very annoying its the last game to. If im going Campbell i need to make the call early.

R13, SOO blah blah blah etc etc

Still think he outscores someone like Drinkwater between now and the end of the season. But are there other options at that price (position agnostic)?

Actually thinking of doing the exact same mate

Teddy is looking much more involved recently and a big score ain’t far

I think they should be playing Campbell at CTR over Kelly anyway, needs to be on the field. Would be hard to contain both him and Kini at fullback.

Half an hour of speechlessness. Seems appropriate  

BHunt to hooker? Up 2 Griffin?

Is Campbell still a pick up if he is 60+ min a centre?

Griffin can't have any doubters now.
I mean no one can doubt he's lost the plot.

Mbye/Hunt sharing hooker duties with Sullivan and Amone in the halves. (This is apparently how they trained today).

I’m so torn some reckon you need Hynes now others think build squad value in other ways and get Hynes round 18 or 20 it’s a hard decision. I see good arguments on both sides.

I would have this next week once I bring Tatola in for Couchman.

Boyd
Ford JDB Haas
Hosking Preston
Cleary Hynes
Bird Lemuelu
Teddy Miller Manu

SJ Cheese Loiero Tatola
Bula AJ I. Katoa S. Luke

Not worried that Tatolo will be a late scratch with the passing of his father?

I honestly have no real decent options that make sense. I’m probably better off just holding tight, then smashing trades later. I have no real cash, and no obvious targets that are achievable, quite the pickle.

Options are:

Miler to horse - I’ve got a bit of cover for wfb, seems wasteful though.

Hosking to hopgood. Sideways but gives me a decent r13 option and hoping no SOO

Cook
Haas, carrigan, ford
Fifita, hosking
Cleary, Moses
Penis, alamoti
Walsh, turbo, Miller

Manu, Preston, (this is where the fun starts), bula, Knik

Hands, Luke, couchman, Granville.

22 trades and 30k to waste.

Anyone got any ideas of obvious wins that I’ve missed?

Going into the weekend with one trade (AKP ---> Horsburgh)

Boyd
Haas, Horsburgh, Ford
Hosking, Preston
Cleary, Reynolds
Bird, Alamoti
Tedesco, Manu, Bula

Smith, Loiero, JDB, Crossland

Hands, Couchman, Stone, Crossland

Be nice if Couchman made his way back into the 17... though with a 29be maybe it's best he doesn't.

That's what I keep telling myself as owner since start. Have both. Don't think Alamoti urgent sell

Mate, I've been with you on this call for a couple weeks now but I dunno, I'm not so sure anymore.  I'll probably hold but I don't like it.  He hasn't looked anywhere near as dangerous the last couple of weeks and his defence has been poor.

You have quite the collection of coin goats there friend.

Might be time to look at moving Cook and Carrigan to rd13 players and free up a bit of cash to upgrade those goats. Cook and Carrigan will be sells over origin anyway.

Eg Cook to Robson and Carrigan to Horse. Not massive $ banked on their own but together there is $130k or so and two rd13 players. That could enable something like Couch to Luki/Tatola which will help as you need to improve those final bench players.

Correct, it is a herd of coin goats.

You’ve actually raised a good point. Plenty of players I can move on and aim for rd 13.

Thank you, much appreciated

If Oloapu starts then Couchman (who looks like he's lost his spot in the 17) could make way for him - fund upgrades elsewhere.
Soni Luke probably not going to go up much more though could barge over against the Warriors this weekend.
I've got Hands and I'm struggling with his low scores/lack of cash gains. Not sure if I can hold him through to the bye round and he'll probably just add 15 points to that score anyway.
Apart from that team looks fine.
Miller still a hold for me. Very up and down scoring but still a WFB averaging 50+-.
Hosking another one I'm considering a keeper all the way through until something changes. Plays Warriors this week too.

Selling to Fifita mate.

I think I'm holding Murray and Cook despite the huge BEs and incoming cash drops. Cook has already lost $169k. Eeek.  

I'm also thinking of holding them through the byes along with a bunch of other Origin players, in the hope of keeping a healthy amount of trades for after the first bye.

Replied to the wrong message. I struggle to speak.

Cheers, yeah oloapu would be an okay shout, milk a dry boney coin goat. (Goats milk is actual trash as well).

I’m not keen on selling carrigan just yet. He only just started banging out decent scores.

Both went massive against the Storm in round 5 too. Weird have both have slightly dropped off. Murray got 87 that round. That's the one thing making me a little hesitant.

It all depends how many Origin players you have already in relation to how many you can hold.

All I would say is don't compound the depreciation of value to Cook/Murray by missing out on bargain price mini guns with low BE's (Horse, JDB, Hopgood, NAS, Lemuelu etc).
