Thanks for your advice
Why do you think it's chasing last weeks points?
He averages 66.4 from his 5 games at hooker this year and it doesn't look like Granville will be back in the team
From his games coming off the bench this year he had a PPM of 0.86 which translates to 68.8 across 80 minutes - so it's not like the 66.4 average is unrealistic and unachievable for him
Who would be a better option?

Ben Marlin wrote:I'm pretty sure I want to go Hess > Robson for my 1st trade this week, I just need a little bit of help deciding which option for the 2nd trade

A. B Smith > Hunt

Pros: I get a potential 60+ scorer and a gun half who is extremely undervalued
Cons: Smith can still make cash and I would have to play HTF in my 17

B. B Smith > RTS

Pros: I get a gun WFB who is undervalued, I can play Field/Fogarty in my 17 over HTF
Cons: RTS will probably score roughly 10 (possibly more) points less than Hunt and like before Smith can still make cash

C. Latrell > RTS

Pros: I get an extra player in my squad for the next 2 weeks, I get a gun WFB who is undervalued, don't have to play HTF in my 17
Cons: I lose a gun centre and have no centre depth if Niu or Best are out, lose looping ability for next 2 weeks

D. Musgrove > Any cheapie

Pros: Have an extra player in my squad and potentially more depth in positions I lack, extra cash generation
Cons: Does not improve my scoring 17 and lose looping ability

E. Hold trades (I had 12 trades remaining at the start of this round and will finish with 10 if I use both trades)

Carnage, Matto and Angus were the 2 best valuehighest averaging 2RFs remaining after Taumalolo (after Fifita and Twal have both been injured, also excluding Carrigan who everyone has). Likely a big shake up for the top teams.

Manly are due to travel to Townsville next Friday to play the Cowboys and the Queensland Government will not allow any player or staff member into the state without having the flu vaccination.

Hess to Robson is a massive upgrade. Excluding the 95, he has been good for a 60 point average, vs Hess who is averaging 44.

Is he signing to play fullback or something?

In isolation it's a massive upgrade, but the trade is being made because Robson scored 2 tries last week
