Wenin is one of the founding fathers of the NRLSCTalk website who's Tuesday Teams Analysis has been a feature post on the site for close to a decade. He also loves a good steak bet!
For info if anyone finds this relevant. I was at the airport today when the Manly team came in. Schuster is travelling to Brisbane, so could be a late in.
Or maybe he’s just going to support his team-mates? Magic Round is a great occasion – as a league fan, he’s gonna get loads of value for money (on his free ticket!). We shall see when final teams come out. .°
Grant – Randall
Haas, Lolo – Ming, Momo
Murray, Talakai, Ola – Tago, Tuilagi, Pia
Cleary – Taaffe
Munster – Ilias
Graham, May, Penisini, Suaali – Koula, Tass, Vailea
Papy – Hynes
Trades: Murray + Papy -> IPap + Turbo (92k). Only used 1 boost so far and feel this week is a good week to do so. I do want Garrick but can’t find a solution to get him.
TU: Stick to the 2 trades
TD: Boost (if so, any suggestions on what I can do)
Well you need to hold that boost, so here goes. Its a pretty balanced side as it stands, so:
Pap > Gun CTW (take your pick, theyre all good options long term)
Tuilagi > Ipap/Burbo (depends if you want more cash generation or points, either way you can get the other one next week)
If he is going to get the other one next week then I would suggest Burbo this week with a BE of -51. IPaps has a BE of 106 so could be cheaper next week.
thing to remember about the boosts. They count as trades from your total. So if you still got heaps but your overall total is low, be careful in terms of managing them. I see myself using them the week after origin 1 and 3 and then 1 or 2 at the end of season. But that means gotta hold 3-4 trades back from my total. We get 3 trades instead of two for r13 and 17 IIRC. so not sure need to boost for the actual byes if you got a team already filled with bye players. Mmm…. Of course… Read more »
First year with them so strategies are still being tested in real life. But mine is heavily dependent on if you’re H2H or overall. IMO if you’re H2H you should save almost all of them for finals and go hard there. If you’re Overall you save them for when 3 must have cheapies come along or 1 must have cheapie that allows for a double gun upgrade. I can see an argument for using a boost this week (if you haven’t used any or only used 1) to get Burbo if it allows you to also get in Ipap and… Read more »
Yep i checked the rules and you are correct, means we effectively get 7 super trade weeks, and here i was holding boosts for the byes for nothing. Participants can make up to 42 trades per season with a maximum of 2 trades in any given round except in rounds 13, and 17, when participants may make a maximum of 3 trades per round. In addition, participants may activate a “trade boost”, whereby they can make one additional trade in any given round, increasing the maximum trades for the selected round up to 3 (or 4, if activated in either… Read more »
bit unsure on my trades this week. Have 21900 ITB.
Team is
Grant, Cotter
Lolo, Haas, Ming, Momo
Talakai, Yeo, Koloamatangi, Tago, Tuilagi, Piakura
Cleary, Taafe
Munster, Illias
Coates, Staggs, May, Sualli, Tuipulotu Russell. Vaillea
Papa, Hynes
I am doing papa to Ipap, unsure on next trade. Bit unsure of coates and staggs (very up and down).
should I get rid of staggs for lomax who has been consistent without going big, or keep and go tuilagi to burbo?
Any help appreciated.
Based on opposition this week Amone
Or use a dart Tmm v Eagles has a chance

Last reserve out of:
taafe – battling a flu so could be out
tago – verse storm so unlikely of att stats
sualli – verse eels in the wet
ilias – vs warriors so chance of att stats
koula – vs broncos weaker left defensive side
My normal train of thought would agree but Rabbits have had a few decent games but still not clicking as we’d hope, losing Murray could hurt as well. Eyetest of Calker v Munster is valleys apart atm and I think even with Origin Munster probably out scores Cody
Hey Aman, I think they are 3 gun trades mate, I would be keeping DBrown he looks a beast this year. I would go CALKER out Munster in and iPap and Garrick are huge boosts to your side. People have mentioned munsters tough couple of games, but his history shows that he is a monster vs top sides. A scary thought as he has been killing it already, but don’t let the fixtures scare you away from him. He’s got spiders on him atm. I traded him in from luai 4 weeks ago and It turned my season around. Good… Read more »

Mainly H2H focused
Grant – Randall
Haas, Lolo – Ming, Momo
Murray, Talakai, Ola – Tago, Tuilagi, Pia
Cleary – Taaffe
Munster – Ilias
Graham, May, Penisini, Suaali – Koula, Tass, Vailea
Papy – Hynes

