    Morgan to Cleary for me this week
    Their break even is about the same now. Cleary has bottomed out and will only go up from here (i hope), panfers are starting to look a bit better.
    I was expecting a bit more from Morgan these early rounds, but I'm happy with the cash he made.

    Swapping Rava for Xerri this week, need a better backup centre with Nikora out.

    Want to take a punt on Whitbread, but can't bring myself to trade out Cartwright(r12), Lawrie(cash), Sivo(r12), Garner(cash/scores), or Burr (cash) yet... scratch

    Heard a rumour Mofo got in trouble this week and will be stood down for this game, which you would assume King or Whitbread are elevated. This week really bides as a battle for a bench spot between King and Whitbread; however, last week seems Hipgrave was dropped for King and Whitbread so possible Hipgrave (who seems out of flavour) is only in as cover. All i know is he has played big minutes at lock and prop in the ISC and is averaging 50fpt there. With Mofo and Boyd not massive minute takers there is some minutes up for grabs and with a negative BE I am happy to take the gamble on him this week hoping for a 40+ and decent price rise and hope of winning a 40+ minute spot on the bench.

    Interesting. Hopefully we hear sooner rather than later as I'm likely trading rava who plays first up annoyingly

    There are 60-70 minutes up for grabs and you're right that king and mofo have been used as lower minute players, so it would make sense to play whitbread for 40-50 and perhaps a touch more for arrow and mofo. My worry is king has been ahead in the pecking order for the season so far

    Will have to keep an eye on the carty news too for my decision. Not clear cut this week!

    Sit tight mate. You're doing so well you can save the trade and ride those trains til they are done. I'm sure there is the temptation or feeling of needing to be proactive to keep the momentum but I'd reap the rewards of picking such a good starting team and the trades you've made so far

    When the answer isn't clear more often than not the best thing to do is nothing

    Not a bad idea to hold in a week where there isn't much of a stand out option (you already have guys like Haas and Burr).
    Xerri could be worth a shout for Rava?

    He played ISC though? Mustn't of wanted to risk him at the big level. Anyway, I'm happy to take the gamble on Whitbread if I am also planning on saving a trade. I hope he comes into the starting side or at least does enough to keep a bench spot.

    No he didn't, must have been injured

    I think that your halves could do with some love.
    If there is a way to get a gun half in your team, or Teddy so you can move Ponga into your halves that would strengthen your team.

    HOLY SHIT!

    Instead of Rava to Whitbread, I can go Sele to Whitbread and Morgan to Cleary with 1K left over. Surely this is worth it? Cleary is a keeper and seems back to 100%, I dont think Morgan is done with his money making but Cleary is as cheap as he will be all year and has the better chance of posting 55-60+ scores than Morgan and will average more. Is this a no brainer? 1k does not look good in the bank though but hoping some cows pop up soon so I can milk Rava

    Be surprised if Whitbread suddenly plays more minutes than the guys ahead of him. Of course, pecking orders can change, but it'd be a bold call without evidence.

    Host to Whitbread could be a goer.

    You have got Nikora and Brown, so you can run two loops this week if you wanted to.

    After Cleary posting a 78 on the weekend, i don't really want to wait another week. I think Morgan is a tier below Cleary and I had the cash ITB to make the upgrade. Which gives me a Munster, Cleary combo in the halves.
    I think Milchy was getting Cleary in this week as well.

    The James interchange (when he hurt his knee) is listed as being a free interchange. There are 8 other normal interchanges for the Titans after that. Why was the James interchange "free"?

    Capewell will take Nikora's place so you will have to rely on the scoring of either Rava/Flegler/Okunbor/Kamikamica. Hope you set it up correctly to loop. Or go Xerri/Whitbread for Rava.

    Burr was a bench player who forced himself onto the team by playing well off the bench. I am hoping Whitbread's journey is similar. As an Arrow owner i am hoping it is via front row

    Would you go Morgan to Cleary if it means only leaving 1K ITB? Really wanted to save a trade this week but didn't realise Cleary was so cheap and BE is more than achievable; whereas, I am a little less confident on whether Morgan can reach his. Could go Sele/Rava to Allan or Lomax (Pending final team list tomorrow) for some extra dollars but i have an incling on whitbread. I think this is his time and he will burst onto the scene and everyone will be trading him in next week. Would leave my halves as Clear and Hughes or Cleary and Ponga whichever looks/feels better haha

    EDIT: What looks better

    Cleary Ponga
    X X
    Hughes CNK Teddy

    Or

    Cleary Hughes
    X X
    Ponga CNK Teddy?

    Can afford Burns>Teddy and Morgan>Cleary so it is very tempting to grab 2 season keepers. Will likely hold on the second trade and look to grab Cook for Macca next week. Few teams look 1 loss away from a reshuffle so should be a couple of options next week
