I am considering Boyd to Preston as 1 trade. Was thinking Cheese to a gun mid with the difference but that leaves me no hooker and no mid cover. Holding Cheese though means I still need to bring in a mid next week to cover the bye.

Other consideration is
HSS and TMM to Shaq and Preston - keeps coverage for mid and hooker, gives cheese and Boyd another chance

Anything obvious to do with this lot?

Boyd's poor form and upcoming bye are bad timing with potentially losing Tricky T in the next week. Making the move early means I don't need to rip my team apart next week.

Talau --> Walsh
Boyd --> SJ

He is playing EDG. Sutton must have an aversion to the number 13.

Yeah not ideal, but SJ knows his time is almost up and trying to go out on a high, no origin, weak other half, his fitness seems better, familiar feels for him.

Go for it.

If its Hooker, I feel like just grabbing the cream.

A weak halves partner and no fullback stealing kick metres or goal kicking does make for a juicy prospect.

Sutton?

Wilton can be a season keeper in his position, should average 50+, no chance of Origin, plays 2 Origin byes.

In my team, having sorted out immediate fires, working out how to replace Carty and Trindall with good scoring is my next concern that I am focusing on. I expect most teams will be the same, as you can't rely on guys like Katoa / AKP / Talau / Thompson / Doorey etc for scoring. Other options like Shaq and MCK may be out of the team entirely in the next week or 2 as troops that are ahead of them in the pecking order come back, so can really compound issues if they are no longer options at the same time as Carty and Trindall get taken out. Will be lots of teams in a big mess then.

He means Whitehead.

CHN has the right edge spot for now. Not much attack for the back rowers in the first two rounds, putting it down to QLD weather in the hope Harawira-Naera goes big/stays out of the HIA and the oscars.

Yep, the other Welshman.
