Is it worth using a trade on weekly loophole option Sweet to ROB to hopefully make some bench cash (and ruck backup), before inevitably reversing the trade back once ROB is maxed out?
Basically 2 trades for 250-300k profit + backup insurance but lose a loophole optiom
I'm thinking it is at this point but still undecided if I'll do it or not

Edit: I see it's been covered a little already, but let's discuss it more in depth shall we? Lol. Really wish I had Bines over Sweet right now. Could easy swap Balta/Setters out and it wouldn't be as bad with the feeling of knowing I'm only going to get Sweet back in.

ROB is a must now that Sauce has had surgery

Every chance you'll have another rookie get dropped and still have someone to use as loophole

Probably more concerned about having to use 2 trades by trading him in, then eventually having to trade him out later, rather than the lack of loophole option.

I have only needed to use 1 trade thus far, so I guess I can afford a bit of a luxury money maker trade?

Luxury money maker?

You need to use two trades on every rookie from here - one to bring them in and one to trade them out. That's how this game works and how you make money lol

The concern is more that trade 1 (Sweet to ROB in their example, would be Fort to ROB for me in DT if I do the same) not only doesn't net you any cash, it actually costs cash. That is not the norm.

Exactly. It’s a trade you could use on sideways a premium that’s about to drop to one going up for example, but everyone would tell you that’s not a great love usually...

For me, I could move Bines forward, but Bines and Balta on the bench gives me the chills. Think I’ll have to leave RoB

Its not like I'm trading out a fat cow to get ROB. I'm trading out a bottom of the barrel ruck who wont play a single game and likely trading that very same player back in once ROB has done his duty...

I'm only making money 1 way.

Even with Bines... geez I’m not sure, I guess if you can look at it from the point of view that there will be other rookies to come and making way for ROB is not a necessity?

Same
Bines’ DPP is very handy.
Sits at F8. Happy with my other 7 forwards at present. Should have playing rookies who can loophole at F5-7.
Trading out cashed up rookies (sort of) in Setterfield and Butters.... made a smallish profit.
When Reilly O’Brien has cashed up I can swing Bines back to F3 and get either a premium fwd or F/R such as Westhoff

[James Pies]

If i get ROB and Heeney doesnt play id have to field balta  :-[

[LaHug]

If I get ROB and Heeney doesn't play, I get a donut. If I go my other trade plans, it's Burgess instead... who might be dropped anyway and is probably only 40 points so I think it's worth the risk.

Consider it a rookie correction trade. If you had to do this at Round 2 it's just a correction, but at Round 4 it's so much different?

Not only will ROB make 150k+, he also provides valuable ruck cover in the meantime. What if one of your rucks misses a game coming up?

Not to mention most of the fwd rookies have been pretty crap in terms of cash generation, so I don't think we can pass up ROB for everything he offers

This is the week to grab 2 rookies, because besides Ross next week (Possibly Hately/Hind) there isn't much coming through, so grab the 2 best cows this week. A lot of people grabbing Stack are likely trading Scott or Gibbons to him which is only giving them 45-60k anyway, and ROB should make up the difference over Stack in terms of future gains so it's all relative - grab the two best cows this week of which ROB appears to be #1 on the list, then flip a coin on Hore/Stack depending on your sides needs

All those people that kept Heeney. Hahaha

[Gigantor]

Yeah I've been worried about this as well, so much so I had a dream last night that Balta scored 7 hahaha
