foolishly went mulitalo over to’o so now I’m sucking it up and paying overs for him. thinking cotter to nuff and tago to to’o. thought tago was a reasonable 5th CTW but with CTW scoring so well I’m going to stack it with Manu, Garrick, mulitalo, may and to’o.
I think talakai might be a sell now, as well as McInnes. McInnes will at least play 17, will hold talakai til game 3 teams are named at very least.
Cotter, Ming, Talakai, Tago, Burbo, Hynes, Koula all possible outs
To’o, Andersen, Matterson, Papenhuyzen and 1 other to be targeted probably a hooker.
drinkwater to dylbags via mam and hynes. Drinkwater has low base doesn’t play rd17 but dylbags will get 40pts at worst compared to drinkwater’s 15-20. Bunnies tigers warriors next 3 for parra, but drinkwater’s draw is slightly worse. Depends how much trades as it’s a bit sideways i feel
I also am an owner. I have McInnes as HOK, and Cotter in 2RF. one of them will likely go to Grant. Cotter is a 70 ave player for the run home, I don’t really want to part with him if I can manage to.
Probably hold him, not sure tbh. Might use him or Talakai to fund Papi

grab to’o with decent base and big upside, or just get tapine who seems to get 80 without trying? Panthers have a tough run home before warriors in h2h final
i went to cook. i have mcinnes and cotter in HOK and planned to finish with grant and cotter, but am now concerned about limited mins when he comes back for a few weeks. I want to finish with cook and grant now. cook is close to the cheapest he will get imo. i planned on holding cotter so round 17 number doesnt really matter way i look at it
im not either, but if hes out the max weeks, which was 5, hes not back til 19 / 20 and then i cant see him getting maximum minutes straight away so you are looking at possible another 3 – 5 games not playing him. also depends where u plan to play him. cook and grant are the 2 best HOK options, so maybe hes a hold at 2rf if you have cover but i dont want to hold at HOK
He is a sell, missing 5 weeks plus hamstring has decent reoccurance rate. His style means its either full games or he wont score too well getting managed. At this stage he misses rounds 13 to 20, if anyone picked him up round 11 ro 12 as bye cover then RIP
That’s what i did and as much as i love him as a player, i want mcinnes or api. maybe even get grant early. we’ll see as im at school where they blocked sc
if u REALLY want to get mcinnes, which i would suggest you dont, get him next week. cotters price aint changing, and the other 2 mentioned (elliot and ola) have attainable BEs. mcinnes wont hit his BE, now is not the week to bring him in.
you dont need a hooker for round 17, you just need as many players as you can in any position, so dont bring in someone like mcinnes just because hes a hooker and u dont have one
could trade koula instead. gives yourself another 17 number. TMM’s BE isnt too bad

Sitting in 812th. 12 trades left.
Have 9 likely bye players… 10 if Tass plays. Thinking I may hold trades and the use my last boost to burn 4 for heading into the bye round. Papy the obvious target if looks good after R16. Slim pickings in general though. Hope Anderson at Storm keeps his spot…
Congratulations on the great placing Bluey! Keep pushing onwards and upwards! We’ll have to see after Origin 2 for moves, and maybe Origin 3 selections for R 17 decisions. Anyway, cheers on the results mate! 😉
I see AJ as an easy play in 3 games. A 50/50 play in 4 games and a no play in 3 games. Really depends on you depth. Paps is an upgrade and must have for the run home. But I’m a big fan of playing AJ on matchups.

Does anyone know of a one round R17 nuff in 2rf or Hooker? peoples the best bet?
i just read on twitter that peoples didnt even make the reserve grade run on side and played from the bench. seems he may have fallen well down the pecking order?
Edit: source was previous winner Wilfred
Chee Kam should be available for selection from Rd 16 onwards + Peoples has dropped down the pecking order as well as he was benched in reserve grade this week behind Lovett and Cartwright. Rough for owners already and for non-owners, defs not a trade in before Rd 17 now

15 trades to go, 255k in the bank
Not sure what trades to make, trying to bring in some round 17 players
Current team:
Grant, Josh Cook
iPap, Lolo, Tapine and M.King
Ola, Tago, Tupouniua, Tohu, Butcher, Stimson
Cleary, Moses
Munster, Mam
Manu, May, Penisini, Kiraz, Coates, Vailea, Tass
Hynes, Koula
Not a f******* clue…..
My biggest error this year was not getting Garrick, thought saving the trade was better. I’ve just done the same as To’o.
So I’ll probably get him for Tago
I’m going tago to to’o too. lost a lot of money not doing that last week
Only a true rugby league fan would know what that first sentence means

