R10 Trade talk

899 for the round a small rank climb to 673

$374k in the bank gives us options

Do we make a play for Hynes?
Latrell, Horsbrugh, Fifita? Any guns in the discount shop we want to look at?

Drinkwater or any other bye options worth bringing in?

Or just bank some trades.
Post suggestions here

With that bank, we could go Walsh & ITT to Hynes and cheapie?

Worth a shot to grab Hynes as Bula looks a fun player to slot into the Walsh spot this week at least and his money can be well spent
2 above average scores and he looks capable of a decent play so don't think we lose a huge amount in points but not without risk
Even as a placeholder until the byes/Miller returns next week most will probably play him too so mitigates the risk a bit too.

Then whatever cheap player people want to vote on, gut feel is there will be a few cheapies this week for under 320k

how has alamoti not been traded yet?

Last week only 1 of the 25 people that voted on trades wanted Alamoti gone

The week before only 4 out of 30 wanted him out

Hardly a large consensus

Sorry wasn’t meant as a criticism and I happily abide by the group vote (prolly has been more pressing people each round)

Just seems silly to be so subscribed in centre

To be honest, at this point I'd still dump ITT before Alamoti.

Probably just keeps in the team due to bigger priorities

I wouldn't want to be getting rid of Walsh right before he carves up Manly.

Outs: ITT, McInnes

Ins: Horsburgh, ???

ITT not an urgent trade but looks like he'll be a red dot going forward.

Pre trades we need to play 2 of Host, Bula, Alamoti, KNik (Miller on bye and ITT not in first grade)

So first priority is upgrading at least one of them

If we trade Walsh to Hynes
then its Alamoti to $355k or lower or ITT to $319k or lower
Does give us Hynes, but doesn't help depth at all

We can do straight ITT to Horse in single trade

ITT + Alamoti to Fifita + $276k

McInnes to Horse leave us with a decent bank for Alamoti/ITT as 2nd trade

Possible cheapies
Oloapu $239k

Its pretty dicey after that
Hodgson is down to $328k, people started with him (and some people traded him in after a good round 1 score)
Mby1 is $311k if you think Liddle might stay out of first grade
Take a punt on Te Whare (probably safer to wait until after the bye)

I guess first call is Hynes or not
and if not then is Horse next best option - or go someone like Fifita/NAS maybe even Moses
