    805 this week, enough to regain some ranks back up to 514th overall

    R8 Trade talk R8_sco10


    Any plans for this week?

    Carty out for 1. I imagine this week or next we want to ditch Loiero or Katoa (maybe both but not essentially)

    Warbrick to Tedesco on the cards too if we can get the cash?

    Anything else people want to suggest for the poll?

    If cash persists how about;

    Carty - Cheese
    Carrigan - Fifita

    Then could do IIT or Warbrick to Stone or Ale for cover.

    Could bank some trades too.

    Is Teddy needed as 4th gun WFB - how does he rate amongst other 600k options?

    Carrigan is another point of concern dropping cash and plays Origin so need a MID if he’s gone - Tohu?

    If looking at cows, IKatoa starting to make money

    we're going to trade Trbo out over origin right?

    Not that Teddy is necessarily much better in that regard

    Cartwright and Alamoti (cartwright not need and party over, Alamoti a waste of cash in emergency, bulldogs desolate with injury and form)

    for Crossland and Tedesco

    Crossland averaging 52 at hooker this year, (2games) big tackling workaholic

    Teddy, bottomed out, cowboys, and dragons twice in next 5 games, poised to go on a pre origin run, pod as fuck versus top 1000,

    Teddy should (if he backs up) be quite a bit better than Turbo over Origin. Turbo is a definite out missing 13/14 as well as the two other big byes. That's for the future though, straight swap from Turbo to the friendliest WFB in R12.

    On this week, would be trading Carty and Carrigan to either Cheese and Fifita as suggested above or to JDB and Teddy. Or maybe even to Cheese and Teddy to leave cash/flexibility for the Storm trades next week.

    Should we be looking at more bye friendly trade in options or not yet?

    1 question, do we want to trade Cartwright out whatever happens, or only if he is benched in final team lists?

    if Carty does start we're probably better off ditching Katoa, given his bye next week

    Trade in thoughts are:

    Host - seems like the best cash cow with rd 13 coverage. Playable bench option. Not sure I like Crossland with his upcoming bye and knights shuffling their team (still think that’s the second best cow)

    Manu - big call but might be better value than Tedesco over the next 10 rounds. Let’s Lemuelu move to bench and provides bye coverage for Miller.
    Teddy - this week or next otherwise no matter how cheap we don’t get enough games pre origin. Season keeper available at a discount.

    JDB - less sure but no byes till 16 and gives cash from Carrigan who is a sell at origin and not going well. Tohu and Tapine are the other options but both have a bye and high BEs with Tohu building up minutes post injury.

    Fifita - best edge. Base stats are up with limited attacking stats this year. May not make origin but with 5 weeks best to jump on now. Feel most edges (Carty, loiero, Katoa, Preston) are peaking and this move is a step ahead of the curve.

    Hynes - best average in the game. If we could get him it’s worth considering. Can’t see it but feel he should be an auto include most weeks.

    My suggested trades:

    Carrigan to JDB - same scores, better bye coverage, gives 71k ITB, may make some cash.
    Alamoti to Host - adds a cow with good job security that plays 13 and can play 16/17 when players are missing on a bye. Adds 50k ITB

    Leaves 144k ITB

    If Carty starts he’s a 13 player but will likely hold price or drop some cash. Other player if trade is E Katoa. High BE, not a keeper, misses 2 of next 6.

    Carty to Manu
    Or
    Katoa to Fifita/Manu

    Other fun play is Carrigan to Smith and the Carty could go to Fifita. Think if Carrigan goes we need a kid for coverage.

    Doesn’t quite let us get to Hynes but builds a bigger watchers and let’s us see JDB for another week

    You put this post up just as I was making the poll Ranta

    I think all your options are covered except for Manu

    We don't really have a path to Hynes this week IMO without killing the team
    Think we to stick with team Cleary and wait for Hynes to drop a bit of cash

    All good. Manu can easily wait a week to see if he’s holding half for a few weeks and if I was the only one keen he likely wouldn’t have been voted in anyway.

    I’ll try to get in earlier next week.
