Nothing to say here other than “whoops can I reverse” …

weebs

100%

ch00nz

if talakai plays origin I’ll go talakai and Munster to papy and nuff. if he doesn’t… not sure lol, maybe McInnes

McInnes mins too worrying but as overall I would back it. Mind you I can’t see Talakai staying in side with Wighton back which will lead to bench rotation.

ch00nz

sorry I should’ve clarified, trading McInnes out, def not buying, he’s time is up. need to trade a non keeper + Munster to get papy. mam not ripe enough yet. talakai, McInnes and Crichton all on chopping block. tago was but can’t trade him after that performance

h2h mostly. I figure papy will outscore McInnes so if that is my best way to get papy in, may as well do it now. but Crichton might be the way to go now, altho leaves my 2rf thin

Sheldon

Koroisau – Cotter
PAPALI’I – ARROW – Ming – Tapine
TALAKIA – Vikau – Crichton – Taumalolo -Tago – Burbo
HYNES – Cleary
MAN – Drinkwater
MULITILO – LOMAX – PENISINI – ANDERSEN – May – To’o – Kiraz
KENNEDY – Manu

Kiraz – Papenhuyzen
Ming/Arrow – Matterson

It’ll be hard not to have a hooker but I can’t find any value to round 19. When I might be able to swap api and Cotter to cook and grant and make a buck.

Sheldon

Looking at nqc run it’s one of the easiest. I think they’ll ease him back into it and he’ll get back to his normal mins week 24/25.

Grants the big watch for me, looks busted. Hoping he gets back into week 19 but I think Cheese will play 40 at hooker from now till finals.

LateRingIn

Time to rip my team apart to get Papenhuyzen.

trentmark

For 70 mins he was so far off the pace too. I was almost thinking he was a pass next week until he finds some rhythm. Manly can really get some players into form with the back end of their games

Keyser Soze

Ok have at it, H2H only 2nd FB to accompany papy for the finals

TU: latrell
TD: teddy

jnrglover

I think Latrell’s goal kicking is a big bonus. The fact he plays 17-18 is also a big tick.

Tough draw home, so maybe not a play every week.

But I like Latrell and will jump on this week too.

Sheldon

Latrell.

jshep99

Who do we see as a good backup hooker to buy for the run home? Currently have grant and mcinnes but mcinnes just isn’t doing it for me anymore

jnrglover

Keep McInnes for this round and look to move him to Cook post 18

jshep99

You feel cook even with their draw home? Plus is rabbits have locked in a top 8 spot by round 25 do you think they might rest him

jnrglover

Yeah. He has a good base by making a lot of tackles and has attacking upside. He has been awesome the last 8 weeks. He is averaging 74 for the year.

The only other guy who looks like he can put up similar numbers is Robson who has a 3/5RA of 75/73.

jnrglover

Any bye round nuffs a chance of playing this weekend?

Garlick or howarth seem too far off at the Storm.
What about at the Broncoes where Haas, Capewell and Carrigan are all playing Origin. Who do we see filling in?

kegs kings

We all need 1 this week fingers crossed

uncledami

I hope my too early Wishart purchase provides a starting 5/8 this week. Not base price though….
TPeoples could be a chance for a call up.. Hogarth been named in squad a few times. Could get lucky this week with Anderson surely missing out

Temple Guard

Unless I purchased them for been Nuffies…. I wouldn’t bother as they will be the possible AE Nightmare we all been trying to get rid off in the first place…. Quality for me not quantity

SkiddMarx

Not holding my breath, but I’ve had Piakura since the start of the year! Fingers crossed

hutupiki

I think he had a head knock in Qld Cup unfortunately.

Afro Monkey

What is going on with Tapine & Elliot at the raiders, both looking like potential Keepers for the run home.

JS1999

Agree mate, #boostedforelliott and paid off bigtime, keen to get my mits on Tapine

vertigo

Not sustainable.

Afro Monkey

That’s what I thought originally and why I didn’t jump on either. Look at their last 5 they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Especially with this week off due to the bye can see them continuing on for rest of the season.

JS1999

Dear Drinky,
You are just too loveable to say goodbye to. You’re not the problem, it’s me. I can’t stand the temptation of a big GI clone and that darn blonde flowing mullet. I hope you understand and if the time is right a year or two down the road we could meet again.
Bidding farewell dear Drinky,
Signed with tears, truly

Sheldon

Have you seen NQC run home?

vertigo

He was always a bridge back to Papenhuyzen.

Sally M

Magic number this week has increased from 8498 to 8821 making breakevens easier to attain.

To calculate a BE use the following formula

Breakeven = ( ( Players Salary / Magic Niumber) x 3 ) – last two scores

eg Papenhuyzen = ((931100/8821)x3)-76-135 = 106

Had the Magic number stayed the same as the week before, Papenhuyzen’s BE would be 118

ch00nz

i can go munster + mam -> papy / nuff. obviously trading mam isnt ideal this round, but TMM shit the bed so cant use him in the trade. Only other option is to trade the likes of angus / tago / talakai which im not too keen on just yet as ill prob keep tago, play talakai this week before upgrading, and well… maybe crichton could go as id most likely upgrade him to murray soon anyway? full team Grant / McInnes IPap Lolo / King Pole Angus Ola Kikau / Talakai Tago MacDonald Cleary / Mam Brown /… Read more »

The Pretender

I would say Angus. You will likely add Murray and/or Dfif into that 2RF yet so I think its a good time to go that way.

ch00nz

yeh im sold on that idea. cheers! ill get garlick in this week as nuff so can go mcinnes to murray next week

R.Cotter Cheese

What to do with Koula?
I keep planning to trade him out, but he keeps making money.

