Finch wrote:**Probably unpopular opinion time**

I fully understand we all enjoy fantasy, we all want advice on our teams, forum is great etc etc.

However, I'm currently about 10 pages behind as I was out today so I'm catching up on them all. I'm seeing a lot of posters posting trade ideas, despite already being given advice and then them saying "Thanks for the advice, I'll make those trades". Then before you know it 2 pages go by and they are asking about new trade ideas, or even worse the same bloody trades. It's annoying.


Probably unpopular opinion, but just wanted to get that off my chest...

I don't find it annoying at all personally.  Everyone has their own personality on here.  You know I'd turn for you mate, but you are the first person who has mentioned it for along time, so yes, it is an unpopular opinion.  I don't think anyone should be discouraged from posting in the way they do, unless it is contrary to the spirit of the forum.

Bolded the above in case you are ever in town

Cleary wont drop too much but still will give him two games to see how he is fairing after his injury. I think this is his first one and just would like to see how he handles it.

I actually think I have my keepers for my back 5 at this stage but if Cotric gets fullback he'll be straight in

McCullough, Fifita, JTurbo, SJ, *insert centre here* and TTurbo would probably be my list by position.

Mighty Fishes wrote:I read that as Vaughn 2

I was like there is a second one??

I wish lad, missed the Vaughn train last year!

I got Macca going around $810,00 if he goes 50, 55, 50. probably wishfull thinking, but I'd snap him up if he does

I'm with you there bro. Over $850k is such a mission but anything under that seems much more achievable. Going to have to milk some cows dry though

Welshy wrote:@Finch

something new for you to ease your ills

one player in each position you are hoping to grab after 1 or 2 more (realistic) price drops

Mighty Fishes wrote:At what stage do the eels starting dropping the halves?

They have mixed and changed every position except there? Don't think have some young gun waiting to get a crack? Moses and Norman have been pretty terrible!

Random wrote:Cheers for all the advice Mearcats. Just on your comments.

Jai Arrow getting 60+ minutes is a keeper in my book. RFM is a potential keeper. Kikau and JFH need to kick on to be keepers but are solid. End of year I want to bring in J. Trbojevic, J. Taumalolo, S. Burgess, and A. Fifita. With the guys I already haven I might grab Mannering instead.

Hiku is a pseudo keeper for mine. He is good enough in the centers that he is one of my last priority trade outs. Godinet is a trade out but less likely to lose money than the guys I traded. Next week Godinet and Lodge are out. One for a keeper and one for a cow. Haven't narrowed the keeper from the list of guys above and Johnson yet.

I think Arthur goes if it gets to that personally.  Could you imagine either of Princess Corey or Princess Mitchell getting sent back to Wenty!

Have made and reversed so many trades and am not really convinced on any of them. I am just going to have to abandon my team now and cross my fingers that I don't lose too many ranks this week.
