Finished off with 1,116 (pre downdates) so hopefully not too much of a slide from 21st. Plans to bring in Lolo and Cleary this week are out the window, need to replace Turbo and Twal!
Tossing up between Ponga/Latrell for FLB and Fotuaika/Klemmer for FRF anyone looking at someone else?
FRF I really like Fotu, cheaper than Klemmer and pumping out great base stats. I’d definitely go Ponga over Latrell. I own Latrell and he’s been great for my. CTW but Ponga could go huge any week and you’d be left behind. Plus Latrell won’t play titans and warriors every week.
With Turbo gone I was looking to bring in Teddy, but I see he’s under a cloud for this week? Bringing him in would also ruin my forward upgrade plans. Keep getting killed by Katoa and JTB.
Thinking may be best to trade Turbo to HTF/Coates, bring Latrell down to FLB to partner Ponga and still be able to bring some stability to my forwards.
Yeah I was happy to have Turbo v Cronulla and hope he’d get close to Teddy.
Thinking Coates (v Titans) is a decent shout to come in and probably someone I can play in my 17 this week… really depends on what carnage TLT brings though.
sub 20 killed me in draft yesterday.. will be cheap soon. Cleary got 80 with minor attacking stats on the weekend so id be going there first, D Brown is the only pod worth looking at imo
No other option but to trade both and hope one of Katoa/Carrigan plays or I’m stuck with Rudolf.
Really regretting grabbing the Hammer early. Although he will make some cash he doesn’t look a reliable player for my 17 and Coates would have been great for the upcoming matchup. Looks like I’ll be missing out on him.
Yeah, Like I have said I am tempted to trade Teddy for a week If he is rested. and then bring back in via grabbing Coates next week.
Then would grab Cleary and one of Dsaf/Paulo/Fotu/Klem for FRF, but which one??
But atm, leaning towards Drink>Cleary and Fleg/Knight > Coates via Yeo to 2rf again.
Definitely would not be moving Teddy on. You could flick him and then have another 2 injuries next weekend and be struggling to get him back in and field a 17. Obviously Ponga/Teddy is the ideal combo but there’s certainly justification for having one of Drink/Latrell down there medium term while you work to the two guns. Even a ctw like Lomax/Kennedy/Best/Deouhi for the short term is fine. FRF will depend on BE’s and some analysis of minutes. I feel the crowd are going to head straight for Klemmer so might look elsewhere myself. Interesting thought to sell Drink now.… Read more »
I think turbo has to go first, straight swap to Ponga makes most sense. After that maybe Marsters or Kennedy to Coates to open up a bit of a war chest for upgrades next week?
Good thinking. You think my 2FR is ok? hearing katoa and maybe carrigan out

1,144 will hopefully bring me a back into the game a bit. Turned out to be a pretty sound move to bring in Ponga, but now am at a crossroads: Api / Grant Haas Twal / Rudolf Kerr Lolo Yeo Carrigan / Lucy Tapine Katoa GWill / Walters Munster / Drink Best Katoa Lomax HTF / Wiliame Watkins Averillo Ponga / Turbo If Teddy backs up: Turbo >> Teddy, Twal >> FRF gun If Teddy is out: a. Best/Lomax/HTF to fullback, Turbo >> Nofo b. Drink to fullback, Turbo >> Cleary Looking like Lomax is sell next week if I… Read more »
I was so close to bringing Averillo in last week and upset that I didn’t. He’s already the most exciting player on the team, although as a Dogs fan I have to concede that it is slim pickings these days!

Thoughts on TPJ? Looking at finally upgrading D Fifita and by bringing in TPJ (rather than paying premium for matterson, McInness etc.) I can easily afford guys like Cleary and Ponga the next couple of weeks. I think he should go well with their easier schedule, to me looks like he is about 80k underpriced
The problem with TPJ is that he is a chance to be suspended any given week.Would much rather pay the premium for players like Matto or Mcinness who rarely miss games due to injury or suspension.
I was pretty keen but if you (like me) are lacking depth he may not be the best option given hamstring and suspension history.
My bench is pretty thin (rudolf/luai are the best of the lot outside my 17) so i think i need to look elsewhere. Definately unders though and best on an edge, whether he stays there when fifi is back is another matter
Thanks for the feedback guys. My issue is I’m ranked quite poorly (40k) due to some bad trades and bad luck, feel like I need to roll the dice. As long as he survives the next 3 weeks (definitely a risk) I could see him averaging 70 and making 80k. Then when Fifita is back I could go back to him or easy upgrade to a Matterson type
If you are looking for a stop gap in 2rf until fifita is back, RFM at dogs is not a bad option. Playing 80mins, ave 60 (all in base) in past 3 weeks at 380k. Projected to make 100k+ in the next 3-4weeks. Doesnt have the upside of a Tpj, but almost half the price. Lets you upgrade elsewhere.
It said on broncos website D Fifita estimated rd 10-12. Rd 10 means he still misses 3 more weeks and rd 12 is 5 more weeks. I think it’s still too long to have 500k sitting on the pine
But you were happy to hold originally when we knew he was going to be out around 4-6 weeks? Should have been the first player sold super trade week at his price.
Probably yeah. But I had some other priority trade outs and trade ins. And he wasn’t going to lose money. And since then I’ve had problems cropping up everywhere. Not ideal but it’s where it’s at now
I was so set on Papy to Ponga but with other injuries/suspensions popping up I have no choice but to hold. Against warriors I’d expect a decent score (50 ish worst case) but who knows
Turbo to ponga should be locked in
Depending on cash itb you could do a few different trades
A ctw (Masters) to yeo
Wighton to Munster
Twal to a gun frf
Someone had said they were missing points for AFB? seen he went from 61 to 58 lol

