We as some people would still have Jon Giles, i want to get rid of him.

I have an easy draw in the league and i have said to myself not to waste trades, as i got 3 left but i want to get rid of Giles as he has underperformed for the last 6 weeks. I would have around $360 000 in the bank, i do not want Mumford who i already had and my only options would be;

Tom Bellchambers; who has scored 97 & 114 in the last two weeks he has been called up. This is without Paddy Ryder in the team and Ryder is still out for another 2 weeks which should cover for my league fixtures but maybe Bellchambers might get dropped coming into finals?

Robert Warnock; i had Kreuzer and he was a waste, this man is suspended and should be back this week. He would probably be their #1 ruckman as a first gamer who plays CHF took their #1 mantle so yeah this man should get the role.

Any other options under $360k i should consider? I am really looking at Bellchambers though. Cheers

I have Bellchambers in my Ultimate Footy League and he is a gun when Ryder isn't playing.  Hopefully when Ryder comes back, they just play him up forward and drop Hille.  If Hille makes way for Ryder, Bellchambers should still maintain decent scores, if they do decrease maybe a little.

The only problem is if they persevere with the 3 Talls (Ryder, Bellchambers and Hille) - then he might not get enough Ruck time to be effective.

He is a good bet though, he would be very hard done-by to get dropped when Ryder comes back.

Bellchambers is the best of those mentioned, but I'm not convinced that it is worth the trade. Leaves you with 2 trades and a so so ruckman. Personally I'd sit on Giles until finals, then pick the best performing ruckman in your price range. Giles may even come good - Doubt it though :p

Good luck!

Giles has a breakeven of 117 and is projected to go down -$24k

In same position.  Going to hold Giles for now and look for upgrade come finals, he can make the cash back with an couple of solid games.  Does anyone know if Sandi is due back soon or is he out for the year?
Currently just over $400K with 151 b/e - could drop down to a gettable $360K????

Bellchambers won't be dropped. He's ahead of Hille in the pecking order. I guess it's whether you think his scoring will die off or not with Ryder's return. Definitely the best option you listed.
