For similar reasons I am bringing in Liam Martin over Taupau this week.

Can bring in Taupau for Xerri/Lomax in a week or 2.

The big cash pool and potential money from Martin overrides the extra points from Taupau.

Will probably play Young over Martin though (unless ARey is out, then they both play)

Solid plan Milchy, at least we are all in together on this meat raffle

These are the four trades I have pencilled in for RD10 and 11:

Brown > Martin
Gillett > Young
Lawrie > Taupau
Morgan > Taumalolo

Cartwright will have to fill in at HLF until I can flick him to SJ after Rd12

Depending on your team it shouldn’t matter massively what order you trade out over one week unless you are playing them. I have no choice with mine as Capewell is handy for another week or 2 at centre.
Morgan is still ok until origin, Lawrie may be impacted by DeBelin/Sims, Gillet unsure on his BE or role but probably on an edge and Brown isn’t losing cash or playing.

Trust your gut

Good luck Booze! Smash it!

Round 10 trades 647k remaining

Alexander Brimson 436k
Have decided to roll the dice on Brimson who I believe can make Fullback his own, especially given the Titans lack of form and them needing to make changes.
Brimson showed what he was capable last year and playing off the bench has started the year discounted , he is a talented youngster and will back him in
At worst he is fun to watch and an excitement machine who can score big on his day
Has DPP as well which could be some handy cover long term in the 18-21 and plays RD12 too especially with Tedesco and Ponga backing up after origin

Liam Martin 281k 281k
Cheap cash out with a low BE and plays rd12 bye

Out is Cartwright and Morgan

Cheers mate, trying to give this round a shake and get me set up for a big second half of the year

New trade ins went well and up to 10th but still 2 more games to come so anything can happen
Moses 80, Reynolds 53, Brittain 51

Last trade I have planned is Crichton to Havili but wondering if I am better off picking up Bateman now and grabbing a different cow next week
Havili was to be a handy 17th man, free up cash to pay for McInnes/Bateman/Johnson and make some cash himself to allow a 3rd round bye player to come in.
If a cheap 2rf pops up like Martin(Dragons) then they will be a decent replacement in 2rf
Other than Kenny at his price there is limited options for cows next week lwithout gambling on a winger

Think I will stick with this trade but open to suggestions?

whats your team without Havaili again? How much cash left? And will that trade only leave you 10 trades left?

Have roughly been planning this out for a while now, with some players changing pending injuries and form.

Current team

129k remaining 10 trades

Cook
Fifita Haas
Taumalolo Taupau Murray
Reynolds Moses
Nikora Bateman
Ponga Tedesco CNK

Smith Rein Mahoney Martin

Brimson Xerri Sivo Brittain

Basically selling Crichton allows me to bring back Bateman for some bye points, and enough cash to turn Rein into Mcinnes in one trade (assuming Rein beats his BE of 36)

It's all calculated risk end of the day

If you hold to that plan and not be tempted to add a couple more rd16 players in that week then i think it will work. (anything less then 6 trades for the last 9 weeks is a bit to risky for me)

Cheers for having a look Shanbon
Have gone Bateman in the end and will leave Havili.
With Martin getting a reprieve and kickstarting his earning (and possibly even locking in a spot), he has taken Havilis role going forward. Brittain could even kick on too if he gets another few games.
Sivo could also be handy if he has to play another week so I am not forced to trade next week either.

Just want to keep my options open next week and have both trades free in case of some Origin hangovers.

Hey Booze, fingers crossed Brimson goes Boom for you mate - nice POD pick there I reckon.

Also congrats on your team going so well - rooting for you. Mattnz said right at the beginning of the year he liked the POD of your initial strategy, I completely agreed with him so its nice to see it working out.

For what its worth I'll have a quick look at your team once round 12 closes. Will tell you what I'd do if in your position.

My team is shit so I have a bit of spare time lol!!
