Backline Problem !!!

[admrap]

With P. Burgoyne suspended for 2 weeks and Raines injured for another 2 weeks+... I must put Petrenko and Broughton on the field a long side Hill.  If one of these 3 gets dropped i dont see them coming back into line ups for a while. I think Petrenko out of these 3 most likely to be dropped.  P.Burgoyne and Raines i will not trade.  So should i trade the rookie who gets dropped for sumone like a quinn or rance or other?

Can you please help you DT experts???

im in a similar situation with raines birchall burgoyne shaw, not playing, i replaced raines with patrenko, so now burgoyne and raines are siting on the bench, (definately not trading them) still have shaw and birchall on field,& will prob have to use a couple of trades

[admrap]

for u i would probably trade shaw or birchall for someone like gilbert and use the extra cash 2 upgrade somewhere

Admrap- My opinion is to tough it out and play your three rookies. all three look like the should stay in thier respective sides through their form and also injuries in their sides. i just dont like the idea of trading off cash cows before they have reached their full money potential. Which i dont think any of those guys have.

yer i will hang on to them Lactose.... but not sure about petrenko playing in coming weeks. i could be wrong but if he does get dropped what are my options

Why would Adelaide drop Petrenko? With Stevens still seeing stars from the knee he coped on the weekend, Gill out for 4 weeks and Bock still on suspension - Petrenko still have some life left. Petrenko plays both up forward and down back.

The rookies will need time to increase in value. Look at their BE's before you make trades

[admrap]

I hope they dont drop him...but i will have to wait and see when line ups come out

i'm playing petrenko, broughton and cheney this week with raines and burgoyne on the bench HOWEVER im trading raines to mackie next week

[admrap]
