You would have expected Watson to get benched for SMat after the 15 Mins HIA. Watson did have a great game, maybe they kept him on the field because of that?

Current Team:
Cook
Fifi Haas
Taupau Murray Tolo
Cleary Mann
Xerri Nikora
Teddy CNK Ponga
CM9 Tolman JFH Martin
Arey Brittain Dearden Sivo

231K and 11 trades

I think I have found my formula for the next 3 weeks. I have based this off my expected averages on MTB’s site so might be off a little. Also might depend on whether the cows are 212-228K

This rounds trades
JFH > Smith
Tolman > Bateman
Sivo > O’Sullivan
11K and 8 trades remaining

R15 Trades
Dearden > R16 cow (212K)
roughly 147K and 7 trades remaining

R16 Trades
Martin > R16 cow (212K)
CNK > R16 Gun/Keeper around 650-700K (Twal/SST/Kbrom)
roughly 287-337K and 5 trades remaining

R17 Trades
Mann and O’Sullivan to two players worth roughly 1,242,000 to 1,272,000K
Players of Interest: Munster/Turbo/Wighton/SJ/RTS (Boom/Bust type player preferable one WFB and one HLF/DPP.
Leaves 3 trades from R18 to 25 which isn’t good.

Team would be
HOK: D.Cook
FRF: A.Fifita P.Haas
2RF: M.Taupau C.Murray J.Taumololo
HLF: N.Cleary A.Reynolds
CTR: J.Bateman B.Nikora
WFB: J.Tedesco K.Ponga T.Trbojevic
BENCH: C.Smith C.McInnes S.Taukeiaho NPR
EMG: B.Xerri Boom/Bust player NPR NPR

3 trades is not leaving much for injuries etc. but it is the best I can do I think.

Yeah mate, thats the sort of process I go through.

My face-value thoughts are:
Cash does seem to be an issue so I'd avoid Robinson at this point (seems like you have already though).

3 trades is fine for the run home, in fact I think 2 or 3 is probably the target number if you want to max your final ranking position but still have a bit of a safety net.

Hold on the Dearden trade until round 16, you will have more certainty that the guy you are brining in actually plays.

Not sure about O'Sullivan mate. $500k for a bit of an unknown. I'd explore Watson as an option (that you plan to trade out after 16) or in the absence of news I'd actually favour trading out ARey. You could also shif Ponga to the halves and use Sivo as a third WFB this week. The whole ARey thing could be a killer if he is out for a while. Its a gamble wither way, but at least one way you can take the ball into your court, the other relies on a massive unknown.

Im a big fan of the Bateman and Smith trades this week - but as above, I'd look at an alternative way to afford them, cough cough ARey Maybe ARey to Watson/RTS/SST etc...

Just some ideas and thoughts mate, GL.