If you wanted Garrick you could bring in someone other than Turbo… Gutho / Meaney / Teddy?
Since you’re H2H, I think the more pressing trade is Papy > Garrick, just based on BE’s. Can look at Penisini > Turbo next week.
Trade advice needed please fellas.
Grant (Randall)
Haas, Lolo (M King, Momoisea)
Olakau’atu, Talakai, Aitken (Tuilagi, MacDonald, Luki)
Cleary (Taafe)
Munster (Ilias)
Coates, May, Tago, Suaalii (Tass, Koula, Vailea)
Hynes (Papi)
$164,600 ITB
24 trades left (1 boost)

Papi to IPap,bring Aitken to ctw. It will be very wet, can’t see too many huge scores this week, it will be a base stat weekend.
DCE, Garrick & Gutho. Which 2 do I trade into my side this week?
Current team
Grant Randall
Haas MKing JKing JTB
Talakai Tago IPap Tuilagi Rushton Geyer
Cleary Schneider
Munster Ilias
Coates Penis May Suaali Amone Vailea Tass
Hynes Papi
$254k ITB
I’d be looking at DCE for Schneider and Garrick for Papy
DCE and Garrick
TU: papen + tuilagi -> Garrick + papali
TD: use 4th boost
Papen + Tago + tuilagi -> turbo + papali + burbo
Cheers
Don’t waste a boost on a risky cheapie
Only considering if it was worth getting turbo in over papali
Ipap is a better buy than Turbo at this stage of the season IMO
Who should my last 2 reserves be out of; Randall, Ming, Tago, Taafe, TMM, Burbo?
TU: Randall & Ming
TD: Taafe & Tago
Comment: another combination.
Cheers
keep eye on souths team list – rumors of taffe out and nikorima to 1 – just some stuff floating around, far from confirmed
Cheers for the tip. With Burbo also moved to CTW I think i might just stick with Randall & Ming
Who to trade for a quick cash grab on Burbo?
TU: Tuilagi (rd13 bye + more cash itb)
TD: Vailea (plays rd13 + less cash itb)

Everyone should be saving a boost for R18

Do we still get a bonus trade for free in 13 and 17? i thought the boosts replaced those?
You have the opportunity to make 3 trades without boosting in rounds 13 and17

You can make 4 trades if you use a boost on a 3 trade week.
Boost concept has been a great addition this year

You could do Ilias to Burbo and Paps Turbo next week
last reserve out of paix tmm, amone, and vailea. there all pretty awful tbh haha
Based on opposition this week Amone
Or use a dart Tmm v Eagles has a chance
Last reserve out of:
taafe – battling a flu so could be out
tago – verse storm so unlikely of att stats
sualli – verse eels in the wet
ilias – vs warriors so chance of att stats
koula – vs broncos weaker left defensive side
Thoughts?
Storm and eels love the wet but broncs run slower in the wet. One of your backs for sure.
TU – Pap & Starling > Turbo & Cotter
TD – Pap & A Fifita > Turbo & Burbo
Whoever you bring in this week just make sure they can swim.
Garrick or Olakuatu this week?
G Up
O Down
Anyone got a good argument for going Meaney instead of Turbo? Trying to make my mind up on who to bring in
Other trade in is BSmith > Garrick
Just watch for late team changes for the Storm. There is a chance Wishart comes back into the starting side and pushes Meaney back to the wing.
TU olakauatuo and garrick
TD Manu and I Pap
for Papy and Tuilagi
Thoughts on this for a boost? Not having Munster is killing me.
CWalker -> Munster
Papy -> Garrick
Tuilagi -> Ipap
Could also take out DBrown instead of Cody, who would you sacrifice for Munster?
Don’t know if I’d get rid of Calker. Souths have a good run coming up.
burton with his run coming up a thought ? muster has a tough run too … and with out papy
My normal train of thought would agree but Rabbits have had a few decent games but still not clicking as we’d hope, losing Murray could hurt as well. Eyetest of Calker v Munster is valleys apart atm and I think even with Origin Munster probably out scores Cody

Thanks mate, yeah Munster is a big game player and without Papy could step up even more. Thanks for confirming my thoughts appreciate the response
Does anyone have the list of dual upgrades?
Talaki ctw
Garrick fb Brookes 5/8 Garner ctw
There may be more to come
What does everyone think about trading C.Graham and D.Brown in this week instead of a gun fullback? I would run with Hynes at FB.
Don’t mind it. Only downside is neither plays R13.
