    I am indeed Rounders&Grinders... also Dean Pelton and Phil's United are 2 of my mates that were interested in the TS/TG concept, so they joined. I'll get them to make a T.S. account as well.

    Awesome team selection, i've never been in the top league before, this is great!</blockquote>

    Cool. Good on you Achilles. Get them to post in here once they're signed up. And tell them how good the newsletter is too.

    Ha great work with initial team selection guys, Number 1! Think it beat my 'real' team by a couple of points. Now let the fun begin with strategies and trades!

    Anybody thinking of making an early move this week?

    Broughton > Yarran
    Lake > Dempsey

    Might grab yourself a 50 point buffer for the next couple weeks. Risky move? If it pays off could get you a nice little head start to the season.

    Been pondering this all week, but i just don't (have the balls & don't) wanna burn my trades too early like i always seem to do.

    Anyone else pondering an early move?

    @warskaen - i seem to remember anthak was bold early last year and he tok the biccies!

    Remember - its your second team and the focus is overall only so why not aim to burn your trades by rd13/14/15/16 if you can get a lead on the pack !!

    I DARE YOU TO !

    I'be been contemplating a similar thing!!! and been thinking that leaders last year did trade hard and early! but still haven't brought myself to do it. Well actually I did do it and then reversed it straight away!

    I could also see those two trades losing you points.
    I don't think Dempsey will score 12 touch 98's that often
    If Broughton gets unleashed into the midfield he will score huge, he was on like 31 at qtr time then had to play a lockdown role.
    I could see those two trades backfiring quite easily, but fortune favours the brave.

    It would be quite funny if at the pointy end of the season, the top 100 contesting for the 50k were made up TS trading game teams

    The core squad is again doing pretty well so I would expect the leagues should still be highly ranked after week 2

    Crawf is having a blinder which should help league 3

    I see you went Broughton -> Birchall. Haven't noticed anyone else making an early trade yet. I bloody spudded it with Cox as capt this week.

    Crawf scored more than what was possible with our 30 - not considering any early trades though

    yep didn't enjoy the broughton roller coaster last year so bit the bullet let my itchy finger do some work so I wasnt tempted in my normal team. had to go lake to mohr to afford it though so short term wasn't a good move but hopefully long term it will pay off!!

    also saw someone with scott selwood not jwood. will double check who. not sure if they've made the trade or started with the wrong duckwood from the start and we missed it last week.

    I saw that scott selwood move too, I didn't think they may have picked the wrong one from the start! lmao

    What a good mistake/decision!

    Now we got some catching up to do!

    Also, noticed a few more trades

    Team Rattling Mudguards
    Lake -> Mohr
    Joel Selwood -> Scott Selwood (possibly an original team error)

    Rounders&Grinders (Achillies)
    Lake -> Mohr
    Miles -> Greene

    HotRods (TheTassieHawk)
    Lake -> Mohr

    Joe's CrownJulz (Julz88 ie me)
    Lake -> Mohr
    Broughton -> Birchall

    let us know if you made any we didn't spot!
    Wars maybe you want to stick up a ladder just for the round 2 scores? I'm pretty sure you said you were entering that into your excel? My spreadsheet is just for overall.

    Thanks for the updates Julz

    Would be interesting to know who the rattling mudguards are so we could ask if they traded in SS, or started with him by accident.
