Thinking about trading Keighran out. I am aware how fucking stupid that sounds and that he has a breakeven of 3. But it is the only feasible way I can get Burns into my team, and I am stuck with Kahu at 3rd WFB otherwise. I actually think Keighran's first score was the famous first-game-rookie adrenaline rush we see often, and Green is far too dominant a play maker this year. My gut has him pegged for regular 20s and maybe a 30-40k price rise at best unless he finds the stripe. I would love anybody with a strong opinion to the contrary to put their case forward. I can trade him to Burns who I think will make more money and provide close enough to keeper scores in the backline for the time being, and then additionally save a trade for this round. My only other options for Kahu>Burns would be to
A) trade Tolman to Napa
or
B) Burr (my current 4th reserve) to a Waddell-kind of nobody who I would then have to play.
Neither of those options particularly appeals to me and would cost me two trades to do. My other cashies (Sivo, Brown, Ravalawa) are all making megabucks anyway, so the lost cash if I fuck this huge call up is not the biggest issue for me (though the embarrassment of selling him if he comes out with a 50 point game might).

Any thoughts appreciated

Tl;dr- Keighran>Burns ; I am an idiot.

Flavour of the minute Rein would get you there as well which may appeal more. You could certainly be right about Keighran but he's got 50k in the next 2 weeks at a minimum surely. It would be very bold to beton <15 points for the next two weeks.

Tolman -> Rein
Kahu -> Burns

For what it's worth, i would make the trade.

haha well if I wasn't convinced before, your yolo has put me other the line!
I am damn well trying to be a Yolo coach this year, my usual conservative approach has not done me any favours the last couple of years.
I am suspecting this game needs to be played aggressively, with less thinking and more luck

Wrong Gillett my friend. One's someone that won't ever end up in my team, the other is one that won't ever end up in my cupboard

Good one Alfie, that will teach me for having a spelling mistake. I learn about your personal hygiene and NRL fantasy guidelines.
