The other cow will be getting milked no matter what so its an extra trade.

Rd 2 and already Woods is a semi-gun and Taupau a real gun?

Yeah - I'm hoping Grant averages 60 and Aubbs averages 80. Hey, why be conservative - I hope they both average 100.

Line up:
Smith, Garvey
McGuire, Grant, Evans, Packer
Surgess, Taupau, Cartwright, Carter, JSaifiti, BHenry
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, JNiko
Fergusson, Copley, Gutherson, Green
Mann, Barba, Mitchell, Eden, Feeny

Evans > JTrbo (Evans has peaked I think, barring a few grand, JTrbo has low BE this week, could be down 13k if I do this trade next week)

Scott > Green (Green could lose $15k this week, and Scott making $15k means could be $30k lost if I make the trade next week). Green would possibly be in my 17 ahead of Gutherson, but for calculations I figure they score the same.

Mann > Munster (Munster prob won't make any money this week with BE of 43, small amount possibly, but Mann won't lose any as not playing. Thinking of playing Eden in my 17 for 1 week (then doing this trade next week), I think he could go ok against Penrith as he is playing on Oates side which sees alot of ball, so may get 20 points vs Munster 43ish).

Which two trades to make?

Evans > Jtrbo (+15 points (difference between Evans and JTrbo scores this week) +$13k)
Scott > Green (+$30k)
= +15 Points +$43K

Evans > Jtrbo (+15 points +$13k)
Mann > Munster (+23 points (amount munster scores more than Eden. +$0K) (Factor in loss of green to Scott -$30k next week)
= +38 points -$17k

Mann > Munster (+23 points +$0K) (Factor in loss of Evans to JTrbo -$13k next week)
Scott > Green (+$30k)
= +23 points +$17K

This. I've had Kapow since the start and he was a dud in week 1. The only people talking about him were the ones regretting him and trying to offload him.  Then he has two good runs and becomes a season keeper. Before those 2 runs he couldn't hang on to the ball or the opposition players. Hardly a must have atm.  That said though, I am hoping the new role is a positive for him and he can keep up some of the good work, I am not expecting him to repeat those scores week in / week out though.

Teddy on the other hand was sublime. Some of the best FB play I have ever seen. Fantasy wise and footy wise.

Taupau was my first picked, and I had no issue with his first round - he was performing a role and was hardly a dud fantasy wise.

Merrin, Parker, Surgess (Bhana, JSaifiti, Leuluai)
DCE, Hastings (Taylor, Walker)
JRoberts, Copley (Green, Littlejohn)
Teddy, Barba, Gutherson (Feeney, Mitchell)

I'm thinking DCE and Feeney out at this point. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yeah OK but what do you think about trading Taylor to Walker?
