Round 18 Trades

[AN1611]

Looking to find a replacement for NIc Nat under 501k as I only have 2 trades left.

Need to decide between Sinclair, bellchambers and witts.

What does everyone think about those choices? Mainly have my eye on one off sinclair and bellchambers

Pretty line-ball, if in doubt grab the ruck from the winning side (Sinclair).

Like i said higher up Sinclair has a better average than NicNat anyway.
I am in same predicament. Sinclair looks the best option.

Yea leaning towards sinclair at the moment. Only thing tempting about bellchambers is that he is coming up against a freo without sandi & darcy

Saw him hobble off with a groin issue towards the end of the game. unless cramp, you'd think a few weeks out.

If Macrae goes sub 120 and Guelfi has another good game, I might be in a position to get Macrae in and move Rocky or Martinto M9. Fingers crossed..

[Urbaninfinnity]

Well now that Nic Nat is confirmed to miss the rest of the season, I need to decide who to get in.

There are a few things I could do:
1. Go all in and get Grundy, but have little money in the bank and hold the last trade for injuries.
2. Get Goldy, same as getting Grundy but will have more money to play with for injury trades.
3. Get Stef instead, have more money in the bank and possibly upgrade Dusty to Macrae in a few rounds.

Nicnat to Martin

Grundy or Goldy, your bound to need that 1 trade to fix an injury at some point anyway, goldy in some great form but grundy is grundy, take ur pick. Id go grundy

So, I have NicNat, 2 trades, and no money (well, not enough to make a difference).
Juuuuuuuuuust short of straight trading to Sinclair (or Nank). But, I kept Fyfe on the bench, as I have Hoff for floating mid/fwd cover.

1) Straight trade to Sauce, and keep one trade
or 2) DG Fyfe to someone (Curnow?) for a little bit of cash and restoring mid/fwd cover, and then NicNat up to anyone, but caution to the wind with no trades...

Thoughts?

Yeah tough one Fyfe will be a POD if you can keep him and the rucks available for one trade aren't much chop Jacobs just throws in to many stinkers take a punt on Bellchambers or Lycett ? but one thing for sure having no trades this far out will probably not go well.

How about Bellchambers? In good form and has a decent run of ruck opponents (including Freo no Sandi, Port no Ryder,Saints)
Or Witts? Gives u more cash for emergency trade and averaging 6 more than Sauce.
Belly averages 10 more than Sauce.
I'd rather have a trade left.

Very similair position to me.
Nicnat and fyfe to deal with.
2 trades left.
Wingard as floating cover.
I had 38k in bank
Went sinclair and mcrae.

Seeing as you have cover are probably better going for a better ruckman and downgrading fyfe to someone amd loop players each week possibly

[BundyOP]

NicNat and fyfe out.

Either

S.Martin and a 530k mid in
Or
C.Sinclair and mcrae in.

Nicnat and sicily out
Sinclair and Hurn in

Have to hold on to fyfe.

Thankfully have wingard and ahern as coverage for fyfe and gray

Zero trades club here i come

Advice about Sicily trade?

Team:
Def - Lloyd, Laird, Yeo, SICILY, Howe, Ryan (Mihocek, Redman)
Mid - Mitchell, Cripps, Gaff, Oliver, J.Kelly, Merrett, Crouch, Martin (Phillips, Giro, Barry)
Ruck - Gawn, Grundy (Olango)
Fwd - Heeney, Franklin, McLean, Westhoff, Walters, Boak (Ahern, T.Smith)

6 trades - 95k in bank. Currently leaning option 1 or 3.

Option 1 - Sicily to Simpson
Option 2 - Sicily to McDonald and Martin to Macrae
Option 3 - Sicily to Webster and Phillips to Menegola/De Goey (leaves one of Menegola/DeGoey/Boak as floating M9/F7 cover)

Option 3. It creates an extra loophole possibility for you in mids as well as DPP and better cover.

Well, flower. Thanks for the advice guys, but Sicily out also means I guess I'm holding Fyfe :P

NicNat to Belly sounds like a winner. Sicily to Hurn. Join RD at the 0 trades club. Pray haha.
