Boffa

Up – Egan and e.katoa
Down – S. Luke and Tohu

Dropping Smith and Egan butcher

For team context I have Grant and 2nd row of Murray, fifita, hopgood, preston and Schuster.

polarbear

TU-Hetherington
TD-Preston

tomacles

Gosh not even close here. TD, even with Hetho in a depleted Knights Preston is the clear choice.

CSI

Which one should I leave out
Need to play 4 Rs
Mahoney. T Harris. S Walker. E Katoa. Teddy

Boffa

Katoa and if your bringing mahoney in this week but considering not playing him don’t bring him in

S walker for me

The Pretender

Wish I had that problem.

BT

If you own Teddy you play Teddy, right?

SWalker probably has the toughest matchup out of the others

Never walk alone

Judging this list, you should be leaving out one of your starting 13

jblaze

Not sure if trolling lol

Cohesive Unit

Bsmith, CNK > Egan, HTB +214.8k
Bsmith, AKP > Mahoney, HTB +11.9k

MenziesBeaver

I like the Mahoney trade better but if the trade is more focused on money generation the Egan trade will generate cash faster.

HC92

Hi guys
Would appreciate thoughts
TU: JBraily, Cheese & Ebutcher out for Grant Mahoney & Preston
TD: JBrailey Talau & BMM out for Mahoney, Hammer & Preston
I think TU is the obvious choice but more dosh to be made via option 2.
Cheers!

FatBoy94

Trade out for HTF

TU: CNK
TD: I Thompson

tomacles

Why are we trading HTF?

pulprawk

With nicho still out torn on whether to go the cash cow trindall hoping nicho stays out till after sharks bye or go with the points and broncos really good draw and go with Mam

Tu: trindall
Td: mam

HC92

If you get trindall and next week Hynes is back you become stuck with him despite nice breakeven. Also, sharks have a bye in round 6 I believe so either way you’re better off with Mam imo and riding the broncos form and good draw!

pulprawk

That was my initial thoughts thanks for reaffirming them. Wish we had some sort of timeframe on Nicho

Karma Keg

Have to agree with HC92. I want to get Trindall, but in reality, you probably only get one price rise and then are either stuck with an NPR in your haves, or Trindall gets the bench spot and bangs out sub-10-point games for a few weeks, and you lose all the money he makes.

Chantman

Mam makes sense, but I am trading in Trindall (Boyd out) for the cash even if only 1 week, then will trade to Schuster (via Katoa) before any loss of money occurs. Just a different thought.

Boomer

This is what I’m looking at. No guarantee nicho isback next week abs what if the calf goes again… can sit and wait a week. Trindall may not go to 14. So many variabled

titlover

Nicho said he would be back next week I thought? He was running this weekend and wanted to play this round coming up but they’re giving him an extra week to be sure

trentmark

Pass on Mam for me, can’t see the appeal, would rather Schuster

Albert

Think i’m going to lock in Teddy, Boyd and Moale to Walsh, Mahoney and Cartwright. Would leave me with the below team and 191k ITB. Would appreciate any feedback/thoughts?

Mahoney / Smith
Tino Welch / Uto Keppie
Carrigan Hopgood EButcher / Sutton Preston Cartwright
Walker / Cleary
Brown / Katoa
Holmes Farnworth Thompson Alamoti / Turuva Khan Warbrick
Turbo / Walsh

The Pretender

I wouldnt think Carty was a must buy. Eels rotation with Matto back looks likely to have Carty on the pine.

Albert

Definitely not a must buy but I can’t see Moale making much money now with Tatola and Sele back. Carty could make close to 100k in 2 weeks even if he is on the bench next week.

The Pretender

Yes, but you would be better off going Moale > Schuster in 2 weeks.

Personally I would be looking at trading one of Cleary/BSmith/Thompson this week instead of Moale. Otherwise, who do you turn into Schuster?

Albert

The plan would be to bring Schuster in for Carty in 2 weeks. Obviously using an extra trade but I should make around 100k out of it.

3mf

Then what would the 100k get you.? Save the trade imo

The Pretender

You can make the 100k elsewhere on a more pressing trade (say, Smith out) and go Moale to Schuster.

HC92

Hey all
Not trade related but just wondering … anyone thinking straight C on Tommy T this Thursday night?

Never walk alone

Not with Cleary easily interchangeable

Sonnysideup

?

CoG

VC with Cleary stand in C

AJW

Yeah if Turbo goes ballistic this week, then Nathan could have the largest percentage of captaincy! Hahaha – the beauties of the byes!

CoG

If you want Turbo pts and own Pele Khan types i’d consider it.
There’s risk attached like early rest for Turbo or if he duds it you dont get a second option

trentmark

He is the best SC player of all time, makes sense

CheekyJacko

Any love for Reece Robson with cowboys upcoming draw and the POD appeal too reed mahoney?

tomacles

I’m running Robson / Mahoney as my hookers.

corsola

Trading Ponga out for one of the following two:

TU – Ben Hunt
TD – Ezra Mam

Harold99

Gotta go Mam for that draw

The Pretender

Dragons draw is good too, but I agree Ezra is the play.

Euman

Hi all which one for my final reserve spot this week

TU – Schuster at No 6 (versus Parra)
TD – P. Saulo at No 8 (versus Sharks)

Thanks in advance

BillyBeane

Am I missing something or is everyone sleeping on Nicholls?
On the bench but played 48 and 50 min already, also off the bench. For 83 and 57 points. Keeper scores!
BE -34
Is the orange dot just scaring everyone off!

gippyflipo

His minutes are inflated due to Wallace HIA in rd1 and then Lemuelu HIA rd2. I would expect 40mins going forward.

