No I think I have exhausted every possible option. Mind you I haven't tinkered with upgrading McGuire to Gallen, Mannering or J. Graham.

Up in the air but at the moment the plan is.
Jacks > Frawley
Yates > Crichton
Will take the risk Frawley starts eventually, will play Lamb over him until then.
I like Crichtons ability to break tackles to have the backup that if he doesn't get 80 he can still score well.
What have you settled on?

I was just watching the news & in Florida this black stallion attacks this alligator & kicks him in the head to get rid of him.

For the last couple of days I've been trying to pick 2 trades from your 2 & Gutherson to C. Walker. I can't afford both Crichton & Walker so I'm leaving Crichton. If Frawley isn't named to start I'll go Hampton instead.

FWIW: I've just said to myself to trust my gut on every trade, throw caution to the wind etc. I'm sure my luck will change eventually but Im going good so far being ranked around 600 odd, with 28 trades left and $300K odd ITB.
I got on TPG before his first price rise, Crichton the week he was named to start, Frawley 2 weeks ago, pus there have been a couple of others I think (I didn't get on Hess, my biggest fail yet this year). So I got everyone for basically their cheapest price, all because I took some risks. I also didn't make a single trade until round 3.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, take some risks, don't need to play it safe every single week and following the crowd. What if Frawley doesn't start this week, but he does next week? Are you going to bring him in then? If you bring him in this week, and the majority of people don't you are 1 step ahead of everyone. Dont apply this to just Frawley, apply it to any player in the future.
While people are trading out Elgey, Suli, Kelly, Talakai etc etc, I did it the week before. The biggest disadvantage here is that you miss out on 7-10k (Price rise when players peaked) but you are 1 step ahead of everyone, so to speak. I see people talking about bringing in Graham etc next week, while I'm doing it this week, because I've already sold player X that they are selling this week.

Choppy was getting out of there quick smart after the first attack then black magic comes at him again. Choppy with a dodgy tackle break at the end, take them however you can get them.

Sticking with my KBrom > Crichton and Lamb > Milf trades. I think with 30 trades left before the round I've earnt a risky lil splurge.
Stepping stones at the worst.

You can still be in cash cow mode at 30 trades and both are a very healthy upgradeable price so nothing wrong there. Good punts

Team is sound mate but you're excited to release an AE in Elgey, but replaced by the looks with Hampton?
One of the biggest AE traps in the game Hampton, unless you have some insta trade plan in 3 weeks
High score of 22pts in first 5 rounds looks about his level in that side when JT and Granville back
Great backrow though btw
