Can't afford the other two in Zerrett and Neale so going to go JPK.

At 440k for his potential is way too hard to pass up. At worst he jumps 100k and lets me jump on a bottomed out super prem in a few weeks.

And yes Jacobs probably goes to him this week but I'm sure JPK scores the same as Murray at worst whom I'm trading out. Has a friendly 3 weeks after that as well. Parker probably just as damaging and if not more than JPK anyway.

Only have Mirra and Guelfi as my true rookies on field now. Doedee/Finlayson/Kelly scoring like near premos for their position.
Can I just ask how you've managed to get to 7 prem mids and 5 fwds? No fwd rookie injuries? Avoided all the premo injuries? I started with alot of cash and haven't been able to make a single upgrade yet.
With more rookies on the bubble this week and next and Walters out might be able to afford one upgrade, two at most. And still I'll only have 6 mids and 5 fwds.

I've had Ablett injury, Crouch injury, Rioli injury, Langdon initial injury, Venables injury, Ryan injury, Byrne injury, Lobb injury and now Greene to deal with. So i've been flowered up with them so far.

Titch, Fyfe, Oliver, Bont, Coniglio, Beams, JPK
Menegola, Smith, Billings, Sicily, Deledio

So not the best of the best but just doing what I can. Will be bringing in Crouch & Danger and Gray & Heeney etc when I can.
So you've had all those injuries and still managed to upgrade to 7 mids and 5 fwds. That's pretty good.
I'm just having the worst start to an SC season I can remember, and struggling to see how I could have upgraded any earlier. It's frustrating to see other teams that have had even more injuries than mine yet are better placed.
I guess it could have been a blessing in disguise if u dropped injured the Lobb/Byrne/Rioli to rookies and used that money to upgrade. Whereas I had to sideways trade injured rookies who made little to no cash.

I've got Kelly at m8 and Taranto at m7 and now have Cripps, Cogs, Dusty, Mitchell, Zerrett and Fyfe.  MY forwards are Greene, Billings, Heeney, Dahl, Mclean and Gray.  I'm not going that well so it would be possible for sure.

6x fwds who were $478k+ at start of year and Coniglio M6? What the hell do your Defence and Ruck look like?

Goldy and Gawn are my rucks and started with Laird, Hibberd and Lloyd in defence plus all the decent rookies.
I lost Crouch and traded Bell to get Taranto and Mclean.  Started Armitage too.

Traded Ryan and Murray and offloaded Hibberd last week.

My rookie defence is pulling in 80 odds (Doedee, etc) and having Holman on the bench saved some bad scoring.

To think I paid full price for Hibberd, Dahl, Billings, got sucked in by Armo, and Greene has been mainly injured!

Theoretically you could pick up Billings and Hibberd for a song now. You could have an extra premo and my exact team by now for sure.

I’ll have Holman and Banfield out for Crouch or Neale or look at Yeo or Simpson next week.

I have kept Langdon and Murphy BTW.
