I'm pretty sure I want to go Hess > Robson for my 1st trade this week, I just need a little bit of help deciding which option for the 2nd trade

A. B Smith > Hunt

Pros: I get a potential 60+ scorer and a gun half who is extremely undervalued
Cons: Smith can still make cash and I would have to play HTF in my 17

B. B Smith > RTS

Pros: I get a gun WFB who is undervalued, I can play Field/Fogarty in my 17 over HTF
Cons: RTS will probably score roughly 10 (possibly more) points less than Hunt and like before Smith can still make cash

C. Latrell > RTS

Pros: I get an extra player in my squad for the next 2 weeks, I get a gun WFB who is undervalued, don't have to play HTF in my 17
Cons: I lose a gun centre and have no centre depth if Niu or Best are out, lose looping ability for next 2 weeks

D. Musgrove > Any cheapie

Pros: Have an extra player in my squad and potentially more depth in positions I lack, extra cash generation
Cons: Does not improve my scoring 17 and lose looping ability

E. Hold trades (I had 12 trades remaining at the start of this round and will finish with 10 if I use both trades)

on another site i saw matto is out with a broken thumb..

Should be wet game tonight in Leichardt. Should be battle of the forwards. Hopefully a few lazy forwards get tired and Haas slips through for an easy LB and try tonight.

I like C the best mate

Any chance you could get away with a Teddy/RTS/Pap back 3, or is Ponga a must have?

Just realised I can do Mitchell to RTS in one trade.

I’ll chuck in a vote for C, can’t have HTF anywhere near ya 17

I like option C, but hate the idea of Hess to Robson. Screams of chasing last weeks points to me

Hey brains trust.

If Matto is out trying to see whether i can loop or whether its fermour regardless?

Team is set up

Mcinnes
Haas Carrigan
Matto Angus Tapine
Cleary (C) DCE
Lomax Talau
Teddy Paps Crichton

Grant, Api, Robson, Katoa (sharks WFB)
Fermour, Niu, HTF, Paix

i havent made any trades this week but only have 9 an possible gus/matto to deal with next week. I think i just have to cop fermour regardless, but would love if there was a way to have a free look and then play Niu if Fermour is a dud against the storm

thanks in advance!

Fuck broken thumb is what 4-6 weeks? I hope it's not true. I have managed to be fairly lucky with injury news and this week I already have Butcher, Farnsworth and Crichton

Would find out tonight at 7.30pm as he would drop out on 24hr update?

I'm playing Fermor this week, he should score 40+. I wouldn't be too concerned

I have known players to play through broken fingers with some strapping.

Has to be Fermor if Matto is out. Only way to avoid it is trade in a 2RF (or FRF and move Carrigan to bench)

appreciate the replies... sitting on my hands this week until further info! especially with starling looking like a buy next week, leggoooo fermour