BillyBeane

Ah that’s helpful, I missed the HIAs. Was between Keppie > Nicholls or Butcher > Katoa so I think that makes the choice easier, thanks!

HC92

He’s a good option but i just feel ppl have much more problems in the hooker, halves, fullback & backrow spots to fill at the moment rather than FRF.

pulprawk

Yep trading pele for him this week

DCE2011

Forward cheapie Viliami Fifita (2RF/FRF) may get a run sooner than expected.

MARKET WATCH: St George Illawarra have received a massive boost, with two of Manly’s most promising young forwards released to join the Dragons with immediate effect.

PS – was hoping VFifita stayed with Manly. The other forward is Alec Tuitavake.

Sonnysideup

Nice. I’ve got vFifi parked at FRF4. Thought he looked good in the trials

MenziesBeaver

Afternoon everyone. I have a conundrum. I have NAS in FRF #1 that absolutely needs to go and I’m pretty sure I want to get rid of the cheese. I want to do NAS to Tohu (I want his consistency) and Cheese to Reed (but would consider Egan). My problem is I have next to no money ITB so need my third trade to generate the cash. Am i crazy in going Teddy to a Kiraz/Walsh or even Hammer? I don’t see any other way of doing it and i don’t really like the Cleary to Trindle downgrade or Cam… Read more »

Karma Keg

Hard to say without your entire team. The problem with the Teddy to Walsh/Hammer trade is you’re getting rid of a keeper for a non-keeper. So it will be two trades. I can see an argument that Kiraz is a keeper in CTW, so at least moving to him, it’s a keeper for a keeper. Who do you have in 2RF if you have EButcher, you could drop him down to Preston/Ford/BMM, which might get you the money you’re after. If you’re short on Mahoney, I’d have no issue going Egan for the cash, then upgrade him to Mahoney/Cook or… Read more »

MenziesBeaver

Thanks KK, no i dont have Ebutch to downgrade. I have Dfif, Murray, Hopggod, Ekatoa, doorey, preston. I think im leaning to Kiraz for Teddy. Means i get the two targets i want in Tohu and Reed and yeah as you said im selling a keeper to a possible keeper in Kiraz. At the worst he makes money for a couple of weeks and then can be sold. at best he makes the money while averaging 60+ and maybe turns into a keeper. It does leave me week in the fullback spot for a couple of weeks though as i… Read more »

The Duke

The definition of irritating.

LOTE

Boost?

The Duke

Yes. Traded out Talau and got the one time wonder fullback from the Warriors. Even if he’s a thorn, he’s in the fullback reserve spot as I have Tommy Turbo.

LOTE

Definitely don’t do that! He has no job security

Sonnysideup

Surely there is a better way?

The First XIII

Does Tom Chester get you there? At least he should play 3 games while Drinkwater is out while Tuaupiki is likely only in for 1 game while CNK sits a game with HiA protocols.

The Duke

If I could like that more than once I would. I can get there with Chester and have 65k ITB afterward, thank you First 13.

tomacles

B Smith > Mahoney TU.
Robson > Mahoney TD.

Thanks chaps and chapettes.

SD23

Better long term option:

TU- To’o
TD- Kiraz

Boffa

seriously? we’re comparing kiraz who sits outside flanagan, preston and averillio with To’o after 1 big week?

Sonnysideup

Not inconceivable. Apart from his crazy year under Vlandy ball in 2021 To’o has been a mid to high 50’s avg player. Kiraz first season last year in a shite team averaged 53. Could be a breakout year. You never know.
Those who get in sync with this year the quickest will be at an advantage. Last year To’o, playing on that right wing was 19th by avg for wingers. 16th if you take out those who played 10 games or less.

Boffa

yeh, just a bit too early for me. Dogs will surely favour the burton, kikau, alomoti, JAC edge in attack. Also, oppositions will kick down to Kiraz if they’re smart, taking him out of that first hit up and giving it to the far less powerful JAC. All likely to impact output

Sat05

who should i trade OUT for preston from:

  • egan butcher
  • williame
  • doorey
CoG

Williame to Preston may be the best trade this season.
Depends on how you value dpp but with the new concussion rules, playable depth will be handy. Do it.

ty brother

tomacles

Wiliame is the sure fire trade.

tainejai99

Need serious help! Probably my lowest ever score last week blown out to 60k and really not sure where my most urgent trade is (probably KP) – suggestions much appreciated. Took the risk on carrying Hynes so I wouldn’t have to trade later in the season

Grant BSmith
Utoikamanu Tapine Pele Moale
Fifita Murray Hopgoat Doorey Schuster Ford
Cleary Hynes
Katoa Ponga
Holmes CNK Turuva Warbrick Thompson Alamoti Khan-Pereira
Teddy Turbo

Karma Keg

Lots of options, but I would go:
BSmith > Mahoney/Egan
Cleary > Douhi and move Kato to HB
Then if the money allows Thompson > Kiraz

Or you could do BSmith > Mahoney/Egan
Ponga > Mam
Cleary > Douhi

Just be warned, I’ve heard a rumour Douhi could be injured.

CoG

I’d go Shuster to Preston Via Ponga, Then Cleary to Katoa bring in Mam. Then do the Hkr trade or Cnk trade to a cashie. The more i look at it the more my head spins.
If you are super keen on Hynes you could punt on the Trindall option

tainejai99

yeah this was what I was looking towards. Gonna have to move on one of my HFB either way

tomacles

Those FRFs need some attention too though.

tainejai99

Yeah the whole thing does so many regrets.
