    Over the last decade there has been but not so much the last couple of years.  Definitely not last year anyway where a few of us finished with a trade or 2 left.  In saying that I think the run of injuries last year came early in the season.

    Yep, I remember having a trade left in the final round and using it to switch a player to someone who I thought would score 10-15 points higher based on opposition. Got it right but still felt stupid using a trade for a 15 point gain.

    Having 3/4 trades left for the final six rounds is cutting it thin this year, I think. I'm glad I've got a few depth players (Scott, Chanel, Fui).

    Still a better position than most mate. Depth allready tested for a lot of coaches who have none or one/two trades left. There will be a few at the top in free fall if another gun or 2 go down, particularly another second rower or half.

    Perhaps Fui will play more/big minutes now?

    Perhaps, but I'm thinking Turner just comes into the lock role with Clark recalled on the bench. Since Surgess has been going to second row when Fui goes off and Turner/Clark come on, Turner can fit that role. I don't understand Madge's current rotations and no one will probably ever will.

    SJ & Surgess with 1 trade. I may be forced to use it now, as it would now be Radley or Capewell as my 17th man. How have i survived this far ... ?

    Thinking bout that, or they move CWalker back to the halves, Sutton to the second row and Johnson to fullback. Who knows with Madge

    Surgess owner with 2 trades left.

    My heart wants J Turbo as a replacement because I like him as a player and as a POD option.

    My head says Brown because he has DPP allowing me to cover for a Taupau injury/suspension.

    I guess this round can help decide for me which way I go.

    My team is like the Josh Dugan or Steve Matai of Fantasy. Going down with an injury after each tackle. Going through my remaining trades like a packet of skittles.

    308/6 with Surgess & 1 trade left. I'll just move Fui to the 2fr & buy T-Trbo. I think now Fui will play 80 mins on the edge & Turner & Clark will rotate in the middle.

    Brown missed a week or two with the same injury.

    Gotta say I played wing a couple of games. Mainly Outside Centre and Fullback though. Shaped more like a Forward nowadays, Merrin esque or Georgie Rose Embarassed