Hey guys, I have spent big in certain areas (half and hooker) and need help picking my next two upgrades. Cook / CS9 Carrigan / Knight / Guler / Lisone Matto / Harris / Tapine / Sua / Tupouniua / Nuff Cleary / Moses Flanno / Luai Yeo / Garrick / Lomax / Best / HTF / Kennedy / Wiliame Papy / Aekins $487K ITB I need to upgrade FR and could afford both Klemmer and JFH or upgrade Aekins to Ponga/Teddy if plays. (Would need to trade Kennedy to Coates for Teddy) Do you upgrade big on one player… Read more »
If teddy is playing I think Kennedy to Coates and Aekins to Teddy would be great. Teddy vs dragons could go huge. If teddy not named, I’d say upgrade 2 other positions
Thanks for that, def needed a little help deciding.
If Teddys out, I will upgrade to Haas and JFH up front provided they do not go up in price (didn’t think i could afford but it looks like it might work)
Thanks Wizard. Hard trying to work out if small improvements outweigh big swings. And completely forgot about Coates playing against Titans as i have wrote the Broncos backline off.
Can you afford aekins to ponga and than downgrade garrick to coates. Papy could go well this week against nz so worth keeping. Although you do need to upgrade the front row so maybe you need to miss coates and upgrade knight

I’m looking at a sneaky POD to replace TWAL under $450k and averaging 64 last 3 rounds
Finished off with 1,116 (pre downdates) so hopefully not too much of a slide from 21st. Plans to bring in Lolo and Cleary this week are out the window, need to replace Turbo and Twal!
Tossing up between Ponga/Latrell for FLB and Fotuaika/Klemmer for FRF anyone looking at someone else?
Congrats on the year so far, ECL.
That’s a decent enough score that you shouldn’t slide too much mate. Maybe have a look at DSaifiti as well, he has been killing it.
FRF I really like Fotu, cheaper than Klemmer and pumping out great base stats. I’d definitely go Ponga over Latrell. I own Latrell and he’s been great for my. CTW but Ponga could go huge any week and you’d be left behind. Plus Latrell won’t play titans and warriors every week.
Carnage!
With Turbo gone I was looking to bring in Teddy, but I see he’s under a cloud for this week? Bringing him in would also ruin my forward upgrade plans. Keep getting killed by Katoa and JTB.

Nice play on Katoa yesterday Dravid. Did you bring him in for that game?
No I’ve had him in since round 3… but was mainly looking to the Dragons, Dogs and Titans game and then I’ll flick him.
Got lucky with Ronaldo’s injury when he switched to the right.
Dravid do you fee Katoa is owed any points?
I would think so, he does tend to update pretty well
Lol… Scratch that he just downdated!
I do feel I am leaning towards holding Teddy and grabbing Coates (even though I sold weeks ago!).
Selling Drink>Cleary as my other trade.
I’m hearing ya on Katoa and JTB, I’ve been playing one of them. Who ever scores the least on a given week is the one I’ve chosen to play 🙁
Spewin that Williame to Coates only brings in 35k
Anyone think DCE is worth a punt? Should take on more attacking responsibility with Turbo out.
sub 20 killed me in draft yesterday.. will be cheap soon. Cleary got 80 with minor attacking stats on the weekend so id be going there first, D Brown is the only pod worth looking at imo
Never really been SC relevant except for a couple runs here and there. If he was GKing maybe
Any one else in serious trouble to field a decent 17 if Carrigan is out?
Might be stuck playing two of Rudolf, Hammer or Luai this week if Katoa doesn’t lace up against the Storm.
Same, for me Carrigan/Twal/EKatoa injured from my 17. If Keppie (Rudolf) starts again could play him if I don’t trade Twal this week.
Knight to come in for Carrigan/EKatoa???
New recruit Coates could be a play,
Turbo and Twal owner here.
No other option but to trade both and hope one of Katoa/Carrigan plays or I’m stuck with Rudolf.
Really regretting grabbing the Hammer early. Although he will make some cash he doesn’t look a reliable player for my 17 and Coates would have been great for the upcoming matchup. Looks like I’ll be missing out on him.

