40k cheaper.. anyone thinking the same?

Moses/Fog - To'o - nets me 44K left.

Next trade would be Burton to 228K.  I have figured Burtons price at 550K.  Shouldn't drop that much this week but his centres scores aren't that great.  After that trade plus 44K I would have 366K.

Next trade I'm looking at possibly would be Verrills to a 228K.  This would mean Verrills raising 10K, which should be fine.

Then Cleary would come in for Hynes but in round 21.  This would mean Hynes maintaining his price though, which is risky.  Although, hopefully Cleary drops a little, but a lot needs to go my way.  Doing all this means I can keep Fog as 17th man and Peach and Laurie as 18th and 19th man.  Would leave 2 trades and hopefully this team;

Brailey
Haas Tolo IPap
Fifita Crichton
SJ Cleary
Bird Manu
To'o Ted Walsh

AFB CHN Watson Fog

Peach Laurie 228K 228K

If it doesn't work, I'd keep Verrills and trade Laurie to cheapie depending on how much I need.  Might get me a bit better depth if the player I trade plays every week.  I've done a few other options, but this looks the best.  other option is Mitchell over To'o for the extra 100K to play with if prices don't fall my way.  Running with 2 basement guys though is risky AF.  Keeping Fog or Moses though is interchangeable with Moses maybe back next week.

other option would be getting a different 17th man.  Basically trading Fog/Moses instead of Burton but then using the fourth trade of my plan to turn Burton into a Radley or someone more reliable.

7 trades and 500k left.

Mahoney
Haas, Lodge, Radley
Fifita, Wilton
SJ, ARey
Burton, Olam
Hynes, Teddy, Walsh

Watson, Schuster, Brailey, Latrell
Pappy, Verrills, Moses, Fog

Have a bit of flexibility this week to deal with the Hynes/Pappy situation. Will steer away from Turbo and hope my guys can keep it respectable over the last 7 games.

Thoughts on some options to improve? Or just save my trades for some carnage.

Hopefully wolfie is meaning basement price players who are expected to play majority of the games (Chambers, Ieremia etc)

Tough one mate very tough. Flip a coin maybe.

Whichever one you think is back first I would hold.

I can do Tohu to Murray or Lodge I’m thinking Murray.

Then I have 4 trades left.

I can trade out Moses to but I can still hold and have an interchange of Walsh, Schuster, Brailey and Haumole this week. Is that still strong enough? Then re assess next week.

Then decide next week whether I go Moses to a Mahoney but I know I’d have to pay a bit more... or I also could do Hynes to a 228k player and upgrade Moses to Cleary. It would mean I wouldn’t have Mahoney and Ponga though and just 19 green dots rather than the 20 green dots if I opt to go without Cleary.

Re Cleary I have a feeling he won’t be back round 20 either and it’ll be 21 or 22. So maybe I should just forego Cleary. Will he be the same scorer is another doubt I have.

If they bring Cleary back round 20 Penrith don’t have much to gain out of it v the Storm other than the Storm hammer and expose Cleary’s shoulder and possibly make it even worse!
