I think he means even though he plays Rd 13 he`s a trade.

I could be wrong but that`s how I took it

Misses next 2 weeks due to bye next week so likely not worth the R13 score

Ford is averaging 47 in non-injury games and plays first big bye. Don't think he's an obvious trade out, especially if you can cover him being out this week.

I mean now.

Yeah I'm going to trade him out instead of Hammer. So I agree.

talked myself into holding Murray but with Ford out I have moved him on to Drinky rather than doing Ikat to Tewhare and Alamoti to Drinky (which was silly as Ikat i want to keep a TeWhare on a bye)

looking at either holding Alamoti and just play him at 17 or

could go Murray Alamoti to Horse Luki.

Head to Head player so mainly just looking at cash gen

TU: Murray Alamoti to Horse Luki
TD: Hold

Fair but are we confident he walks straight back into the starting side?

If you don't have a bankroll, is there anyone worth trading him to?

I have my eye on Oloapu and Te Whare as downgrades, but this week not sure they are worth trading in this week.

I'm in a similar situation and early thoughts are just hold Murray and do one trade with Ford to Drinkwater.

He's started every game he's been fit for, I don't see why not

Forgot about bye next week, so maybe he is worth a trade, but I might hold this week in the absence of a decent trade option

Couchman needs to go to make 17 this week, looking at Drinkwater as a player till round 16 and to make a bit of cash along the way.

Jee my EDGE's are weak though, Loeiro Ford and Carty (not including Bird). Damn they need some love, starting carty this week hurts... hope he has a high impact bench role again

I think I`m bringing Hopgood back in for Ford.

Pretty confident he doesn`t play origin

Should be really good around the byes and average around that 55 mark.

Hopefully

Thoughts on Hopgood?

holding Murray either going to end really well like it did when he pumped out a 80+ when people were first jumping off him or he keeps putting up spud scores and sheds another 100k.

Jumped off Carrigan who was in a similar spot and it ended poorly.

but yeah banking 2 trades never a bad thing

Probably dependent on whether you need a player this week or not but in the absence of anyone (FWD in particular) jumping out at me I think I'm going to see what happens.

Crossland can have another run for the Aardvarks this week.

I think all of your points above are correct and it's a decent swap

If I hold and trade Murray instead I'm running Alamoti and APK in my 17. So annoying Ford plays the same game as Alamoti so not ideal.

Yeah going to be stressful to hold. Gonna take some nerve to hold to be able to cop another 30 odd score.

Saturday arvo home game against the Tigers.....doesn't mean shit, who am I kidding.

I can do Ford to Bird in one trade. Might be the sensible move

Wouldnt plan on using any others.

Edit actually i have to trade ford to an edge or play an edge short.. lol at some point all the other edges have been traded

A near perfect swap is: Ford + Katoa (phins version) --> Hopgood + Olo. At this stage it's all I am doing. Need an edge so the decision is easy for me.

Bird is an edge don't forget.