Yes! Sweating on TLT…..
With all the carnage over the weekend, you all will be pleased to know that Leleisiuao will be named for the Titans this week.
Another cash cow??
Bringing in Titans players is like bringing Broncos players…..dangerous territory
Friendly SC game too!
Could be a great downgrade option for Kennedy/Lomax types in 2 weeks
Broncos judiciary update
Carrigan and Flegler have both accepted early guilty pleas and will each miss the one match against the Gold Coast this week.
Hey guys, like lots of you I’ve been destroyed by injuries and need some advive…
Api / Grant
Haas Twal / Kerr Rudolf
Matto McInnes Carrigan / Kerr Katoa Lucy
GWill / Luai
Moses / Drink
Yeo Best Katoa Lomax / Capewell Wiliame Mann
Turbo / Teddy
100k ITB
Cheers
Drink down to FB and Turbo to either Cleary (through Luai) or Munster.
Twal to a gun FRF.
If Teddy doesn’t back up your reserves are probably Grant, Katoa, Mann, Rudolf/Luai/Kerr.
Only silver lining I can see with turbo injury is easy swap to Munster whom will be a straight C v warriors.
P.S watch me break Munster :-/
Well what a round. Lots of injuries so some help would be amazing
Api/Grant
Haas JTB / Rudolph Guler
Lolo Arrow Carrigan / Katoa Lucy Saulo
Moses / Walters
Drinkwater / Luai
Marsters Best Yeo HTF / Isaako Kennedy Williame
Turbo / Teddy
$247K ITB
Cheers!

If you have the cash I would go turbo to cleary and than sell drink to teddy next week if hes out.
Have got about 300k so would be able to do that. Nofo vs the dogs is a tasty match up though. Look what Katoa did to them.
I was so close to bringing Averillo in last week and upset that I didn’t. He’s already the most exciting player on the team, although as a Dogs fan I have to concede that it is slim pickings these days!

If playing catch-up, you do have to take risks. So I don’t mind it, especially with Titans this week.
If you are looking for a stop gap in 2rf until fifita is back, RFM at dogs is not a bad option. Playing 80mins, ave 60 (all in base) in past 3 weeks at 380k. Projected to make 100k+ in the next 3-4weeks. Doesnt have the upside of a Tpj, but almost half the price. Lets you upgrade elsewhere.
May as well keep D Fifita now (if you can)….he looks like being back in a few weeks
It said on broncos website D Fifita estimated rd 10-12. Rd 10 means he still misses 3 more weeks and rd 12 is 5 more weeks. I think it’s still too long to have 500k sitting on the pine

Probably yeah. But I had some other priority trade outs and trade ins. And he wasn’t going to lose money. And since then I’ve had problems cropping up everywhere. Not ideal but it’s where it’s at now
Its risky for the reasons outlined by others but could be a decent pod move if you aren’t wanting to pay premium and then spend elsewhere…
Now hear me out here is keeping Pap for 1 more week stupid considering ive got Staggs and Twal?
Justifiable hold imo.
Papy v Warriors is a better option for your 17 than many others will have this week.
Gonna be honest completely forgot Melbourne played Nzl, cheers
Usually when a team fires a coach they fire up for the next game, but I honestly think Kearney’s sacking will have the opposite effect. Storm by 52
Could go Ok against the Warriors
I was so set on Papy to Ponga but with other injuries/suspensions popping up I have no choice but to hold. Against warriors I’d expect a decent score (50 ish worst case) but who knows
Woohoo, updated to 1006, still lost 9/10 leagues. Rubbish coach is on notice
Can somone give me any idea? Mainly h2h if that helps.
Api/grant
Haas/twal jtb toby
Mciness/frizz hees katoa
Angus kerr
Moses/walteres
Wighton/luai
Marsters/blake hammer/dwz
Cotric/best kennedy
Ted/turbo
Very much appreciated any idea
Turbo to ponga should be locked in
Depending on cash itb you could do a few different trades
A ctw (Masters) to yeo
Wighton to Munster
Twal to a gun frf
Ex Panther to be named for Tigers this week
Shawn Blore
Tigers 2nd Row Forward
Price
$171,900
I hope he does get a start in 1st grade. I’ll look forward to watching him.
Is he any good?
I’m sure on of the Blore brothers has captained NSW in a SOO game. Coming off an ACL is the major negative on him though.
Good downgrade option if he gets a few weeks with Twal and potentially musgrove out
Thinking he’ll be coming off the bench with Aloiai and Eisenhuth being the starters. Definite SC watch though.
Oooft, NSW U18’s player of the year in 2018. Junior Kangaroo. Hope he gets 3 games. out 2019 injured
Sounds like he’s going to be starting at lock
Someone had said they were missing points for AFB? seen he went from 61 to 58 lol

Can you afford aekins to ponga and than downgrade garrick to coates. Papy could go well this week against nz so worth keeping. Although you do need to upgrade the front row so maybe you need to miss coates and upgrade knight
I’m looking at a sneaky POD to replace TWAL under $450k and averaging 64 last 3 rounds
SharonW? $490k after she updates
Correct BAS, can pocket $80k from Twal and he is getting decent minutes and the offload going
Can afford Klem etc but the extra cash will come in handy
Woods? Edit Just saw above message. Bunny he is priced at 445k according to the app is that not right?
Yeah sorry $445k…didn’t realise price was already adjusted
Lockout over
