Had trouble logging in yesterday, i finished with 1167 and dropped from 596 rank to 749 this week, Captained Hass was a good call but some very disappointing numbers from cust masters kikau Tko and Maumalo.
Ranked in the 30,000 for the rnd with an 1144 for 19250 pts total Amazingly I only fell 40 spots to be ranked 85 . It must be very tight around that spot now
He is a sell option for those needing the funds, particularly with the Sharks injuries, but otherwise is an ok backup ctw. He should be treated like any other backup centre but and be maybe played on match ups rather than in your top 4 choices.
Treat him as a 30-35 base player who might get some attacking stats on the right week and you wont get disappointed, treat him as someone you expect 50 in base and hope for attacking upside you likely will.
Has bottomed out so would be a good shout. Was originally going to Jazz -> Brown but sheesh

who to trade out first, need to fun 50k to go host to matto
Marsters- burns
too- burns
Nikora-burns
edit: cant afford staggs to burns and host to matto
any other options other than burns? around 380k or less
Panthers fairly good draw , scoring well atm , he was interviewed on Grandstand and came across as well focused and good guy willing to make sacrifices regarding his social life to pursue his career.. In summary good buy and if I owned him I would be holding for match ups at the very least
Got to agree with LotE here. I don’t see DCE outscoring Moses – draws, GKing, etc. all playing a part but Moses is just looking the goods in my opinion.

With only 6 trades left and wanting RTS-teddy next week only want to make 1 trade or none this week. Not much itb either so thinking of a slightly sideways trade of maumalo to ma’u. Looking at the run home and maumalo has a really tough draw and id probably only play him in rounds 18,19 and 21 even when they are not easy fixtures. My ctw is not that strong as I have Bateman, Mitchell as locks than atm rotate Maumalo, nikora, Staggs, To’o and xerri.
TU- Trade
TD hold there will be injuries
I find it hard to part with him, He had 35 in base in 54 min from a 90min game, He racked up close to 200m in that time, he could have hit 50in base that game.
this week against sharks, with a new look edge with Morris/Dugan/Moylan/SJ/Gal/Graham all in doubt and Katoa/Rinaldo in I will be playing him.
Eels and Raiders may be a little tougher, but then plays manly who allow most points to left wing,
No net unless I make a 2nd trade to free up cash. If I did 2 trades it would mean only having 3 for the last 6 rounds which I don’t think is enough. Could sell tapau instead and just play Hass Fifi every week but id only have a backup of pangai for frf.
So If I go Staggs>Jurbo this week leaves 19K ITB to try and go RTS>Teddy next week, could sell 1 of Tapow/AFB/Nikora/Surgess to fund it though. Good plan?
Actually thinking of playing Naden again this weekend against the dragons right edge, Croker scored 92 that side and If Kikau doesn’t have the runs again should present plenty of opportunities?
Nikora > Ma’u Leaves me 6 trades 13kITB and team of
Cook | Smith
Haas, Fifita | AFB FRF/2RF Nuff
Lolo, Jurbo, Matterson | Taupau, Murray, CTW/2RF Nuff
DCE | Cust
Ponga | SJ
Latrell, Bateman, Maumalo, Ma’u | Marsters, Gutho, Nuff
Turbo | RTS
only other thought I had was Cust > Moses but was 13k short
If I doubled up on Nikora/Cust outs
1) Ma’u & Pearce
2) Ma’u & Keary
3) Moses & Nuff
4) Moses & Burns
Team set for this week:
Cook – Mcinnes
Fifi/Hass – AFB/Surgess
Jurbo/Tevaga/Kikau – Lolo(R)/Tapow/Jcarty
Cleary – SJ
Ponga – CWalker(r)
Maumalo/Latrell/Bateman/Burns – Xerri/Nikora/Naden
Turbo – RTS(R)
Last reserve between:
Mcinnes/Xerri/Nikora/AFB/Tapow/SJ
Trades: Staggs>Jurbo
7 left
Cracking squad mate with so much depth!!
McInness or Kapow for last R for me
Thanks, only issue is getting teddy in via RTS with 17K ITB, would mean sell Naden
Incredible depth.
McInnes for me. Pod.
Souths injury updates
Surgess this week or next- sounds like next week more likely
Turgess and A Johnston both 2-3 weeks away
Would you go Murray to Wright if Cust becomes Ponga?
Yes Ponga is essential though POD Milf is starting to look good

