Missed the boat on a few, wondering whether to make trades this week?

[Bluesalltheway]

So I managed to miss out on Nankervis and WHE, so they'll be coming in next week. The issue now is that will mean I can't bring in Mcgrath to strengthen my backline, or Hannan if he scores well again.

My backline currently consists of: Shaw, Laird, Adams, Marchbank, Otten, Hampton (Hibberd, Steward). With 100k in the bank, do I bring in Mcgrath right now for Hibberd? Meaning I can grab Nank and WHE next week without having to worry about dealing with my backline.

Any advice would be greatly appreaciated. Thank you :)

If you are sure you want all the said players then yes trade in McGrath now.

fwiw other backline rookies will come along soon enough, EVW & Berry,Newman and probably others all on the cheap so McGrath isn't a must have to secure your backline.

People see a few good scores and think players are must haves.


Will WHE make over 300k more than the player you are trading out, will he be a keeper?
Trades are gold and to me a correction is a missed rookie what will replace one that is not playing or a suspect pick that didnt work out.

I see WHE averaging 80 and Nank 100. No way are either worth wasting trades IMO as we are guessing that they can maintain the form for a full season

But with very few decent rookies this year, cash generation is going to be extremely scarce, so I'm more worried about missing out on them for that reason.

I did Roughy to Nank. Broke the rules but it has worked out so far. I had the same reasoning of wanting 2 trade next week.

Good trade, ill be do the same if roughly scores low again

[Judd Magic]

I did Eddy > Hannan this week (think Eddy is going to be a spud)

I want to be able to use 2 trades next week -

Taranto > Butler
Hibberd > McGrath


That way I should have all the half decent rookies then (not that there are many of them)  ::)

If you expect a 80 from whe at 210k he is a absolute lock. Trades arent that valuable if your going for ranking. Points are valuable

He was a lock for me to start and I did, but I don't see it as a lock if you need to trade him in. A good option yes, but not a lock.

If he makes 400k that means he will hit 600k and be a premium. He will make 250k max IMO. Great if you started, so so if oyu need to use 2 trades (1 to get him in and 1 to get him out)

its 1 trade as you will also need to trade him out.

Im picking him up not expecting anything more then 70-75 from here. A 70 means he will go up 100k by round 6 and will outscore the other rookies. If GHS JOM Swallow Taranto Bowes etc.. all go like 75+ ill change my tune but for thsoe going for overall he is a must at this point.

No1 actually gets 150k value out of every single trade they make, it's not a rule more of a guideline.
Points win and to get points you need money but you also need value and the good scoring players.
Obviously you don't want to/can't trade in every rookie after a good game but if you identify 1 or 2 special ones by not acting you miss valuable points early and more importantly the best cash generators.

Distinguishing which players i.e Nank,Steele,Martin types ect are the real deal for the entire year as opposed to just having a hot run of form early before returning to mediocrity is what separates the successful teams from the ones that end up carrying dead weight after jumping on board all the early bolters.

As for WHE average, just by using my eyes (watched both games) i think an average of 85 is achievable for him.
Looks like the sort of player who will counter the lower games with the odd better game, just my opinion.

Agree with you Grufflez.   I have WHE above McGrath in corrective trade requirements.    Get the feeling Steele is also likely to prove worthwhile with a 500k price point and 90-95 avg by year end.    If you looked for a list forwards who are guaranteed to make 95+ this year it will be pretty short.     Would i trade rooughy to Steele?  Hell no.
