I think those that miss a Trbojevic at $288k coming off a 64 with a negative BE, will look back on that decision in a few weeks, going what was I thinking? Harper has played his way out of the team, at the same time as Burbo has played his way into it. Parker is out for a while. Plays the bye. With Turbo playing, Manly backs can score anything.

Starting HOK available at MID, has the spot for a while through injury, but could easily keep it on merit. Is a much better player than Verrills, who was getting big minutes and decent scoring before injury.

Could easily gun it in that Roosters team, rather than knights where he averaged 58 at HOK under old rules. 60+ average certainly not out of the question for him. Plays the bye, massive POD, potential $605k keeper.

Ben Trbojevic scored 2 tries playing 80 minutes in the edge.

Now he's in the centres, what sort of average would you expect. He'll make money if he stays in the team, but will it be enough to justify 2 trades?

I cannot see a stronger rationale for a trade-in for ages.

He fills the gap at WFB. Has been putting up keeper scores already on the WNG, is goal kicking and plays for the storm. He will get additional games right across the origin period - perhaps even at HLF. What is not to like?

You cant say he is putting up keeper scores on the wing and just ignore the 10 and 11 in rounds 4 and 5

Thats just what wingers do.

Pookus McFly wrote:Ive definitely got a bye-fixation when it comes to Schneider. Selling him is a resolution to running one less bye player because Burton is the only other R13 half worth buying. That said, even if he sticks around until then, an average of 25 could see him lose 100k. I think he has to go.

Schneider>Burton

I also need to trade out Paps. My preference is just to go straight to Turbo (like for like trade with a top 3 WFB), as getting Tom in as early as possible maximizes his value before losing games over origin. I was just about sold on this trade, but I probably need to prioritize Elliott due to his breakeven. I can loop Koula and Critter for the week with Pap's red dot- if it works out I might even feel emboldened to roll that dice again. I suspect I won't be as hot on Turbo next week when he only has two games before the bye period, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it

Tuilagi>Elliott

I like those trades...I will do Schneider to Burton myself but it's more do do with the decline in his stats his km's & rm's are down & the assumption with Frawley starting was Schneider would be the dominant half but this proved untrue. Then we have Wighton back rd. 11 & then we have Fogarty seeming like he will be back within the next couple of weeks which means Schneider won't play rd. 13 so it's pointless holding on to him especially as you said he will lose money. So I agree Schneider has to go.
