Jayman's team! (going for league win)

[Jay]

Can't ya take Mummy & Thompson?

nope. Mummy & NDS could work...Roughy & Judd is another good combo IMO

And dont forget, I could just do redden > jacobs then wait for say NDS to fall into the high 400 - low 500 price bracket.

[Jay]

redden > mumford & shiel > NDS

Thoughts?

[Braddles10]

How freaked out are you by having 6 trades left?? Because, even though i said yesterday to risk it for the biscuit and go Mummy and NDS, if you wanted to, you could always this week go Devon Smith >> Tom Couch (or someone at 94k with dpp who may play in the future) and then go Redden to Mumford. This would leave you enough money to get any mid in the comp next week if you trade out Shiel. The only thing is it would leave 3 trades, and you've probably still got to make at least 2 upgrades. But personally, i think the likes of Ellis/Spur/Darley are good enough to ride out as D7 at least till finals, and the same with Zorko as F7.

How much better would your midfield look with:

ablett pendlebury selwood boyd priddis jobe.

as apposed to:

ablett pendlebury selwood boyd priddis NDS.

Just my thoughts.

thanks mate!  actually a bit freaked out about having 6 trades (4 after this week)...tthrrefore i think ill hold the EllisDarleyShaw combo as D7 until finals anyway! so i only need another ruck & fwd...personally Mumford & NDS is the best combo

[Braddles10]

Yeah I agree, if that's the case, go for it, I reckon Mummy will start to fire sooner rather than later, considering jumping on myself!

[Jay]

cmon charliesheen pipe up mate ;)

redden & shiel > mumford & nds

lock it in?

[Jay]

OKAY GUYS, HELP NEEDED...WHAT COMBO?

mumford & nds
roughead & judd
just jacobs, and wait for prem. mid to drop

[Ringo]

Just Jacobs for me if that is the trade you want and wait for prem drop.

[Jay]

Just Jacobs for me if that is the trade you want and wait for prem drop.

my only concern with that is shiel dropping as well??? He has a BE of 100 so will drop this week.

would be a disaster if i have to do another downgrade in order to gain so little

that's why im leaning towards doing the trade while I can (mumford & NDS)

[Jay]

Went with redden & shiel > mumford & nds!

Yes it's risky but i was so unsure in the end, so i went with my gut! Fingers crossed :)

Already got next week's trade sorted...s.shaw/darley/ellis > yarran

This would give me 3 trades and a completed team! Yarran is a great D7 imo...at 257k with a BE of 25...straight swap for a rookie 8)

[Jay]

Score: 2101
League ranking: 1

I'm now a game clear, top of my league, due to equal first suffering a loss...last weeks trades were redden & shiel OUT > mumford & nds IN...im happy with mummy, looked good on saturday...picked nds in the wrong week tho  :-\

team at full strength
3k.    4trades.     League(1)
Goddard deledio shaw broughton johnson scotland shaw <ellis darley>
Ablett pendles boy selwood priddis dal-santo <gibson dsmith>
Mumford giles <campbell orren>
Buddy sidebottom dangerfield martin cloke zaharakis zorko <milera adams>

Obviously a D7 is necessary hence this weeks trade plans...ellis > yarran!?!? Yarran could average 90-odd for rest of year, more than enough for a D7, and being a straight swap for a rookie...im in :D

[Jay]

Thoughts on ellis > yarran?

[roo boys!]

I'd say do it. Yarran at that price is tempting. He is high risk vs high reward but if he plays like he did on Friday then it will be a masterstroke!

Zaha still a few weeks away is worrying.

Any further thoughts? Ringo? Charlieshen?
