I have 8 trades. I am contemplating trading him out and buying him back in 19. If he is back for 18, he's there 1 out of 4 games

Yeah it's 1/4 but 18 is probably the hardest round to cover. I have a solid 13 this week (forwards Clark, May, AFB, Aitkens, KPP with Tapine looping with Duncan)so will hold off trading till I hear more next week.

 

[Dantheman]

You have 13 right by the looks of it.

You could cash down to Talakai. Here's got that center spot for several weeks and edge dual position which is handy.

Yea I have 13 if ponga plays. I was thinking of holding the trade and seeing how some of the cheaper options go this week. It’s annoying that the raiders play first though .

If you are happy with your 13, I wouldn't trade but yes, annoying that Raiders play first for you.

What's this smoke I hear about Tom Turbo going to centre? You guys hearing this? What is the deal?

That's next week's problem dude.

@Wrighty what's the projected scores for this round? I feel like this is my bad round.

@Wrighty what's the projected scores for this round? I feel like this is my bad round.

The top person for the round will go over 1000
An elite score 900 plus
An outstanding score 850 plus
A very good score 800 plus
A decent score 750 plus
A par score 700 plus
A not very good score 650 to 700
A score that is poor 650 or less probably a couple of your guys got injured or Drinky got another sub 20 score.

 

[Wrighty]

Only 4 trades left and I have maybe another two lined up next week. So rounds 18 and 19 are going to scary if I get struck by injury.
Hiroti has hurt me. Trading him in and then out when I had so few trades..

Thoughts on Hosking to papi? Allows me to loop Bostock & drinky, gives me another round 18 number, with no more byes left & Hosking is currently excess this week & round 18. I need to make a call by Friday as Hosking plays the first game. Would leave me with 4 trades left, and 12 for round 18.

Last minor bye round top score was 925, I guess some teams will have improved since then but also less luxury trading to prop up a round.

Looks like similar strength of teams missing

I'd do it, if your EDGs are sorted. Way better upside with Papenhuyzen. Storm potentially run up a massive score v the Rabbits.

Is it 17 players this week or 13?

 

[Makasene]

13

13 for Rnd 18 & 19 too

 

[tyrael]

I didn't watch the game closely but how were NSW forwards? Feel like Kolo going to get called in...

Thought Stefano and King were pretty anonymous. Leniu tried hard but didn't have a great game.

If it were me I'd be bringing in Kolo at the expense of Stefano for the nek game

**NEWS** Nathan Cleary has popped his groin but played through origin relinquishing the kicking duties.
Speculation is he will play through the rest of the season without kicking until he heals. This will cost him kicking points.

**NEWS** Payne Haas injured his groin also minutes before taking the field last night and observers say he was not at his best during the game. Madge will want to play him this week given it is a Sunday game however he may not end up taking the field.

If I had more trades I would go Brailey for Grant
A lot of guys on the Jamie Borown forum, and myself are eyeing off Grant

That makes no sense to me bro even if you had trades. Brailey has higher average, lower BE, and both priced the same. Grant just has better bye schedule from here on out. It's the most sideways trade I've seen.

Let's see if you are still saying that two weeks from now. Grant screwed the pooch early season just coasting, he traditionally starts to make an effort around now. That said I don't have the trades and it is a nice to have trade so I can't make it.
I can reliably inform you plenty of top 1000 players in the Jamie Brown forum will be bringing him in over the next three rounds and if you Tyrael, want to maintain top 100, you need to be tracking him even if you don't bring him in. At a minimum he should be a watch list for everyone who has high ranking aspirations.
