I’ll put it out there. Draft is better than Classic.

“Who’s coming with me?!?”

What kind of value does JT13 hold at the moment? Reckon I could still get a 3rd-4th round pick for him in a 10 man league?

Easily mate.

Heavyjuice

Yep for sure. Depends on the rest of your team but I would even considering holding. Lolo will still be a beast at the back end of the season when the guns in your draft team are crucial. Depends on the make up of your team, but if looking to trade I would be going nowhere less than say someone like Latrell or Cody or Farah (on current form).

Clifford is deffo worth a punt imo. Im using a waiver on him to dump Lewis and replace connor watson until he finds form.

Click trade player from the team page, then click waiver claims up the top (it defaults to team trades first which is annoying, then click which player you want to trade out on the left and the player you want to trade in on the right.

Then hit confirm up the top.

Heavyjuice

Nice one. Same process as Vertigo describes for free agents and team trades.

Daily Telegraph could take a lesson from ESPN fantasy app. Do NFL draft as well and their app is so much more user friendly.

What’s everyone’s thoughts with Martin? Picked him up Last week on the waiver figuring he had to come back eventually … but the benching worries me . I grabbed Twal last night just in case

I can either play
Twal Tolman
Lane hess kbrom

Or risk Martin getting goodbye minutes for

Lane tolman

Hess kbrom Martin

Thoughts ??

The backrow looks ordinary cause I’ve had to shift Bateman to ctw and tapine injured

Heavyjuice

How many in your league? I am in a league of 14 and I traded Mahoney for Martin this week to a mate that needed a hooker. Have McC as my other so figured it was worth a punt. Defo worth a pick up I reckon but maybe not play him this week. Depends your match up and what the round is looking like. Bulldogs play second last so can hopefully judge and decide on Twal or Martin based off what you need.

Is Guerra droppable or worth riding it out? At this stage he’s my reserve SR. I’m not sure what exactly is going on at the knights but know he’s been consistently good over the years and would hate to drop him and see him then start to Ave 50

Nathan Brown is a muppet and somehow believes Dudsby and Sione are better choices than Guerra and Barnett, this is coming from a Knights fan btw. our starting pack is awfully overrated, Klemmer has been a good signing but Gavet/Glasby are no better than what we already had in Guerra/Barnett/Ese’ese. Sione will get injured or concussed soon enough, that’ll be Guerra or Barnett’s return to relevance

nimwierdo

Thanks heaps

Looking at Ben Hampton to fill the void while Watson turns his form around. Stats from last year are pretty tasty. Not sure how he has looked in reggies?

Anyone game?

Do people mainly play 10 team leagues? Takes all the fun out IMO

16 team leagues are the way to go, dealing with and trading up the scraps is half the fun

Heavyjuice

Was in a league of 10 last year and in a league of 14 this year. I was second up and its a loooong time between picks when the snake is long. It is heaps better but because you need to have a broader understanding of the mid-rangers or guys to take a punt on. That’s why I like draft better than classic. 16 would be even tougher!

scottw2706

First year at draft and I’m in an 8 team league which is too few teams IMO because there’s too many players available as free agents.
Mid rangers don’t have much trade value because you can mostly pick someone similar up off waiver or free agency

dnobos

Yeah. Managed to pick up Maumalo on waivers from 2nd last while everyone slept on him.

LOTE

Got lucky and remade my draft only 2 hours before round 1 lockout so it’s not the prettiest thing. I’m wondering whether I should grab Nikora and play him over Burns for safety or play Burns for his high ceiling that would make up for the lack of points elsewhere?
Here’s my 7 man squad now.
Mahoney
Twal
Bateman/Murray
Asiata
Moses/Morgan
Burns
Brimson

What do we think hughes value is trade wise? I got turbo back and cleary in my halves.
Probably looking for a forward

Heavyjuice

I have Hughes in my HLB position and Teddy at FLB. Hughes offers that flexibility so I think punches above his weight. Hughes for Lane would be the level I would be looking, especially for someone who is slim in the halves/FLB position.
