6/ 567 C AJ
Only Mulitalo & AFB left to play ….

Ranked way down 14+K for reference

Sonnysideup

7/703 with AFB to go. No danger to the leaders either 🙂

Eagle

732 AFB Jazz and SJ to go. Thought I would be stuffed for this round actually looking half decent

New recruit tupou didn’t fire but 48 in B+P for a CTW with no attacking stats, I’ll take every day of the week. Especially when the upgrade is from someone like simonsson and his floor

BroncosGirl

Agree …. but also think he got quite ‘lucky’ in a sense with one or 2 runs/plays giving him alot of those points …..
Non owner but he’s score was looking pretty dire for a while there ( as we’re the roosters in general ) hence why I wasn’t so keen/ didn’t jump on

tofu yarris

I take back what i said about his base is poor… ill be buying him next week 😛

TrainingTheHouseDown

Priority for next week / rest of season?
TU: Hughes
TD: Crichton

Trade-a-holic

Hughes second best HFB behind Cleary who either may not return or may not be as effective playing injured whereas Crichton is one of many good 2RFs so Hughes gets my vote.

Philtrooper

H2H player only – down 33 this round. I have Lodge, opponent has SJ. I haven’t used my trades opponent has. 11 trades left. Win or lose won’t make much difference in my spot on the ladder.

Thinking of going Gutho to Ramien and Luai to SJ/Niko.

TU: do it (as I get another two player for round 18 carnage)
TD: hold trades as losing won’t matter much.

Trade-a-holic

I would use 1 trade to bring in SJ which will give you the win as surely Lodge scores more than 33 and save the other trade which you can always do next week (Ramien’s BE is 74 so he might even be a little cheaper next week). If Round 18 carnage occurs which is likely not sure I would be trading out Gutho who at least is a live body despite his high BE.

chukka

I think Luai out is a good trade. I don’t think he will score as well without Cleary, and wasn’t scoring well with Cleary lately either. SJ or Niko with goal kicking are both solid upgrades.

I would be holding Gutho for R18 against Titans where he possibly also kicks goals. Gutho will play R18, he’s not in the 17 for Origin.

Philtrooper

Maybe I could sell Cleary for SJ – get the win. Have another warm body for 18. Cause who knows what Cleary is doing.

tofu yarris

Those AC joints in the shoulder are terrible, as Watson has said, don’t be surprised if Cleary doesn’t play again this year, possibly finals

BroncosGirl

I voted TD …. if the loss this week doesn’t matter anyway u probs better of holding trades for the run home and inevitable injuries, resting and suspensions…..
If u could do a sole trade to trade out luai > sj I’d say yes for sure ( as others have illuded to) but I’m guessing/ assuming the gutho trade is to fund it ?
Which could go either way …..

Philtrooper

You would be correct. Can’t get SJ in unless I sell Gutho. I could sell Cleary for SJ and bank the cash and only make one trade.

uncledami

Cleary>Niko. He has the best draw for H2H finals and will outscore SJ for rest of season imo

Philtrooper

That is the other toss up. Also Niko will be playing Panthers without Cleary and Luai definitely and maybe other origin stars.

I don’t mind the play. I think I will do that! Thanks everyone for talking through the options!

Niko has 3×100+ scores this season. SJ has 3×100+ scores in 3 1/2 seasons

Philtrooper

Why not both with Cleary’s money? Haha

gareth

TU SJ & Ramien
TD Niko & DWZ

BroncosGirl

TU ~ probs going more with the crowd
TD ~ bit of a POD move (dwz could be a good play from 20 onwards ~ but not so convinced with panthers & rabbits in 80 & 19) I know niko same draw but feel he’s still got better base, js and chances of scoring attacking stats when not limited to mostly one side

gareth

Does anyone know when Papz is due back? Is Rd 19 confirmed? Or is it still uncertain?

smashheadman

I heard next round and that he may return from the bench

Sally M

My gut feel is if he does return from the bench, he only misses the opening exchanges and comes in after around 20 minutes and plays out the game or something close to it depending on scoreline.

smashheadman

I sold niko this week to avoid future dilemma of having him stuck in my team

pipiman

I would of thought so too, thought I was the only person that had him so….

tofu yarris

Burton to

TU NIko – for this round, ?on keeper til the end?
TD Hughes – he outscores Niko easy for the rest of the year?

MenziesBeaver

I’m ranked 1600 and managed to take the C off Cody walker before the game and as such think I’m way behind now. Expecting a red arrow. Have the C on SJ and also have ronaldo and AFB.

8 trades left. Would you use another trade to pick up another player?Thinking Burton to nikorima.

Would you make the trade or hold and take the red arrow this week?

The Green Monsters

Need to win a h2h. Which is a better trade for this week and going forward

TU: Hynes > AFB
TD: Burton > Nikorima

The Green Monsters

Resounding.

Joe Locke

Who are people backing this arvo?
TU: Warriors
TD: Sharks

Sally M

Will depend on final teamlists.

chooks

better 3rd frf for run home?

TU TPJ
TD JFH

chooks

cheers troops jfh for fifi it is

gareth

Who would you prefer for H2H finals?
TU Niko
TD SJ

mikeroxoz

Warriors play Dogs in 1st round of finals and then Broncos. Sharks play Melbourne on the H2H GF so the match-ups favour Niko on paper

Sally M

Nothing official at this stage but there are rumours Shaun Johnson may be a late out – source Clinton Maynard 2GB.

Hold off on trading in until teamlists finalised at 3.05.

LOTE

The banner could be back in a big way

JerryWorld

Nah I can see him in the sheds getting changed.

JerryWorld

Are you serious? I traded him in 30 minutes ago. I waited all day and figured ah everyhting is OK.

Sally M

Hi JW – I never post unless I get a source for a potential out. In this case, Wacko was also reporting SJ as a potential late out.

Fortunately Johnson is playing (I’m an owner as well having brought him in last week) but its a good reminder to hold off on your trade until teamlists are confirmed.

JerryWorld

I know Sally I wasn’t having a go at you at all I was just frustrated as I had waited for so long then When I read your post I was incredulous. Glad the source was wrong.

Sally M

Sharks: Chambers OUT, Tracey (centre), Talakai (2nd row), Nikora (bench), Hiroti IN (bench), Metcalf (18)
Warriors: Evans OUT, Murchie IN (bench), Pompey (18)

The banner does not strike…. Johnson owners can rest easy.

BroncosGirl

Well, hasn’t struck ‘yet’ 😉 …. there’s still plenty of time for us non owners
