A couple of Q's for @KLo30 and @7/11 or other NRL SC coaches.
1. J Hodgson or R Farah to replace W Egan?
Hodgson provides another number for RD12 and is attainable via a CHT or Xerri downgrade to Field or Hiroti
or grab Farah via Sivo to Herbert/Hiroti

2. Who to play in the 17 between B Ferguson, M Morgan, S Lane, P Haas, A Tolman, C Murray and S Burgess?
Leaning towards the quartet of Fergo, Burgo, Tolman and Murray.

Greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Eels at home, so Fergo. Tolman for consistency. Haas in good form. Burgess and Lane have dropped form of late, so Murray.

Cook and Farah will be the most popular Hooker combo to finish the year. Hodgson if you are low on round 12 players.

Arrow in doubt with a leg injury. After a training mishap today.

Thanks.

Currently have 15 players for RD12 (Egan,Tolman, Taupau, Arrow, Trbojevic, Taumalolo, Burgess, Murray, Lane, Cleary, Morgan, Ferguson, Gutherson, CNK and Sivo). Egan's unlikely and would assume 3-5 of those would play Origin which would decrease the RD12 numbers down to approx 10. If I grab Hodgson then after his bye/later on he would be turned into Cook/Farah.

Also with Arrow's injury concern would you bench him to play Haas.

I'll be playing Haas.

I think I'm going to punt Arrow this week to a round 12 player given SOO and injury concern.

I’d probably grab Farah. He’s going to score way more over time than Hodgson and has looked very good recently.

Arrow looks like being out apparently, so that will potentially solve one of your reserve issues. You seem to really underrate Haas, he’s averaging 70+ and is a young front rower who plays big minutes. I’d be taking him over Tolman.

Thanks. To afford Egan to Farah I have to trade Sivo to either Hiroti/Herbert/Whare whilst keeping CHT. Therefore would you still execute the move. Also Paperhuyzen will likely be traded to RTS and Hodgson will only be fielded in RD12 or when C Smith is injured/missing (if I select him).

Herbert probably the best option, as he has a little more job security than Hiroti who will likely make way for burns in the next 3 weeks. Dylan walker you could also look at if it makes you enough cash. He’s a potential cut price keeper.

Can't afford Walker this week if I grab Farah but i can bring Walker in for CHT next week.

Locked in my trades of
Out: W Egan, M Sivo
In: R Farah, P Herbert

Trading 2 RD12 players out but will trade Xerri and CHT to Hiroti and D Walker next round which will leave the bye structure as is as 2 rd12's will come in.

Near team completion with RTS/Moylan/T Trbojeivc to come in for Paperhuyzen, will try to bring Bateman in for Herbert later on and maybe Cherry-Evans/S Johnson for D Walker.

Magic number rises again this week, up from 8537 to 8664.

You can use this to calculate breakevens without needing to bombard the site asking others.

Current salary divided by magic number times 3 minus last two round scores.

e.g. Cook = (831700 / 8664 * 3 ) – 69 – 124 = 95

For some reason I thought we had 5 trades this round ?

looks like I have 12 players on the Bye

Cook , Murray , Tedesco , Trobojevic in NSW camp (Haas with the Bye)

Arrow , Papalii in Queensland camp ( Fifita , Munster , Ponga with the Bye)

might just move on to Round 13 ?

Score: 1176
Rd Rank: 31,577
Overall Rank: 20586 (from 19285)
0-50: B Ferguson, C Gutherson, E Marsters, R Farah, S Burgess, CNK
51-79: N Cleary, C Smith, A Fifita, M Taupau, A Tolman, J Trbojevic, B Nikora,
80+: J Taumalolo, K Ponga (C), C Murray, J Tedesco
Trades made: Out: M Sivo, W Egan, In: R Farah, P Herbert
Trades planned: Out: P Herbert, CHT, In: D Walker, C Cust
Comments: Disappointed with Farah on debut as well as some sub par scores from several premiums but very happy with my captaincy selection. To increase numbers for RD12 I'll likely trade P Herbert and CHT to D Walker and C Cust increasing my available players to 10. After the bye I'll likely bring RTS in for Paperhuyzen and thanks to Xerri's performance I should be able to grab DCE and J Bateman later in the season replacing D Walker and C Cust.

Ranked 26k, and as an NRL SC newbie, I have no idea how I should be tackling this bye / origin period. Looks like I only have 10 on the park this week before trades. Do I trade or just take a hit this round? Feels like I have plenty of trades left, but maybe I’m kidding myself! Team below, any advice appreciated.

Would keep your core players regardless and look to trade some of the maxed rookies/etc and not bother about the byes with players brought in instead preferring players you want for the run home.

An option could be J Hodgson out due to his injury for either his replacement S Havili increasing your remaining salary to 400,000 or you could trade him to C Smith/R Farah.

Or you could trade L Garner to V Kikau increasing your numbers for RD12 possibly allowing J Hodgson to C McInnes with the remaining cash.
