What are people’s thoughts on Chee-Kam? Looks like he’s secured 80 mins, base of around 40+, likely to see attacking points at some stage, dual-position, priced at a 20 point avg. Am I missing something?

Last year. That was off the tigers bench though. I’m not super informed on his history. Before last year I didn’t play for like 5 years straight.

KBB

Host is due back next week and would push MCK back to bench or out of team I would imagine especially once Arrow also returns. Better cash grabs out there although I own MCK from rd1

SC_Sucker

Right, thought there must be something. Cheers!

Hey Everyone, I have BSmith and enough coin ITB to upgrade to Eg Mahoney. What are your thoughts on Josh Hodgson? At 385k do you see him as a viable option for now?

BustedCashews

Injury worry. But big min in a high scoring side, who knows? Personally I’m sticking clear. I didn’t thumbs down you btw. That’s someone else. Legit question.

moon the loon

that was me i think hodgson in a eels team have a tough schedule

BustedCashews

I’m not sure what’s a tough or easy schedule these days with dolphins beating roosters, Broncos beating Panthers at Penrith, bulldogs beating storm and everyone beating the tar out of tigers. I’m not sure about roosters. Surely they have to bounce back? But they certainly weren’t convincing against warriors in Sydney. Probably the only thing I’m kinda sure about is eagles look like they’re having fun watching everyone scramble. My poor Raiders are 0-2 but look pretty ok? I’m not sure of much right now.

Thumbs down doesn’t mean it’s not a legit question, it means those people think that Hodgson is not a viable option.

Boffa

If your looking way why not go all the way to Luke. Not plating this week but should build minutes up and would score as good as Hodgson with more upside.

chooks

I like it, at least he plays 80min

BustedCashews

V&C options interesting this week with eagles and eels Thursday night.

zpazzy

Im thinking vc or c turbo atm.

BustedCashews

If I bring in Garrick I can’t decide between him and Turbo. Garrick could be a POD play but I might miss the boat like I did Hopgoat last week. I think there will be a few with VC on Hopgoat. Either way I’ll get it wrong. ;^)

CoG

Forecast 35 during the day. 29-27 during game time . I’m hoping it improves a bit
Home at Manly so should be a little cooler

Butcher > Preston locked in. Cheese + Talau to?

TU: HTF + Mahoney
TD: Kiraz + Egan/Luke

JoeVF

Thinking of:

Cheese, Teddy, Pele out
Jerome Hughes (via Boyd), Walsh, Preston in

I like Hughes as a pod with Munster out everything will go through him, and as I already have katoa it’ll be a mini stack there. If katoa gets an lb/try then Hughes is most likely getting the assist.

Been hugely impressed by Broncos so far and Walsh looks a gun. Losing Teddy a gamble but they have a tough run plus the bye. Basically chasing upside.

Dazzling14

So looking for some assistance?

Looking at trading out

Option 1. Cheese, Talau & Teddy for Reed, Hammer & Kiraz ($168,600 ITB)
This option means I will have to play Boyd this week
Option 2. Cheese, Teddy & Boyd for Reed, Hammer & Hughes ($97,300 ITB)
This option is less money for the next trades.

I appreciate any help guys.

BustedCashews

Personally I don’t rate Hughes so option 1 purely because I’d never trade in Hughes. He burnt me last year.

Dazzling14

Thanks, Mate

Wooden Spooner

Thoughts on my last trade?

TU: To’o to Kiraz, free up $230k
TD: AKP to Hammer, leaves around $40k

Already have Garrick and Holmes as my gun CTWs

trentmark

Bringing in Kiraz keeps you with 3 gun/safe plays in CTW. And gives you the cash to get Hynes next week too

roaming_goat

Someone talk me out of Cleary + Teddy + Cheese > Mahoney Schu + Walsh.

In 2 minds about teddy, JWH back this week, added NBrown to their pack, I think post bye they could go well regardless of the hard schedule. JWH will add spirit to the pack and I think Roosters will lift, and Teddy will get more ball.

Although the trades will leave me $$$ next week to go Egan > Nicho

Not sure Nicho is an immediate buy coming back from an injury and potentially not goal kicking. Worth a look anyway

Chiefs luck

Am I the only one that thinks the cheese is a hold? The bloke is a weapon and things certainly have not gone his way but wouldn’t take much for him to turn it around! And in quick fashion. Smith for Egan just feels wrong to me!!!

