Can't decide who I want to trade for Inu. Need ideas/logic on who to trade for... anyone?

My options are Hodges, Turner, Robertson... around that price range.
My other option is to leave it a week and see if Folau is going to drop dramatically so I can pick him up instead at the end of the third round.
I can't see myself being that patient though... I'm greedy for points!


Why not Reddy, cheap, will rise, will play, good under the high ball against Manu, Warriors will miss Price dearly, Eels play Newcastle the following week!!

I'm not counting the Warriors out this week... dunno if that's being slightly bias but I think they'll be strong for their first home game and want to make up for what could've been last week.

I think it'll be a very close game.

I've bought in Turner anyway... he may drop in price but he's bound to bring in the points. Reddy on the other hand is a risk... although if I had less cash to play with, he'd definitely be near the top of my list for all the reasons you've given.

i don't think the eels are over the line but at this stage of the season you want t be picking up the cheapest players you can that you know will rise after week three and as you only get two trades a week this is the best time of the year to get those bargains.

Remember Reddy with two tries and two wins in the first three rounds will likely rise more than Turner with three tries and three wins as Turner costs so much more. i reckon copping the odd loss early in the year is bearable if it positions you better for the run home and some of the big guns will drop in value even if their teams win the first three games. If Falou doesn't score this week or next he will drop a fair bit and those that got him early will have done their dough!

I'm so annoyed....

The 4 teams I rely on each week all lose.

Melb
Manly
NQld
Parra

At least I got a Folau try, Harris, Aitken, Grothe.

I still have Hodgson and Prince to come with Titans, but I fear it may not be enough to win my league game.

Nooo! The guy I'm playing has him haha.

I'm hoping Prince will get some try time!....and maybe throw Hodgson in there too lol.

I'm looking forward to this game, should be good. I could easy go and watch it if I wanted, rather chill at home though with good food/beverages/comfort. Smile

Gold Coast were weak and just gave up like a bunch of bad sports soon as they were more than 1 try down..Rogers had a shocker..

Someone help me....

Who should I trade Brett Stewart out for? Should it be Gidley? Or maybe Joel Reddy? Because Reddy can be picked as a fullback.....

Gidley is on a score of 22 and he is valued at 267k.....
Reddy is on a score of 14 and he is valued at 167k....

I'm just not sure, looking for a good combination of money making and also getting good points for the upcoming round....

I would imagine Reddy is the better option as he has 3 tries to Gidleys 1, should rocket in value , and is in top form!

Thanks. And Eels are at home to the Knights too, so hopefully Reddy has the better chance of getting another 2 pts compared to Gidley. Although Knights are in some good form!

Definetely get Reddy, is that because he plays on the wing? Wingers get majority of trys don't they?

Reddy played on the Wing while Hayne was out and is currently playing in the centres.
Still, he will rise a fair amount as he is quite cheap. Definite bargain... and the Eels play the Knights at home this weekend.

Nice nice.

What about Brett Hodgson from the Tigers? He is cheaper than Reddy and has 4 more points too, 162k and on 18 pionts so far.

Also Tigers have Bulldogs this week, even though away from home Tigers could still snatch a victory.....

Hodgson kicks too doesn't he? So he would continue to pick up points and raise in value as he is relatively lowly priced......

He's playing this weekend? Looked pretty groggy when they took him off the field in the weekend.
Can't see him scoring as many tries as Reddy but he does do the kicking for the Tigers.
Tigers/Dogs should be a close one.

Have just made my swaps.

Glen Stewart ---> Mateo
Turner ---> Reddy (frees up a lot of cash too - will be able to trade Chambers for someone decent next week as well as bring in someone else worth a bit more $$$).
