In the current fantasy landscape I don't think selling makes sense

1) There is a shortage of guns to spend cash on. With Cleary, Hynes, SJ all out among other guns there is really nowhere to put the cash if you sell
2) There is daylight between Angus/Fifita and the next best edge scorer. A few weeks ago it was looking like Bateman, Nikora, KPP could score well throughout the byes , make a bit of cash along the way then be flipped to keepers for the run home, or held all year if trades were light. Bateman could be out for 8 weeks, KPP is suddenly coming off the bench and Nikora just lost his chief playmaker.

The trade out might have made sense if you were holding Cleary/Hynes through the byes, grabbing someone like Bateman who could put up respectable points while gaining a bit of cash and hoping Angus drops a bit to make the return trade a little easier.

Unless things change significantly in the next few weeks Angus is a firm hold IMO

a bit of a wfb crisis for some, with Turbo out, and Bennett said HTF will be back at FB this week too in the presser, so Fuller may join Chevy, unless he fits elsewhere in the team?

100% agree with this.

Though I’m wondering if iPap steps up with Bateman out.


Also solidifies Fainu’s spot - whatever that’s worth.

IPap will be suspended this week unless he successfully challenges the tripping charge.

Yeah makes him an easy one to look at Rd 14, if starting LK Rd 12 and 14 and should get DPP. I'm surprised it's taken this long for him to get some time there. Started lock a few times at Eels and was regularly starting edge and moving to lock for ~20 mins before coming to Tigers.

Ugh really. So much for just a 2 week rest Ricky.

Will need to sell then he'll probably return for rd13.

Canberra players aren't locked out. So if you have a trade left this round its still possible to trade Chevy to Weekes and keep 3 trades for post TLT

Ipap Lock has definitely peaked my interest. When he scored well on the edge at the Eels he did a lot of work in the middle, I haven't seen him do that as much at the Tigers, but at 13 his work rate should pick up.

Tried it last night and you couldn’t do it. Says we are lifting lockout
