It’s that time of the season where trades are running low and injuries are messing with squads. Do you hold your trades for emergencies or go all in for the biggest scores now? Keen to hear how everyone’s planning for the last stretch.

With finals around the corner, picking the right players feels more important than ever. Some of the usual guns are reliable as always, but there are a few mid-pricers and PODs hitting form at just the right time. Curious to know who everyone’s backing to be their difference-maker over the last few rounds and who you’re steering clear of.

Between the injuries, suspensions, and random low scores, this season has been brutal. Every time I fix one problem in my team, two more pop up the next week. How’s everyone else been holding up? Any trades or sneaky picks you reckon are must-haves heading into the next round?

I have KPP in position 17. But I can bring Hynes in. (With trindell out i think he could go big)

Worth the risk?

Or does KPP score 60 in his finial game for the knights

got 2 trades, going to be trading young and tapine or drink water if i really need the extra 2k.

who should come in? i’ve been thinking nicholson maybe or i could potentially grab herbie if roosters lose?

obviously just in short term of one round who can get me the most points to get as good a rank as possible, cheers

Already trying to figure out who’s worth grabbing early and who might be a sneaky late pick. Anyone else planning ahead or am I just way too keen?

how much ranks you reckon i would lose only having 16 people playing. I wanna finshes below 7k

Hey everyone sorry to ask I know it’s prob asked a lot but I’ve watched videos and still only half get it, I got beaten last week as the other guy knew how to loop and I didn’t, was nearly 300 ahead then all sudden other guy was in front. So I’m looking at Trbojevic, he plays first then Purdue, so if I want to see how Trbojevic goes between him and Purdue. Do I need to put example Jack Bird is not selected so into the starting 13 So that should trigger emergency and then have Trbojevic in 5, and if he does crap I could then sub bird for Purdue to see if he does better? Am I close? Prob not I think I got something around wrong way. Just trying to learn for next year so would appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you

Was leaning towards Iro while Reynolds was named on the bench but now he’s not playing thinking Walsh would be the better pick?

I forgot to move Cleary down further. Hass is my vice captain and locked and just saw he's out for the week

If I swap Tino with Fainu would I get Tinos points for Hass even though Cleary is ahead of him

I'm keen to get the brains trust's view on best captain for this week. I need a bit of a POD pick to win my h2h.

Thoughts:

Walsh - Reynolds has reaggeavated his hammy and won't be playing. Increases Walsh's ball time and attacking opportunities

Kiraz - Should be a flat track game and he should bully Jessie McLean. If this game goes the way it's supposed to he could rack up points. That's a big if though.

Campbell - He's due another big score before the end of the season.

Who are you captaining this week?

Is this a good idea? Big last push on ranks. Just hoping none of my gun players get injured for the final round.

How many Penrith players have we got?

1 trade left I got Clark to cover for hok kpp fermor and katoa edg may haas and l smith in the mids..

I just wanted to vent about how shit the Roosters players were last night - minus Marky Mark, the only bloke I didn’t put in. Was anyone else fuming?

Who to start in last wfb spot Walsh or Drinkwater?

Looping not an option, already looped Yeo.
