From the rules
“Once the season begins, you are allocated a maximum of two Trades per week. During the bye weeks, users will be allocated an extra trade. Therefore, during the bye weeks, users will have 3 trades. The Trades DO NOT accumulate, thus if you don’t use two Trades one week you are still limited to only two Trades the following week.“

Doesn't say what the bye weeks are,  but in the past it's only been the big bye rounds (12, 15, 18 this year) and kept at 2 for the smaller bye rounds

Milch the saviour once again. Swear I was looking in the rules just last week for this .

I have all 3, plus Hymel and TMM

Ted to Aitken and TMM to Lamb this week.

I can wait a week or 2 for Mannering to return.

JDB will probably become Frizell once Origin teams are named.

Hunt will linger for a while yet.

Well, there you have it ladies and gents, reverse those Lamb and Aitken trades ASAP.
Thanks for the heads up SI!

You are welcome!

Are there any decent cashout options in WFB or CTR? I have 3 to get rid of and probably 2 will have to be downgrades.

No. Don't get him. He'll only get injured.

Alright, he's in. Now I gotta work out who to trade him out for; Taylor, Feeny, Gordon or Mansour.

How likely is Vai Toutai to hang around all the way through the byes?

You'd think he wouldn't survive a Foran return, but might be good for byes with Jennings on origin duty

Until Foran is back, I would guess. Whenever that might be. But who knows with the Eels right now?

Haha feel like going Feeney and Littlejohn > Lamb and Toutai for byes and red dot removal. Leaves me with JDB and Scott as my only two red dots

Don't know how decent he'd be but Tyrone Phillips is dirt cheap and will hang around for a bit especially with the origin period coming up and Hoppa not around for a few rounds

Thanks guys, might be worth the cash-out then

Feeny, he can't get injured if he's not playing. The others have made or lost most of their money so are kind of holds.

If Peats gets moved on from Para, does De Gois at 220k become a bye hooker option? (3 x 40's without Peats).

Also anyone Cooper from the Dragons with JDB out?

I'm gambling on Curtis Scott.

Pro's: 129k, dual-position, returned from injury a couple of weeks ago and starred in Storm's Holden Cup game, played for Jnr Kangaroos on the weekend too. Is primarily a centre and Harris and Hampton have been named there this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if Scott came in for Hampton or Harris shifted back to the SR at someone else's expense.

Con's: Is young and seems injury prone in first grade and may have fallen behind Hampton, Vunivalu, Cheyse Blair and Kennar (if fit) in the pecking order.

I have Kennar too, so my backline is getting a bit red dot heavy now..

Looking at the roosters bench I am not too worried with aubo.

The way I see it
Liu comes off at 25-30 mins, aubo goes to lock, matterson comes on and plays centre.
When Liu comes back on at 60 min mark, the revers happens.

Of course all of this changes when sst is fit...... When is this?

That's what I was kind of thinking and it gets rid of a red dot. Mansour and Gordon can lose money so I'm still undecided. If I went Feeny, I won't have enough to get someone like Munster though.

I'm tempted to hold Aubbs for rounds 15 and 18.
Just have to work out how much he'll lise before then, and if I can afford to hold him.

He scored well last round playing the whole game at centre. Just need him to do that a couple more times

Which trades do people think. I'm lucky enough not to have any real bg injuries but saying that my guns are somewhat light on. Here's my team;

Smith (Parcell)
Fifita, Surgess (Blaw, Leulani)
Carty, Fensom, Lowe (Claw, Bhana, Benry)
SJ, Hastings (Taylor, Feeny)
BJ, Fergo (Holland, Loloea)
Mitchell, Barba, Mansour (Guth, Gordon)

Do I;

Feeny --> Lamb
Blaw --> Tolman or Mooper

or

Mansour --> Munster
Gordon --> Lamb via Barba

Or just do the Feeny to Lamb trade and sit, or just do either Gordon or Mansour to Munster and sit.
