I'm pretty sure about two of the three trades I plan on doing this week, which are:

Alvaro to Simo
Momo to Avo

The issue is with the third trade, where I will be selling Laurie. I have three main options here, and need help deciding which one to take.

A: Buy SJ (0k in the bank) as a keeper, and then have to find a keeper at around 550k most likely in order to afford selling Hynes and Watson for Tohu and that keeper

B: Buy Timoko (300k in the bank) as a cashout, then safely go Hynes and Watto to SJ and Tohu next week with ~200k left over for getting Fifita back with after the bye

C: Buy Olakau'atu (222k in the bank) as a 17th/18th man and do the SJ/Tohu trade as planned next week. I trade some money that could be used for Fifita for a bit more depth in the forward pack, as I'm rather short of it at the moment.

Yeah I made that move, but Paix keeps hanging around and Turpins service is Lichaa levels

How long is Timiko hanging around for?

This might be week for Cleary, been making inroads last 2 weeks and don't want to get sent backwards again

I say inroads but still ranking in the 11000s lol

Desperate for Fifita too, but he probably only plays two of the next four so even if he tons up twice a Rnd 17 50+ point player likely to outscore him. Will just have to hide behind sofa when Titans are playing

Schuster - didn't get through fitness test last week. They're being cautious and want him 100%, hopeful of return against Bulldogs.

It’s a bit of a wasteland for R17…..none of Trbo, Ponga, Latrell, Teddy, Papy, even To’o are going to play and you probably don’t want anyone else

The word 'hopefuly' doesn't sound great, but round 16 is two weeks away so that's good news for his return. I'd hate to hold him only for him to come back as a utility with Lawton doing really well. Considering a trade this week.

Other than Simo I don't see any round 17 WFBs worth grabbing. This makes Ponga, Latrell etc more appealing as they miss the same number of games as a round 13 guy, but score more points

Lawton is half the player tbh. Schu straight back in imo.

I am considering Simmo back in as an alternative to Walsh, but to sit outside of 'best 17'..

Would allow me to get a proper gun after origin 3.

The alternative is get Walsh who continues to score well and is an easy transition to a Ponga in rnd 18/19
