Well done being right up there at 150th. Tricky decision. 2 are super trades… DCE & Cook in. I’m 480 spots back, have 3 trades and was weighing up the same 2 guys as trade ins. Baulking at being left with just 1 trade this far out though as I always have trade regret when caught out in last 2 rounds. Not sure you can justify nuffing Anderson? There will be injuries so nuffs will emerge. With a double trade though you would be looking at Talakai & Cleary to DCE & Cook which I don’t mind. Plenty running very… Read more »
Am worried about how long Tapine will be out for. I’m tempted to sell him for Tedesco but, if I do, he’ll be back next week. If I hold him, I still have a good 17, having left Haas and Angus on the pine last week.
So, Tapine to Tedesco?
TU: Take the punt and Teddy’s points by trading Taps out
TD: Hold Tapine and hope the big lug recovers fast
Here is what Bluegoose said: I treat rib fractures and rib cartilage injuries at work and learnt very early on that unless they are very minor they hurt a bloody lot (to even take a deep breath), they heal slowly (~5-6 weeks) and if injured again in the same spot then it is well worse again. It is hard to protect the injured rib too (especially playing prop) and having it needled can be a bit variable. Can’t seem him going gangbusters again for at least 3-4 weeks. He’s a maybe a hold for a week to see if down… Read more »
As a fellow Tapine owner, I think he’s a sell. It’s just a matter of when. Personally, I’m holding this round as I’m down to 2 trades. Other question to consider: is Teddy a must buy this week (playing Cowboys, BE 114, $818K)? Good luck!

Two trades remaining Thinking of trading Lolo to Lane. It looks like Lolo’s minutes will drop with a 4 forward bench this week & leading into to finals to keep him fresh.
Thoughts appreciated.
I agree but Lane been in the shadows and showed he could be the Dark Horse…. not saying he will but I do like the trade somewhat…. with Cotter Back…. always a worry on Paytons plan and Lolo’s Time
I can’t argue against Lane’s stats, but is he a gamechanger at this late stage? Much prefer Murray or even Fifita (Manly, Saints, Knights, NZ coming up).
I just don’t like him…. I prefer real effort players rather then Unicorn Kings haha

Anyone else in the same boat as me? CTW is looking weak. Who is the best for the run home? Currently have
Holmes, Garrick, Doueihi, tago, 3 nuff
Looking at trading tago out because I don’t think panthers will put many tries on shroud clearly luai
Who would you bring in if money wasn’t an issue? Not keen on manu because of the draw

Who would you play
Tu too
Dy tago
Tago (if Kikau playing), otherwise To’o.
It looks lik too is changing back to the left wing where he scores best. My head to head opponent has too and it worries me
That changes things, especially now that Kikau is looking likely.
2 double 0

If you’re low on trades, and can field a good 17 this week, I’d be tempted to hold.
Should have said: 3 trades left.
Getting low (still 4 rounds to play).

Tapine frees up cash with 3 trades left which means I can get 2 Guns and have 160k in the bank to do a last trade if needed

Two trades remaining Thinking of trading Lolo to Lane. It looks like Lolo’s minutes will drop with a 4 forward bench this week & leading into to finals to keep him fresh.
Thoughts appreciated.
With only 2 trades remaining, I think the trade is a little sideways.
I agree but Lane been in the shadows and showed he could be the Dark Horse…. not saying he will but I do like the trade somewhat…. with Cotter Back…. always a worry on Paytons plan and Lolo’s Time
Maybe I should have asked Can Lane keep his current form going
Must admit his base is strong, which is a good start.
I can’t argue against Lane’s stats, but is he a gamechanger at this late stage? Much prefer Murray or even Fifita (Manly, Saints, Knights, NZ coming up).
Give Fifita the ball 10m from the line…. weapon…. give it to him 50m from the line…. lost boy
He’s a risky selection, but still averaging 64. Has some soft opposition coming up.
I just don’t like him…. I prefer real effort players rather then Unicorn Kings haha

AReynolds? Bronx could destroy Knights
Kikau set to play
Last R
TU: Tago
TD: Lomax
I am going taps to ofahenguae and Cody walker to burton … thumps up or down ….
Which two score the most for the rest of the season from Lane, JoeO, D.Fifita and H.Young?
Probably Lane and Joe O, but Fifita is the smokey for me.

Slim pickings unfortunately. CGraham due back next week, but has a tough run.
Corey Oates/ Cobbo as Broncos play Newcastle. Montoya or Kiraz play each other. Saab or jojo Fifita even
ronaldo gonna go on a run
People been saying that for weeks now. Ain’t gonna happen
To be fair he’s just hitting his good matches now but he has been underwhelming
Who for last reserve?
TU: To’o
TD: Nofo
Comment: Lomax
Thanks
TU: Lomax
2 trades left need to use both to get munster( and a nuff) team has pretty good depth if a player goes down in either positions
TU do it
TD hold
Garrick or latrell?
Garrick
Final r?
TU: kikau
TD: mam (friendly match up)
Last 2 Rs
Cotter
Fifita
Lolo
Talakai
Dearden
TU if you agree with that ranking, reply if otherwise
fifi lolo

Wait till round 25 when they test players
