R19 Trade Talk

12 green dots this week but can only play 10

No room for Hands (unless SJ drops out) and 1 of our forwards has to miss out

Any trades we want to make for a short term rental?
WFB the only position it really makes sense, and not sure there are any options there

Maybe we could cash out Cook who misses the next 2 weeks, and we don't need him at hooker with Grant, Robson + Turpin/Hands/Simpkin

Any suggestions chuck them here

I’d be inclined to use both trades. Go hard this week where a lot of people will struggle. And we need CTR and WFB cover beyond R19 anyway

Cook + Turpin OUT

CTR + WFB IN
I think Penis is a legit gun at CTR, and unless unforeseen things happen can set and forget that position with him/Manu/Lemu

WFB would go cheaper (te Whare, Avo, Kris) just because the only gun option is Isaako and I’m not convinced. Plus the cash down gives some more flexibility for R20 when we watch to chase Cleary, top shelf MID, whatever

I think use Grant to loop Simpkin and Hands, and Fifita to loop one of iPap/Preston with Matto

I guess 1 issue with Lemu+Penisini+Manu is when we have our final 17 together, are they all in it?
If not who misses out, and are we happy with that much cash out of out 17 in a non premium position

Manu would well be in our WFB, as unless we trade one in we're relying n Bula every week (and Ponga not getting injured)

or just get Penisini and in a couple of weeks trade out the excess CTR

Who are our priorities with our 8 trades next week?

Some key options would be Haas, Cleary, Murray, DCE, a WFB

Anyone else? And who makes way for the trade ins?
