Nope, he will still be under 300k next week.

I was gonna trade in Mannering, Friend and Tolman and reversed it at the last second and went S. Burgess, Paulo and Fine.Revraiser wrote:

It's funny in 2015 he burned me by getting injured straight after he spent a month out with a separate injury. Next year I avoided him for that reason and bought Woods instead to start the year. This time however it was Tolman who got injured and Graham banged out 60 after 60 and never got injured. I got him in eventually but it was still my worst choice of the year.
This year he's got me again. Oh you crazy pommy bastard I don't want to trade you but how much longer will you cause me this strife?

Unless he's out long term with the shoulder, he's a season keeper
I'm the same as Michcow - I'm stuck with BJ & Graham now and my thinking is that I either keep them both (which I'm doing) or sell them and lose a load of cash, plus 2 transfers, with the possibility they both turn into guns and mock me again. Obviously keeping them may mean they carry on scoring badly but you have to draw the line somewhere and hope for the best.

Niko to Munster is looking like a perfect trade this week. My original plan was Brailey to McInnes and either Brown/Kaufusi/Bodene to JDB/Tolo. There is simply no need to rush into the Brailey to McInnes trade other than the bye this week, but Smith should back up. Looks like I might have to play Yates in my FR with Fifi out but whatever.
Bodene is pissing me off so I'm tempted to trade him before Kaufusi and Brown and keep them for 15.

Bye players aren't locked out yet. Wonder if I should use my third trade to do a cash out while I still can. Thought I had missed my chance because of working all day. I don't want to invalidate my round though.
Edit: Trades are locked out even though the players aren't. Disregard

They are ok though, u gotta remember with Surgess it is his average overall. Forget the 40's and chow down on his 60-70's.
And Fine was a gud cash out. I went him to. Happy with that one.

I'm nervous (no pun intended) about Graham's injury flaring consistently, leaving his scores a lottery. I only bought him in last week, but if you make an error it's importantt to fix it quickly. Would go Niko to Sele via many DPPs and Graham to JDB. Would mean running Wallace and JWH as FRFs for a couple of rounds but would have cash to bring in Taupau and Fifita in Rnds 16 and 19. Negative is I'll abandon my planned Brailey to McInnes trade, but that might no be such a negative.

I've had this planned for a few weeks, but I just don't see the rush at all. Brailey back to back with 46 and 49 and getting better and better each week. Close to a try in both weeks too.

Climbed 2 803 places this week to sit just outside the Top 5 000 mark. Ended up with a score 620 points.

This is a bit of humble brag, but reached the top 4,000 for the first time this season. I think in Round 3 I was out to 27,000th after a couple of 650 scores so I am treating this as a victory. Maybe a realistic goal by the end of the season is to crack to triple figure rank.
I am sure some people will give up their teams after a bit too, which should make it a bit easier
661 this week!!

Ideal 3 FRFs to end up in final 17? Fifita, but which two of Taupau, Vaughan, James? Not sure Graham gets a look in, thinking about it. Should have thought about this last week, on reflection.

I am thinking of trading Graham in when he bottoms out. If I can cash out a mid-ranger might be able to upgrade Hoare to Graham

699 from 13, and halved my rank to 224.
Traded in Gallen, Friend and Semi who all scored well.

Brown had been scoring well too. Probably back from injury next week!

I'm glad to hear Norman might be back sooner than expected... I didn't end up trading him out as I had a couple more urgent trades. I might just hold onto him now he's going to be back in a few weeks.
