  • Wasn’t going to trade this week and finally hold (32 trades and 2 boosts left). But then figured out I could go –
    Schiller > Sasagi
    Then Levi > Grant (other HOK is JMK. Teams been going really well so far. Thoughts?

    TU – Yes
    TD – hold trades

  • VC looped fonua blake’s 125. Sacrafised May who got 24 anyway so will be my ae.

    • Who has the “C” ?

      Recon it is a close call but tempting. Great VC call. Bird in the hand stuff.

    • Nice one Mower Man 2-1 to You… I better lift my game haha 😉 you going Awesome

  • Munster saying he’s at 80%, yeah right Munny sure you are

    • Munster reminding us of his quality. Hard to get him in your team so close to origin.

  • Gotta sell Cookie now. 20 pts. Not on the field. Losing cash. KMN

    • Yeah I don’t know what he’s done to JD. Having two hookers on the becnh (technically Havili not there to play hooker I guess but still..) Hooking him after 30ish minutes when he’s one of the hardest playing guys week in week out

  • VC Munster last week but didn’t have the big ones.Still i’ll take a munny ball 140

    • You’ve certainly lived up to your name with that score. Well done.

  • Papy getting two tries and only scoring 84 in a 54-20 thrashing is a little disappointing..

    • His opportunities are limited in that star studded Melbourne spine

    • I agree and it makes me think about whether it is a good idea to keep him as one of FLB. With Munster back, Hughes in good form, is it a case of too many cooks in the kitchen?

      • All the same cooks were there when he was averaging over a hundred. I think he is just being more careful and is a little older.

        • And doesn’t gk. There are a lot of points he is missing there.

    • `Pappy isn’t paid to be throwing passes from dummy half or to be standing behind the ruck watching the game. He did do a bit more than last week.

    • Goodbye next week Papy. OK score this week but a 80 odd is not enough for me with 2 tries when on thin ice already. Wish i went with my gut and ditched him earlier.

      Maybe i’m still salty on him because I somehow deselected him and copped an AE in r2 for his 132. Not great feeling when checking my score on that Monday morning!

      Yes there is plenty of good players to take his points but i think they were all there years ago when he was carving up. Papy is no longer in top 5 options for the most important position in SC. He’ll probably fire up since I’ve bagged him now

  • Scary forecasted this week… unless you are 1300 projected you be feeling worried like me haha

  • Biggest Score I seen KenDom Wanderers … 10/801 with C to come Projected 1450 odd… darn I am in deep trouble 🙂

    • Still 5 games to go and many of the heavy hitters haven’t played yet. I’m sure you’ll be okay, TG. 🙂

  • Take sj as vc? Or hold with C turbo?
    TU loop
    Td c turbo

    • I don’t think 92 is high enough, especially with Cleary, Hynes, Edwards, and Walsh yet to play.

      • I believe so too lol, but just nervous over some poor C’s in the past weeks. My only fear is that with turbo, much like papi tonight, can have heavy try involvements and yet struggle to crack a massive score you’d be happy with. I may have to ride that risk though to chase the big points cheers lads

        • I didn’t loop Manu a couple of weeks ago for his 117. It was the correct choice in the end as got 20-30 more points sticking with Turbo for 82 with C.

          2 x 92 = 184 plus an AE so maybe only 200 or 230 max. Or 92 + Your original Captains score.

  • CNK looks special this year. Who knows if he can bang it out each week. But looks a speciality for 50-60 base points each week regardless of attacking contributions. I’m gonna keep riding the wave

  • Pick 2 to play

    Smithies, Arthars, Brooks, Schiller, Galvin

  • I am getting smashed in my H2h …

    His already looped AFB, had POD DFIF, manu, angus, hughes and papi … 7 played for 822 thus far …

    TU: My original trade was Talagi to Walsh and Henry to S Fainu …then had 93k ITB

    TD: Now changed to Schiller to walsh and Henry to SFAINU … 288K ITB .. for upgrades next week …

    • I like TD as Raiders CashCows all seem to have just about hit the Peak and You will avoid losing possibly some Cash… Talagi won’t lose any Cash…. so You can wait a week on him to trade… Eels are on a Bye next week so You could also wait 2 weeks and attend to some more urgent matters which may appear after this round.
      Best of luck Silky

    • I’d keep Dbags . Most ball will go through him and Moses back soon – a more known commodity compared to Brooks at Manly.

  • 24hr Team List Update: Sea Eagles vs Eels Kick-Off 8.00pm Friday
    Sea Eagles: Still 1-17
    Remaining Reserves: Aaron Woods & Jake Arthurs
    Eels: Still 1-17
    Remaining Reserves: Sean Russell & Luca Moretti
    TRADE-A-HOLICS MAGIC# 9691

  • Anyone else think Lomax should be owed a few more points? Or just wishful thinking?
