Thinking it's a better start than last year.
Think it was Peats/Lichaa/DCE/Woods early on with a bunch of cashies and players dropped.
At least the ones going down are owned by most sides, kinda shakes things up a bit and they can be replaced by cows.
Kinda excited to see how they go

RTS is offically out - not sure if it's been said.

Coin flip between Jennings and Moga in 17, which way does it land

or would trading out Hayne for Abbey and Talakai for Hess via S.Mat be a better option.
Would leave me $32k.

Trading Talakai for Hess is better than SIronen for Hess.

Sironen still playing and making a bit of cash. Talakai might be gone for the foreseeable future.

cartwright apparently out

More lol is that I'm having to play both these guys plus elgey, leaving winterstein and Kelly out. My team is disgusting, much like the Friz and his budgie smugglers.

I came in my pants when I read the line-up, and yes, it was green.

Umm, erm.......

Thoughts on best trade down from k brom (already have yates) > hoare, ese ese, pkafusi, stone
So can free up cash for a jacks > lamb trade

Well looks abbey gets a run for me. I thought I'd have done 6 trades by now but the options have been rubbish

source?

James Hooper on fox said he didnt train and was most likely out. Then they interviewed Merrin and the way he spoke it suggests he is out. Nothing 100 percent but not looking good

"learned my lesson wasting trades on CTR and WFB cheapies."

Really got me thinking. I'm already stacked with cheapies, Suli, Cotric, Kelly, Uate, Moga.

I don't think im missing the next Tedesco in Jennings. So I'll save the trade. Not sure jennings will outscore any of the aforementioned.

With both Hayne and RTS out this round I don't blame anyone bringing in a cheap replacement. But as a general rule, I do think it's better to find cash cows in the other positions.

Also, it still early days and there's no need to dump cash cows before they peaked.

With RTS gone all but confirms my Talakai - CWalker trade, don't fancy running with a back 3 of Suli, Abbey and Cotric

I would look at Angus Crichton. He's a great player and only going to start seeing more minutes throughout the year.

I wouldn't go Jacks to Lamb until we get the line up for the Storm. I'm expecting Munster into the centres with Blair dropping out and Jacks into 5/8.

Even then, he's got a lot of money to make if he gets more game time - all it takes is Slater to miss another week and he's straight back in.

What I think people need to look at as well, you can't milk all your cows at once. Some may need to be slow burning ones and that will be helpful later on in the season. If all of your cows are ripe at the same time you're going to lose money trying to trade them week after week - especially when injuries occur.

Cotric or Kelly in the 17?

Kelly against the Cowboys could see a lot of traffic and get the base stats however the Raiders should score against the Tigers and you would think he scores some attacking points.

What's Tetavano's job security like?

you would have to assume ok, based on tauks being the only player to return mid season? not sure when he comes back however.

oh i forgot about kane evans. forget my message

Holding Talakai and Hayne for now. We haven't seen the last of them and can potentially still make
cash.

Looking at Abbey for Pythian, to run with Suli and Cotric.

I'm confident they can get atleast 30 each.

Hi, thank you for your advice!!! Havent looked at those options!! Would rather hold on to jacks but forced my hand with norman coming out and field/elegy the other halfs

Angus crichton does look good but will he get mins with burgresses in limbo? would more value been in pkafusi starting?
(2k short k brom > crichton and jacks > lamb)

Talakai to Hess
Idris to R.Jennings

Are these trades yay or nay
