JFH Griffin Martin Crichton 

Cook Doueihi Coggar Thompson

15 trades and only 20K.

Nothing is really sticking out to me and thinking of not even trading. Although do I need another cheapie like Olive, Tuala, Katoa?? Maybe for Thompson? Cook to mC9 is enticing but don't think I need to.

Cheers.

Edit. Obviously things might change now. Bah.

Edit 2. Even tempted to swap Thompson for Hughes.

Hoppa?

Edit, haha - I assume the thumb down is because I guessed correctly

For people who are trading Cook - its better that he plays off the bench than gets rested (so he can drop cash)

For those that are holding him, most wouldn't have been playing him in their 17 this week unless forced to, so its not really a big deal

Thumbs down was meant for wrong, sorry

I'll have a crack.

I'd hold Cook and I think it's time to turn Thompson into some cash. I reckon you need to push Mbye down to WFB and get in another elite half. If Crichton is out then you'll have to Douehi or Coggar too. Maybe Thompsonand one of JFH/Slade to a gun half?

Might be wise to hold off on guys like SJ, Harris, Widdop (? not sure he's a valid option anyway) until rd 17.... anyone I'm missing? (who would be rd 17 playing keepers or potential keepers...Rapana and RTS I suppose also....)

(a) play Doueihi in my 17 & keep Crichton or
(b) sell Crichton & buy McInnes & move Doueihi to emg

Cheers boys

Cook is a reliable captain option though, so I guess you have to consider you'd normally get double Cook's score.

Souths play at 3pm Saturday in round 18 (backing up after origin). Does he get rested again?

Id cash out Thompson to upgrade Cogger when he peaks to a gun half. Then u can move mbye to wfb position

Tempted to trade to McInnes / Cleary this week.

High BE and with Tolman back and Martin still around he could potentially could lose minutes?

Holding till after R17 would be nice but could loose ~$80k in the process if he averages 40..
