If Haas injury were to occur I would have SST/Taupau to cover and then Burns,850K (probably Matterson or Jurbo) to come onto the bench? Mann would only be cover if i were to lose a hlf but even still I could chuck Ponga/Drinkwater up to HLF and play Burns at WFB.

I see the problem with running with 0 trades for the last 5 weeks and I don't want to sound like I am not taking anyones advice because I am and I really value everyones opinion and thoughts but I would rather finish with a strong 18-19 players and 0 trades and plenty of cover and hope I stay safe for 5 weeks, rather than finish with an ok 15-16, shitballs 17-21 and have 2 trades just in case.

Not a fan of Butcher yet aye, needs a more concrete spot/minutes. I did tickle the idea of getting Arey this week but I kind of think no chance in getting inside top 250-200 and I would have plenty of cover to cover for any short term injuries or suspensions with players who are not full nufties. Will only have 0 trades from R21-25 so I am happy with that.

The beauty of this game is we all have our own strategy and opinions and no one really knows what is right until it has already happened

Whichever way you go best of luck mate

Thanks mate, I really value what you say and your thoughts. Everyone around here seems to really listen to you when you speak mate and I know what I am doing is probably the wrong thing and will probably backfire I just can't see any other way other than finishing with a shit 16/17/18/19 and bugger all cover or finish with a strong 19 with 2 x NPRs and cover everywhere and 0 trades for the last 5 games.

In the last 5 weeks Butcher’s minutes have been 50, 62, 68, 50, 80 for a 5 game average of 54.8 (keeper level)
Also has a 3 game average of 61.3

Friend has also been missing all year with Radley playing Hooker. Butcher has been playing Radleys role. In the 1 game Friend, Radley and Butcher have all played together (R17) butcher played 30 minutes off the bench. I agree he has really benefited from origin and injury but Roosters are starting to get all their big players back... Expect Butcher's minutes to probably drop.

Putting up 1PPM 50’s off the bench shows the upside that made me trade him in, but he is also my most likely trade out target for Cook as I don’t think he can keep that volume of scoring up

If he moves back to the edge and starts playing 80 again he could be a huge end of season POD

If you had to trade one of Crichton, Murray, Matterson, Twal or Taupau for Cook who would you move on?

The thing is I have actually spent so much time going over a fair few different scenarios. The only other way that would benefit me that I have found would be to bypass Fainu. Go Xerri/Watson > Arey/Burns this week and then Martin > 700K. Would leave 1 trade, no money and a Twal/Crichton as my 17th man.

I definitely prefer this option

You can look at it like you are essentially trading Twal/Crichton to Matterson/Jturbo. I don’t think that is worth the trade

Butcher has been mentioned if he gets his minutes, Crichton an outside chance to continue keeper level scores... Maumalo scoring tries for fun... Ese'ese maybe locked down a starting spot with good minutes?
