Wallace out - Hess in (via McGuire)

Is this trade worth it considering Hess will only be starting 1 more game in reality. Or will Hess continue to outscore Wallace even from the bench. I feel the cash gains of Hess due to his very low b/e of 9 will be greater than the cash gains of Wallace whose minutes have probably been inflated due to injuries.

Cleary had a winrate of 47% with panthers over 3 years.

Yet he took the Warriors to only their second ever grand final in 2011 and this is a squad featuring Brett Seymour, Joel Moon in the centres, Bill Tupou on the wing and Aaron Heremaia as our starting hooker.

He has the credentials over any other options out there. Would you rather Matt Elliot come back to the coaching merry-go-round?

If Cleary does get the gig, it could be interesting to see if he brings in Lewi Brown to finish his career back at Wests.

And ET would get 80 minutes because Cleary loves him.

I feel like this is a waste of a trade. Buy low sell high. Sure Hess might make some more cash this week but he will be a trade out when Taumalolo returns. I would hold onto Wallace as the Titans next 4 games are against the Cowboys, Warriors, Raiders and Broncos where he should be very busy in defense.

22k short of Siro to Whitehead in 1 trade, think I'll give it another week and play Yates over Siro.

Suli now emerging as the one to fund it with Talakai likely to cash up some more.

Hingano, FWinter, Kelly and Jennings still have cash to make and I'd rather not have so many wingers in my squad anyway.. Uate and Cotric are going well and will probably make up my back 3 this week along with RTS.

Slater is tempting, but his price doesn't really fit in my plans and I'm still wary of his injuries. I started last year with him and things didn't go too well with my trades after his Rd 1 injury.

Only real dead spot is Leota.. Was happy with 23 in Rd 1, but not sure when we'll see him again. Sam Hoare looked a good candidate, but didn't exactly instill me with confidence.. 31 mins is promising though and unfortunate to be part of a badly beaten Cowboys side.

So unless TLT announces a basement FR with job security or yet another back (fun times), I think my hands are kinda tied this week.

Slater has never been a great player fantasy wise and this is his last season.  Are you sure you want to use up to trade just to trade him out during Origin?

Nah whys that? Have updated now.

Lol what is this merry-go-round of shit coaches?

Why do these proven horrible coaches keep getting the gig to coach teams which are struggling? What are these clubs hoping to achieve by hiring more shit?