I think talakai might be a sell now, as well as McInnes. McInnes will at least play 17, will hold talakai til game 3 teams are named at very least.
i went ramien over katoa 2 weeks ago, ik what u feel like
Matto in butcher out
Locked now after origin teams
if blues lose game 2 what’s to say Matto won’t get a recall
At 2 nil series gone they not picking dropped players from game 1
Good point Kegs. Think I’ll wait till rd17 for him though.
Exactly
Think I’m taking the L with Haas and jumping to Tapine and just pay the overs for him.
Am in the same boat mate. Considering nuffing JFH and then swapping someone out for him now that im catching on late. Spewing! held Haas like a donkey
Time for a breather and enjoy rep week. Think about trades next week…..ahh, who am I kidding?
stay on that sc grind
Koroisau – Cotter
PAPALI’I – ARROW – Tapine – Ming
CRICHTON – TALAKAI – Kikau – Taumalolo – Tago – Burbo
HYNES – Cleary
MUNSTER – MAM
LOMAX – PENISINI – MULITALO – Kiraz – Koula – Manu – May
KENNEDY – Drinkwater
Got 5 trades to use over next 2 rounds
Cotter, Ming, Talakai, Tago, Burbo, Hynes, Koula all possible outs
To’o, Andersen, Matterson, Papenhuyzen and 1 other to be targeted probably a hooker.
Ming might be a hold over Arrow? Is the plan to nuff out whoever you sell there?
Don’t know tbh, went arrow because of r17.
Max King is definitely a hold. Is a great reserve FRF who can be used in case of emergency. Will be a few more games before he peaks.
I would almost argue he is a play with the new coach
should get dual 2rf in round 18 too
Hynes just got 95 for doing absolutely nothing. is he really a trade ?
Option to fund Papi
Hynes is premium. Better options to sell than him
Now it looks like he’ll miss origin 3 I agree
drinkwater to dylbags via mam and hynes. Drinkwater has low base doesn’t play rd17 but dylbags will get 40pts at worst compared to drinkwater’s 15-20. Bunnies tigers warriors next 3 for parra, but drinkwater’s draw is slightly worse. Depends how much trades as it’s a bit sideways i feel
Grant/Cotter
Ipap/Haas/Thompson/MacDonald
Yeo/Olak/Matto/Talakai/Tago/Garlick
Cleary/Mam
Munster/Brown
Graham/Mulitalo/Cobbo/May/Kiraz/Koula/Tass
Hynes/TMM
Looking at going
Cobbo > To’o
Tago > Tapine
TMM > Ganderson
As a fellow Cotter owner, what’s your plan for him?
I also am an owner. I have McInnes as HOK, and Cotter in 2RF. one of them will likely go to Grant. Cotter is a 70 ave player for the run home, I don’t really want to part with him if I can manage to.
Probably hold him, not sure tbh. Might use him or Talakai to fund Papi
grab to’o with decent base and big upside, or just get tapine who seems to get 80 without trying? Panthers have a tough run home before warriors in h2h final
Go against the crowd, and get Val instead of To’o
16 trades, 33K ITB
Grant/McInnes
Ipap/Lolo/Arrow/Ming
Olak/Talakai/Tago/Crichton/Cotter/S.Harris
Cleary/Mam
Brown/Walker
Manu/Graham/To’o/May/Lomax/Kiraz/Anderson
Hynes/Koula
Looking at trading out Arrow, Cotter and Koula. Matto and Papy obvious targets.
Any suggestions for trades with a focus on Round 17?
i don’t own Manu, Garrick or To’o and it’s killing me. if you had to choose one to bring in this round, who would it be?
Tough one, Garrick has Melbourne and Panthers and Roosters play each other. I would say To’o most likely to score highest out of the 3 next round.
I agree but Manu has proven he can score well against pretty much anyone this year. Garrick can wait. Toss of a coin between Manu & 2to
14 trades left
1 boost
still need to find a way to bring in the following:
Matterson, Tapine, Manu, Grant, Paps, Ola
in summary – FML
i think matto is a good pickup, as well as tapine
cotter to who???
i went to cook. i have mcinnes and cotter in HOK and planned to finish with grant and cotter, but am now concerned about limited mins when he comes back for a few weeks. I want to finish with cook and grant now. cook is close to the cheapest he will get imo. i planned on holding cotter so round 17 number doesnt really matter way i look at it
Not sure is he a sell
im not either, but if hes out the max weeks, which was 5, hes not back til 19 / 20 and then i cant see him getting maximum minutes straight away so you are looking at possible another 3 – 5 games not playing him. also depends where u plan to play him. cook and grant are the 2 best HOK options, so maybe hes a hold at 2rf if you have cover but i dont want to hold at HOK
He is a sell, missing 5 weeks plus hamstring has decent reoccurance rate. His style means its either full games or he wont score too well getting managed. At this stage he misses rounds 13 to 20, if anyone picked him up round 11 ro 12 as bye cover then RIP
i got him in 12 and then traded grant out round 13, been great lol
That’s what i did and as much as i love him as a player, i want mcinnes or api. maybe even get grant early. we’ll see as im at school where they blocked sc
I’ll be going Matto. Might have a point to prove after his Origin axing
My guess is now that he signed his Eels contract and its all formalised, his workrate will drop off a touch.
Unsure what to do trade wise, looking to bring in rnd 17 targets. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
14 trades left & 45k ITB
Robson, Cotter
Papali’i, Lolo, M King, J King
Olakualatu, Talakai, Crichton, Elliot, Tago, Peoples
Cleary, Mam
Munster, C Walker
Garrick, Manu, To’o, Mulitalo, May, Kiraz, Koula
Hynes, Drinkwater
Cheers
Cotter to McInnes, or if you want to keep Cotter go Elliot or Olakualatu to McInnes, what way you’ll have a hooker for R17.
if u REALLY want to get mcinnes, which i would suggest you dont, get him next week. cotters price aint changing, and the other 2 mentioned (elliot and ola) have attainable BEs. mcinnes wont hit his BE, now is not the week to bring him in.
you dont need a hooker for round 17, you just need as many players as you can in any position, so dont bring in someone like mcinnes just because hes a hooker and u dont have one
trade tago imo. you have 5 gun CTW and wont play tago over any of them.
maybe nuff koula and upgrade tago to almost anyone u like
koula-nuff tago- any ctw/2rf u like
Is it worth using last boost to go
Tago > Tapine
Cobbo > To’o
TMM > Anderson via Koula
Leaves me with 12 trades and 69k itb with Cotter on bench
I dont see why not. As long as you have enough funds elsewhere to bring in Paps as soon as he is ready
Probably gonna use Talakai + Mam to fund Paps when he drops in price
thats precisely my plan. talakai has fallen down the CTW pecking order so can be moved on imo
could trade koula instead. gives yourself another 17 number. TMM’s BE isnt too bad

