G’day all,
Need a hand with a few issues……

Hok: Api (Lussick)
Frf: Tino May (Flegler , Hughes)
2rf: Fermor , Crighton , Smithies (Kikau,Burbo,Chan)
1/2: Nicho (Hutch)
5/8: TMM (Galvin)
Ctw: Manu,RTS,Bostock,Schiller (May,Salmon,Iro)
Fb : Pappy (Ponga)

33 Trades and 3 boosts left with $360 itb

I really need a FRF so will punt Tino but do i bring in Fonua Blake ?
Any other suggestions on FRF
Happy to sit on Ponga for a week or 2.
Do I bring in Cleary this week or next ?

Appreciate any help ………

Stokesy12

AFB, Haas or Curran is a good dual hitting 60s for next week

Aaliaust

Sweet Stokesy …..

AFB to the rescue and wont play origin.
What about Cleary this week or next ???

CoG

Hutcho score(0) vs Cleary against Cows.

Never walk alone

AFP, Cleary and Reece. Pull the trigger and don’t look back

gippyflipo

Wow Fainu to start. Sasagi also. Reverse trade.

Bradd9

Sold Fainu to Gus last week, should have cashed Smithies instead. Thought Bateman should have moved to lock weeks ago.

gippyflipo

I’ve been wanting him all year. Never to late to bring him back haha

2step

Levi is making way not sure on who to bring in as 2nd hooker

TU – Grant
TD – JMK

Cheers lads

Bradd9

Api your 1st hooker? Egan a shout too.

CoG

Have had JMK and since the start and wouldn’t rush to get him. The Fins wont towel up teams consistently.

DCE2011

JBrailey is cheap and plays R13.

Never walk alone

If Levi is your biggest issue then you have dodged several bullets. I’d be saving the trade

jonsnow2

Hi guys.

Thinking I need to fix my FRF situation due to dogs bye. Mikaele named on cowboys bench.

Do i play mik or trade in AFB by upgrading mikaele/smithies (curran dual) this week? Any recommended transfers?

Grant api
Curran tapine Hughes mikaele
Angus kpp ekat jcarty smithies vfif
Hynes Brooks
Strange Galvin
Garrick val rts arthars schiller talagi iro
Turbo papy

165k itb.

Keep Mikaele. AFB is a great trade but looking at your team I think Fainu is a better fit at 2RF as he can swap with Curran. Cash in Schiller also.

jonsnow2

Thanks gippy

Who we thinking out? Smithies?

gippyflipo

It’s up to you. I would trade out Schiller.

Never walk alone

Interesting, why Schiller? He has plenty of money to make, while Smithies has shown he is a meat and potatoes kind of player

gippyflipo

It’s a personal preference. Schiller could make you another 100k or lose a 100k or be dropped for Hopa. Smithies shouldn’t change in price too much.

Mackdadday

Henry to Fainu? 32 trades left going into the round.

ApaxHapiMickey

Same trades as me and we’ve burnt quite a lot imo, so I wouldn’t do it especially considering you aren’t looking to play either regularly. Also Henry gets improved minutes throughout origin period imo.

Kazza

Hi All I can do whatever I want this week. I think the number 1 priority is get Gutho out. Also could do with a FRF. Maybe Henry to ??? due to BE of 71. Also looking toward SOO weeks now. Team Api Lussick Curran May Hughes Henry EKat Smithies KPP Crichton Chan VFifita Cleary Hynes Brown Galvin RTS Bostock Iro May Schiller Strange Talagi Paps Gutho I am thinking AFB, Fainu or ??? Was thinking Walsh but can bring Iro down for a week and bring in a CTW. Move Iro back up next week for Drinkwater or another… Read more »

Think if you can do VFif/Chan > Fainu, you’ll have a solid option to switch around with Curran & play this round, only misses 1 round during the whole SOO period and you’ll be cheering if he locks in that 2RF role. Henry not a big trade out, pretty serviceable with 30-40 scores as a backup and he’ll make money once again after the -1 drops out of his 3 round average. AFB a set & forget for the year if you choose to go down that route. Gutho > Walsh is a good trade but keep in mind that… Read more »

Kazza

Thank you Cheerio. Like the VFif to Fainu trade. Also the AFB. Big decisions with lots of choices.

Hi All

I have traded VFifita for Fainu.

Do I bite the bullet and get Lomax for Gutho? Knowing Lomax will probably be picked for Origin.
Then Drinks next week for Schiller?

After this weeks 2 trades will have 31 trades left and $720K in the bank.

TU: Yes. It is a go.
TD: No. There are better choices.

