If you have 17 in Rd 13, does that mean the best you can hope for is 13 in Rd 17?

Plenty of good options. How many are you targeting for the second bye? 8-12?

Although there’s an argument that a new run-first 5/8 needs a big talker/organiser to partner over the wiles of the Milf

a Staggs/Milf combo has disaster written all over it and our backline right now has a center spot with his name on it, more likely and better for the long term that he does what he knows this year, especially coming back from an ACL injury, then gets a fresh start with a full pre-season next year to make the move properly with a half that compliments him.

not likely, there's only a max of 10 trades available between bye rounds. rd14(2), rd15(2), rd16(2), rd17(4)

Assuming most have 3 or 4 origin players/keepers in the EMG for round 13, the best you can hope for is 10 or 11 in rd 17 when max trading.

The selection of guns in round 17 is pretty slim, and I don't think many coaches will opt to rip their team apart to get a bunch of rd17 subpar players

I dont know why a 7 + staggs at 6 is better than a 7 + cheap milford at 6 + staggs dominating at ctr.

I know which i prefer. If we sign a top tier half then theres no reason why milford on 350k isnt a winner. But i expext he will go and flourish at another club.. and still may be what he needs

Only if people aren't playing those guys in starting 17, most will be on the non scoring interchange and just being kept for 13

Brailey
Harris Watson Crichton
Fifita Schuster
Cleary Munster
Peachey Bird
Tedesco Laurie Walsh

Fogarty Egan Walker Simpkin
Alvaro Utoiakamanu Papenhuyzen Momirovski

What I need an opinion on is the second trade and what suits my team best

1) Hold it. You'll get Papi and Momo back next week (hopefully)
2) Trade Papi for TPJ (moving Schuster to the bench and nudging Simpkin to EMG)
3) Trade Papi for Gutho (moving Walsh to the bench and nudging Simpkin to EMG)
4) Trade Alvaro for Starling (the big play)

Trading in TPJ or Gutho is really eyeing off R13 and making use of Papi's money

Any opinions appreciated
