If you guys are down to 13 trades and considering cash outs you are in a lot of trouble.

I have 20 trades left still.

Well not really, my trade plan is set and being adhered too. Lamb is on the list to be downgraded as only running two halves in final 17.

Thinking if Cleary plays well and keeps his spot then he could be an interesting option as 18th man.

Not saying I haven't made a bunch of mistakes and a heap of stupid trades BUT, will you have your end of year team all done in the next 7 trades??

I should put that another way so I learn more. How any trades does one aim to have left after getting their full squad together to be used to deal with injuries/suspensions for the rest of the year?

I'm not far from a final team - after the necessary trades to get there I'm planning on having 7 left for injuries....We'll see how that pans out

Lamb for Pearce
or
Bateman for anyone in FRF/2nd Row.

I can't guarantee anything but you just need to type his name into the Twitter search bar to see there's a lot of mail around him debuting tonight.

Cheers mate! I think I'll have a crack with him. At worst it sounds like he could be a cash out that offers a few bye round points for me (including this round) so fits the bill.

I might just wait to see if Hughes, Bowen, Asiata and/or PatMat play tonight though. If one of them does then I might hold off for a week.

Any news on C Scott?

Hmmm I was gonna trade out Parker but I'll keep him. Can still punch out 50 in 60 minutes.

& How are you going to combat injuries and players being rested into the lead up to the finals ?

See people making the same mistakes every year.

OK, cool, thanks for that. At best I think I can get an average final team together with 5 trades left. I don't think thats too bad given some of the ridiculous things I did earlier in the season!

Who me?

I would have to have crazy luck (so the reality is I won't be able to deal with all that), but again, its my first year so I am happy to put this one down as a learning curve and just do as best I can. So you'll have your final squad with 13 trades left?

Is Pearce out?

If so for how long?

Didn't last year's winner that posted on here PGC run out 5-6 weeks early?

Only 2 (Roberts and Mannering) plus a possible AE (Ese'ese)

Already dropped 440 places I see more after this.

www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/injuries-rule-mitchell-pearce-and-boyd-cordner-out-of-sydney-roosters-team-to-face-wests-tigers-20160603-gpb4yd.html
"Sydney Roosters have suffered a double blow for Sunday's match against Wests Tigers at Allianz Stadium with halfback Mitchell Pearce and second-rower Boyd Cordner ruled out  by injury.
Pearce strained a calf  at training while Cordner is likely to be sidelined for up to a month with a foot injury sustained in Wednesday night's opening State of Origin match at ANZ Stadium.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson is yet to decide who will replace Pearce at halfback but the injury may provide Jackson Hastings with a reprieve after he was named to play for Wyong in the NSW Cup for the second week in a row, although Connor Watson is already on the bench."

How long is a hammy strain recovery? Couple weeks at most?

Well I sold Holland instead of K Niko so here goes nothing. Holland will probably score more but I feel like Niko has a better chance of hitting his BE and hopefully plays decent mintues with McGuire not playing too long backing up from Origin.

I'm no expert but I reckon by now you should have at least a 'plan', know what moves you like to make and get out of the bye rounds with your final 17.

I'll be happy if I have 4 trades then. Plus probably something like barba and tolman as 18/19.

I will have six trades left for run in. Same as I did last year no different, when I finished top 1000.

If that set doesn't prove how shit the Warriors are then I don't know what does. Bloody hell.

Thaiday having a bludge.