Thank you

Kazza

corsola

Is it worth selling Smithies a bit early to Plath so I can fund Cleary next week?

ApaxHapiMickey

I would look for another avenue to generate $ as I think smithies still has more to give, but if you can’t see another clear cut downgrade then it isn’t the worst idea

Temple Guard

Current Top 10 Trade-ins: Walsh Cleary Plath Hynes Sasagi AFB Turbo Edwards Lomax & CNK

zooperdooper32

Is saab a buy?

pulprawk

I’m tossing up between him and sione katoa this week ,I already have mulitalo so don’t wanna load up too much on sharks backs . Surely Saab goes on a run with his next few matchups

evilmacca

hamstrings are always dicey … would want to see a run or two from him before considering … trades are like gold!

JD7

What do we think about Isaako this year. Surely he gets amongst the tries again soon. I’m keen to go early since Savage has close to a 70BE and I don’t exactly wanna pay for Lomax or Ronnie at their peak. I’ve got a bit of PTSD from going early on Garrick last week tho haha

LateRingIn

After seeing Bostock score 3 without the Hammer, you’d have to think that Isaako is due soon.

ApaxHapiMickey

Sold a couple of weeks ago, maybe I was just impatient but they look to be going a lot more left to bostocks side (7 tries in 6 games), and further farmworth will be back soon and does not give him ball whatsoever. I’d look for someone else

CoG

Current team
JMK Levi
Cotter May Hughes Henry
KPP Angus Lucas Smithies Finny Salmon
Hynes Bunt
Munster Galvin
Muli RTS Arthurs May Iro Strange Schiller
Drinky Pongs
What to do ??
Current thinking is Bunt+Drinky > Cleary+Walsh
With cheaper ctw guns maybe next week
$201k itb

Feels like Luxury Trades somewhat… But you been going well it’s your call

CoG

A little indulgence maybe but i think i get more pts in the future hopefully.
Only 27 more luxury trades to go.Yikes!!!

gippyflipo

I get that Drinky will lose a ton of value but after this week he has an awesome run of games.

Never walk alone

Nath and Reece are my 2 trade targets this week, I haven’t thought twice about changing my mind, although I am trading out KP and Hutcho. Along with Hynes, These are the 2 best attacking players from 2 of the form teams, you cannot argue against these trades

Kazza

Why not trade Ponga to Walsh? Ponga is gone for weeks. Drinks games after this week are ok. Unless you want to bring in another FB later.

Magpies4Eva007

I’d keep Drinky. Good draw after this week and plays R13 bye.

bloody_bunnies

Hi all, I had 200k and I just went Strange to Sasagi so now I have more money than god.

Would you go-

TU: Levi to Grant/JMK
TD: Faama to AFB
Comment: Your wildest fantasy. E.g. Hoe Chan to D. Fifita

eldinko

And we are back
Wahooo

but will there be a banner (or is this it)

Boomer

Walsh is the Banner !!! well thats how im reading it !!

MarstersofMayhem

Is it worth going Talagi > Sasami or Plath?

Magpies4Eva007

I prefer Plath. Plays 3 major bye weeks and imo is a “footballer”.

LateRingIn

I can afford any CTW with a 3rd boost. I don’t have any of the guns. Who should I pick up?

For reference my CTW is:
RTS, May, Iro, Schiller, Strange, Burbo, Xerri

Last edited 10 days ago by LateRingIn
Magpies4Eva007

Manu, Lomax and Val are the top CTW’s. All are at top dollar and Val is definite origin and Lomax possible. Manu plays first 2 major byes so if you are happy to pay top dollar he would be my pick. Other gun CTW have high be’s and can wait a week such as Garrick, Gagai and Marzhew. The last 2 play R13 but are now a little less appealing without Ponga. Your CTW aren’t too bad and if you have a CTW/2R dual you might think about a 2R like Fifita, Nikora or Sorenson.

Temple Guard

Has anybody got the Magic Number Tradie posted… Old pages have disappeared!!!!
Would appreciate it… otherwise I will just guess it for now

gippyflipo

Not sure it’s the same as the one Tradie posted but I was using 9713

Temple Guard

Thxs Gippy I seem to think it was around 9600ish but also unsure, appreciate your input Mate 🙂

gippyflipo

It’s just based off the SC Stats site. 9715

Temple Guard

Thxs Mate, I sort of halved my thoughts with yours and came up with 9670 😉

gippyflipo

Looks good TG. Maths was never my go haha

Trav80

The MN guess of 9670 looks pretty close to the mark TG!

Mobile Chicane

This week it’s 9691, down from 9806 the week before.
I jot down the number as soon as I see it so I don’t have to go looking for it.
