I'm a bit stumped as to what to do now since Murray is in the starting pack.

Smith
Arrow, Fifita
Jurbo, Lolo, Tohu
DCE, Brimson
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Rapana

Murray, Crichton, Surgess, Martin
Cook, Tuala, Cogger, Gosie

290k in the bank.

Should I do a straight Hiku to Cleary swap or double trade Gosie and Cogger to Cleary and a nuffie?

Much appreciated!

With RTS out and Hiku at fullback, no urgent need to move him on this week

Upgrading Brimson/Cogger to a better quality 2nd half would be more of a priority.

2nd options looks more useful, bring in a keeper for Cogger, and dump Gosie who likely won't be useful for you anymore anyway

I'm hanging out in the party thread this arvo

What a joke. Hes taking the piss now. Should be sacked not dropped

Looks like my trades this week will be Matterson/Gosi out Harris/McCullough in

Was looking at cheap halves in the vein of Milford instead of McCullough but even with origin he seems decent value at just over 700k
Have opted to go Gosi out and spend the bank rather than trade Su'a as need his points this week unless I roll the dice on Tuala or Fonua for this week
Harris is a definite given he is easy to cover even if he doesn't backup from the test, unsure on the second trade out and if Su'a is the better out (Murray at lock seems better this week than Su'a)
Gosi's price really limits the options so maybe best to play Fonua or Tuala for 1 week

Suli spending too much time in the party thread

So name 4 reserves:

Kikau Terepo Martin Fitzgibbon Radley (if he starters) Milf.

Thinking that I would swap Radley for Fitz if Radley was to start if Boyd was out

Ive traded Murray out for CS9, with the bunnies outs would you keep Murray and Trade Koko/Fitz/Terepo to CS9 instead?

Holy shit. Is this really your bench? Is your starting 13 rubbish?

Everyone going for Cleary is making me nervous as was bringing in Koro despite being able to afford Cleary. Main reason being that he is replacing Matterson in my halves and I see him most similar of that ilk (scoring through tackles), whilst my other half Reynolds will get his points in a similar manner as Cleary would.

Anybody want to make a convincing argument that Cleary is the obvious better option?

Maybe this is one of those times where you have to go with your gut rather than follow the crowd.

Hey team, if I could get a quick look at my lineup this week for any thoughts, that would be fantastic.
Gos --> Olive and Thompson --> TTrbo (13 trades left) 216k itb

CS9(vc)
Fifi, Arrow
Tlolo(c), Surgess, Kapow
DCE, Koro
Mitchell, Fonua
Teddy, Ponga, TTrbo

Murray, Su'a TPJ, Martin

Cook, Cogger, Olive, Brimson

Koro's floor is a lot lower than Cleary (apart from injury). He's very well priced at the moment but you've gotta expect a 20 every now and again.

No, CS9 Fif Tapow Jurbo Arrow Lolo Widdop Koko Marsters Fonua Teddy Ponga Katoa

@Pook Clearys the obvious better trade in because his non injury affected avg is about 5 points higher mate

Suli is an absolute peanut

Looks good to me. I like the trades, you've got some bank, more trades than most. You might look to upgrade Surgess in the next few weeks if he doesn't come good. And eventually a centre.

Cook
Fifita Taupau

McCullough Arrow Sua Martin

Isaako Thompon Cogger Doueihi


Thompson-Olive hopefully he plays 17
Then 300k to fix my mess of the team for this week. Any ideas? I originally was doing Murray to Smith, no clue now.
