Cheers mate. That sneaky little alcohol friend.

Agree the mid-rangers are my next few steps to take care of, but surprised you'd think of doing that now rather than moving on from McCullough. If I upgrade Rochow to Murray, I'm spending most of my cash and would only have $549k to spend in trying to upgrade Isaako. Not enough for Aitken, Mitchell or Dugan to really strengthen the CTR position. So I don't really save a trade as whoever I bring in for Isaako would also be only a stepping stone.

So I guess my options are:

1) Macca to Smith and Rochow to Dugan. Gives me a better CTR, moves Isaako out of my 17. Gets the cash increase of Dugan.
2) Macca to Smith and Rochow to Murray. Leaves my CTRs looking crap, but upgrades my 4th Interchange spot from Havili to Murray.

Does anyone have any updates on how long McCullough is meant to be out? 4-6 weeks was the original prognosis I believe.

I got the day off with no plans mate so I'll have a squizz.

I'm just going to start with a list of trades and the order of priority I'd have them in and then we can flesh it out from there.

Croker, Doughy (if named on bench), Kennar, Isaako/Havilii, Nicholls and potentially Widdop (depending on how you rate him).

Ideally, you want to be buying high and selling low. So with that in mind (and the homework you've already done) it would suggest that now is definitely the time to get off Croker. As for who for, it's up to you, but personally, I'd be wanting to generate some cash. All of your bench cows are towards the top end of their ratio. And you need to build some bank with the thought of bringing in some guns in the next month. Maybe you should look at Cogger (risky as hell though as we've recently been discussing) although there are others out there that may be worthwhile as well. Everyone at this price has an element of risk but there is upside to each. Sorenson, Nat Butcher, whoever comes in for Parker at Manly (likely one of the Wrights)or Gelling.

Not saying any one of those players would be a great pick up but each has potential upside, is in the bottom price bracket and should make money, unlike Croker who is set to lose money. Question is, will they make enough to justify the trade?

Not sure if been posted already but this makes me want to keep him.

I would too. I'm 30k short of cashing out to him (in order to get Fifita)..

hmm.. could look at someone slightly cheaper than fifita....

Smith (c)
Kikau Arrow
JTurbo, Rochow, Murray
DCE JMK
Hiku Aitken
Ponga, TTurbo, Isaako

Cook, JFH, Havili, RFM
Su'a, Gossie, LCroker, Katoa

I have 350K. I am absolutley torn between Matterson and Fifita in for Rochow. Any help here would be great. I might go LCroker for Cogger merely because LCroker isn't doing anything.

Ultimately, im looking to justify bringing in (Back) Smith for Surgess. Means I don't have to play both Havili and Nichols for next two weeks.

So far ive locked:

Harris to Aitken
Surgess to Smith

As im typing this im feeling this is sideways, despite the fact it will improve this weeks score.

Oh god I need help.
