Can you afford the extra $30k to just get Bird instead of Doueihi?

Hate to give you advice which will let you overtake me, but you don't need Douehi right now, you need two centres (including Burton).

Thanks mate, I do appreciate it considering how much closer we are now in the rankings.

As above I will probably prioritise Burton this week as per original trades with DCE. Maybe Garner reverts back for the start pre game. Possibility surely.

Welshy wrote:

Yeah mate, Doueihi just a luxury trade at this point I think.

Scoring potential in the halves push him far higher up the pecking list as a scoring over Bird though

Maybe Bird and Burton/Manu this week and hold on Doueihi?

Fortitude wrote:What’s the priority for my bunch?

Players I’m considering (not all at once)
Burton
Teddy
Cook
Tapine/young
Mitchel
Team as it stands.

Robson
Angus, Ipap. Barnet
Matterson, Elliot
Cleary, dce
Aitken. Tago
Pappy, hynes. Koula

Hughes, Mahoney, mam, jing
Thompson, volkman, pole, penis

Im tempted to forgo Burton, and run with aitken as the two ctrs.

Bringing in Mitchel, as a poor man’s tedesco allows me to use koula to cover ctrs as well.

Also, can use koula to cover tago, if I’m short in edg position.

In terms of trade outs. Priorties for me are

Penis
Jing
Leo
Mam.

Could also punt matterson.

Looking at:

Penis to Mitchell

Leaves me with 120k and 5 (+4) trades.

I've got no hooker cover since I dumper Cotter and Robbo  

Team features some guys on apparent fantasy downslope Harris/Friz/Garner. Potentially Elliott if only playing 50 minutes.

Do I need to look elsehwere with trades this week? Before trades I've got 4 + 4 trades and $566,000 bank

Cook
Lolo, Barnett, Yeo
Crichton, IPap
Moses, Cleary
Garner, Penisini
Hynes, Papy, Latrell

Elliott
Friz
Harris
To'o

Koula
Mam
Lee
Trindall


Guys I definitely want for run are DCE, Haas (at current price)and a top line CTR. Guys I would like Burton, Cotter, Doohickey if back to huge scoring half role.

Current proposed trades have me at

To'o - Doueihi
Penisini - Burton
Mam - DCE


I think, re-looking at the trades I probably need to find a stronger CTR option than Garner over chasing Doohickey, this might mean having to bypass Burton and his mega price and getting 2 of the next tier (Manu and Bird) or getting Burton and running Koula maybe?

Think I'm going to need to get some advice on these trades moving forward? Maybe just the 1 big time CTR and run Koula? Would mean i save the trade for later upgrade of Harris - Haas?

Yeah Bird + Burton + DCE would be great trade in's and you need those two centres.

If you really wanted Doueihi you could do Garner to him as a 4th trade but realise that would leave you with only the 4 extra trades

I'd be tempted with Douieihi over Latrell mate, and working the funds to get Cook in

What do you do if Cook rested last game of the round? It's likely you won't know for sure either until an hour before the game, or least 24hrs before the game. I think you need a plan there. Cotter isn't available this week. Not keen on Grant? With your back three and Cleary Moses and planning to get DCE you don't really need Douehi and either and he probably has a high BE this week anyway. My quick assessment is you need a hooker back up and at least one centre.

Fortitude wrote:

Douieihi is a gun, but so is trell. Feel like he has more pedigree, but you have to accept the odd “lazy” game/score.

Can go Matterson to cook in one trade. No brainer?

Welshy wrote:

Defo a hit and hope on Cook backing up. I'm not overly keen on Grant and won't get Robbo back after dumping him.

Reason I want Cotter is the hooker cover he provides and all over mid support. Guess I need Cook to back up and hope Cotter returns next week.

Agree on other assessments.

Cowboys said (a week ago) that Cotter is 2 weeks into a 6-8 week rehab period, so at best he's back round 20 (missing Origin 2, R16, R17/Origin 3, R18, R19), more likely round 21 or 22

Fortitude wrote:If you can’t have Burton. Who do you bring in? Top ctrs are skin picking.

Averages would suggest:

Manu
Ramien (120k cheaper)

L3 averages

Bird (50k cheaper)
Ramien

Ramiens value is inflated by a big score lst week. With 3 tries. Wouldn’t touch him

Bird, has had two decent scores in two games. But, plenty of trash this week.

Manu, more expensive. But has some great scores in there. Floor not as low.

Manu has to be the pick as the poor man’s Burton. Surely.

Welshy wrote:

Ugghh that is not the most welcome news.

But still, If Cook backs up this week, I guess I don't actually need hooker cover minus something catastrophic happening to him between backing up and Cotter returning.
