Round 3 trade discussion

Here's our team - what are our plans

Watkins to another CTR is a must
Walters probably wants to go too

We have no cash in hand so I guess we ditch Fifita

Then see what TLT does

I assume Grant will be one trade in, so any thoughts on who else we want.

Let start discussions here, but won't put poll up until after TLT.

Mann out of EMG straight into HLF

First thoughts would be: Fifita, Williams, Walters, Watkins out -->; Taumalolo, Grant, Shibasaki, Katoa in


Leaving team as
Koro
Haas Knight
Taumalolo Hess Leilua
Moses Mann
Shibasaki Wiliame
Papenhuyzen Drinkwater Isaako

Friend Carrigan Katoa Brailey
Grant Luai Rudolf Musgrove

I'd prefer Best to Shibasaki. If we are going to mess around with near base centres, I would want the more talented one

Fifita>Taumalolo
Watkins>Best
Williams>Grant

Bank a trade unless Magoulias is named to start. Walters one week off the bench to make a bit more cash then moved next week

If Walters is in the 17, I’d prefer to leave him a week in NPRs due to low BE.

Move on Fifita, Watkins, Williams... and maybe Musgrove?

Ins are too hard until TLT!

Would want to ditch Musgrove with the final trade, isn't adding any value to the team.

IMO we definitely want to trade Watkins and Fifita and Musgrove.

Trade them out and Grant as one trade in gives us $1,100 for 2 players (1 must be a CTR)

Walters goes this week or next
HLF we either move Mann to starting or Drinkwater to halves and trade in a WFB


I guess a couple of questions
Do we try and make a play for Taumalolo?
If not are there any other guns we want? Trbo, Teddy, Mattersn, McInnes

My early trade suggestion

Out
Fifita
Watkins
Musgrove
Walters

In
Grant
Fogarty
Capewell
TTrbojevic (or any player up to $774k, maybe Horsburgh)


Not sure we want to panic out Knight, Williams or Friend who I guess are the other players people might want to move on.

Not my preferred option, but the other way to go would be hold Walters (for a bit of cash) or Musgrove (for looping) for a week, ditch Williams/Friend/Knight and bring in Taumalolo

Out
Fifita
Watkins
Walters ($4k short if we hold Musgrove)
Williams

In
Grant
Fogarty
Capewell
Taumalolo


variations possible

Williams, Watkins, Fifita, Friend out for Tolo, Foghorn, Capewell and Grant? Does that work?

Few people keen on Shibasaki ($361k) instead of Capewell

Capewell is only $434k, and I'd rate him over anyone more expensive as a better value buy.

Should have read this first. I think hold Walters a week. Missed Musgrove there. He probably needs to go first before the likes of Friend.

I'm with you on Capewell.

That leaves us $389k, but I don't think it would be worth trading Friend out for no real benefit when we can ditch Walters for the same trade in result

My preferred trade outs are:
Fifita
Watkins
Musgrove

4th trade options for this week, all under-performers that haven't demonstrated any promise of why they were added to the team:
Williams
Knight
Friend

Should keep Walters this week, trade him out next week

Trade-ins:
Lolo (also captain this week)
Grant
Horse
4th trade needs to be a center, personally I prefer Shibasaki, but open to other options.

Yeah I then noticed Musgrove. He needs to go.

For those trades, we would need to ditch Friend over Williams or Knight, and that would only leave us $285k for a centre

Little bit controversial perhaps, but I'd only do three trades and they'd be these-

Out;
Fifita
Watkins
Musgrove

In;
Grant
JTB
Capewell*

*interchangeable with Shibasaki or Hampton if merely seeking cash

If we want Taumalolo and want to ditch Musgrove

Musgrove
Fifita
Watkins
Knight

in
Taumalolo
Grant
Capewell
Fogarty

Would leave us $109k in the bank

Giddy up.

I think we will work on the assumption that Fifita out for Grant is 1 guaranteed trade, and have a vote on the other 3 (or 2)

Key decision is Capewell, Shibasaki or other for replacement CTR

Then the next trade/s are much more open for debate, and will probably be the key decision for the season restart
