Could be but I'm not hanging around for a couple of weeks of 30's to find out. If trades are tight he's probably a wait and see but anything over 6 and I think he's worth a trade (I've gone him to Brown for HLF cover)

I have 7 and would like to use 2 max this week and have terrible MID cover so looking for reason to hold at least another week

Yeah, might be prudent to hold. I'm wavering on a Fainu to Curran trade which would leave me with 5...6 trades looks better but Curran looks better in spot 17.

Anyone else got 1 trade left?

A good option, just not sure I'm keen on relying on him continuing to average 1.5 tries per game. Am warming to the idea though.

No byes either

No news is bad news?

I need some news
To get Cleary and Yeo I can either trade
Plath and weekes or
Mitchell and KPP/Fainu/Smithies

If Mitchell is back Rd23 is he a hold?

If still holding and confirmed back to play last 5 games that's a massive POD

Bateman to the Rabbits in 2025

Munster playing this week apparently.

Confirmed? Or just from the fox article that basically said "Wayne likes Bateman so he'll probably go to Souths"

Been away for a bit - travelling and general post-Origin misery.

Ah well. On the plus side this week the team looks a little better than it did last

Plath, Moale, Iro, Fainu going out.

Cleary, Yeo, Teddy, Walsh coming in.


Could have left too much cash on the sidelines for a while. Possibly.

OUT:
Sharpe
Bateman

IN:
Savage
Starling

Leaves me with three trades and some cash to upgrade next week if I have to.


CONS:
Holding Fa'alogo. If Storm players include Papenhuyzen then he could be a good option that week assuming he's not also rested. Still a green dot so could come into play if Paps goes down again.
Holding Brailey. Honestly probably gets traded next week but I can get 17/18 on the park this week so no need to rush a trade in.
Holding Manu. Can't afford to trade out a 50ish averaging player who'll play majority of the remaining rounds. Have to survive playing Savage/Fa'alogo until he's back.

Just feel I cannot afford to trade green dots. Don't care if they lose money in the meantime, there's a chance they could each come back to good scoring (Brailey promoted to starting/Crossland injured, Fa'alogo covering both FB and WG for Storm)

Basically set on my trades

Sharpe/Yeo
Plath/Brown

and will do Wishart/Ponga if Munster is in and play Gray this week. Will make that trade next week if Wishart is not in the 17 but can't afford Ponga if he gets a low score off the bench.

Not 100% but not from FOX either. I wouldn't bet on him being back at the Tigers

Will hold Weekes one more game and hope he jags a try

Tin foil hat on - If Reyno looks like turning the Broncos ship around for a finals run, the Storm would like to keep the option open to halt that in Round 27 rather than deeper in September.
