If you are trading in Rochow, how long do you expect him to stay in the team for?

If Gurgess can go 2 weeks without getting injured/suspended he'd be a strong chance to start again. Musgrove could easily force his way back into the team.

Rochow seems to be a fair bit of cash without enough security.

Its a fairly solid final 17.

Of those I think Hayne and Whitehead are the ones that could most do with an upgrade.
If you could get the funds for Whitehead to Fifita that would be a big improvement, and I suspect Hayne won't score consistently well enough and other options might be better

Milchcow wrote:What do you guys think of this team for the run home?

Hopefully Elliott and Stone can make me a heap more cash and in several weeks time I can go:
Elliott to De Belin and Stone to Taumalolo
Maybe Cotric to T. Trbojevic or J Roberts when he returns, depending on Cotric's form.
And RTS to Munster or Rapana?

Would give me a close to final team of this going into the last part of the season.

C. Smith (c), (A. McCullough)
J. Graham, N. Brown
S. Burgess, P. Gallen, J. Taumalolo*, (J. De Belin*), (A. Crichton) (E. Whitehead)
S. Johnson, A. Reynolds
J. Hayne, J. Roberts*
J. Tedesco, J. Rapana*, C. Walker.

fifita to jdb via brown next week and cook to smith jr if hes named will give me 16 for round 13

good plan or dumb? cheers

I agree with the Hayne and Whitehead sentiments here especially the move to Fifita. safer to go with 3 gun frf in case one of them gets knocked out for one round, you have a bit more wiggle room with your reserves.
RTS upgrade probably isn't worth it unless he continues to show his struggles. If he does then Nofo is showing better consistancy than all WFB's

My best is that Vaughan, JDB, Wallace and Slater will all get picked for origin 2 and stuff a lot of people's plans.

no_worryers wrote:what's your trades this week? whats the plan if smith jr isn't named next week cause having no hooker next week is suicide.
don't like the fifita to jdb move considering it only nets you 1 extra bye round played. if somehow jdb makes it into origin game 2 via injury, you'd be kicking yourself


smith to farah chn to manners and pythian to semi

thinking fifita plays 1 week in the next 4 so hes a sell and jdb plays 13 through 17. any better options? smith jr's a cashout if not named il go pritchard
