Word is that they are still trying to iron out details. Don't think the Knights are in that much of a rush to get rid of him

Have DCE and Norman. At the pointy end of the table need some POD's to keep moving up.
Also like players with decent base stats and he fits this in a nutshell. We I don't 'Like' him in general but my team needs to fill it's dickhead quota

fensom to thompson
benry to copley... for now

Not convinced on copley, perhaps lewis brown is the better option at 188k starting no.11. plays one less bye but is a forward.. seems expensive for someone that i only need to fill some gaps.
Also floating around is brett stewart at a disgustingly tempting 139k but you'd have to be a risk taker to go that one

Both are good options and will have similar scores. Pearce just gets the edge by playing in the big bye weeks

Who knows with Smith mate. If Cronk doesn't play tomorrow night then I'd be feeling a bit more confident that Smith backs up.

That dopey eyed prick is a trap, avoid.

Hey guys quick Q:

600th'ish overall - cash of $80k, team value of $9.2m, 12-13 keepers and 16 trades left - is there any point on doing risky trades?
Was thinking:
Fensom -> ET
Mataora ->Pauli x2

I think the writing is on the wall for Fensom and ET is proving me wrong, and I can't held but think Pauli has done enough for a starting spot. When I think about it I don't really need to do the 2nd trade but I want to catch that train if it takes off. Is it worth burning a trade or should I just slap myself and start again?

Given your posse I don't think you have much to loose with those two trades.
Two players on the up and doesn't really effect the bye rounds.

Seems weird setting up my team for the week and having the R on Smith :/

I do think he'll play this week, but looking at the Storm's Rnd 16 and 19 games they're only against Wests and Newcastle so he could easily be rested for those, especially if Hampton's back. It's a worry he could maybe only play two or three club games in the next seven rounds.

Graham is all but guaranteed 80 min but just isn't scoring well. SST is a gun but his minutes are a huge concern. Both have had a bye which is great. Thoughts?

Buhrer if he stays injury free? Although hard to pick Manlys pack. He might play 80 one week on the bench the next

I think I might have accidentally talked myself into trading Smith to Friend and then going Parcell to Smith after byes. Would only be one extra trade as was planning on going Parcell to Friend after Round 16 anyway.

Worth it?

I like it, provided Smith doesn't play this weekend, which you will know before Roosters play anyway. Thinking outside the square a bit and it makes sense.

Thanks, yeah I'm only considering it due to my # of trades, wouldn't mind a couple of decent scores from Pauli or some cash at the very least. YOPO - you only play once...a year

thoughts on trades this week?
taupau/lamb -> lewis brown, bunt
will leave me with halves of bunt,mbye, milflord, dce
other option being remove mbye but hoping he will come good soon

Finally just got to look through the team lists....ewwww.

Was hoping to do something with Lolohea and Holland but looks like they are in my 17.

Surely Smith plays, we'll see how tomorrow night goes.

Might trade Fensom straight for Tolman, I only got 4K.  If I do that one trade I'll have 16, 17 if Smith plays.  Don't want to play Ese or Feeny, hopefully they both drop out so I can put the VC on BJ and the C on Fifita. Don't see Bhana getting in either.

In regards to Parcell, I don't see Walker backing up so I think Lyon back to Centre and then Koro to 6, with Leary coming onto the bench like the last couple of games. Gonna sit on Parcell hopefully to round 16 then go to Friend.

Yep, definitely thinking Fensom to Tolman.

I feel like I'm cheating on Fensom by trading him out, but to be fair our relationship has gone south of late

A relationship is a team effort and unfortunately he hasn't been doing his part in this situation. We give him loyalty and love and he just isn't responding. Perhaps he's cheating on us as he hasn't showed us the love he use to.

This uh... this actually sounds incredibly sexy.... I'm going to have to think long and hard about this one but I may just steal this idea.
