The sandman trade

[FLOPITOUT1]

John Ironmonger and Damien Monkhorst for me

[Andrew]

Matthew "Spider" Burton appears to be a like-for-like trade to me.

[Possumo]

Was (and still am) overseas while I made my team, so I looked at a bunch of teams on here and went with Tippett and Keefe as the 3rd and 4th rucks... plus I didn't even think about Petrie... so yeah I'm one of those poor fools who is in a really bad position. My only consolation is that my opponent this week doesn't have cover either, but this still screws with my Jacobs/Smith downgrade plans :(

Should I downgrade or sideways Sandi? Such an annoying position to be in, as neither option looks good...

Edit: Sam Jacobs seems to be in fairly good form and at a decent price... or is Z. Smith still the best value? Vardy and Bailey are other el cheapo options, but neither seem that attractive as a 2nd ruck replacement at this stage. Browne for Richmond had a good score but it could of course just be a flash in the pan, and he of course has a bye next week.

Ouch.

I'm planning to get NicNat.

I'm planning to get NicNat.

Wow, talk about a risk! He has showed some good form recently, but prior to that he was good at slumming it below 60's... much like last year.

Pros Nicnat is better for SC not DT hun.
As for Sandi chill the hell out he'll be back in three weeks (once they find a moon boot big enough! ha). If you are going to get anyone in I'd say trade in a benchie and go for Cammy Wood, he's cheap and will get plenty of TOG. yes I know he is not as top end as Sandi however it will fill a donut and is better AVG than most fillers.

Hmm, I only have 20 k in the bank though, so even if I use the money to sideways Tipett or Keefe, I might not even be able to afford him (plus I was planning on getting Chappy next week... :( ). I think I might just sideways Sandi for Mumford or someone like that, and perhaps get Sandi in later for a bit cheaper. My main concern is that I've only got 14 trades left, although I probably am only 3 premiums away from having a finished side.

[Wes Mantooth]

panic much?

good contribution Q.

i hope more panic... and burn two trades to get him back in! fools! muahahahaha  :o

[gerco]

Just a toe. He will be back before you know it....

Kind of ironic ain't it? The guy is so big but it only takes a toe to ground man mountain.  ::)

I'm nowhere near Sandilands size (only 6ft, 85kgs) but I hurt my left foot and had a barely perceptible crack in the bone in my foot between my big toe and my second toe. End result? 2 surgical screws and 14 weeks without walking on it...

Moral of the story is... feet take time!

[Ziplock]

Goldstein could be a good option, hasn't dipped below 90 since like rd 4.

That being said, when Hmac gets back his scoring potential could be adversely affected.

[ShaynoB]

finally a reason for not having him
tho really kinda annoyed that I picked him up in Supercoach for Jamar
I think my SC team is cursed, I picked up Jobe Watson and that weekend he does his hammy, I pick up Sandi and that weekend he gets turf toe lol
sorry for that guys

Browny who u going this week? Just so I know who not to get 
