Lobbed in the wild west and noticed Matty Moylan running at five-eighth with Dylan Edwards at fullback. Hmmmmm .....

Depends on who is considered a better fullback should Moylan move more permanently to the halves.
If not Edwards, who would it be? Hiku? DWZ?

I personally don't like the trades involving Aubusson.

He's a keeper at C which is pretty hard to find. He also still has good bye schedule! He will most likely go back to his 80min edge forward roll this week and for the rest of the season. The only issue, which you've seen this week is that it appears he is still Mr Fix it and will therefore likely fill in at C in round 18. I think that is a waste of his talents personally Roosters could have done with his tackling skills closer to the ruck in that last game IMO.

So, if I had to chose from the rest without seeing your complete side I'd probably go with D and look to go Brown to Vaughn next week if Brown is not back.

Im no expert on excel or any of those documents, however I reckon someone who is could easily enough create a document that determines the Curse factor at the season.

Using the weekly BEs (as well as the price and scores of players at the end/start of each round) you'd be able to assign a value per round per player that measures improvement vs drops (curse/gift factor).

Using excel magic/trickery you'd be able to create a document where you put in the trades you made throughout the season. The link to the Curse/Gift Factor will be able to determine who in fact is statistically the most cursed forum poster. OR who has the midas touch.

As a side bonus, it should be able to articulate the best possible path a team could have taken through the season.

This is me hypothesising, im sure it could be done, but it would take a fair bit of time to set up. Also needs to be done at end of season. Unless you want a mid season review.
