3 games back from his injury , seems to be finding match fitness. He is in a top 2 team , the problem is he is not outside mitchell. Can he do a fergo in the back end? I’m looking at a few centres and he is one of them , won’t be a keeper but won’t be an AE nightmare with a low of 32 in base. He is a big body and gut say’s he can find some form This season we might not need any nuffs so might be able to afford a 300k odd centre on… Read more »

early thoughts are:
OUTS – Tatola, JFH, CNK, DWalker, Allan
INS – Nofo, Maumalo, Manu, Johnson, Kerr
also considering Butcher and Aitken as alternatives to Nofo/Manu
Not that I want one, but I find it interesting that 5/8 is the only position that doesn’t have a single basement price player ($168.1k) available. The cheapest is Lachlan Lam at $179.3k.
Yes in the sense that you are trading a non final 17 player for another non final 17 player. But if you are trading to Manu for 2 weeks to get his Round 16 score, a bit of cash, and then selling to fund RTS to Turbo or something then I don’t see an issue with it, assuming you have the trades to spare.
you want Sivo for his home games, when he’s a good chance of going 50-100. then ideally a couple of other ‘match-up’ centres, like Xerri and others who rotate with Sivo
Barring major injuries this round, my team is set for the rest of the year with 11 trades left. Team is:
Smith/Cook
Haas AFB/Taupau* Fifi
LoLo (VC) Jurbo TKO/Murray Kikau* nuff
Cleary/nuff
Munster/Ponga*
Mitchell Bateman Ma’u Nikora/Gutho nuff nuff
Turbo (c)/RTS*
$58.1k ITB
Thoughts on that team to round out for the year? I did Fergo to TKO, who would be better for the rest of the year?
and it begins….
1134 moved me 3600 spots to 15601….
1121 moved me up 216 places to 429th overall (15963 total points). Pretty happy with that after the round of carnage!
And so it ends…
935 moved me 3181 spots to 16,295…
The difference between cup half full and empty! 🙂
Held steady at 2300th with 1071.
dodged a bullet this week. Xerri, CNK, McInnes (thanks to the TA) scrapped my way to 1030.
Only lost 338 spots to 2477 (total 15,702)
Score of 1233 moved me from 1181 to 336. Season high for me and bloody stoked considering I was 66,000 in R3.
Well done mate
Nice climb!
What’s your overall points total at 336?
15,994
1073 moved me 52 places up to 1109 (Total 15387)
That’s better! A 1229 put me back into top 1k (from rank 1,025 to 296). My best rank since round 8.
huge
Knew i’d see green, but didn’t expect that much.
Time to make 100 trades and reverse them all between now and next week! Good luck everyone 😆
What’s the go with Hall’s job security? He has borderline elite base for a CTW.
not at all. you want 45+ with centres.
Years gone by a 40 base average was mansour level.
the commentators said he needs to play every week so take that as anything haha
we’ll only know for certain once Borris is back from his knee injury
No disrespect to Bmoz but Hall in my opinion is a better player

Has anyone got their 2018 keyring yet?
No, I submitted that form that came with an email i got for it.
Same… still waiting.
No mate. Sent an email a week ago and no answer

Marsters v Nofo is tough

Drew Hutchinson is pretty close and a a quasi-nuff once Keary is back.
Wasn’t there word that Keary was back soon? I wouldn’t buy Drew now since he’s not safe for rd 16.
What are the chances Martin ends up at the Dragons in a few weeks? I still own him (I know, I know), so hoping for a switch.
the dragons missed out on RFM so who knows
The only talk of Martin to dragons has been in this chat. I’m not sure the dragons are actually after him.
would a sivo- manu be a sideways trade now?

6 tries the last 5 games for a 55 avg doesn’t inspire me tho
he is the highest try scorer in the comp and a regular go-to for the eels in the red zone. not sure what’s not inspiring
Surely there’s a dry spell coming
have you seen the eels run home from round 17 ? i would’t bet on it – he’s the new Semi
I’ve got fergo and gutho in the backs at bottom dollar so didn’t want 3 eels
292 points from 100th position. finished just outside the top 1000 (1093)
Nice work
That’s me in 100th there mate! 😆
1360 went from 1359th to 121st happy days
Massive!
Round 8 – position 2046
Round 14 ————89
So if you get a little run happening you can make up significant ground
Total 16146
Just behind you in 92nd mate… was at 2543 in Round 8… 16k in Round 2.
Best of luck , I am off to Bali after rnd 15 , so may fall away a bit .
I’ve gone 85th to 3rd in 2 weeks without going massive. Besides the top dog the rankings are so compressed. Captains choices are everything.
this round was pretty massive for you though, relative to the majority of scores
Well captain Turbo was. More the rest of my team has been pretty ordinary.
Ahhh, so you’re who owns that team! You guys are in my league Early Birds. No wonder we are going well. Great stuff 🙂
Round 11 13261
Round 14 429
Thanks to you guys mainly and finally the correct C calls and as a result good Round positions (12 – 200; 14 – 240).
Does anyone have a list of the best Rd 16 cheapies / nuffs?

Matterson over TKO
Just can’t afford him
Not enough back up in the centres.
Would you say I should undo the Fergo to TKO trade to keep that backup? My Nuffs at 2RF are dual CTWs
Think you need an SJ/DCE in there as backup half
