R4 Trade planning

by Milchcow Tue Mar 26, 2024 8:56 am

Scored 835 last week to move to overall ranking of 4118

$300k in the bank plus a potential Cleary trade out means we have a lot of flexibility about who to bring in

If it wasn't for the imminent bye, Hynes would be a good trade in. Not sure who else we want

Maybe Ponga is cheap enough? Do we want Kai Pearce-Paul
Carrigan/Yeo a good option whilst Haas is out?
Fine potentially the best cheapie at the moment

Hold Cleary

Trade Wong (if not named) + Smithies.
Bring in KPP + Fine
Leaves $465 ITB to play with next week. Can update our CTR's then if need be or go Chan/Salmon/Hughes to a cheap gun (Dyl bags?). Could even wait another week and bring in Hynes after the bye (upgrade Cotter?)

Can wait a week on Dyl bags (high BE). Also not worried about Strange - he has a high base and isn't going to miss 9 tackles every week.

I'm also extremely jealous of how strong this team looks Crying or Very sad

I still think Hynes is a good trade-in

Cleary would also have a bye in the next 3 weeks. So it’s as close as a like for like replacement

I also think over 3 weeks:
Hynes, 18th man and replacement captain, Hynes

Likely scores more than:
Any other gun captained over the 3 weeks (unless we guess well)

Carrigan is the other gun I like, with Haas out

Fine is the best cheapie pending TLT news IMO

Is Hynes for 2 out of 3 weeks better than Dylan brown for 3 weeks?

Then we can look to upgrade Smithies to Hynes after the bye.

Are there any forwards we'd like to get in besides Carrigan. All the good ones probably play origin.
Perhaps not a good price for AFB given the tries have inflated his price who is otherwise a good pick

What would our ideal MID/EDG look like in our final 17

Haas Yeo Murray
Hopgood Fifita

Maybe Carrigan/AFB. Do we want to plan when we get any of those guys in, or just hope soe of them drop price over origin with some restings/low minute games

We have too many potential outs already

Paps, Chan (bye), Cleary (hammy) = 3 definitive

Wong, Cotter (form / injury) = 2 maybes

I feel our trade outs should come from this group as any others add to the issue of numbers this week.

If Wong doesn’t play (expected outcome) then we are forced to play Hughes and any other late out compounds the issue.

Kiraz (or other CTR/WFB) and Fine in for Wong and Cleary.

Don’t like the extra bulldog but their bye in 4 games will hopefully have us rid of a few by then. Also let’s us not play Burbo or strange.

Fine is a decent cow. Not sure any gun has their hand up and the cash will let us move rapana/Smithies etc as the time comes.

Could honestly change Kiraz to Carrigan, Fifita or any other gun people particularly love. Would grab Nicho on panthers bye.
Probably too much cash to sit on but that’s my pre TLT rambles
