Rd.15 Trades

[Rusty00]

Ok, so the big Croatian getting suspended for a week has forced me to trade this week as I have no ruck cover.

Wouldn't be opposed to trading him out as he is averaging a bit lower than the top guys but can't afford S Martin, Jacobs or Blicavs in a straight swap.

Don't really want to use 2 trades as only have 7 left, so thinking of trading Hogan (F7) to McKernan. Will give me a bit of extra cash for future improvements, McKernan can cover at R2 this week and then should provide comparable scoring cover to Hogan for the rest of the year.

[Ricochet]

Yeh I'm not sure what to do with him either rusty. May just have to cop the donut

Or trying to work out if trading him down to McKernan is reasonable

[Grazz]

Im just going to have to wear it i think. :(

Due to lack of trades, or lack of options you like?

Maric can go die in a hole

give me no ruck options at all (was holding Smartin) so basically HAVE to trade
not really sure what my options are (have 5 left) so waiting for some injury reports first (Carlton's for Cripps and Everitt being the main one for me)

was originally planning on upgrading Cripps, but that might have to be put onto the backburner

Cripps is the only rookie in my 22 when I have a full squad. Only having 70k and 4 trades I am stuck on what to do. Maybe Sidebottom which leaves me with 3 injury trades for the year.

Sidebottom is extremely cheap for what he can do.

anyone have his BE?

Bennell is causing concerns but have Hogan as cover. Not ready to burn a trade on Bennell just yet and could wait for Goddards 29 to leave his rolling average (note that it was only the second time Goddard has dropped below 90 all year).

Also debating merits of Cripps to Rocky/Ablett.  May wait a week on this trade.

I've calculated a rough figure of 115, but it's probably a couple less than that (somewhere between 112 and 115 would be my guess)

Rocky at 72 is a more assured thing, but can you trust it sight unseen?

[ADEZ]

Sidey has a 115 b/e...

I have 475k to finish my team with a forward and am stumped...narrowed it down to gunston and smith...
Gunston has bottomed out at 431k after his shocker 15 three weeks ago, was averaging a consistent 96 till that game and has scored two 90s since. Has 5 tons and 3 below 80. Roughead factor may be significant...
Devon smith is at 472k averaging 90 (95 since r.2) hasn't been as consistent usually and also has 5 tons and 3 below 80 like gunstan. Smith has the better draw...
Anyone keen to share their thoughts?

Have held Rocky, good to finally have him back lol. Will be going Hogan to Steele, and then Dumont to a mid (not sure who yet), leaving me with one mid rook who will become gaj in a couple of weeks and lumumba as d6, rest done with 9 trades.

At a little bit over 500k he has to be looked at. The trade will leave me with a bit over 45k in the bank

anyone have his BE?

I think the Cripps BE is going to be just as important when looking at this move.

102 for PCripps

[Capper]

Will be going Sloane to Armitage and either Cripps (if he is out) or Saad to Steele
