I think just the Alvaro -> CHN mate. I'm making the same trade as you (again) and think we should bank the trade this time around.. 17 is a long time away. Jones is a big risk.

Thanks mate, but I have to double trade to get the bank for that trade. Down to Jones or Verrills.

Anything more than 15 trades coming into this week I reckon you should go hard at round 17. Any less than that you probably want to make sure you have a decent 18 to end the year

Just remember that no one is going to get every gun, either due to lack of trades or lack of dollars. So chasing the guns that scored lots of tries to start the year (Papy and Fifita) rather than the guns that didn't (DCE and Cook) might leave you looking a bit silly. Scoring lots of tries in the first 9 weeks doesn't make you more likely to score lots of tries in the last 9 weeks

haha. guess it depends on trades in hand. Jones is two trades, because he'll be a trade out when Friz returns, but he should make some cash, assuming things go favourably for him until then.

I got Jones last week as he seemed like the best option for short term cash grab. Probably the last one of those I can do.

Verrills is someone you trade in and keep for the season (again, assuming he stays fit)

15 trades so might be doable to get more cash gen. Interesting tweet though. Seems like he's liked at the club and going to get good game time but you're right, where does he fit when Friz is back. Surely he doesn't knock Fitz out the way.

Verrills indeed should be set and forget.

appreciate the FOMO on CHN. i just figure you can’t get them all.

Full disclosure- i got Jones last week and plan to get Verrills as soon as he is named.

Thanks for the feedback buddy. There's merit behind both I guess and yeah, I was going to go CHN for Walker in round 12 but saved the trade for round 13, so he was on the cards for me before his 87. The 87 was proof I should have went through with the trade.

I gave him a talking to telling him he's on notice otherwise he may be traded out next week.

Alright mate, I trust your management style and I'm confident you will get a bounce back from him, so I'll hold.

Well I have a dilemna!!!

This is my team before trades.

Brailey
Crichton iPap Watson
Schuster RyMatt
Fogarty Moses
Bird Crichton
Teddy Laurie Hynes

McCullough Starling Leniu Ramsey
Turbo Cleary Pappy Walsh

18 trades 79K

Initial thoughts were Leniu + Starling > Jones and CHN but than I realised I would be left with 16 players. I don't really want to trade any of my red players and I also want to get rid of Leniu and Starling to a lesser extent. Jones and CHN provide me some cash gen in Jones who can hopefully provide a jump to a R17 gun later on and CHN who looks to be producing the goods and plays R17. Trades in hand help but means I am left with 16 for the week.

Do you think Moses will come good again Teeth?

Honestly don't know, mate. For what it's worth, I've kind of crossed him off my to do list. Worried he's far from 100% fit, and Dylan Brown was awesome last week, completely overshadowed Moses. If I owned him I'd be holding and still think he's entirely capable of putting up good scores most weeks... But yeah, not a buy for me... For now.

I reckon pull the trigger if Brailey is playing with a broken hand like has been reported he's not going to get any better with his scores. Bhunt has the potential to be in the top 3 halves.

Great post and my thoughts exactly.
I'm sitting at rank 571 but short on trades so not worrying about 17 and just focusing on finishing strong. My planned trades will have me finishing with a strong team with reasonable depth- CHN & Schuster sitting in the 18 and 19 spots so reasonable depth.

Currently planning to get Fifita in round 18 if budget goes to plan, otherwise I will look at cheaper guns like Cook.

Fuck it. I'm trading Papy. I've held him for this long and he might be back next week, but he also might not be.

Papy -> Harris (gun)
Walker -> CHN (fomo lol)

Even though Harris has those rnd 17 creds, for some reason I'm tempted to go Crichton instead, but that doesn't make sense.

Team:
Brailey
Haas Harris BS9
Matterson Leilua
Fogarty Moses
Averillo Crichton
Tedesco Laurie Hynes
R: Pangai Watson CHN Jones
E: Flegler Roberts Cleary Schuster

Unsure on captain. Will decide later.

15 trades left after making two this week.

Do any bulldogs supporters know what's happening with Kyle Flannagan? Im interested in Averillo but I cant help but feel held back by the fact that Flannagan might eventually pop up again and he goes back to being Duderillo.

If you trade Laurie, you're playing with 16 (well, unless you bring in a wfb under 320 ie Simmo)

True, although I'd be missing the cheapie score which may well be counteracted with Fifita score over Laurie
Is Simmo a bad play given he is fullback this week?

Or just sit tight as I can field 17 and save the trades, have 15 remaining

Thinking about this actually makes a lot of sense. I can trade to a gun and once Papy is back its pretty much a straight swap with Hynes.

I need a cash out this week. Would you go Suaalii as a Teddy handcuff who also plays in R17, or just get Verrills who will be a get at some point anyway?

I mean I’ll probably get both eventually. Suaalii just makes more sense in case Teddy doesn’t actually play this week?

Robbo was pretty firm in saying Teddy will back up.

https://www.roosters.com.au/news/2021/06/10/coachs-media---round-14/

He said he'll get a rest later on (i guess around the rnd 17 bye)

Thoughts on Fog + Stefano to CHN + SST?

16 trades left so per MS's post I think I can go a bit harder at R17.

Means playing Avo HLF & Roberts CTR for the week, but unless I sell one of Cleary, Schuster, Walsh, Pap I'm playing Roberts regardless.

You're trading Sam Walker??

Yeah, most probably. More likely to lose cash than Flegler this week.

Up against Fifita (if he plays)

Trading Pappy and Leniu > CHN and Jones leaves me with this shit show!

Brailey
Watson Crichton iPap
CHN RyMatt
Fog Moses
Bird Crichton
Hynes Laurie Teddy

McCullough Starling Jones Ramsey
Turbo Cleary Walsh Schuster

16 Trades + 399K

Only way I can field 17 this week.

Next week will most likely be Starling and Hynes > Pappy and Lolo/Harris/Other R17 gun
