Ringos Team Thread 2024

[Mat0369]

Rozee is the one I have had my eye on for a M9 spot, he makes total sense at his price and fingers crossed next week he should be cheap enough to be able to grab for someone like Freijah.

I don't like Simpkin as an option, last week was his only big score and they were playing WC. He also kicked the match winner which is all the extra bonus points. It's not like he is super cheap either, he is still 361k and if you're going to spend that much I think there are some better options. I like Peatling if he is named, he has scored extremely well when avoiding the vest, the vest is the worry though. Burgoyne is a little more expensive, but I'd be trading him back in before I trade in Simpkin. Chapman is the other bye friendly defensive option but he isn't going to set the world on fire and you have a solid backline.

Simpkin is a late out

Simpkin is a late out

I just saw that, need a quick fix, not sure but maybe grab a round 15 player if numbers are good this week.

[Bully]

Fortunately I'm not in the Simpkin boat but I reckon I'd roll the dice on McMullin and hope he's not sub.

[Bully]

McMullin sub, so if you're still able to trade maybe Toby Greene at 412k?

[Ringo]

Sorry was out at a lunch and missed the Simpkin news and could not reverse trade, Will be interesting next week as if Simpkin out may struggle for 18 players had 21 this week prior to Simpkin out. Should pass 2000 as I have both Green and Houston to come.

Great week but gee weren't mids a lottery.

Not sure of trades this week but will have to get 18 playing at the moment 17 including Simpkin. Sullivan and Harrison are 2 to go but wll wait on teams and extent of Simpkins injury.

[Mat0369]

That's a pretty great week, awesome work!

Looking at your team you still probably want 2 mids, 1 forward and don't have a lot of trades. Schoenmaker is one to consider for the backline, same goes with Worner. Both could be decent rookies down the stratch that provide coverage. You may be able to get away with Lohmann and Simpkin covering down the stretch, it's not ideal, but it may be the option.

Rozee has been disappointing and has dealt with multiple injuries, but he may be a perfect option for that M8 spot. He will probably drop a bit more in cash, but you could look at something like Harrison to Schoenmaker/Worner and you should have the cash to turn Sullivan into Rozee. That should give you 18 for the week and fill a spot while leaving you about 60k to play with.

[Ringo]

Thank you - Need playing rookies this week especially if Simpkin out. If Simpkin out will only have 16.

Initial thoughts looking at rookies are Harrison/Sullivan to one of Hutchinson, Worner, Rawlinson depending on teams named and Rozee.

Rozee still has cash to make and as much as I like Lohmann think he may have maxed out.  So looking at this trade

Sullivan, Harrison and Lohman to Hutchinson, Salem and Caldwell. Trusting no injuries for a few rounds and sit on 3 trades,

[Colliwobblers]

That's a great round well done.

Salem is looking good.

That trade looks good as long as you can still get Rozee next week. He's sure to bounce back if finally fit and I can't see there being better value.

Port were horrible hence the epic mess Houston had to clean up to your immense joy no doubt :)

[Ringo]

Green to Rozee may be a straight swap.

[Ringo]

OK with the announcement that Kynan Brown will play

2 trades Harrison to Brown and Sullivan to Salem.

If Simpkin does not get up then maybe use 3rd trade Dawson to Worner if named.  have 19 with Simpkin so maybe trade not necessary.
Bench not strong but with DPP can cover 4 lines Richards should return next week or the following week, Fisher and Dawson can swing as to can Brown.

Leaving this has the semi finished team. 4/3 trades depending on whether Dawson traded.  Hoping for to not trade for a few weeks but probably wishful thinking.



Update: With Simpkin being named only doing the 2 trades have 19 now playing and even if Brown sub still have 18.

Rd 15 Team:



Good week this week but still a few disappointments.
Good: Sheezel, Houston, Stewart.Gulden, Neal, Merrett, Serong, Green, Simpkin, Gawn, Flanders (C), Heeney, Zorko, Fisher
Average: Ryan
Bad: Captain choice although only costing 18 points chosing Flanders over Merret after Gawn VC.
Ugly: Salem, Jackson, Lohmann (injured) Brown (sub although nice score for TOG)

Reasonable effort over the byes with ranking going from 35,060 to 19,200 so really can not complain. Now to get under 10k and salvage something from this disastrous season.

Waiting on teams and injury reports so may not trade, Was initially set to trade Lohmann to Caldwell but after the round 9k short and do not think doing 2 trades with only 4 left is not wise,

If I had the Gonads could do these trades Salem to Rozee and Lohmann to Caldwell leaving 2 trades for injuries etc and 24k cash

[Mat0369]

That's a damn good score. With Lohmann injured he makes the most sense to move on. I'd probably just do him to Rozee and move Simpkin into the forward line as your F6 for now.

Agree, great round and with that one trade your looking pretty set.
