I want Fifita, but the only way I can get him now is through Havilli, but not sure I should be jumping off Havillli yet.

Could go Rein to Surgess instead. If Griffin didn't play 13 I would have tossed him. This game can fuck with you sometimes.

Unfortunately JMK is just playing to the game plan. He's been told to pass from the ground and give his play makers plenty of time and space. Lichaa got dropped because his passing is too slow.
Holland is obviously told to come on for the last 20 mins and run from dummy half to target tired forwards.

JMK would have to make 50 odd tackles in 60 mins to get a good score

Yeah, Im moving JMK on next week. Sad to see him go

On the plus side I can bring in another r13 gun

Edit- actually scrap that. Im sure there will be a fire to put out instead

Still just hanging on to first

Final brag before I drop away

I think I'm with the majority and have neglected / couldn't be bothered with bye planning......but had a spare 5 minutes so counted up the troops. I have 5 for Round 13, including Cook and Ponga

I am going to take a punt and say that's a little below average but I must be pretty strong for R17!

i'll probably hold JMK for a little while, he priced at about his average and doesn't really seem to be in danger of dropping money, and there are others (Rein & Maloney) that will be bleeding cash as soon as next week, hoping maybe i get lucky and he jags a try for a short cash boost before it's time to turn him into Turbo

Can anyone shine a light on what possible moves I should do next;

Cook
JFH Kikau
Murray Tolo RFM
MBye Maloney
Mitchell Marsters
Teddy Ponga Isaako

Smith Havilli Martin Arrow

Thompson Griffin Rein Coggar

255K ITB. My initial plan was Havilli to Fifita but now I'm not sure sure. Looks like I should keep Havilli with the likes of Rein, Maloney, Griffin and possible Murray needing attention. Fifita is my target, so just go with him, or go Rein to maybe Surgess? Other options is Rein to a back like Aitken via Mitchell, ARey or even DCE. I could even downgrade Rein to someone now having the money to go Maloney to DCE and Griffin to Fifi next week? So unsure. If I get someone for Rein, they will probably come in for Arrow. Any advice would be magic.

also i wish Yeo would hurry up and drop cash, i don't expect him to be given CTR, but i'd still like his price to tank in-case he does, thought that was guna happen when he was on 6 at half-time but then he got himself up to 31.

Have you traded this week?

Sorry, should have mentioned that. Yes, Soro to Martin, so 1 trade left. This is all dependent on Peats starting or not obviously. Targets would be Fifita, DCE and Surgess moving forward I think, so just not sure which way to go.

Fifita's knee is still giving rumblings Wolfie so I would look at the Maloney to DCE trade. Cleary coming back is probably the death knell for Maloney's scores unfortunately. Rein may still make some coin before you pull the pin

I gave Arrow the flick for Burgess but thats an iffy trade that may come back to bite me. I am hanging tough around 20th position so have to take some chances. You will have to address the Griffen situation soon or put up with mediocre scores and loss of coin with the only thing in his favour is the bye.

If you set up a kick starter I'd donate for a new TV. Such a lad and you've been without one for about ten years.

You can donate on the stats site

There must be nearly enough for a TV by now lol

Thanks mate. Was looking at using the other trade with players left this weekend first to set up next week also. That's why I'm looking at Rein to Surgess or DCE tonight if Rein is back on the bench. Maloney and Griffin definitely going next week, if Levi is on the bench. Just not sure how to get a step forward towards next week now with remaining trade and players left that I can utilise. That's why with the likes of Griffin Maloney etc, thinking Havilli should stay. Or else would go Havilli to Fifita. I think Surgess is ready to go mate too.

Take a gamble on S’ua or keep martins score?

White Lightning wrote:@ Wolfking - next week I would move Mbye to wfb so I think you should focus on trying to get 2 halves for next week.

Cheers mate. I know my halves are the weakest link. If Rein moves to the bench I might cash him out but the only one left worth getting is Brimson but don't really want him.
