Off the top of my head,

Sorenson (pen)
Elliot (can)
Hess (North Queensland)
Walker (manly)
Lodge (nz)
Eisenhuth (pen)

But there’s a reason their prices there, each have lots of problems with minutes, job security, ppm and being crap

The only one I think has potential is Adam Elliot if he can carve out a big minute role and regain form for Canberra, which he has failed to do so far

Lodge maybe? (In other words, not really)

I'm not sure really, will have to wait on news. Might just miss a week?

I haven't pulled the trigger on trades yet but I guess bolstering MID by grabbing Tevaga might be a good idea for coverage.

If Elliot was named at 13 again this week i probably my would have taken the bait.

I didn't realize walker was available at mid. Even so, I'll probably wait on him until he's actually named in Rd13 if I were going to get him.

I'd add Jaiman Jolliffe and Isaac Liu to the list - plodders, but no worse than the alternatives and probably more consistent

Forgot to mention earlier with all the other noise going on decided to skip Tevaga and going to grab DFifita instead
Was grabbing him last week but him playing centre meant I got a chance to do more urgent trades
Set and forget one edge position, and will offset it with Tuilagi who can provide cash and cover
Still leaves me with 138k which will probably be Wilton (bench) to tpj/acrichton/Tedesco

With Ilias providing cover and Schneider still playable and earning I am giving Hastings a miss and will look at going straight to a keeper instead

Cheese possibly

Disregard..

Key take-outs.

Who was that slob getting a bath from Staggs?
Never take insurance against a dealer Ace.
Hynes almost became a MUCH better looking Cleary, but ran out of steam.
Walters maybe doesn't rot or just taunts us with his evil again.

Wish I could trust WSmith to keep his spot and average around 35. Titans sucking and Brimson going back to the halves when Campbell returns puts me off

I'm not unhappy about getting Talakai. I thought Broncos would have a plan to contain him. It was either get him this week or not at all. I think Warriors are going to dusted by Sharks next week. The Sharks draw is Warriors Raiders Titans Roosters Warriors Titans Dogs. That's why I decided to jump on

Also Gamble is awful

I wasn't trading Mann but this Haas situation confirms it. It will depend on the news but if he's misses at least 2 games he's probably a sell to I. Papalii, Cook or Grant for me.

Don't think campbell is coming back anytime soon.

Another Sloane, just isn't ready.

Played QCup last week and didn't do much.

Wondering if I should do something like Clark/Nanai to Smith/TPJ

Will have to play both in the 17 so probably better to go the Hastings/Tevaga route

Needs a couple of years in ressies to get used to physical side of the game

Sloan much more first grade ready for mine

Going to consider it.

Can double trade Wilton + Haas to 2 big guns if it looks like Haas will miss games and/or be injury affected when he plays

How would you order these trade outs?

Mann, Nanai, Clark?

Likely bringing in Tevaga and Hastings

I think Sloan is more first grade ready than Campbell, but still not ready, if that makes sense. Think still has too many mistakes in him - has the most handling errors in NSW Cup, although that can be misleading stat without context. Could still be less error prone than Dufty though.

Dragons ressies the first 4 matches were massive losses (6-34, 6-52, 10-50, 12-44). Next three are wins (30-26, 42-14, 30-14).

Jayden Sullivan missed the first 4, played the next 3. Probably not the only reason for the turnaround, but I wonder if he jumps ahead of Amone soon. His haircut is definitely NRL ready.

Mann seems like a popular out this week but I don't really see him as needing to go. I haven't seen much of the Knights lately but from what I understand he's been mr fix it which has hurt his scores (plus Knights bad?). They must be due a bit of injury luck, surely can't keep happening every week. Me, I'd rather trade the other two.

Tanah Boyd back this week too, I don't know if he eats into Clarks mins a little.

There's an argument to hold all, but if you need to sell I think the key question is: Do you own Haas and what's you MID cover like?

I would probably say Nanai #1 anyway, but I think it's a much clearer choice if Haas is a factor. Makes it harder to sell Mann.

Clark I'm holding for a couple more weeks, and possibly to R13.
