    Even if I want to field 17 this week I really cant.

    Smith
    Haas Carrigan
    Lolo Lucy Sironen
    DCE Cleary
    Lomax Crichton
    Herbie HTF Ponga

    Butcher Young Niu Randall
    Matterson Twal Grant Papenhuyzen

    296K 8 trades

    I am thinking Niu to Starling to cover in Hooker but then I don't want to trade Matterson, Twal, Grant or Pappy!! Think I am copping 16 players this week.

    If you had 4 trades left only, would you use one to get cover in like say Adam Pompey to cover WFB?

    I have 0 WFB cover and I know Teddy is going to get rested soon.

    Happy to take 16 players for the week but that WFB position is going to test me with no depth.

    They are fine players to have as cover this week. Alot will be worse off.

    Oh, and Herbie too. But yeah, not a bad position I guess.  Tempted to turn Pappy into Ponga though.

    Last few years most coaches realised it is better to rest stars a few weeks out from finals.

    I'd consider trading Matterson given his HIA history and this will be week 2. Plenty of good replacement options at 2RF as well.

    Mate herbie is on fire, and its another huge game for the Broncos. I dont have him but id seriously be confident in another 40 or 50 from him

    my only hope is Randall is a late inclusion.

    I'm considering Paix to McIntyre as a Bradman best replacement, thoughts?

    I've got 17 too (18 if Randall plays)
    Hammer in for Pappy will be extremely common, and Bayley in for Grant will be better than a lot.

    I'll trade Fogarty to Moses as planned, and then consider if punting Robson (for Taumalolo or DFifita) is worth it or not.

    Looks like I'm going Matto and Rudolf to DFifi and RTS. Will have to play TEisenhuth, BSiro, and Starling this week but people have it worse so no complaints.

    With your ranking, you're in an awesome position. I'd do those trades mate if you had a few spare. Still tempted to trade myself even with a decent 17.

    (a) Munster + Tevaga IN + 189K for Young upgrade. Addresses all depth concerns - gun 2RF, HLF cover, HOK cover. Best value I can see.

    (b) Hunt + Twal/Difi IN + 7K. Better scorers & addresses all depth concerns but leaves no cash to upgrade Young - dicey play since I can't rely on Randall as 17th man anymore.

    (c) Thompson + Cook/CM9 + 17K. Means either no HLF cover for the week. Upside is obviously getting a top tier gun in, but again no money for further upgrades.

    At the moment leaning towards A, think it's the best long-term move, unless anyone thinks Young can be a viable top 17 scorer for the year?

    Team:

    Spoiler:

    Bumping post TLT, don't think this changes my plans too much, just means I definitely need to bring a hooker in.

    2 red dots last week became 6 this week very quickly. Life moves pretty fast.

    What would you guys do with my side? I have 16 players before trades, so only need to sell one (Randall is the man most likely).

    Got 106k ITB and 6 trades left before using any this week

    Mann
    Haas, Fotu
    Tevaga, Yeo, Lolo
    Cleary, Luai
    Lomax, Crichton
    Ponga, Hammer, Ted

    Carrigan, Talau, Averillo, Randall

    Flanno, Grant, Papy, Niu

    at the moment my plan is just Randall to B Siro which gets me to 17 players, but I could also sell Niu to McIntyre to shore up my depth and hedge against any more late outs.

    I suspect anyone with the Hammer will be playing him this week.
