Yeah, somewhere in the middle to be honest. I have a general strategy/plan but I'm not committed to it. Depending what I do with my second trade I'm going into round 12 with 9/10 players. Will grab Burns if hes back in time for Xerri.

Post round 12, will grab Smith and possibly Farah (if Liddle doesn't ruin his scores). Might pick up Matterson for a sneaky sideways trade and a POD. And run into 16 with 10/11 players. Then grab Teddy and DCE and ride it home. But really feeling the pinch to grab a half now, or even Teddy and run Ponga at half. So who knows if I'll stick to any of that.

If I was in your position I would be trying for 14-15 for each bye round
There isn’t a whole lot of great options for round 12 but you could put some decent points on before burning trades to get the round 17 keepers

Byes or Final 17?

Rein
Fifita, Tolman
Arrow, Murray, Kikau
ARey, Morgan
Nikora, Capewell
Ponga, Teddy, CNK

Gillett, Haas, Lawrie, Cartwright
Xerri, Sivo, Brown, Whitbread

21 trades left. No idea what to do from a rank of 9k

 You have always been like me in regards notorious Bye planners with sidewaysitis. It’s worked for us magnificently in the past and I am even considering Tatola due to said affliction 

But is 14–15 for both Byes doable and still having 6 or so trades left for the run home?

Have you worked out your current Byes numbers? I think that will help with the decision. Nice to have  banked 3 trades, that will help if you decide to Bye plan.

Well from that list I have 8 players pre trades.

Rein, Tolman, Kikau, ARey, CNK, Cartwright, Sivo, Whitbread.
Of those ARey could play Origin and Whitbread might not even be named. So 6 at worst case.

That still doesn't help my decisions.

I don’t think you can win this comp by playing cautiously and having a large number of trades for the run home. Most past winners have had 2-3 trades left post origin and skated by with a strong 18+ a chunk of luck

Yeah, I was going to get Kapow in this week, but will change it to RTS. This means I'll have Ponga, RTS, and Teddy with CNK as cover. Getting closer to the 17.
I'll probably get Kapow in a bit closer to Origin.

Current team

Rein
Fifita Haas
Arrow(c) Murray Taumalolo
Munster Arey
Nikora Capewell
RTS Teddy Ponga

Twal, Mahoney, Lawrie, CNK
Dearden, Xerri, Whitbread, Dbrown
