Don’t think he’s a keeper or got cash to make. If it helps get a cow or someone you like I’d do it. I’d grab Cotter first for the higher score. Extra cash will get you Lussick next week from Wong.
Don’t think you really need the third hooker which is why I’d deprioritise Lussick.
The extra MID in Cotter seems more useful for your squad given your get rid of Tups and McInnes.
Yeah you're right, I hadn't really thought about it from a squad cover POV, was just looking at points/value. But I have to use Cheese at hooker next week to cover Grant's bye, and if I also want to sell McInnes and Sitili that leaves me short on MIDs. If I follow through on getting May + Cotter, then from a coverage POV:
Hooker:
Grant, Cheese
MID
Tatola, May, Cotter, Cheese, Salmon, Hughes
EDG
Piakura, Sitili, Salmon, Chan, Wong
HLF
Cleary, Moses, Galvin, Hutch, Flanagan
CTR
Strange, Burbo, Kiraz
WFB
Rapana, Pap, Kiraz
Next week Cheese covers hooker and Salmon may need to cover EDG, so another MID would be handy if I don't want to have to play Shoes.
Then next week Wong becomes a WFB (hopefully Campbell) to cover Pap an Sitili/someone else becomes an edge (Finefuiaki if he looks decent).
The risk with this strategy is that by not trading Wong I'm guaranteed to have 4 red dots next week with the Storm bye (Wong, Pap, Chan, Grant). Another injury/suspension and that adds up fast, and suddenly I can't field 17 even with max trading...
I think I like it though, scared to miss the boat on Cotter.
