Smith - Parcell
Graham Surgess Packer Woods
Whitehead Santi Cartwright Carter LeuLuai Moerea
Walker Hastings Maloney Taylor
Gutherson P.Matautai Aubbs Auva
Tedesco, Barba, Mansour, Trobj Mitchell

Id be looking at pumping up that backrow a bit. Maybe Santi to Bowen via Aubbs

That was me. Good pick up finchy. Good news for those looking to bring in Dugan.

Ive culled some f my options which as left me with two/three.

DCE>JDB via many many swaps
Leaves me with halves of Barba, JNik, Hastings, ATaylor

or

DCE>Milf
Carter> JSaifiti

Or

DCE>TMM
Pauli >JDB


Both leave me with next to no money in the bank.

I think its to late for JSaifiti with Sims back next week. TMM job security is unknow so would leave you light in the halves. If Carter plays he should make a little cash if he doesnt then he wont lose anything so you can afford to hold for a minute.

Your safest and best option is to just find a straight gun halve to trade DCE to

Who is Santi?

He's listed as Jacob Saifiti but his mates call him Santi

Well spotted.

Santi is actually Jacob Saifiti. But I could get rid of LeuLuai the same way for cost of $1K

Ha! Alright then, I believe you....

As Shanbon said, your 2RF is light as hell. You need to make some changes there.

Also, whats happening with Maloney? Any good?

haha for some reason i thought you were carrying Santi formerly of the Tigers

Thoughts on Fensom vs J Turbo vs JDB as a trade for Cartwright?

I think I can sit on DCE for a week at least, I have 17 strong players without him.

Barba 18th man.

My only trade this week might be J Niko - Parcell, leaves $70K in the kitty.

However im tempted to be trading DCE - Johnson......

So I think this trade is crazy and might be me just hitting panic stations but would it be a bad idea to trade out Woodsy for B Law so I can free up a lot of cash to make future trades like De Belin for Carter and Saifiti for Graham???

I mean Woods is struggling to even hit 50 and as mentioned previously he's getting big minutes but they're not quality minutes plus from the moment I got him I always intended to trade him out pre bye-rounds anyway. Is it sound enough logic or is just me trying to justify my dissatisfaction with Woods? If I did trade him out based on averages I'll take around a 10 point hit but would it be better in the long run???

If Cartwright plays, are you still going to trade him out?

Spuddies wrote:

That team does look good for 30 trades. What's your plan for Evans?

Not sure. Hoping he has a break out round and gets some confidence up. Seems to be a lazy fuck, but no urgency for me to trade yet. Eventually Graham or Tolman. This time last year I was bringing in R12 bye cover, but I might just have to take the hit as all the good bye teams have shit options except the dogs.

Malney was a POD which freed up cash to begin with.
Hasn't really worked as a POD Ave. low 30's

Bhana based on what? That's not what I've heard. Apparently injury not as bad as first thought and the coach rates him

Based on being a Knights fan and seeing him play, he was the back up hooker when Levi was out, he's now back. If he goes back to 2nd row he gets pushed back down the line due to T Sims coming back, Coach might rate him but he rates others higher from what we have seen. Sims will likely start from the bench next week and Safiti will start but that means someone we already have misses out. He's not going to get a bench spot unless there are more injuries.

J Nik -> Parcell

or

Evans -> J Turbo

I think I need to get Parcell now before the gap is too much between himself and J Nik but wanted to get your opinion guys.

Bowen is WFB not CNTR

Bulldogs forum seems convinced Lichaa playing vs Canberra, but it's only a forum. Might hold back a trade and $$$s for Monday this week for Garvey to Lichaa/Hodgson, either of whom could be keepers. If Garvey plays do it next week for 60k less.
