Round 18 a long way away though to be fair. Tough planning for a 1-2 game debutante that far in advance. Kostjasyn could be a half by then! If going with a downgrade future NPR, Just buy who you think will get you most points this week as both are shaky. Would be different if he played 12 and 15 and missed 18

My Grandma used to say "it's never too early to start being a cunt."

My best laid plans went to shlt with 4 players out injured dropped it changed teams

Whelp, looks like its Lamb -> Hughes, no point hanging on to Lamb if he's out two months, won't get any value over the byes and by the time he makes any more cash for milking its probably too late to make much use of it.

So, If I went:
BLaw -> ETayTay
Jedwards/Green -> Mau
Lamb -> Hughes

I'd have 60k cash remaining and 15 trades... hmm, do I see TayTay and Mau as people I want in my final 17... Fark.

That would turn my team to
Smith, Parcell
Surgess, Graham, Kaufusi, Mataora
TayTay, Mau, Whitehead, Harris, Finucane, Jedwards/Green
Norman, Feeney, Hughes, SJ
Croker, Leilua, Claw, Benry
Aitken, Bowen, Guth, Barba, Mitchell

With those in italics not playing this week. Ideally I probably want Friend and Teddy to join the Chumps in a couple of weeks and I want to get rid of Mataora after this week with CLAW leaving after he serves out his byes, same with Guth. Then I guess I want to upgrade Norman at the end of it all as well. Hmm, in terms of trades that actually sounds like I can afford to make these this week, but not sure where I'll find the cash for other trades like Teddy and Friend if I do......

After 2 trades this week I'm looking at this squad

Smith, Parcell
Graham, Tolman, Grant, BLaw
Whitehead, Fensom, Surgess, Mannering, Thompson, Cartwright
BHunt, Feeney, Lamb, Littlejohn
Aitken, Holland, Lolohea, Scott
Semi, Gutherson, Munster, Mitchell, Barba

Any ideas for a third trade, or if needed??, only 21k left

That would also give me 16 this week, 10 in Rd15 and 13 in Rd18.
Hmmmm, why is this so tricky!!!!

So I too am cashing out Lamb. May as well make use of the 80k now, I will not have any need to play him by the time he returns. I am intrigued by this Jaydn Su'a. On debut in the second row, rookies always seem to go nuts on adrenaline and he could go boomtown if he gets big minutes. But this is likely his only appearance of the season. Alternatively, Jerome Hughes might snag a second bye round in 18 and therefore be the better choice.

Yeah same thinking here, plus Mullen should return before Lamb is healthy. Though Su'a may get another game or two if Bennett chooses to rest a few players...if he has a good game this week

Well to be fair, I really only care about players for the big bye rounds. Already have a full 17 for the others, so I would probably prefer they dont play unless its 12, 15, 18.
Su'a only plays once, but Hughes plays twice. Mathematically, Sua'a needs to outscore both Hughe's games to be the better choice- but because of his position, its certainly possible. That's the risk- Su'a's round 12 vs Hughes round 12 (and 18 if he plays combined).

Only 8 players available

11 with 3 trades, is there any point?

I have screwed the pooch this year, no doubt!

JDB + DCE or DCE + Tedesco?

id go with JDB straight out, but if the cash really helps somewhere get a gun somewhere else, maybe a punt on teddy. he is going cheap.

In that case...

Smith Friend
Fifita Graham JDB Surgess
Jturbo Whitehead Fensom Cartwright ET
Hunt DCE Norman
Aitken Holland
Radrada Mitchell Barba

Lolohea>Jaydn Su'a. Gets a few points this round and Lolohea is stuffed. Ive got rid of him.
Let's me then go Grevsmuhl> ET and
C Walker> Bunt.

3 unsure gone for 2 keepers and a cheap NPR
