Just to be clear , I am not advocating trading in  Faataape either.

I think the sensible option is to hold trades

Hold the trade because in all likelihood in the next week or 2 you will have a high priced player get injured that you won't be able to trade for an equivalent.

I've got 8 this week with 7 trades left and I'm not making any trades as a h2h player because it won't benefit my team long term. I'm just taking the L and chilling, you should do the same.

Or ignore me and trade in some dud it will be more funny for me next week

Yeah, if you have one trade left at this point, the only sensible way to spend it is to forget the byes and find someone underpriced who, if all stars align, is a potential keeper in their position. You can't really do an up-and-down trade when the "up" half is in four weeks time.

If you're selling Kelma and have zero bank, then the list of possible keepers is Tago, Wighton and (here's the banter move) Talakai.

B2E said hes 'a chance' for eels. Think its fairly intentionally vague ie he has no idea

Hands could average the same as these options for less.

But more of a gamble on JS i suppose.. but it *seems* like hes rhe starting 9 for the rest of the year

He should be. Lussick is catastrophic. It wasn't all him but his ten minute stint last week "coincided" with the Eels losing the lead and he was hooked shortly after, wasn't he?

I only know it was a toe injury

You wouldn't think so hey. They'd arrive at best Thursday afternoon in NZ, maybe Friday morning. Knowing Kev he'll push them to play - Walsh, Carrigan and Haas.

Definitely some risk with it. My options are kelma to porter or pole. Rewatched the tigers game focusing on porter, looked really good and got 70 minutes on the edge, so not low minutes at all. Looking for him to hold that spot until Bateman is back in r19 or 20. Plays both mid and edge, with a good chance he stays in the team until Ipap returns.

If he fills a role the next few weeks with decent scoring, and frees up $200k for weekes to cleary in 1 trade, then becomes another cash out later, he has done his job.
