I saw Barnett rd 11 probably posted on here

So let’s say Jazz/Barnett out till 11 and Tohu unknown. 2 weeks of Curran without any idea of minutes is pretty risky

Curran would be nice if minutes were safe but Webster clearly is not a fan which is concerning. Would not be a surprise to see him back on the bench as soon as Barnett is back to fitness

I don't know about you guys, but I can't avoid furiously trading.

I trade a lot, but I am calm whilst doing it.

Banked a total of 1 trade so far this year

Something is going wrong with my team.

I have 3 obvious trades and not 20 different options I'm stressing over.

E.Katoa to Manu
ITT to Bula
Warbrick to Ponga

I dont actually need Manu if im going Ponga.

another move would be getting in Fotuaika.

Is anyone looking at him?

Hearing that makes me angry.

Is 1 trade worth 100 points at the end of the year again?

In a vacuum yeh it would be, but between byes and origin he’s about to miss a ton of games so that makes things a bit more awkward, is his price worth it if he’s spending half of the next 2 months as an expensive loop?

1K short of Turbo and Carty to Drinkwater and Manu. Mother f***er!

Granville is a weird option. I can’t bring him in without feeling like doing something wrong

Between byes and Origin Ponga probably only plays 4 of the next 8, I'd look elsewhere.

As someone who discovered this morning I was 1k short of Alamoti to Horsburgh, I feel your pain.

Perfect description, the thought of trading him in makes me think, surely I am not doing this right.

To be fair it seems to be the year of the comeback for Fantasy players, carty SJ etc.

Mate would you get Drinky over Lemuelu if it meant no CTR cover? Only have Bird and Manu currently, trading out CNK

Could be Bird/Lemuelu CTRs and Manu in WFB

I see your bad luck stories, but I am just $476k short of Host to Hynes, so I have it pretty tough as well

For some reason I thought Curran had Mid DPP.
That was when I fired the hip shot comment, didnt he gave this last year?
Finished work and just noticed he is just a 2rf for now
Will keep shopping for now

I haven't had centre cover most of the year (Manu in would fix that via Alamoti to the bench, and he allows for a Miller sub next round) But you could flip a coin with Drinky vs Null. I was just hoping Drinky could go on a run of good scores. He could just as easily go on a run of bad scores too.

really scraping the barrel this week

Ekatoa losing cash has messed up my planned trades...
and losing Haas as well as CNK has only added fuel to the fire

I don't mind Horse. I can make my trades work by going Loiero to Horse, but I was hoping to hang on to him for now. It would give:

Loiero -> Horsburgh
Turbo -> Drinky
Carty -> Manu
