    I have only 5 trades left, decent side, but have both Merrin and SJ to get rid of, $87k ITB. Pearce is obviously a good swap for SJ, but doesn't leave me enough to get in the guys I want for Merrin, Gall or Fifita. The only guy I could get is J Turbo. Or do I get in a POD in like Hunt, which lets me get Gallen and have some $ left ITB for another upgrade (Likely Wallace to Taupau)??

    So;

    SJ -> Hunt/Someone $400kish & Merrin -> Gall/Fifita + Cash
    or
    SJ -> Pearce & Merrin -> J Turbo (No cash at all)

    Gallen over Fifita all the way, right?

    Thanks Guys Smile

    My info is usually shit but happy to give you my opinion. Can you afford DCE and Gal? Or will you be short? That'd be my target. I'm not sold on Hunt, especially with Bennett playing around Benji. Problem is there ain't a great deal of other bonfide options in the halves at that price bracket. There may be better options in the second row at cheaper than Galythat may be worth picking up to couple with Pearce.

    I think Hunt will be the Broncs half for the rest of the year, but there is a lot of uncertaintly with Benji and Kodi sniffing around, definitely a punt but probably not one worth taking at this stage.

    Ahhh feck I think I've got trade-fear. 

    The fear of trading a healthy player for another player regardless of the extra points he may make.
    Brought about by having stuff all trades.

    This game never ceases to surprise haha

    Although I'm clearly no expert, so trust your own judgement.

    I can't believe this is actually true Shocked Pure wizardry is what it is. It feels like some kind of prophecy.

    Is running with a CTRS lineup of BJ,Fuimaono,Scott and Kelly sufficient? Not going to be able to bring Turbo in now with the trades I have decided upon

    Sufficient? Yes.
    Ideal? Probably not.

    Hope for your team that Leilua gets back to those 2016-esque scores.

    Decided on Teddy over Pearce. If Teddy can average 50 with 2 tries all year he could have some monster scores in the run home

    yeah he will, he's had a couple of good games since returning. The only reason he won't is if the broncos drop out of the race for top 4 (eg lost 3 in a row or something), it would be panic stations to drop him again. regardless of him leaving next year, we aren't going deep in the finals if he isn't playing well, but Benji and/or kodi simply can't take us there.

    despite all the hoo ha i firmly believe bennett put him back to reserve grade in an attempt to kick start his form leading into the back end of the year.

    next minute hunt is benched to start the game tonight hahah

    Which trades would you make first?

    Friend > Smith
    ET > Teddy via SMat and Turbo
    ET > NBrown (give me a DPP to match Taupau in my FR)

    Teddy and NBrown have very low BE's this week, Smiths is very reachable too.

    NBrown is a bit of a value pick as i think he can easily match/outdo Turbo and Mannering for a lot less

    I would trade Friend before trading an uninjured player.

    If Scott plays, who do I drop out of my 17 out of BJ, Mitch Moses or Semi? I'm thinking BJ (I reckon Moses will have a big game vs the Tigers)

    So tempted to trade NOW! but will resist.
    If I wait a few more rounds before upgrading CKing to the "Storm Machine" I'll have another 50-75k extra for that last trade boost before finals. Hopefully CKing can bag some attacking stats the next two rounds (like a TA, LBA, or something) to push up his avg.

    Exclude an SJ-less RTS, that's the best 5.

    How do I choose between the other two??
