Summary: After a few good weeks, the wheels have fallen off and we would be lucky to beat the Broncos. Watch the olympics instead.

TU: no trades or
TU: lucas to yeo although lucas this week vs wests could go large & this is what is stopping me doing that trade maybe do it in the following weeks.

cheers

The cheapest guy in my team is Hands at $445k. I've had at least one bye player to do looping with every week so that helps but even without that I think you just try pick the right one out of the dirty middies, and unless there is somehow no carnage near the end it will likely pay off.

Agree with the sentiment but it still depends how your team is going.
Risk and reward stuff.

Just like in an actual game where a team leading by 20 can complete their sets and kick to the corner.
My team on the other hand, now needs to throw it out wide on tackle #1, or start chipping and chasing.....

For that reason, I'm even considering a 2nd sub-300k shitto
I'll either mow down the theoretical 20 point deficit....or I'll get pumped by 50

Becoming less sure about Sorensen to Ola. It would be an upgrade no doubt but if Sorensen plays 80 again from here on and scores like he had been before this week he averages 48 playing over 70mins. So would definitely be unnecessary if he could manage that the rest of the way.

Not sure what the deal was with the reduced minutes last week though, would hate for it to happen again and get priced out of the move next week.

Itchy trade fingers and limited options playing their part in the thinking too.

same here, Hands is my cheapest player.
Those with more than 4 trades can probably afford to run with a sub 300k cheapie

You don't Your wife doesn't even have Lucas in 17 so how a trade and I'll be playing him vs Tigers without a second thought

With 3 trades left, don’t think it’s worth getting 2 out to make any moves

Instead will hope I get the loop right and guess correctly which of Fainu and Uto to play
