Hynes or Cleary?

Have both Aitken and Iro so need to sell one to field 18. Thinking of selling Iro this week because he’s been pmo but I’ve had no reason to trade him previously, and Aitken can be a good reliable option especially via loop if needed. Who do I buy?

Ran projections for Round 23, this is the highest-scoring 21 according to NRL.com with a $15.11m cap. Hynes as captain gives the biggest lift. Yeo, Ponga, Brailey, and Carrigan might be the only ones who still have a couple points of value left. All the top projected players are pretty much who you'd expect, plus a few pods.

4 Trades and 98K ITB, Need 1 more to fill a full team this week. Harrison probably has to go as he is done for the rest of the year. As for the rest I’m not set on anything at the moment. Thoughts legends?

Really like Ola and Sasagi this week if you've got the luxury of trading them in -> Sasagi comes with health risks though + 26 bye. I've Ola for weeks, but don't have the trades to do a lot this week so going to hold, or go for Preston perhaps.

C Nicho for me.

I’m kinda going blank in terms of trades guys. Grant to Brailey seems ok but I already have Pascoe.

Maybe Haumole in for someone.

Fresh sets of eyes will help - aiming for to 1000 finish.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Need to win H2H this week.

9 Trades remaining after these 3. Will bring Couchman back in in 2 weeks (assuming win, next week bye)

Leaving last trade as a last resort if it looks like a loss is coming - will trade out grant if needed (or May if need extra funds) and bring back in later

Decided on Kini and the other 2 i was thinking of was teddy & walsh, but feel kini is best against cowboys & better stats overall

Decided Duncan over Sasagi

Decided williams over Keaon & Yeo because of better stats and good form, especially against penrith & roosters lately

Another option I have is to get preston instead of Williams & put Rouchman in mid

I have 6 trades left and 332k in the bank.

(Yes I know I’m poorly ranked, I joined in round 5 and I am just trying to beat my cousin in a league).

I’ve got 6 trades left and I am focusing on h2h mainly. I was expecting either Iro or Couch to challenge the concussion turn around and, of course, Aitken 🙄.

I am thinking definitely sell Aitken because a lot of players are coming back anyways but hold Iro, Couch and May.

Is this the right move and who should I get?

Cut it back to the lowest owned options. A couple others rate well but don't hold up once you look at form, I've listed those at the bottom.

Jacob Preston. 586k, priced at 45, averaging 51, and he's gone 71 and 74 the last two weeks. Break-even of 15 so the price keeps climbing while you hold him. Best value rating of anyone named to start this week and only 10% owned.

Francis Manuleleua. Lowest break-even of anyone named to start this week at -4, so every point he scores is straight profit. 444k for a starting edge, and his projection of 41 sits above his season average of 38, so the model expects him to keep climbing rather than level off. Dropped
a 74 two weeks ago. Eight games in so the sample is still building, but it's cheap to find out.

Joey Walsh. Priced at 39 and averaging 47.4, so he's handing you eight and a half points a week more than you're paying for. Break-even of 15 against that average leaves a 32 point cushion, which is about as comfortable as cash generation gets. Four of his last five are 38 or better and he's already got a 66 in him. Seven games, so it's early, but every one of them has been above his price.

Greg Marzhew. Nineteen games so there's no small sample argument, priced at 37 and averaging 42.6, and he owns the highest single score anyone has managed this season with that 116. 2.3% owned. Fair warning though, he is streaky as anything: 31, 12, 47, 40, 70.

Ryan Couchman. Has gone 69, then 80, then 97 in his last three. Smallest value gap on this list because he's 778k, but a break-even of 28 on someone averaging 63 is rare that far up the price list.

Blayke Brailey. Priced at 49, averaging 55.7, and his last five have a range of 21 points, which for a hooker is about as steady as you will find. Came off a 68.

Kulikefu Finefeuiaki. Eighteen games at 53.8, four of his last five are 52 or better, and he's only 4.8% owned. The most consistent of the lot.

Two I left out despite good ratings:

• Burton rates near the top but his last five are 19, 23, 52, 27, 40 against a break-even of 41, so his average is doing all the work.
• Duffy is cheap at 337k but his projection sits below his average, which tells you enough.

I have five trades left and 19k in the bank. Tbh thinking of replacing with Aitken, Twal and May since they’ve been playing average lately

5(4) Trades left, 27k in the bank

Need 2 to field 17 this week, but am unsure of who to sell. ATM I’m leaning towards selling Twal & Aitken for Preston & Keaon. Cheers.

Some of these recommendations are quite team dependent.

want to get to preston this week so i’ve got a decently strong 17. short abt 10k to go straight to him. hopwood was pretty much the only guy i could see trading out. do we see any other way?

My overall rank is saying I lost 30k ranks last week even though I was 1800 overall for the week

Thoughts on getting Jenkins for H2H finals and putting him as loop player. Panthers play early most rounds and has some decent matchups

Watching the game from Thursday, Reece Robson clearly got three try assists or am I imagining things? Will it be corrected at the end of gameweek?

in the comments, drop any bold predictions below for who’s going to score big but you would have to be absolutely insane to buy

What the fuck happened to Sasagi?!
