So.. I, like many people have a range of trade outs required..
Haas, Luki, Wong, Seyfarth, Sitili, Levi, S. Hughes, Taafee, Hutcho.
Obviously the long term red dots take priority and who knows Wong may end up back in the squad and getting 80 minutes in a week's time. Why is Robbo like this... Is it tempo? Is it 'tism? Is it to spite fantasy players? Or is it he can't coach a bottom 4 side past the semi finals unless he has Cronk or that one weird year where Maloney and Pearce were on fire except in origin when QLD won their 8th series in a row? What is it Robinson? Tell us what goes on in there! Is it because you only made four appearances off the bench, so you like to mess with your own forward pack just so they feel uncertain with their careers as you were?
Onto the trade ins, which I figure some people are considering these guys.
Big Minute Lussick - If he scores a conservative 50 points he should gain around $38k. For anyone unlucky to have Grant he is effective cover for next week. Is a hooker. Lussick is the biggest money maker this week and has a real good chance to be best scorer as well. He is certainly the best option imo and locked in.
Finefeuiaki (FF) - An achievable 40 points makes $33k. He has the lowest scoring potential imo, but makes the third most cash, he is probably my second favourite trade in because of the price and inherent risk being low. He is my current second trade.
Hopgood - If he scores 60, his price stays the same. If he scores 75 he makes $19k. Much more likely to score 60. Comparing him the FF, he is a 20 point difference for 30k, that is a close call to be fair, and probably the bit I am most stuck on.
Hynes - If he gets 65 points the next two weeks he loses drops $32k. Yes he has a bye in 2 weeks, but more point upside + likely having HLF cover through Strange, Galvin, Hutch (Ha!), or Fog for one week makes it manageable. Not a concern Compared to Hopgood he makes 5 more points for a loss of $30k. Less value than Hopgood presents. If you already have Hopgood and prioritise points he is the second best option. (I have Hynes so this point is moot for me)
TM8 - If he gets 50 points he makes $37k this week as well. This makes him the second best cash maker and compared to FF he earns more points and cash. But.. Robinson will do Robinson things which will boggle the mind, and upset the soul. He is a bench forward.. and again Robinson.
Curran - 50 points and $28k for this week. Still a bench prop like TM8, but who knows because he still keeps getting minutes. Second game Faamuasili got HIA'd Instantly, but first game didn't seem like too much injuries to warrant so many minutes. He most likely scores the same or less than everyone but FF on this list, and earns the least money not counting the guns.
So right now I have Lussick and FF locked in, but can definitely see value in making it Hopgood for the points and stability. Right now Ialready have 4 more people to trade out next week. So the cash is winning out due to flexibility.

I do actually like the little ones/feel morally obliged to spend as much time with them as I can while they are still little, as they drain my life force away while driving me mad and ultimately giving my life a greater meaning.
