Trade idea - Skipworth and Hille

[CyclopZ]

Hey guys, As with many of you - i face a bit of a predicament and i want to try and turn my injuries into a positive. I currently have 16 trades left and am trying to hold off but i face some tough games ahead against some quality opposition. I am trying to find out what to do with Hille and Skipworth i currently have Jacobs and Spencer in the ruck and they dont look to be in favour of there respective teams so i need to replace Hille who was currently sitting alongside McIntosh in the ruck.

My midfield is going ok at the moment (even though i have Robinson on the bench) i have beams as my permanent emergency at the moment and i am happy with the backline even though i have Petrenko, Cheney and Broughton as my rookies there. This area can be upgraded in due course because i see some premium forwards which are down on price that im tempted to get in.

Thoughts at the moment were to ofload Skipworth and Hille and bring in Goodwin (who i believe is great value at 518,000) but that leaves not many options as i will have 233,900 in cash to buy a ruck..... I was thinking - as the ruck option (unless you have a real premium like Cox) is pretty weak i would be happy to get a ruck option that could possibly get me 50+ (Graham, White, Mumford etc.) because i think the upside in Goodwin is better than spending all the cash in the Ruck. That would pretty much set my forward line in stone for the duration of comp - because i can cover injuries with Walker and Brown for the time being......

Do you think this is a decent scenario or should i hold on to my trades and just hope my rookies can fill the gaps to make a push for later in the season?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks

Yeh - sorry mate. Got carried away a bit there...

lol!!  yea did get carried away. mate obviously u gotta drop hille but keep skippy if u have cover such as walker and brown.

anyway hille is 381k, therefore u can do a straight swap atleast for kreuzer (360k??) kreuz looks decent especially when he is forward.
but if u got enough dough in the bank sandilands is 421k and i'd say that'd be ur best bet there. don't get a showerty ruckmen in it'll piss u off down the track! they r dead money (cheap rucks)
