    Made my trades for the week. Pretty happy with the team it leaves me. Hiku and Isaako seem the clear weakness, but solid bench and forwards. Few cows still generating cash. 3 trades out of a possible 6 used.

    Team for the week:

    Smith
    Lodge Arrow
    Jurbo, Harris, Murray
    Cronk, Douhi
    Croker, Isaako
    Teddy, Ponga, Hiku

    Cook
    RFM
    Kikau
    Griffen

    Carty, Havili, Nichols Godinet

    Gut feel on TPJ is he misses 2 weeks. He had issues with hammy last year so i reckon theyll be cautious. Again, just gut feel. I obviously know nothing of the severity

    Considering not trading this week but Lichaa needs to go and JT too incosistent.

    Tempted to go:

    JT > Friend/Macca
    Lichaa to JMK

    Originally wanted to go JT > Mbye but still want to grab SJ in a few weeks and grabbing Mbye will purely be based on his 0 break even.

    Thoughts?

    Halves currently

    JT / Douie / Carty

    Maybe Merrin picking up an injury is a sign to get rid of him before he fucks up my team again

    Hmm not sure what to do with tpj.. Started the season with him but hamstrings are tricky. 1-2 weeks can turn into 3-4 weeks out.

    Hey Lads, would love some thoughts on trade ins/outs
    Team at the moment before trades is
    CS9
    Arrow Lodge
    Murry Jurbo RFM
    Doui DCE
    Isaako Mitchell
    Ponga Turbo Thompson
    Cook
    Kennar
    TPJ
    Katoa

    Kikau, Havili, Croker, Carty

    111K ITB

    Thinking My 2RF is a bit shallow but would also like that 3rd WFB to be a set and forget. I am really loving TPJ at the moment but not sure what to do now with him. Can keep loopholing Katoa but would love another player on my team making money (JMK for example). Some players on my radar at Dufty, Mbye, NAS, Griffin, JMK, Harris. Thoughts lads???

    @Wolfking Thanks for the reply. Yeah I think TPJ is a hold for now as long as he's not played at all and Bennett doesn't 'ease him back in' with low minutes. Plus I get try the loophole trick Smile

    so youre saying no trades mate? Only trade I am thinking for now is Katoa to JMK just for the potential money in the future because I don't really want two DNP's in the squad.

    Probably can't have 2 red dots. I think your starting 2RF is completely fine. I'd look at a simple Katoa to JMK trade if you are happy to hold TPJ. If you want to trade TPJ then your options are much more open.

    Yep, especially if Merrin is indeed injured.

    What to do with McInnes? I was expecting 55+ average from him this year, but seems the Dragons aren’t doing too much defending. I can trade him to Smith but I have bigger problems.

    Cook
    Rochow, Kikau
    Murray, McGuire, Fitzgibbon
    Cleary, Douiehi
    Kennar, Aubbs
    Ponga, Lolohea, JMK

    McInnes, RFM, Griffin, Cartwright, TPJ, Thompson, Havalli, Godinet.

    Cleary has to go. TPJ is a worry. Griffin’s work rate has dropped off. Fucked if I know. I’m burning trades like Cartwright is falling off tackles. I reckon Brimson gets a run and Cleary to him may give me bucketloads of cash to beef up elsewhere. Bring in TLT.

    My opinion (and not a very educated one) is that you make a trade as either part of a plan, or to cover an injury or proven failed performer. Katoa to JMK isn't a bad trade assuming he keeps his spot. You'd surely want him to average higher than mid 20s though (going off memory he scored 26?).

    The other players you have that people might see as a 'weakness' isaako, kennar and Thompson etc are going as well, if not better than options that will cost you twice as much. PLus, still making cash.

    Not sure why you thing your 2rf are light on, they aren't the worse ive seen.

    Id be tempted to wait and see if I was in your position. IN many ways Im in a similar position, with some less than ideal players in my team (posted fairly recently)

    Thanks for your thoughts Wolfie, would like to hold TPJ. Katoa to JMK looks likely to happen, I will shop around for someone around TPJ's price but if nothing jumps out then the 1 trade this week seems the way to go. Dance