Are these sideways?
Jazz -> klemmer
Nikora -> Mau
Current 2rf: Lolo Jurbo Matters Kikau Jazz Staggs
Current ctw: Bateman Nikora To’o Mitchell Burns Xerri Gutho
I’d trade another one of your CTWs to Klemmer if possible
Note – Jazz trade won’t be this week, but on the cards soon
I’d hold.
Bateman Latrell + 2 of Burns/too/Xerri is a fine ctw this week.
Maybe Nikora to Klemmer if you need the extra reserve.
RTS, Kikau, Jazz and AFB/Kapow as my reserves this week 🙂
Had trouble logging in yesterday, i finished with 1167 and dropped from 596 rank to 749 this week, Captained Hass was a good call but some very disappointing numbers from cust masters kikau Tko and Maumalo.
Haas has exceeded all expectations then doubled them. He’s immense. How good can this young fella get!
love watching the kid play.
Ranked in the 30,000 for the rnd with an 1144 for 19250 pts total Amazingly I only fell 40 spots to be ranked 85 . It must be very tight around that spot now
thoughts on nikora? keeper, sell?
Holding currently, but on my watchlist
He is a sell option for those needing the funds, particularly with the Sharks injuries, but otherwise is an ok backup ctw. He should be treated like any other backup centre but and be maybe played on match ups rather than in your top 4 choices.
Treat him as a 30-35 base player who might get some attacking stats on the right week and you wont get disappointed, treat him as someone you expect 50 in base and hope for attacking upside you likely will.
Any love for N.Brown?
Prefer Matters but short on cash
Wanting to trade Carty/twal for him
Has bottomed out so would be a good shout. Was originally going to Jazz -> Brown but sheesh
TU: Nikora >Ma’u
TD: RTS > Teddy (if not next week)
who to trade out first, need to fun 50k to go host to matto
Marsters- burns
too- burns
Nikora-burns
edit: cant afford staggs to burns and host to matto

Jump on the Staggs – Burns trade.
Does Naden interest you . About $350k
You think he is a keeper?
good to make some cash that i can afford one more trade to get someone in later if needed but last 2 rounds he has showed hes a keeper
Yeah I grabbed from his second game, and he looks to be finding form.
thats well done
Just looking back could be a play again this week, Croker did score 92 down that edge against dragons!
Panthers fairly good draw , scoring well atm , he was interviewed on Grandstand and came across as well focused and good guy willing to make sacrifices regarding his social life to pursue his career.. In summary good buy and if I owned him I would be holding for match ups at the very least
perfect im getting him, who should i sell for him?
nikora
marsters
too
looks pretty solid actually, thanks for the suggestion
I think Marsters is a definite sell since he has lost the goal kicking. So I like the Marsters to Burns trade, the $79K you make is just a bonus.
Thinking of doing this trades this week :
TKO – Bateman via Nikora
Staggs – Burns
Remaining: 137K
Cook, CS9
Fifi, Haas, TKO, Kerr
Lolo, Jurbo, Matto, Kikau, Jazz, JCarty
SJ, Hughes
Ponga, Munster
Bateman, Latrell, Maumalo, Nikora, Sivo, Xerri, Staggs
Turbo, RTS
Hughes > DCE is locked in but who to bring in for Sivo.
TU: Ma’u (leaves me with 60K)
TD: CNK (leaves with 140K)
Comment: Other suggestions
To be brutally honest you’ll have 0.01% chance of staying in the top 100 without Moses
Got to agree with LotE here. I don’t see DCE outscoring Moses – draws, GKing, etc. all playing a part but Moses is just looking the goods in my opinion.
200.3k itb
Cook McInnes
Haas Fifi Taupau Nuff
Lolo Matto Murray Jurbo TKO Staggs
Moses SJ
Ponga Brown
Latrell Bateman Gutho Too Burns Xerri Nikora
Turbo Teddy
Thinking Brown -> Calker this week?
Also is Taupau -> Klemmer a sound trade or a bit sideways?
Would rather use the Brown -> Calker money on Staggs -> Klemmer
Brodie Croft anyone? Would be quite the gauntlet with SJ and Croft in HFB but could be fun in what otherwise has been a coaster year.
Would be Brown -> Croft. Otherwise can get anyone bar the Prophet Moses
I like Hunt as a pod.
High ceiling and some nice matchups on the run home.
With only 6 trades left and wanting RTS-teddy next week only want to make 1 trade or none this week. Not much itb either so thinking of a slightly sideways trade of maumalo to ma’u.

My ctw is not that strong as I have Bateman, Mitchell as locks than atm rotate Maumalo, nikora, Staggs, To’o and xerri.
TU- Trade
TD hold there will be injuries
Maumalo still puts up against tough sides. But definitely see the appeal.
Cant shed money to go Nikora to Ma’u?
I find it hard to part with him, He had 35 in base in 54 min from a 90min game, He racked up close to 200m in that time, he could have hit 50in base that game.
this week against sharks, with a new look edge with Morris/Dugan/Moylan/SJ/Gal/Graham all in doubt and Katoa/Rinaldo in I will be playing him.
Eels and Raiders may be a little tougher, but then plays manly who allow most points to left wing,
Has been quite the revelation. I owe it to you TS for convincing me not to trade him out rd 12.
It was hard back in rd3-5 holding through his rough patch!
No net unless I make a 2nd trade to free up cash. If I did 2 trades it would mean only having 3 for the last 6 rounds which I don’t think is enough. Could sell tapau instead and just play Hass Fifi every week but id only have a backup of pangai for frf.

Actually thinking of playing Naden again this weekend against the dragons right edge, Croker scored 92 that side and If Kikau doesn’t have the runs again should present plenty of opportunities?
if u could pick one for the run home:
TU – Murray
TD – Klemmer
I am honestly expecting Murray to bounce back for the run home, he just has more upside to Klemmer
both
