I don’t really buy the Cleary might ease back into it argument. He’s always thrown himself into the defensive work and I can’t see that changing once he’s fit enough to return.

I may go DCE but not sure yet!

One problem with the hold option is that when I plan out my trades I find one of my last trades is Burton to Fifita/Turbo (which was always the plan actually after rd18). The problem is if Cleary is out for the longer end of the estimate and I find myself wanting to hold Burton, but positional requirements require me to sell him whilst still holding a Cleary red dot. Or I might find myself playing Simmo instead of Turbo because I'm waiting to sell Burton. I guess an injury would probably come along to sell instead I suppose.

Selling Cleary and getting in Harris and Turbo does actually improve my team this week. And it would result in my final (planned) trade being Burton to Cleary which is nice. It would however probably require a cash out next week and holding about 700k itb until Cleary gets back. So really I'd only be spending the Cleary cash for one week, which isn't ideal, but I don't have the trades to do a lot better I think. Neither option is great.

My plan is Crichton this week, Taumalolo next week, and Fifita R18/19 (depending on him backing up from origin)

that is 3 of my last 7 trades

Of the last 4
one is for Papy/Ponga/3rd WFB
one is reserved for getting Cleary back (on the off chance i can actually afford it)

2 are for injuries, or to upgrade Ryan Matterson / Luke Thompson if I get the chance.

I will run out of trades very early this year, but it is what it is.

What are you doing for players who are made to quarantine due to COVID at no fault of their own (eg. Curran)? Free trade? Apply their average for the weeks they are set to miss?

I like the balls of starting on the basis that compensation if a player is quarantining for COVID is a given, so the question is just about the terms of the compensation..

This is why we got free trades last year.
