Reynolds rumour? Fark, only got him in the week before

Still have Walker mate

Word going around that he broke his thumb, still unconfirmed though.

I thought with Cody in your halves while Reynolds is out will be a great scorer and you could've layed off the SJ trade to save it for an emergency.

Didn't realise you have Reynolds as well.

Just thought of a left field option D: NBrown to Mannering and SJ to Pearce. Thoughts please guys?

That one seems pretty sideways to me.

Sorry, double post, not sure what happened there.

Piss off reynolds if you are injured. I cant have him and SJ gone.

1. McInnes to Smith
2. Elliot to Vaughan (via dpp)
3. RTS/Lolohea/CWalker to DCE

Which trade is more important? Which trade can wait? Who should I trade out from option 3?

Who is your other hooker Chewie? Just wondering if you could manipulate those trades to keep McInnes and still get Cam in?

Anyone riding home without Smith?

I contemplated it, and then Friend went down.

I've got both of them too lol. My reserves are Nu Brown and Laybutt. What can I say, I like to live dangerously.

Pain wrote:Anyone riding home without Smith?

Twin Cam for me, but with a potentially week FRF in Brown/Tolman/Bromwich as a compromise.

Pain wrote:Anyone riding home without Smith?

Not by choice

Just bumping this as I didn't get a response

Hey guys need some advice on what to do with my team this week

3 trades 128k

Smith McInnes
Fifita Taupau Brown Eisenhuth
Taumalolo Gallen JDB Surgess Crichton Fai
SJ Munster NuBrown Hampton
BJ Scott Fuimaono Kelly
RTS Mansour Edwards Hayne Phythian

Was thinking of just going for broke and using 2 trades this week leaving me with 1 in case of emergency

Option A: Trade out RTS and SJ for DCE and Pearce/Cleary

Option B: Trade out SJ for Pearce/Cleary and Fui for Turbo

Option C: Trade out Fui for Turbo and SJ for DCE

What do people think is the best option? Or is there anything else people can see?

Trade out SJ. Keep your trades and think back on the mistakes you made to get you here so you don't make them again.

Hi All,

Long time listener, first time poster. After some advice. Playing H2H, $161k ITB, 9 trades left.

Smith, McInnes (R)
Fifita, McGuire, Eisenhuth, Tatola
Surgess, Gallen, Crichton, Tolo(R), JDB(R), Wallace(R)
Pearce, DCE, Laybut, Fogarty
TTurbo, Cotric, Fui, Fine,
RTS, Munster, Edwards, Hayne, Isaako

Thinking Cotric out for DPP Ctr/wfb. Hayne to centre.

Wallace to Mannering or RTS to Teddy?

Any advice appreciated.

I would go balls to the wall and option A

Id back DCE and Cleary/Pearce to outscore DCE and TTurbo

Pain wrote:Anyone riding home without Smith?

Yep, no Smith for me. Unfortunately I'll be finishing with McInnes and Friend.
Twin Cam was the plan but I used had to use all my Smith cash fixing the Graham problem.
Was going to go with the McDouble after Friend went down, but then trading out Johnson became more important than trading out Friend. Not ideal but tough luck.

Considering there is a bit of conjecture about which guy to bring in over another guy, someone posted this one a work forum today which I found pretty handy to give an idea of what each teams run to the finals is like (e.g. Cleary with a bunch of home games against a few teams out of the 8 compared to DCE and Pearce.)

The road home...:

I couldn't fit all of the knights and tigers in due to the screenshot size, but they haven't been too fantasy relevant right?

Green/red = home/away, yellow = alternate venue
Rounds down the left side
Current ladder position from left to right across the top.

I'd probably trade SJ to DCE or Pearce and leave it at that. There's always injuries towards the end of the season and you'll be glad you had an extra trade up your sleeve.

If you HAVE to make two trades, I'd probably look at moving munster to wfb via RTS and trading SJ for Pearce.

Pain wrote:Anyone riding home without Smith?

Honestly I considered it since Friend was scoring so well, then he got injured...

Smith straight in this week.

Welcome aboard MC.
9 trades left

Halves and centers look a bit light if injuries happen so maybe keep Hayne up the sleave for later.
DPP Wallace is handy if one of the FRF goes down late in the season.
Some of your trades will depend on what your h2h opponent has.

Why not take a risk and go Cotric to James Roberts? I'm not a H2H player so I don't know though POD's help you but could win some watch ups.

I'd go RTS to Teddy. The Warriors are hopeless without Johnson although he might step up in his absence.
Manners very good but Wallace should be good for 4 at least.
