Cooper and Hess as the 2RFs is partially the problem with the cows. Do they have a 2RF in the wings?

Up a few thousand but still well outside top 10,000. Been here before though and worked my way back! Worse thing is I can't quite see where it's all going so horribly wrong before trades this weekend was looking like

Any ideas?

How you go this week pal?

Pending team lists  I think you cracked it with your proposed ponga + chrichton trades or something very similar at least.

I continued my slide and unfortunately the napa injury is a little more on the wound. Just going to try keep trading my way out of it, probably Tamou to klem and then unsure but likely have to do something for cash, so maybe napa to haas or something so I can fix the other problem areas the following week.

From now or when he first did it?

Way Ive interpreted it, is it's from now. Says he's just started his rehab process on the hamstring. Minimum 4 week injury and won't be taking any risks at this stage

Something has got to give with Bateman. That pommie fook has us all fooled

Hess is a juicy price currently!

Getting too attached is a fantasy recipe for disaster! (says the guy praying Edwards returns to form)

Get some big cashies in this week or at least 1 with a Ponga/Crichton if you can, solidfy your scoring for a few weeks whilst Friend and hopefully Burns returns early! Stat the slow slog up the rankings then!

I'll be with you there as still behind your 12,500 mark!

We can do this together lad!

Haha it's not so much attachment, it just annoys me that I'll probably wanna trade him back in! Wasting trades as usual lol

But yeah I think I'm definitely getting Okunbur in to at least get some cash generation because injured players aren't doing anything lol

I'll look forward to seeing where we end up

Macca
Fifi Taupau 
Murray Arrow Bateman 
Morgan Carty
Bird Capewell 
Sivo CNK Edwards 

Rein Nikora Garner Lawrie

Rava Keighan Burns Morris

120K.  Luckynumber gave me a good option of a CHT downgrade and Edwards to Ponga which seems pretty clearcut but anyone see anything else?  Rapa is enticing too if I'm looking towards round 12.  Thanks all.

Similar plan but I'd go Edwards to Tedesco and Macca to CHT. (CHT being for cash generation)

Leaves 262k cash for next week grabbing Ponga (~665k) and Bird, Burns or Garner can do that in a single trade. You could swap Ponga this week and Teddy next but Teddys BE is lower.

Rein
Fifi Taupau 
Murray Arrow Bateman 
Morgan Carty
Capewell Nikora 
Ponga CNK Tedesco 

CHT Sivo Garner Lawrie
Rava Keighan Burns Morris

Your bench would be weak but it shores up your back 3. Injuries will let you play loops so the bench isn't as dire as it looks. Alternately rely on Morris/Burns when they come back and maybe you could pickup Chrichton or Cleary over Teddy/Ponga.

Other path is getting cash out of your Morris/Burns to CHT/Xerri and picking up double guns next week.

Mitch Dunn is the only one preferred but can’t see him pipping them.

That's what I've been telling myself so far lol yet 4 rounds don't lie

He's got that TB ability to turn 30s into 40s. Kid is a gun

Lawrie likely ot have gotten himself an extra rise or two and potentially some extra with no Korbin hasn't he?

Video re Burns -
Sounds as though he is progressing well, injury update says he thinks he will be back in about month whether that’s 3-4 works or 4-5 I think I have held him this long I’ll keep holding. Said it is pretty much based on how he progresses in the gym and expects him to be running within the next week or two.

This is what I thought after round 1... then round 2.... then round 3 but it didn’t so I had to get him in. He just has the ability to break a tackle and break the line. Fitness is top notch and just a no nonsense ball runner.

Listened to a really good discussion on the cowboys on sundays grandstand. They have some dreadful defensive stats.  Which is attitude.

Hess is just lazy and unfit and Cooper is soft

Great analysis and great plan. That'll have you pretty set at the back. Will just need to look at how tū get a gun hooker

Rein
Tolman Napa (just traded in)
Arrow Bateman Murray
Munster Morgan
Bird Nikora
CNK Edwards Ravalawa

Macca Garner Burr Lawrie
Brown Keighran Friend Burns

$149k, 28 trades

The injuries have fucked me over massively. Only thing I'm happy with is 2RF, HLF and CTR. Can't really afford to bring in any guns with 5 injuries. Probably going Meaney and Okunbur in for AK and Brown

I think you should look at a big gun. Cook,Fifita maybe Farah. Too much money sitting there not earning you points.

Friend Napa trade outs, anyone a red dot up for grabs if you can get quality.

Evan Napa and Keighran would probably get you Ponga which is handy halves cover as well.

Lol Carty, Edwards and Sivo the biggest issues.

Gillett to Ponga, Host to Okunbur/CHT

Why trade Gillett if he's not the biggest issue though?

Thinking I may hold out one more week before getting CSmith... should drop some cash.

I’ve gone Garner > Bateman. But I’m not sure. Garner could be in for a field day against the broncos. I’ve got trade options of players who should earn cash to trade: BElliot; Host; Burns; DBrown.
