Looks like he had to double trade to field 17. Went UTO and Simpkin to Bowen and Walsh
Strong team when the others are back on the park so Bowen is going to be a red dot/loop in a week or two you'd think, but still a weird call. I guess he coudlnt afford anyone more expensive if he was set on Walsh
He had $427k to spend.
Basically, like you said he had to double trade to field 17.
He came off a bit of a horror week and cash earnings dried up (squad value went up a grand total of $12k - not a lot considering he'd just brought in Starling who went up $53k last week).
I think he either has one eye on the highest value squad prize, or he's aiming for a really strong 18 or 19? because 14.14mil should get him a very strong final 17.
Hence Bowen who should gain some value, had scored a try the previous week, and looks like a 10 point Tackle base, 11 point MG base and 9 point TB base (i.e. should usually be good for a 30).
It does mean he's going to take a bit hit in R13 - or he'll be down to a pretty low level of trades left.
