I know my two trades are going to be Moraes and Bice for my team, it's just a matter of who do I trade out. I think a lot will change once teams drop

Lynch I am holding for a week, although I think he will score crap and I'll piss him off next week.

I'm happy to be more patient with Lalor and wait at least one more week. I will also hold Lindsay.

I have no idea who I trade out at this point. Probably Paton and maybe Campo or O'Sullivan.

I probably won't boost to grab Maric/Humphrey although Erasmus is tempting to open up another DPP link. I'm also keeping my questionable premiums, although turning Ryan into Sinclair is tempting

I dropped Ryan for Zorko.. You may have already, but I'd go Sinclair, Zorko or Houston..

I started Zorko and lucky I didn't grab Houston. I'd say he has 3+ weeks on the sidelines after the bump to the head (lucky he didn't knock Fogerty out).

I ended up making 2 sideways type trades.

Campo > Moraes
Paton > Bice

I have a lot of dead weight rookies but I'll make some moves next week. Unfortunately cleaning out 2 this week I only have 38k in the bank.

Knevitt and Lindsay are both out, Stone is on an extended bench and Paton was an emergency as well. I think I'm okay holding a bunch of the underperformers this week and look to make a move next week.

Oh, and Xerri is in doubt with the hamstring. Didn't train much all week which is also fun. I feel like I'm going in circles with a lot of my trades at the moment, so I'll grab the two money makers this week, hold off and assess next week

Think we are all 2 steps forward and one step back. Think we have sorted and injuries and team selections throw a spanner in the works.

Erasmus got dropped ... thought he might get more of a run at it

Mat0369

Yeah, that's not ideal. Better dropped than sub

Not that it changes much but F O'Sullivan is out with sickness also.

I still chose to trade Knevitt (managed), over him. Cats selections and late outs are a rollercoaster I'm more than happy to get off.

Probably as unsettled a line up of rooks there has ever been, in out dropped sub injured rested.... so many!

Oh Really? That sucks

Mat0369

I'm holding both as options for Tsatas and Travaglia next week.

Mat0369

Blicavs a late out, Stanley in. Scott mentioned Stanley could play back

arbel

Yeah just saw that. Has Stanley lined up as first ruck at the moment. Doesn't bode well for SDK

I think I had some pretty good holds this week. I kept Neale, Sheezel and Lalor and they all went huge. I passed on Humphrey and brought in Bice and Moraes. Bice looks good, he could sit at D6 for a while.

My downside was I held Lynch even though I knew he would suck. It's going to be tricky to trade him out in the coming weeks because my DPP link is between midfield and the backs now. Not having O'Sullivan is the other one that hurts.

Warner also sucked pretty bad so my F6 is a little problematic. With no forward rookies on the horizon I'll need to find a prem quickly or just hold out for DPP players.

Oh, I am also pretty happy with Bowey, but Parker would have been great to have this week

I dumped Sheezel and now I'm having a horrible week, but dumping Gawn wasn't the answer either. I have a plan however, not all is lost as Sheezel missed his BE and will be 100k difference on Roberts, might have to do a boomerang trade.

The DPP changes happen next week right?

Yes, I think before round 6 commences.
