R6 discussion

781 for the week, overall rank of 16833.
Sitting in 5th out of 6 in the celebrity league, we have some work to do.

Any plans for the week?

Nanai and Crichton are ones we could think about moving on, if a good target appears

Everyone appears to be doing Ok enough

1. AFifi (stalled cow) to Taafe

2. SCritta & Nanai to Taafe & TPJ

3. Nothing

Inclined towards 3.

Not much wrong with the team, just a couple of misfiring guns. If Cleary and Tedesco pick up, team will be back on track. I agree that Fifita, Nanai, and SCrichton, are the most likely trade out options but only if a decent option emerges. Not 100% sure Taafe is a great fantasy prospect - although it sounds like he’ll be goal kicking this time around (and Souths have a decent run coming up).

I was thinking do nothing initially but I actually quite like your option 2

It looks like a pretty solid 21 IMO.
There's a couple that are near peak, but you need someone to downgrade to and no-one really stands out at this point (maybe TLT changes things?)

If it's my team, I'd be thinking that it's shaping as an ideal week to hold trades.

In terms of Taafe - BE of low 20's and historically hasn't looked like being anything more than a high 20's scorer.
The Bunnies need to rack up points to add good GK value, and I'm not sure where those tries come from - Walker looks a shadow without Reynold, Taaffe is no Mitchell, Ilias is still growing in the game, and the left edge is not the threat it was with Gagai - the only guys I see going well at this point are Cook, Murray & Graham, but not sure if that's enough to get anywhere near the attacking team they were last year.

TLDR I think we can afford to wait and watch a week on Taaffe

Don't think there is any rush on decisions. Can't see anything obvious.

Some thoughts:

- I'd like to get Aitken in to shore up CTRs as otherwise with his big score he's going to run away for a bit. No obvious trades to get him though.
- Crichton or AFifita to a cow could make sense pending TLT.
- Would need a base price cow to trade both (Crichton and AFifita) for Aitken to be good with current cash. Can't see it personally being worth it.

Probably more general but I don't know how long to hold the panthers CTR pairing for as they are likely peaked but do offer good positional coverage and rd 13 coverage in 8 weeks time........ I'm not sure whether its ahead of the pack to trade them out or just boneheaded to consider it.

Initial thought: Just leave as is for a week

Guys we should look to trade out in the next month

Crichton
Thompson
Nanai
maybe Penisini
Max King will start slowing down too

Trade in targets that will bottom out soon
Angus Crichton ($627)
Trbo ($756k)
McInnes ($615k)

Also guns like Haas, iPap, Cook, Grant, Aitken can be considered

I think strengthening MID is good. If scores are kind this week we can possibly swap Crichtons (Stephen to Angus) next week in 1 trade.
and whatever cheapies turn up that allow that
