why is hampton scoring so poorly? He is playing inside mid, attending many centre bounces

Doesn't get enough pill

might be worth passing on in a few weeks. depending on his b/e this week

B/E should be about 5ish, can hold another week definitely then it'll jump up to 40 odd

Hopefully Cedric Cox can have a couple good games, would be good timing for a downgrade.

Balic and Berry on the bubble next week, sucks that we can only afford to choose one of them..

Balic and Berry on the bubble next week, sucks that we can only afford to choose one of them..

Why cant we pick both.
Berry hasn't played his second game yet so no one knows yet if he is going to be worth it, but didn't show enough in his first to even keep me interested.

If you look at most of the rookies who are playing that people would be able to trade.
Parfitt - Got a 90+ in his average, going nowhere soon.
Houston - Solid JS and Scoring, more cash to make
Pickett - 50 this week should have jump started his Cash Generation, if you still have him trading now would be a poor choice.
Barrett - Got dropped, but will make cash when or if he comes back in. Hold
Taranto - probably have a BE around 35, likely trade option if you still have him as only make another 40-50k total.
Witts - Probably 1 more week of cash generation before he stagnates at $400k. May be worth trading to Spencer if he can back up with another good score.
SPP - Will need to see his BE after this week, may be worth holding for 1 more.
SPS - Will make cash due to his 100+, but might max out after the next rise.
Butler - Will need to see today, but is looking solid for atleast 3-4 more weeks.

Many will have some that aren't playing aswell. Really it comes down to trades too. If you have used 3-4 by now how many more corrections are you going to do?

Personally I would take Balic has I have reservations on Berry especially if Cedric Cox shines in the next 2 weeks. Also we have Bundy and Beast Mode coming back who will be in best 22.

Disagree with a few of these

Pickett is useless. That 49 will see him go up about 15k. In a months time he still wouldn't have made 100k. He is the first rookie to go

Witts down to Spencer doesn't make much sense at all too. Just spend the 150k and upgrade Witts to Stef/Grundy etc - no point at all going down again only to have to go up again eventually- wasting trades. Witts is a firm hold for now anyway as doing well  enough

Taranto is one I would dump too if you can get a better looking rookie and make cash Eg/ Taranto to Balic

Parfitt, SPS, SPP etc I would hold for now - JS not an issue and should tick along making $$

Not sure what to do with Barrett just yet, but as he is M10/11 for most probably best just to hold for a while long and see what happens

[Ringo]

If you need to adjust rookies I would get rid of Barrett. As a lions supporter with Bundy and Beastmode due back he may find it difficult to get back in especially with Clugg and Berry in team.

[Ricochet]

No way I'd get rid of Barrett. There's always injuries and form drops.  He'll be back

[King_Robbo]

You can't really pick both Berry and Balic, there is really only Pickett or Taranto who are asking to be traded.. the rest of the cows are still mooing along and thus, I couldn't justify culling a couple just to get in a couple on the bubble

I've got Florent, Hibberd and Eddy on the bench doing nothing  :-\

Pickett, Florent, Stewart and Eddy could all be dumped

Disagree, I think all can pop out a 80-100 and see them make some significant cashola
