i want to trade 2 of these rookies:
J.Petrenko (213,000)
S.Jacobs (156,000)
T.Walker (174,000)
D.Zaharkis (202,000)
M.Brown (234,000)

Which would be my best two trades? I am banking them in to ge L.Hodge in my backline. Any 2 will get me enough money.

Jacobs is injured for another 5 weeks while Robbie Warnock due back about the same time. This means even when Jacobs comes back from his foot injury, he will probably not get a game, as he will be stuck behind Kruezer, Warnock and even Cloke and Big Irish.

Walker is probably going to play for the rest of the year. Unless you can get another player cheaper than him that does the same, he is perfect to stash on the bench for an emergency.

Problem with Walker is he isn't getting much game time which is effecting his scores which last 3 weeks have been SC(18, 34, 30) and DT(30, 31, 51). These low scores mean his average is now below his B/E, last week his price went down for the first time SC($15K) and DT($7,400). This week if he somehow makes his average of SC(41) and DT(47) then he will still lose $6K in both.

The last 2 weeks he hasn't been getting much game time so I don't particulary want to trust in Craig that he is going to put him on the ground then when he is on there for him to make his breakeven which this week is SC(56.36) and DT(64.78) so he is being traded out for me.

yeah good call and with burton and hentshel still to come back he aint lookin good. what about mitch brown?

chris

I'm keeping Mitch Brown at the moment his B/E is 17.12/19.33(SC/DT) and his average is 55/53(SC/DT) so he's still got a few more $$ to make before he hit's his average. I'm guessing 3 or 4 more weeks then I'll upgrade him

Dees for the Draft

I'd go Petrenko and Walker.

Petrenko won't go up much more, I think Walker is in a similar situation.

Jacobs is out for a while, but who would you replace him with?

verda32

i would replace jacobs with M.Pyke ($83,400) thoughts?

Dees for the Draft

Unless you've got White as your other ruck, I wouldn't do it.

There may be chances to upgrade Jacobs later, but I don't think Pyke will get many games or go up in value much, as he only got a game on the weekend because White had a virus. 

You'll find that there will be more options in the other positions and they'll increase in value more.