TU – Koula – Matto
TD – TMM – any sub 600K player (can get any position via duels)
Thinking Latrell or Moses or Lomax or Klemmer

Other trades are Kiraz & Kikau – Paps & Peoples

Current team is

Grant – McInnes
Papalii/Lolo – Ming/Momo
Yeo/Crichton/Olak – Kikau/Burbo/S.Harris
Cleary – Mam
Brown – TMM
Graham/Talakai/Mulitalo/Garrick – May/Kiraz/Tass
Hynes – Koula

Cheers

ch00nz

id sell kiraz. you have a solid 5 CTW already so cant see you ever playing him + doesnt play this week

R.Cotter Cheese

Definatly, Trading Kiraz already to get Paps though

ch00nz

oh damn sorry missed that in your post. id sell koula then for same reason as you are selling kiraz. hes surplus to your needs and doesnt play this week, but then depends if you are h2h or overall. could hold on h2h or if you are going to win comfortably and move TMM instead since he will lose money

R.Cotter Cheese

Yea god plan. Ill wait till Friday night to see how my H2H matchup looks, and go from there
Cheers

HC92

Gday all
Over the last 4/5 weeks ive been slumping. Was in top 300 now sitting in 1300.
Any thoughts/suggestions as to what my team desperately needs for a strong run home would be appreciated.

Koro/Cotter
Haas/iPap/Klem/Ming
Angus/Lolo/Tago/Talaki/Tapine/Nuff
Cleary/Illias
Munster/Mam
Graham/2to/May/Penis/Kiraz/Anderson/Ramien
Garrick/Hynes

I have 12 trades left
255K ITB
Will be getting Paps in this week via kiras & someone else
Cheers!

jnrglover

Can you do Gus, Ilias and Kiraz to Latrell and Pap (via Hynes and Garrick)?

HC92

Only if I boost this week. Spewing

trentmark

You are stacked in the FRF, you are in the position that you may as well trade Haas.
Ilias, even though playing, brings in Paps too

Benny's Jets

few good options this week but am very keen on grabbing Paps and Latrell, which would require me to trade out Munster. is that worth it or am i better off grabbing someone like Joe O? 6k ITB

Cook (Robson)
Klemmer, Pole (Lolo, King)
IPap, Matterson, Talakai (Olak, Fermor, Lolo)
Mam (Cleary)
Brown (Munster)
Graham, Mulitalo, Tass, Anderson (To’o, May, Kiraz)
Hynes (Koula)

ch00nz

u run the risk of getting massively left behind without papy. gotta get him in

Benny's Jets

definitely getting Papy, it’s just whether i grab Latrell as well

Kane

TU – Klemmer
TD – Lomax

Sheldon

To bring in or captain?

I’d go Edrick Lee.

Kane

Haha to bring in 🙂

Sheldon

I can’t wait to bin Lomax in all honesty. If you’ve got trades Lee. If not Klemmer.

Kane

Ah ok I havent watched much of dragons this year. As you can tell I am limited on funds because of Papy hence the average options haha. Would love to go for an actual gun. Yeah I will only have 11 after this round. Think that is too little

ch00nz

ofahengaue?

Kane

About 10K short. Might try sell someone else to create funds.

Currently selling MKing, Tago, Kiraz and TMM.

But could sell Angus or Kikau to create more funds

ch00nz

sell angus imo. i am, after some advice earlier on this page. scores have been bad, high BE and most likely isnt in your final team anyway

Last edited 1 year ago by ch00nz
trentmark

Neither player I am excited to watch play. Surely other options

Sheldon

Papi goes up in price!

I see Hynes is due to play for Cronulla.

zenguru8

Was thinking of trading out Calker but now Trell is back and not putting his hand up for SOO…..so Calker might go on a run.

Kane

I would hold Walker for the bye round but I think after that he is a sell. I would rather own Munster, DBrown and Drinkwater over him.

I do agree though he will start to pick up now that Latrell is back

weebs

Munster, Kiraz, Ming OUT
Papz, Nuff, Joe O/Klemmer IN

Thoughts?
And who out of
TU JoeO
TD Klemmer

Can’t afford Matto this week

trentmark

With Pangai out for a while, I see Ming as a play, or at least a great backup in the FRF. I would rather get Pole if named, and get 40 out of him, and use the 400k saved elsewhere

Kane

Who is a bigger sell at 2RF?

TU – Angus
TD – Tago

trentmark

Luxury, but probably Gus. Tago can score as good as any CTW

hasbeens

Pole actually put in a decent effort in his debut for Tigers. Looking at downgrades and numbers, how is his job security? One off performance or likely AE issue?

ch00nz

i got him too and was worried about AE issue, but he busted out 44 on debut so if he can even avg high 30’s to low 40s hes not the worst AE . he looked good and afaik tigers dont have anyone to come back (assuming twal is out for the year).

jnrglover

Tamou to come back but you would imagine that he would take Dias spot. Dias played 17 mins.

The concern is that Tamou comes back and played the 40 mins that Pole played and Pole plays the 17 mins that Dias played…

I think he is an avoid with a lack of duals and potential to be an AE issue

ch00nz

oh damn, forgot about tamou. how long is he out for ?

jnrglover

I think he got COVID. Prob back this week

trentmark

44 mins on debut, big motor, 34 tackles only 1 miss. He will get good minutes for the run home if they are looking to the future.
He comes in for my team this week for Arrow.
