@Wrighty what is your cashdown strategy?

Are you trying to free up funds to purchase a gun?

@Wrighty what is your cashdown strategy?

Are you trying to free up funds to purchase a gun?

I have cash downed Starford to Munro. For the following reasons

1) Starfiord has a high BE this week and I can see him slipping cash in the next few weeks. I think his price has peaked.
2) I bigged up Starford in this thread and told everyone to jump on him and he delivered. He started at like 250K and went to $500K. My forecast of him averaging about 45 was based on the Tigers gun spine. Now that they are losing Galvin is gives opposition defences more resources to key in on other offensive threats in the tigers back line such as Starford. I am predicting the Tigers point scoring to take a dip now including Starford.
3) Yes I have my eye on a gun. And needed this cash.
4) I view the two Roosters halves as dead men walking as far as Fantasy usefulness goes once Sam walker comes back. And will need to shake and bake some trades including those two so want to give myself some funds to get some decent players back. As I posed even if Sandon keeps his job he will lose goal kicking and play a secondary role to Sam Walker. I see both of these two as a hard sell. I have both Savala and Sandon and I am gearing myself up to trade them away successfully.

What’s everyone doing with their soo players backing up? I’m struggling to pick my 13 with 20 players to pick from. I’ve got Tino and yeo on the bench at the moment and playing horse and the couch, but thinking about running yeo and tino hoping that it’ll be business as usual. Do our origin players generally score less after origin from reduced minutes etc?

Depends who it is and how many minutes they played and when do they play (2 days after origin or 5 days etc)

Tino has facial injury but should be good to go. Titans need him, I think he'll play normal stint.

Yeo while the Panthers need him, history shows he plays reduced minutes. However history is also Panthers near top of the table...

I actually think Sandon will keep the kicking duties. He seems better than Walker and as a coach, I would want Walker to focus on core 7 role.

If anyone was thinking of getting JC this week you might want to rethink. He's at fullback and averages 45 there.

Thank goodness I never bought DeGroot. I think I chose Iongi instead.

I’ve got Campbell and it’s a choice between him and Tamale for me.

I am up against you this week so I can't give any advice. Tough call though

 

[Wrighty]

Kents on my other forum are loading up on Latu Fainu like it is a gold rush.

 

[Wrighty]

Jamie Humphreys is going go over 70 points with no Latrell

 

[Wrighty]

Hurry up and start League. 10pm seems a long time away.

 

[Makasene]

Have reversed Kiraz to JC with the positional change.

Looking at Kiraz to Drinkwater.

Will loop Ponga tonight and save the trade if he goes well

he scored 24 fantasy points in the Origin game. I don't know if you want to hold your breath.

Did you have to make a trade with Kiraz then?

 

[Makasene]

Yea Kiraz for Drinkwater.

Alternative was to play Savala in the halves and keep Sharpe at WFB.

Decided against that. Have wanted Drinky for a while, plays both remaining major byes

Think @Rizzah already has me with that KPP try.