Thanks mate… I’m hanging in there!
For those bringing in a R17 HFB this week you going:
TU Moses ($589k v Souths then Tigers)
TD Hughes ($637k v Manly then Sharks)
Would be TD for me as I would rather hold Hughes for the remainder of the season than Moses.
u never know if moses could chuck a 7pts on u… hughes will get 40pts at worst and has massive upside.
Moses will get more against the tigers than what hughs will get in both of his two games
AJ a season hold? Feel like he has pretty much peaked in price, and could be a easy way to fund Paps?
I see AJ as an easy play in 3 games. A 50/50 play in 4 games and a no play in 3 games. Really depends on you depth. Paps is an upgrade and must have for the run home. But I’m a big fan of playing AJ on matchups.
Does anyone know of a one round R17 nuff in 2rf or Hooker? peoples the best bet?
Peoples likely plays decent minutes then disappears.
Yeah I think peoples. Would be nice if he made 100k as well.
i just read on twitter that peoples didnt even make the reserve grade run on side and played from the bench. seems he may have fallen well down the pecking order?

butcher to matterson (i havent checked prices of either) but butcher is a sell and matto should play 17 now
too much deadwood or nuffs. tohu, butcher to matto and ofahengaue?
Who is the best trade in
TU. TAPINE about 22% owned
TD. MURRAY about 9% owned
tapine 110 percent. get murray later on
