Thanks.

Graham and Gallen

Cheers boys Gallen & J. Graham was who I was thinking as well.

Original plan was to go McGuire to Brown before rd 11.

Looking at BEs and With woods injury, Im now thinking if Vaughan gets named ill go Vaughan to Brown this week. Then McGuire to Graham next week.

No worries!

Thanks everyone for all your tips, its given me loads to think about.

Beast, thanks for the compliments mate, I've been really lucky with my trades this year, everyone I've touched has turned to gold and I've somehow managed to stay away from the traps. Only regret is the red dot Papalii, I originally had Ese E but swaped him because he looked lazy in the 9s. I like your trade plan, think I'll end up going a few of those combos but I still keep looking at finding ways to get SJ in and still having enough cash to go around elsewhere.

Thanks Mearcats, looking forward to your rundown.

One last thing, what is everyone's  view on Nathan Brown? His scores seem inflated due to extra minutes. Is he likely to continue playing big minutes and become a season keeper?

Who are the best CTRs and WFB to have over the bye period? Will there be any cheapies in these positions?

Some very solid advice here this morning gents, resulting in a very productive lunch break.

Browne or Graham - which should come in 1st ?

Chewie, may the 4th be with you!

My young bloke is obsessed with Star Wars,  the first thing he said to me this morning when he got out of bed was, may the 4th be with you

Brown first he's making money

Graham still has some cash to lose from his score of 9

Brown, with Kaysa seemingly unable to last 80 minutes due to HIV and just generally being a smaller body and the way he throws himself around, Brown seems like he will jag extra minutes every second game.

Graham to be a good pickup for round 12 after he bottoms out with another 30-40K price reduction

I'll show him that, he'll be stoked that Star Wars even got a mention on a footy forum.

you won't know if Vaughan is getting named till next week. Do McGuire to Brown this then Vaughan to Graham following if necessary

Not sure if he becomes a season keeper but he's definitely bye season gold. Looking like he is getting a few extra minutes each week now, the odd inflated game you take with a grain of salt, but if it's similarly increased over multiple weeks then that's a trend you should pay attention to. He's someone I would put in that "may drop off slightly but still scoring at top level throughout the bye period upgrade if trades allow post round 18" category

Cheers lads. Was just wondering if there was something else i was missing.
Graham / Browne/ Munster and Semi may be my focus.

Procrastinating at work this afternoon... if you had to chose one of Norman and NBrown for a trade in this round - which one would you go for?

Norman.

Depends on your team & who you're selling. Both are exactly the same price & have b/e's in the 30's so whichever 1 you choose the other will probably go close to 500k in round 11. Just go with your gut. Or you could ask yourself which of the 2 will score better against the Roosters & pick accordingly.

If Lolohea does go to the Tigers, and Moses goes to the Eels, who becomes a good trade in

a) Lolohea
b) Moses
c) Luke Brooks
d) Corey Norman

Lolohea is cheap enough that if he became a starting 6 you'd want to look at him closely.
Luke Brooks has taken more control of the team in recent weeks and I'd think that would continue - although probably not to the extent that you'd want to buy him for fantasy.

I wouldn't want to punt on Moses without seeing how he performs with Norman (and who kicks goals out of Moses/Gutherson)
Sharing of general play kicking would be of interest.

Already have Norman, but I'd really look at Lolohea.
