Lockout over moved up to 1200 OA only have 10 players playing this week but only have 18 trades. Don’t know if should conserve them for the other bye round and rest of the reason

Magic number this week has increased from 8070 to 8160.
To calculate a breakeven, use the following formula
Breakeven = ( ( Players current salary / Magic number ) x 3 ) – last two scores
Hopefully Uto gets a run this weekend with Offa in origin camp!

Hey guys, don’t you love holding klemmer for the last 5 weeks solely for rnd 13 and then he does that…
Anyway who you think is the better replacement?
TU – BSmith

does angus’s second game ban count origin or does it mean he cant play 14?
I’m toying with it and I can make an argument for teddy as I consider turbo papy to be the end game. Teddy has done well against bad opposition but has some tough games coming up. Could go teddy to gutho and in a few weeks gutho to papy
Turbo is the cash play and more likely to miss more games but you will definately want him back as soon as you can.

Cleary more likely to not play rnd 14 than Turbo given Panthers undefeated?
There’s been some ballsy trades this year that have paid off:
Tedesco OUT
Hynes IN at sub $300k
Is Cleary > Hunt the next trade on this list???
not sure if I’ve got the cajones to find out… do you keep bunt for the year then as either backup hfb or hkr?? Trades are running out and I think there’s better options out there in those positions than Ben Hunt whom is playing in one of the worst sides
Hunt plays teams ranked 15,16 and 14 in the next 3 weeks. Hes a great dual freeing up options for Brailey, Lawnton + ditching Simpkin over the next few weeks.
Between rest and less minutes, theres a good chance you can pick up Cleary at ~800K in round 19.
Decided to go Turbo > Gutho & DCE > Bunt which gives me 310K in the bank and 14 for Rd 13. Downside – only 13 trades left. Happy to hold trades with 12 but appreciate any advice.
The only reason milford got picked last week is because there was literally no one else to pick from. He goes straight back to cup for the rest of the season.

Question on VC loop during the bye. Can you use any bye/origin player as a C or will all bye players be locked out at beginning of the round?
Any chance papy plays this week?

Magic number this week has increased from 8070 to 8160.
To calculate a breakeven, use the following formula
Breakeven = ( ( Players current salary / Magic number ) x 3 ) – last two scores
eg Nathan Cleary = ( ( 1079700 / 8160 ) x 3 ) – 190 – 54 = 153
Cheers
Looking at it the few guys I don’t own that could hurt me this week… probably Isaako, Burton and Gutho.
Gee I’m already thinking Olam or Kelly could be my first CTW out come R14. Olam’s last 2 weeks (in a winning side)… terrible!!!
Kelly for me while Fifita is in the side
Can empathise re. Olam (my other recent recuit Ikuvalu has been horrible too).
1196 dropped me 136 spots to 521. Always big movements in bye week. Hopefully tread water and then hit the ground running in R14…
From Pete Badel:
*Mahoney named in 19, will only play if Ponga isn’t fit
*Grant at 9, Brimson at 14.
Hopefully Mahoney gets released to play for Parra, he would have to be named tomorrow if that was the case
Any idea how long schuster is out for?
1-3 weeks as of today.
Hopefully Uto gets a run this weekend with Offa in origin camp!

Origin will count as his 2nd game – will be available rnd 14.
who is a better sell for Gutho this week?
TU – Turbo
TD – Teddy
I’m toying with it and I can make an argument for teddy as I consider turbo papy to be the end game. Teddy has done well against bad opposition but has some tough games coming up. Could go teddy to gutho and in a few weeks gutho to papy
Turbo is the cash play and more likely to miss more games but you will definately want him back as soon as you can.

Two ways it’ll go.
TU: Will chase Dally M points against Sharks
TD: Burton will steer the side
1379 jumped me from 816 to 302
What are the chances both Riki and Niu get named tomorrow? Will get 17 on the park after trades if they are.
Not liking my chances though
Riki could get TC Robati’s bench spot from last week, Glenn will be starting.
Niu has no chance.
Turbo to Gutho
Saab to Papalii via Burbo?
How many players does everyone have this week? I got 10 or 12 if I do 2 trades. Actually did bye plan but I feel like I might be abit short
16 which now is unbelivable this does include leniu
16 if Uto gets named. 16 sounds great but when it includes Leniu and Uto they could easily put up a combined 40.
14 if UTO plays
14 with Uto. Any more than that I feel you put yourself to short for rd 17
Cheers guys well done on getting the numbers
Is Palasia a buy for this round to generate cash and an extra player or is he a trap?
I might be wrong but I feel saving trades is more important (for me) right now. so I will hold off.
It’s probably the only way I can get an extra number for RD13 and generate enough cash for Cody and Taupau next week.
Thinking about going burbo to palasia as I think burbo is going to be an auto nightmare?
Palasia could be an auto nightmare when Broncos are full strength
Glenn and Riki are both back this week.
Cleary -> Ben Hunt
Not for a faint of heart. Ripper trade though 🙂

Good luck to you if you go for it
Yeah I’m thinking ill do it.
Hunt plays teams ranked 15,16 and 14 in the next 3 weeks. Hes a great dual freeing up options for Brailey, Lawnton + ditching Simpkin over the next few weeks.
Between rest and less minutes, theres a good chance you can pick up Cleary at ~800K in round 19.
I had a similar thought process trading in Jack Bird a couple of weeks ago. Great draw, DPP and another R13 player…
Long story short – don’t expect too much from your “attacking” dragons players
Remaining: 31K
Brailey, Watson
JFH, TPJ, Welch, Leniu
Gus, Tofu, Matto, Tino, Kikau, Curran
Cleary, DCE
Burton, Schuster
Capewell, Sivo, Laurie, Staines, Musgrove, Anderson
Turbo, Teddy
Decided to go Turbo > Gutho & DCE > Bunt which gives me 310K in the bank and 14 for Rd 13. Downside – only 13 trades left. Happy to hold trades with 12 but appreciate any advice.
Hold trades. 13 is getting low
Sweet as
Geez 13 mate I’d be sweating balls if I was you # respect
13 is where the majority of the game is going to be at. That means you havent saved a trade.
Will Gamble make it back in the side for a big score of 20 odd?
TU: Yes
TD: No

Question on VC loop during the bye. Can you use any bye/origin player as a C or will all bye players be locked out at beginning of the round?
yes you can bye players lock out at the start of last game
This has been the case historically.
