No interest in Ponga?

Same dilemma, but I'd add Latrell and Ponga into considerations.

SJ - DCE
AFB - cheapie

A few cheap options I'm liking;

Kobe - Looks the safest with a solid starting spot.  Minutes aren't the best but solid 30 pointer if needed.

Talakai - Could be the best at his price depending on how long Wilton is out for.  Some info on him would be good.  Scores the 2 weeks before have been horseshit though.

Trindall - Looking like the more dominant playmaker especially now with SJ out.   Moylan back I don't think hurts Trindall's output at all.  It probably still increases even with Moylan there over Tracey.

Schoupp - Looks more confident and his base is increasing.  Plays for the Dogs though.

Sexton - Worth a shot if Taylor gets dropped for him when Fog returns.

problem is, I may have to play the cheapie if Fog isn't back, unless I give Verrills a run.  Leaves 3 trades and;

Brailey
Haas Tolo IPap
Fifita CHN
DCE Hynes
Manu Bird
Ted To'o Walsh

Watson Crichton Fog Burton

Verrills Peach Laurie Cheapie

Actually, makes my bench look shit.  I'm sure some will be worse off than me.  Hmmm.....or I skip DCE and go Doueihi and Friz or a combo like that.  Need DCE though I think.

I haven't seen anything but he's had surgery so I'm guessing he's out for a while.  Just speculating he's out really.  Yeah, DCE looking like Cleary 2.0 at the moment.  I need at least one Manly player too as they are carving up.

So I have two options

Option 1
- 3 trades left
- SJ to Cook
- 2 trades left
- 1 of those trades will be on Hynes > anyone around his price range once he's bumped from fullback. Can get the likes of Crichton, Mahoney, Murray etc. so team is well rounded
- 1 trade left for injury/suspension

Option 2
- 3 trades left
- Trade 1: Hynes to someone around the 550k mark... options being Latrell, Rapana, Radley (been huge last 3 weeks)
- SJ to DCE as a big gun upgrade
- 1 trade left for injury/suspension

Thoughts on what sounds better from a scoring perspective? Pretty much Cook + Crichton or DCE + Radley (if I go with those options)

Bit of a gamble, but it's hard to go past Option 2 if Radley can keep this up.

option 2 by far IMO, but then leaving 1 trade is risky.
