I like the second option with cheese

Both have no byes left, not likely to be rested and good upside
Mcinnes I am warming on over Murray purely because of that rd26 bye
If you lose a couple and have to cover that bye too then it could be fun

I don’t expect Mcinnes to score huge but 55-60pts from base I can live with and hope he can jag a try
Worst case you can have fun counting tackles

Cheese:
The roosters need to win and score points
They need him out there big mins and to play well if they have any chance
If you can loop in his good scores even better and his mid DPP could be very handy
Not without risk but the upside is there

I have also started noticing a heap of posts/podcasts choosing players based on ‘fun’, I like it
Love this trend, keep it up

If it’s against Lomax, it’ll be the same story it’s been since junior reps where Lomax gives him a bath. 

One is a complete footy player, otherworldly flick passes, high ball threat, great defender who usually ends up having to defend for his winger too, kick goals. The other is made to look good by his surrounding players, only stands out for being tall and looking like a serial killer

Q. Do i want to deathride Drinkwater ?

Q. I could actually keep Drinkwater, and trade out Carrigan instead. But I love Pat.

Q. I could actually keep Drinkwater, and trade out Carrigan instead. But I love Pat. I don't want to do him like that. But it would mean I don't have Haas and Carrigan on a bye at the same time.

Who do you have to play when Haas and Carrigan are on bye?

Kiraz/Ramien are my 18th/19th.

My loose plan was to trade out one of them (carrigan) the week of his bye, assuming chaos between now and then is at a minimum.

Adding Latrell gives me the same problem as above, but a week later (two souths players).

Then Hopgood in round 27.

5 trades now. Assuming at least one injury/suspension. Maybe two..

I think if you want Latrell it should just be for Pat now then. But then that may well be entirely sideways as they could go and average the same and both have a bye.

Pat's been taking it easy out on the edge for the last couple of weeks, he should be fresh and feeling re-invigorated for some big games in the middle lol.

He's also now a try scoring machine.

TD: Leo Thompson

432k is my max budget so can't go any higher than these two and Leo's averaged 41 in games over 40 mins this year (all but 4 of his games), while Rocco has a great draw outside SJ.

This week I am ditching JDB + Hands , and also needing MID + HOK cover

Is Yeo + Mitch Kenny
better than say McInnes + Cheese/Koro

The 2nd player would be 19th man (unless Grant goes down, as they'd be my only hooker cover) so not essential that they are a 50 point gun. But with only 1 trade left, having playable options better than not having options, so have to think about potential injury cover

I voted for Berry because that seems to be what your gut says - go with your gut!
In saying that, as long as you don't complain about everything he does wrong like he's Seve or complain that the Warriors aren't helping his score
