Mbye in yes but for Walker I think it's sideways mate plus losing a good scorer for R13

Can anyone else can make way?

I could not get Maloney, but am dedicated to the cash grab.

Other than that could spunk all my bank on Havili or Croker to Mbye but I want my bank to single trade upgrade the likes of Lodge, Griffin, TPJ when they peak.

I could wait a week, but Cody has a BE of 69 so could cost a lot to look. Also, Moses is LOOKING AT ME.

Thompson. Isaako just has gk & Roberts will never give him the ball.

Agree, the last couple of weeks I have been thinking, great, Isaako is doing well without scoring any tries, must have a really high ceiling when he gets a double. Last week I started thinking it is more likely he goes the next 10 games without a try at all, than scoring a double. Will be exiting my team earlier than I had initially hoped.

Not really liking Thompson on the wing either though. When he doesn't get tries, the points will dry up.

Thompson will need to go soon. He's nearly done his job

Gonna hold Cody. If you have to think too much about a trade it's usually best to save it. Watching Mbye is going to be unbearable today though.

I think Thompson will still score ok without tries because he is extremely quick & has very good balance off each foot so can change direction at speed so he can rack up tb's. I've never seen someone as quick as him over 10-20 metres so all he needs is the slightest hole in the defensive line & he's through. I also noticed last week even though he was on the wing he spent a lot of the time in the middle like a fb trailing the ball carriers.

Smith, Cook
Kikau, Arrow, Rochow, Lodge
Merrin, Murray, Harris,RFM, Griffin
JMK, Townsend, Croker, Cartwright
Leilua, Isaako, Kennar
Tedesco, Ponga, Hiku


Any ideas on who I should trade in, I have no idea this week?

I was thinking to trade out Leilua to Dugan but do I give him one more week?
Cartwright is a go best trade in Maloney?
Is Merrin worth one more week?

I think Merrin & Cartwright are the more urgent trades. With the Raiders season on the line Leilua will be looking to have a big game. Get in Maloney & play him over JMK. With the Merrin trade you seem stacked with plenty of options in your frf & 2fr so I would move Hiku to ctr & put Isaako in your emergencies & get a quality fullback like D. Edwards as an expensive option or Dufty as a cheaper option.

Interested in either Rapana or Cotric at fullback
Both could be kill it there

Not for just 1 game. If you own Cotric you should be happy because Cotric apparently is the one that was training at fb in the off season as a fb backup so I think he'll play fb.

I want to hold him until round 13.

I’m going out on a limb here. If you brought in Maloney, you’ve just fucked your season. Two wasted trades. One in. One out. Both fucked

Find all this tossing around of who to captain interesting.
It's easy for me. I'll be captaining that hooker.

(average was higher in 2013-2015)

Negatives were only 13 a game, so first hope is he tidies himself up a little there. Not expecting perfection, just a little improvement

Then
15 tackles
70 run metres
200 kick metres
4-8 conversion points
And enough attacking stats (TB, LB, LBA, TA) to cover for the negatives

He’s now the easiest to get at, marked-man in the NRL. Good luck James. You’ve got a target on your forehead and you don’t like that. No one else to share the playmaking with. Poor bastard.

Even the Eels forums think the Panthers will easily beat them & score plenty of tries. Maloney will fuck those who haven't brought him.

What is the definition of fucked ? Lose money? Make less than 50K? 100k?

Make less money and score less points over the next 6 weeks over someone like Cartwright?

Croker to JFH or keep the cash? At what price do we think he will peak? Kinda chasing the cash but would like to have a bit of a cash pile too

Nick Cotric is the one named at fullback..................

Technically one trade given pretty much everyone trading him in are trading out Carty and they'd be doing that anyway.....just saying

Good thing I like getting fucked.
