R10 wrap
Had another solid week, with 982 taking me from 6,358 to 4,513. Steady rise continues after being absolutely nowhere early doors. Could have been even better if I'd just held Preston instead of getting Luki, but so be it. A rare trade that I got wrong on every level - selling Preston in the first place, not getting Hors, and getting Luki instead. Hope he can bounce back this week.
R11 team
This week I'm lining up as:
Cook
Haas Tapine Cheese
Hosking Loiero
(C)leary SJ
Manu Alamoti
Miller Teddy Walsh
Boyd Bula Luki Ford
Granville IKat Nikorima Lemuelu
23 trades, 177k bank
Trades thoughts
Potential outs:
- Cook: been stinking it up and shedding cash for a few weeks now and a BE 75 this week, was always planning to trade him to Robson over Origin, so is it time to do it now? Then again, it feels like selling him at his lowest price at this point, and he's playing the Tigers this week, so will probably continue to hold.
- Ford: easy sell missing this week and then the buy, with a 43 BE now. Not worth holding just for R13.
- Alamoti: would like to sell, but not a lot of viable candidates that don't feel sideways.
- IKat: have seen a few people considering selling this week when he's on his bye, but feels like he still has good cash to make with a 16 BE, will be holding I think.
At this stage I'm just looking at selling Ford I think, the question is just to who? Can afford anyone up to 714k. At the moment I'm considering a shortlist of:
- Young
- Robson
- Bird
- Horse
- Tohu
I'm really tempted by Tohu tbh, think I'm leaning that way at this point but I'm torn, so would love everyone's thoughts.
If I make a second trade, I'm also considering Alamoti -> B Smith. Alamoti's price going in the wrong direction and Smith will obviously make cash short term. I think I've saved more trades than most so I can probably afford to a risk or two, but not really sure if this one is worth it. Can probably just wait a week and do Alamoti to Te Whare?
