Egan & Cheese
For Preston & Tohu?
Or
Talau & Cheese
For Preston & Bird?

Such a hard decision.

Don't overthink it mate. Trade out the two injured guys. Can re-evaluate Butcher next week.

I think I will I badly wanted Tohu but centre is more volatile.

I was going to say if you play Hopgood on the bench he is great cover and you won't have to buy someone you don't want but looks like a lot of teams loaded up on EDGs  (plus It does mean you can't captain him if that is your preference).

My current plan is Cheese + Ford -> Robson + Preston.

Advantage of this is not having to worry about hooker with Smith, Boyd et al being duds so far. However I'm not super keen on trading Ford, still think he has decent money to make and trading him leaves me without mid cover.

So the other option I'm considering is Butcher + Cheese to gun HOK (could afford anyone) + Preston. This leaves better squad balance long term with Ford still covering mid, but a weaker 17 this week as I'd have to loop AKP and I Katoa hope for something playable, with Doorey also moving up to 16. I'm also not that keen on selling Butcher as I think he'll come good, but I have an overabundance of EDG options (Katoa, Loiero, Hopgod, Carty, Doorey, Preston) and he seems the one least likely to make money immediately.

There's also the option of Smith + Ford to Tohu + Preston. That leaves me with MID cover but no HOK cover, with Boyd at hooker and I Katoa filling in at HLF this week.

So to summarise (assuming Smith out and Preston in is a constant in all 3 scenarios):

a) Ford to Robson, leaving no MID cover and Doorey/I Katoa in the loop
b) E Butcher to gun HOK. Could afford Cook/Grant and still have a bit of bank left, but a weaker 17 this week with Doorey playing and I Katoa/AKP in the loop.
c) Ford to Tohu, leaving no HOK cover, Boyd at HOK, I Katoa filling in at HLF, and Doorey/AKP in the loop.

It's a bit of a mess whatever way I do it. I'm starting to think B makes the most sense when I put it like that - can afford a premium gun, maintain solid cover when Ford is back next week, and still have ~100-200k to play with depending on who I get out of Robson/Grant/Cook.

Very similar boat to you mate. Dilemma is Reed v Robson v Grant I think.
Reed offers a lot of value at a lower price, no risk of Origin and he looks to have a much larger influence on the team - kicking, running, attacking returns etc
Robson is a gun 80 min hooker, has a great bye schedule but a higher BE and may be priced about right at the mo
Grant - a genuine captaincy option most weeks, looks lively everytime he gets his hands on the ball and someone you hate to watch as a non owner. Kicks the ball, runs it and tackles a lot.

When I write it out I feel like Grant;s the guy, but damn Reed's potential and extra cash are enticing, and Reece's schedule.

Eek!

I feel ya, mate. AI-generated content is cool, but using it for articles or blogs can be a bit funny since it lacks the unpredictability of humans. We've come a long way though, and who knows what the future holds? Let's appreciate both human and AI contributions. Cheers!