Benchy Marshall

I understand your point but i just feel in the past, players with these rib/back injuries are always impacted in terms of their output.

dutchie1983

Yeah he has been good, but do you hold and lose money on someone like him or move him on and make some cash on better options and even can bring him back in later on for less?

luigi

i had a rib cartilage injury a few years ago just from overdoing it while preparing house for renovations,it was in much the same area as cheese appears to be tender,just above 1 kidney,it took a number of weeks to stop paining,i am a lot older than cheese but than kfoosie surely did get a good one in there

Y2Berts

I couldn’t work out how to edit my previous post so here goes again with some options.

Grant cheese
Tino Welch uto moale
Tapine carrigan kikau hopgood Williame blore
Walker Boyd
Ponga katoa
Addocarr Thompson warbrick rmsith akp turuva alamoti
Teddy miller

Have currently $375 itb

TU kikau Boyd Thompson to Preston trindall hammer for cash grab and creates $770k itb

TD kikau cheese to Preston Mahoney which leave $760itb

Comment kikau cheese Boyd to preston Mahoney Hughes leaving $420kitb

BustedCashews

Hynes may be back earlier than expected. Trindall could be a trap.

Benchy Marshall

Think i’m going double doggies this week. Cheese + Thompson > Mahoney + Kiraz (50.3k ITB) Grant – Mahoney* Welch, Uto – Keppie, Pele Murray, Hopgod, Katoa – Niukore*, Preston*, Doorey Katoa – Cleary Doueihi – Ponga Holmes, Kiraz, Alamoti, Warbrick – AKP, Too, Turuva Turbo – Teddy* Not keen on a Ponga >Schu downgrade before watching him play or any of the upgrade options for this week so happy to keep him there for the week. Think i’ll likely boost next week with the idea of upgrading him to Hynes if named and can reassess the likes of Teddy… Read more »

BustedCashews

I like waiting on the ponga trade. He’s not gonna lose money and your target isn’t going to make money. If you’re not gonna keep to’o I’d consider moving him on. Panthers aren’t knocking down any doors attacking wise. Hammer is a big trade in target this week. At his projected score of 46 he’ll make $96k. I think 46 against knights is very achievable.

I’m doing the same with keeping Ponga, but looking to move him to DCE or Hunt next week when S.Walker is on the bye

CoG

After very little analysis i’ve decided i’m going for cash .I’m here for a good time not a season
Outs Cheese Boyd Doorey
Ins -Egan Tricky Preston
I have Hammer and Isaako also, So with an ounce of luck the coffers will fill.
Luck to all and let’s hope there is a lot less setbacks for us and the players.

The Duke

No guts, no glory Coggy.

Ponga and Talau nets me Dohicky and a picked 200k Warrior. So it’s getting done.

Temple Guard

It may sound like you going for cash… but definitely points in that too 😉
Like it… and no crazy Trades either

CoG

I’m sitting Drinky for a week. Cant see any massive cows emerging- Manly Drags players might chuck up a couple + Walsh
I dont mind the trade. Passes the eye test and in a good team

Now that Ponga is out, Miller has less appeal even though he’s averaging 50. Have already traded Boyd to Preston and HSS to Hammer. Should my third be:
TU: – Miller to Kiraz; or
TD: – B Smith to Egan (or Mahoney)?

jezcarr

Who should be my last 2 reserves

TU Egan butcher

Never walk alone

Preston

Boffa

Preston

nugget

Out bsmith talau and moale
In Egan hammer and Shaw

Worth a boost?

Never walk alone

If Shaw is Shaq, probably not

nugget

Yep Shaq sorry
Keep moale. Probably not worth it with tatola back

Ed

Any love for Shaun Johnson? I’m undecided between SJ and Mam. SJ has a better break even but i have suffered in the past bringing SJ into my team

Never walk alone

No

nrl

Thoughts on cheese to Mahoney/Egan for the price rises and then to grant?
TU yes not a bad option
TD straight to grant

Irbox

TU: E.Katoa (BE -28, 411k, nailed for 80 on Melbourne edge)

TD: Preston (BE -51, $200k, won’t score as well in my 17 and cash generation probably the same)

Boffa

I’m pretty sure preston will score similar to katoa for 200k less

Irbox

I doubt he has the same output mate

Boffa

I thinkbit will be closer than you think. I’d have katoa ahead for points but preston for cash.

nugget

How to bring in Preston with a 2nd row of
Murray Egan butcher hopgood doorey ford katoa

Boffa

Shame you can’t wait a week and see what the return of a few at Parramatta and the warriors means for them both.

Based on that, not sure it’s worth it.

3mf

I’m ditching ford. Hes in the HIA vortex now and Barnett’s took his edge (will he get it back?) Preston will score more and make more$.

Cohesive Unit

I don’t have similar players but from what I’ve read you could depart with ebutcher, doorey or ford. None scream trade out but probably doorey if it was me.

titlover

I ditched butcher
