Carn 2019

[Ringo]

With 10 trades and up to you but would be tempted to strengthen benches and leave Rocky to sloane next week and just sideways Hately to Clarke. 
Will leave you 6 trades stronger bench,
Would probably use one on a mid bench down to a 102k rookie with forward dpp for flexibility hold cash and 5 trades. 

[Carn]

You have done very well though, that's a very solid side. Perhaps worth waiting on Rocky -> Sloane until next week because that move won't net you anything this week and gives you another week of information. Especially if there's no plans on trading next week anyway.

Cheers PB. Agree would love to wait on sloane next week but rocky BE 114 and if he plays might get eased in the fwd line. Cash might be too tight to risk.

Thanks Ringo, realised I already have Clarke and now updated.

Stronger bench option:
R14
Setterfiled to Naish
Libba to Buddy

R15
O.Baker to Riach (m/f swing)
Burguess to Mundy

Leave me with 6 trades and the below:
Lloyd Williams Smith Sicily Laird Hore (Hinge Naish)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Danger M.Crouch Rocky (Bewley Riach Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Mundy Heeney Kelly Boak Cameron Gray (Buddy Gardner)

Would have to hope Buddy turns it on for the rest of the year and loop with Gardner and keep Rocky.

[Carn]

So in summary:

Option 1 - just get dunkley
Libba to Dunkley
Setterfield to Riach

= 8 trades
Lloyd Williams Smith Sicily Laird Hore (Hinge Burguess)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Danger M.Crouch Rocky (Bewley O.Baker Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Dunkley Heeney Kelly Boak Cameron Gray (Riach (m/f) Gardner)


Option 2 - Stronger bench
R14
Setterfiled to Naish
Libba to Buddy

R15
O.Baker to Riach (m/f swing)
Burguess to Mundy

= 6 trades
Lloyd Williams Smith Sicily Laird Hore (Hinge Naish)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Danger M.Crouch Rocky (Bewley Riach Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Mundy Heeney Kelly Boak Cameron Gray (Buddy Gardner)

Option 3 - Strong mids
Libba to Oliver
Setterfield to Naish
Rocky to Sloane

= 7 trades
Lloyd Williams Smith Sicily Laird Hore (Hinge Naish)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Oliver M.Crouch Sloane (Bewley O.Baker Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Heeney Kelly Boak Cameron Gray (Burguss Gardner)

Assuming you need the cash from Setters to Riach to go Dunkley. Think if you want Dunkley this is the week to get him as he will be well above $600k going forward.

So would suggest Option 1 and then assess again especially Rocky,  Would you have the 40k to go Rocky to Sloane next week.

No option 1 leaves 3k unfortunately. Also worried about rocky dropping as he has a high BE

[Ringo]

He is not playing this week though so could work something next week.  Like Burgess to Naish and Rocky to Sloane.

Love it. Done, cheers

Gardner and Rocky out mean I only have 17 FMSCL

[Carn]

R14 1812
Overall rank 2556
Trades 8
3k cash

R14 Option 1 - get Logue
Hore to Logue
Rocky to Sloane

Leave me with 6 trades and the below:
Lloyd Williams Laird Smith Sicily Logue (Hinge Burguss)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Sloane M.Crouch Dunkley (Bewley O.Baker Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Kelly Boak Cameron Heeney Gray (Riach Gardner)

Leaves me with 226k cash for a Logue/Burgess upgrade later

or

R14 Option 2 - keep Hore miss Logue
Burgess to Naish
Rock to Sloane

Bench is rubbish. Fingers will be crossed for a few weeks. Hope Sicily plays back again and Cameron goes big soon.

[PowerBug]

Would go with Option 1 of those ones but I would be tempted to hold Rockliff and upgrade the D6 spot instead of downgrading it.

R15 2249
Overall rank 2807
Trades 6
340k cash

R16
Burguss to Salem/Crisp
Rocky to Sloane

Lloyd Williams Laird Smith Sicily Crisp (Logue Hinge)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly Sloane M.Crouch Dunkley (Bewley Hately Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Kelly Boak Heeney Gray Cameron (Riach Gardner)

Season Review
Backs: Big 3 for most of the year, stuck with Smith & Sicily but will hope they turn it round. Salem putting up some big numbers last punt really. Crisp option safer but low ceiling this year.
Mids: Love all here. M.Crouch the only disappointment (avg. 102) but take out his injury game and he is avg. 107.5
Rucks: glad I started them
Fwd: Happy I started Kelly Danger and got Boak in early. Cameron and Gray are looking like fails that could cost me my season. Heeney Meh. In hindsight should have got the rucks in at D5 & D6, i.e Lycett, Marshell. Always next year.

I had planned 20-19-19 through the byes but injury and rookie selections ended up 20-17-17
My rank slide has been rapid from:
R10 215
R15 2807

Would love to know what you guys think.
What mistakes did I make?

R16 2320

R17
Murphy to Hurn
Kelly to Bont

Lloyd Hurn Laird Williams Sicily Smith (Logue Hinge)
Neale Macrae Cripps Fyfe Bont Danger Sloane M.Crouch (Riach Hately Clarke)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Dunkley Kelly Boak Heeney Gray Cameron (Burguss Gardner)

Team finished.
I was hoping to have 3 trades left but forced to trade Kelly to Bont this week.
So rolling with 2 for the rest of the year.
F5 & F6  and bench cover is weak. Fingers crossed.
