HomeWe've only got a short turnaround to sort out trades this week, so starting discussion now.
Obviously ANZAC day games may changte potential trade ins/trade outs, but anything we should be looking for?
We have $381k in the bank so plenty of options

Turbo is a sell, I think, regardless of whether he plays next week. Could punish us but he's a sell before Origin anyway and who knows how much cash he could lose before then. Carty a sell too imo. Warbrick entirely depends on the next game. If he scores 15 and is going backwards then he'd be a third out, if he gets 50 and has more cash to make then he isn't (but Alamoti is).
Will have quite a lot of money to target three players. Again, need to see Tuesday's scores before figuring out if Manu is a priority. Might be worth a preliminary poll gauging "Hynes route" or "non-Hynes route", because we could do either but it changes the other two trades completely.
Lane, Horsburgh. De Belin, Matterson, Tapine, Drinkwater would be others I'd have my eye on under a non-Hynes strategy with an eye on the byes. Bula looks a decent cashout. Granville will make money but without DPP doesn't suit a team with Robson in it. Ponga amazing value but terrible schedule as an Origin player. Can't believe we don't have Cheese yet!

Turbo and the Storm boys on the way out for sure.
Ponga, Bula and a strong mid, maybe Fotuaki?

I think thats a few too many downgrades given we already have a large bank balance
Trbo out probably should happen injuries/origin/byes mean its unlikely to be of massive benefiy holding on
Latrell probably the premium WFB, its either him or take a punt on Ponga./ Any other options?
With Teddy/Waslh/Miller a 4th WFB isn't essential
Do we give Host another chance?
Carty finally get the chop? In the end was probably better we ditched Katoa this week though given the HIA

I think Carty has to go.
Turbo likely as well
That gives us $1,472k to play with
Warbrick to Bula (for more cash) or Ponga/Drinkwater is an option for 3rd trade.
Do we want to try get Ponga - or make a play for some bye friendly guns?

turbo washed
carty - over
warbrick or alamoti
for
Manu DPP and playing well at 6 for forseeable
Lane, bottomed out and great bye coverage
cheapy, Bula seems to have position and cash making
can be done by only spending 40k of bank if alamoti and a little more if trading warbrick
