Shit I would still feel genuinely bad about the situation, but no one in there right mind would be like.. nah dont pay me.

For $400k what would you rather do?

Pay Moses Mbye to play for someone else
Pay Connor Watson to play for, with money left over.

But that is one reason why clubs like the Tigers can't get out of the shithouse. There is a 0% chance of someone like Connor Watson ever accepting a $300k deal to play for us
Our only options are to pay massive overs for has-beens, or buy young guys and hope they turn out good. Guys like Laurie and Utoikamanu are looking like better options than Packer/Mbye

Cook

Bird, avo
Turbo, teddy, Walsh

Rapana, Burton, Verrils, hynes

Tolo, CHN, angus, cheese.

If I do CHN to Curran. It gives me an 18th green dot with no obvious person to shift to the pine. If I don’t make the trade this week and Curran scores more than 35, I won’t be able to afford him next week.

Walsh, Moses, Brailey, Lodge
Pappy, Fog, Verrills, Wilton

Cheers

Tossing up similar thoughts on question 2.

With one trade left, it’s looking thin. I have good cover in terms of green dots, but a bench of rapana, Verrils, Burton, hynes. Red dots for this week are cheese, tolo, CHN, angus.

Angus is two weeks away, CHN is gone, cheese will be back next week surely and maybe tolo. So I have options going forward to cover injuries. So getting a better player now, at the expense of CHN or Angus is tempting.

In your case, I’d probably do it. Two reasons, he is the form scorer and can likely give you 3 lots of a score that you’re holding Angus to give you one. Second, you keep non touch with those that do have him. This all depends on how your coverage in other positions is. If it’s strong, lock it in. If it sucks, I’d be careful.

As for the actual bench setup, too early for me.. Maybe the loop thread.

WT Winfield wrote:

That wasn't a 'take that shit to the loop thread' btw My simple setup would be:

Moses
Pap
Brailey
Lodge

Foggy
Walsh

Or switch Walsh and Brailey if wanting to back Walsh.

Not sure if there's more complicated ones that you can get fancy with though.

Going well thanks legend! Working hard on it. Ran 5k and squatted decent weight again on the weekend just gone which felt nice to be back doing something normal. Weird to think I have 9 months left to go haha

I remember when it first came out they said it wasn't actually that bad and he could play through the pain. Not sure it is really worth it? I guess you still want to play your million dollar man if he is fit enough though.

Seems to be at fairly long odds to play I'd say.

TP said he trained yesterday, but it's all been non-contact.
Like you say, a pain management issue, but really only has two training sessions to show he's ready.

I think he's a fair chance for next week, but would be very surprised if he suits up this week.

CHN & Verrills out - Cook & Papy in

Leaves Angus as the only red dot and cover for every position

TBH it's probably a two week manoeuvre just to be safe
