Smith
Arrow, Rochow
Whitehead, Jurbo, Murray
Doueihi, Croker
Isaako, Hiku
Ponga, Teddy, Thompson
Cook, Griffin, RFM, Kikau
Lodge, TPJ, Havili, Kennar
281K ITB
Upgrading Halves: As much as i believe Cameron is a long term hold and will pull it together, he is the only person under performing on my team. Letting him go allows me to even out my team. I have tried a number of combinations already but the most profitable trade is getting rid of him unfortunately.
basically, i'm looking for someone to offer a second opinion on if the ultimate net loss on trading smith out this week after losing 102k is worth in the long run, considering i keep the midrange guys like Rochow, Lodge, Griffin, TPJ and allow them to see maximum profits?
for context i am thinking of going cameron and doueihi to DCE and Matterson/Mbye
Arrow, Rochow
Whitehead, Jurbo, Murray
Doueihi, Croker
Isaako, Hiku
Ponga, Teddy, Thompson
Cook, Griffin, RFM, Kikau

I'm glad mannering is starting off the bench, hopefully low minutes this round and then we get a couple weeks of falls while looking at how the first choice forward pack of the ladder leaders settles.
Could be the year mannering takes the mantle of being the true set and forget captain if he gets back to 80min in the middle.

The problem I have is I don't have enough in the bank to upgrade to anyone worthwhile and all of my cows haven't peaked yet. If I leave Smith in my team I have to play one of Doueihi,Croker or JMK with DCE which I'm not overly keen on. People's thoughts on Koro are making me second guess myself but it also allows me to move from a slow burn cash cow in Croker to a potentially fast moving one in JFH. I'm so undecided lol with lockout not fair away arghh what do I do?

Torn between bringing in Arrow or Murray. My head says Murray but my gut is screaming Arrow is the better long term choice....

I decided to go MBye because he is even cheaper than Koroisau, lets you see what happens with JFH and the Panthers group. Gives you more cash, and potentially a long term WFB keeper depending on your squad.

Firstly, its of course impossible to answer this question because you have to make a number of assumptions. So you've gotta run through some scenarios and figure it out. Too tough for me to do cause there are a whole ton of permutations to work through.
But the obvious thing for me re your team is that you have $281k in the bank and 2 good scorers outside of your 17. Thats alot of points on the sidelines. You also have Whitehead in there who I personally think has probably peaked. If you are looking for alternatives to trading Smith out, I'd look to turn Whitehead and Croker/Doueihi into Maloney and DCE, then shift Lodge up into your starting 17. I reckon that increases your score for the week by 50 points at least.
The alternative of trading Smith out (that you added) I reckon grabs you 30 more points but you lose that chance to have one more look at Cam.

Honestly there is no difference. You want both end of year. Both should score 60+ this week. Arrow's BE is 8, Murray's BE is 14.

Reading the Eels forums you get a gauge on how split the team really is. I think they are really missing Radradra as he got them out of trouble so often & scored some brilliant tries. People saying BA doesn't like Norman, Moses & Norman both want to be the dominant half & playing their way, Evans not well liked, a small pack that gets bossed, BA wanting to change the way Brown plays & Brown not liking it. But the biggest criticism is how Hayne has affected the balance of the team just to fit him in.

I would suggest dropping a non-performing expensive player and getting both this week. They will both only get more expensive each week and you will be missing the points each week too.

I'm dropping Thurston for one of them but I also need to drop Cartwright which leaves me not much wiggle room. Picking up Maloney instead and grabbing one of the two as the other trade. Unless I keep cartwright for a week and drop somebody else but that feels not so great.

So on all of this. Glad you agree on Koro, I think he could be a solid 40-50 point player, but in the HLF's he is weaker than the rest.
On Cherry-Evans, if you told me right now I have the 3rd best HLF end of year in my team. While the first best half is out for the year. I take it, hell I would take it even without Cleary being out. Simply because you can't have the top scorer in every position. Having the 3rd best is fine by me, and I wouldn't trade him out.
SJ is injured, which is my big worry. I think you have talked me out of Johnson, to get him cheaper and grab a Rd 13 player.
Out of those you listed...
Mbye is the only bloke I really like. The rest can be too inconsistent, aren't doing as good as last year or injury concerns as well.
So... Should I grab Johnson instead of Mbye. I mean, it could mean MBye ends up being a WFB keeper come end of year.
I may have confused this. I just tried to throw the other side of the story against you like you asked for. Personally I like bringing them both in.
Love that you are happy with DCE. Agree he is a great choice. I really had to work hard for some minor negatives there.
As for Johnson vs Mbye.
Johnson is definitely a keeper. Mbye could be. Both have a bye in rd 13. Both are doing their teams goalkicking (when uninjured). Both don't have a lot of cash to gain and even likely have some to lose. I have more fun watching Johnson than i do Mbye. SJ will likely average more than Mbye but Mbye is 208k cheaper than Johnson. SJ seems to be injured more than Mbye. Mbye is more versatile with DPP.
Neither guy is the wrong choice but to me it comes down to team balance and who you like more.
Personally I'm playing Maloney into SJ (timing should work well). But I am cash poor and have worse halves than you do (Croker and Carty only.....Croft was dissapointing). I also have a back three of TTurbo, Ponga and Tedesco so Mbye isn't helpful there.

Nichols, Havili, Douhi or Maloney for last spot in 17? You'd have to go Maloney suuuurely.

If you think Maloney is worth trading in and out again, he needs to be worth playing as well
