Bye will definitely save some trades.
I've currently got 11 players I'm happy keeping until the end; Cook, Koroisau, Friend, Grant, Mofo, Carrigan, Taumalolo, Cleary, Capewell, Turbo, Papy. Then a couple of borderline that would be luxury upgrades like Drinkwater and Leilua. That leaves me 20 trades left to cover injuries and get 6 more keepers+a decent 18th man
Assuming about 6 of those go for injuries over that season that leaves exactly enough for one downgrade per upgrade. Going to take more than 1 to get the likes of Haas, Bateman, DCE so already a little short. Then you consider that in an ideal world I would want to turn Koroisau and Friend into twin Cams, grab Teddy and Ponga at fullback, things are already very very tight. With all these free flowing trades we are going to see some final teams that are much less than ideal
... and you’re talking about all the right players too, not centres.
Makes it even more clear with whatever centre you’re getting to partner Capewell, just do it, and just whoever you are OK with staying there. No time to fiddle and try and generate cash in the position. IMO even though minus BE, anyone going with Best are committing to him for the season. Which is fine, but just some realism needed on this one
I toyed with Wiliame to Mitchell myself but then thought fk it. Crichton’s fine and I like the banked trade more than I like Mitchell over Crichton
Holy fuck, now I’m doing it...
Cook is a legit option over Haas this week imo.
Haas maybe get a breather for 15mins when down by 30!
