Would you hold someone like Uto who is going to peak soon? Or would you still trade him, but to a short term prospect rather than a R13 guy?
In the past it meant pick up guns who are value who won't play origin when you can. Harris was a good example this year, just unlucky he got injured. Other years it was Lolo/Surgess/McInnes etc if they had a price drop for some reason. Guns who
might play origin or aren't particularly good value wait until the week before, you get four trades (or at least you did not sure now) should be plenty. And you would try and hold blokes who are peaking but playable (Like Uto) as long possible to bank some trades for the byes.
But the bye every week makes that harder. I'd probably hold Uto this week and sell the following week when on the bye. But rather selling for a bye round target, there's still time for a short term cash cow if one appears.
