I just did a quick carrigan + Trindall to Hynes + hands
Left smith for cover but plenty of options on the table
Really depends on the bench cover too

Pre TLT might as well have some fun

I guess with Ford proving to be stronger than we thought, there is room to upgrade Carrigan to a super gun. Juicy!!

Changing SJ trade to Wakeham cost me 1k score but have funds for Hynes now I guess. Need Brailey as no backup hooker and figured Hosking must buy if named hmm decisions

Robson
Haas Hopgood Ford
Cartwright Katoa
Hynes Cleary
Bird Alamoti
HTF Miller Warbrick

Moses, Preston, Loiero, Chee Kam

Cheese, Lawton, Hands, IKatoa

Looks very nice.
No depth at WFB/CTR but that can be addressed next week, also need another MID.

With only $189k and my bench looking like SSH, ITT, Doorey, BMM, Boyd, Trindall, it appears I’m in a spot of bother. Anything I’m considering just doesn’t feel like it’s the right move. Do I go BMM. to Hands?? I can do Trindall to Hosking(should he hold his spot), leaving me 40k, or Trindall to Hands, leaving me $325k to try and get Hynes after the Sharks bye. Somehow, I know, Moylan will do a hammy and Trcky Trindall will again become relevant. Last option is to do nothing and hope players 16 and 17 can combine for 40 points.

Realised I can do Trindall to Ford and have $198k.

did Hands take over for Hooker with Hodgson benched?

would be nice to pocket some cash for Trindal and he would actually be my Hooker cover as going just Robson at the moment.

AKP for an attempt at a cash grab?
Lawton if Croker is out a few more weeks?

Anyone else?

Couchman?

I think Trindall to Ford is the best value play imo.

I think anyone is better than BMM, plus half cover could come in handy

Absolutely...I traded him in over Sloan a few weeks ago, having seen him play & in full knowledge that he has a history of scoring shit but binded by the logic of the 'starting edge theorem'.

I think this year has definitely proved that if a player has an ordinary scoring history they probably need about 160 mins on the edge each week to make it worth it

Yes he did take over the Hooker duties. He's not a top 30 player yet so not sure about JS or minutes moving forward.

Cheese is a mid if I keep him.
I have enough cash and can trade to get jbrailey and Tedesco next week which moves warbrick to the bench
HTF is DPP centre

Will you sell Tofu even if he is named this week?

Thanks for the feedback - don't know how to do multiple quotes - Tofu hasn't been named, I've gone Chin (feel completely stupid as I sold him on the bye to pick up Tofu 2 rounds ago.).
Currently Chin + Hosking (TL dependent) for Tofu + Trindall.
Needed a half anyway.
No Hooker or Mid cover for this week.
Grab the family jewells and hold on.

AKP on the bye won’t make any cash this week

I need another MID to get rid of Sutton, I think it might be Blake Lawrie...... Talk me out of a 615K mid that's averaging 55, all in base' and plays R13 & R19

With a decent bench I am thinking that may be the play otherwise I am just parking points like this week.
Potential for captain points too more than makes up for any carrigan v Ford difference and it will be hard to find the cash for him.
Though we get 3 trades soon so really depends on the cheapies

Don’t have to make any decisions now
