Leaves me with 5 trades and this team:

Any reason not to do that?

What's the point of Koula>Gagai rather than saving a trade. Koula already covers same DPP. Probably scores similar and not like you looping Gagai anyway. Elliot was the top Raiders scorer last game with 55 and that's his lowest score last 5. How on earth is he a sell now?

I disagree on this

Gagai is definitely an upgrade, he's not a CTR gun but he's a tier above Koula IMO. Has had some uncharacteristically low scores lately, but his historic average and ceiling much higher.

More importantly than all that - I'm sure the 134k he nets enables for the other 3 very strong upgrades

It would probably be better to get rid of Harris, Lolo or McInnes rather then Elliot, but Elliot to DCE is still a serious upgrade. Mam to DFifi huge upgrade and differential. Papty to Doueihi a no brainer.

Yeah this. Koula to Gagai is arguably sideways, but the cash facilitates the other trades. Gagai with a historical average of 39 at centre with rock solid JS is good enough for me as a dual 18th man cover, especially for someone who was over 700k earlier in the year. I will loop him too.

As you say, would rather sell Lolo or McInness than Elliott ideally, but can't afford them to DCE so Elliott is the sacrifice unfortunately. Would rather keep him, but still a 10 point upgrade at minimum getting DCE (I hope).

Could get Ted instead, leaving 388k ITB. Intending to trade either or both of Lee/Mam next week, injuries depending, or could trade Manu/Ofa instead of Mam if I needed the cash.

Team before trade this week:

I have no hooker or mid cover, and only edge cover is Tago (which kind of gives me mid cover too, but I'd rather not start him).

Maybe I should just get Grant this week, and just 1 trade next week of Lee to Murray to save a trade and have cover, just don't love Manu at WFB.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Not getting either this week but will be monitoring closely. I think Carrigan outscores Haas for rest of season
