Round 5 Trades

[Wanderer]

Setters to ROB via Bines, Greene to Worpel for me.

Means fielding Parker (or Petrucelle if he doesn't get up). Forward line definitely my first line I wanna upgrade.

If you're getting Worpel, wouldn't it be better to just keep Greene? He'll play soon and Worpel's unlikely to be Top 6 I'd have thought. I have Greene still and now that I missed Marshall and Rozee in the last two weeks, I'm not going to throw good money after bad and get someone less good...

I know its early but worpel is 10th overall for fwds

3 of his 4 scores are barely a pass for a prem forward though

I can't see him being Top 10 for the year

I also hesitated at Rozee and Marshall for Greene. I’m not considering bringing them in now, the horse has bolted there.
What I am considering is Greene to a Def Rookie (Possibly Hore) via Moore to Fwd. and Mills up to Whitfield.

The outcome being same number of rookies on my field but with team restructured so that 1 less rookie on field Fwd and 1 more rookie on field in Def which I’m comfortable with as Def rookies tend to score better. Another rookie for cash gen plus an underperforming Mills up to an absolute keeper in Whitfield.

Love to hear thoughts, do we think this is a worthy scenario? Only used the one trade so far, currently 29 remaining and ranked inside top 8000.

First class trading, get it done!

+1
I still have Mills as well and considering offloading him to bolster my forward line.

[LaHug]

There's nothing I can do with Greene (again) unless I downgrade him to a rookie instead of downgrading Setterfield and that doesn't make sense to me with Greene still a chance to come back and deliver good scores (who knows when though). So unless I pass on Stack, I'm holding Greene again.

I’m also holding him. I’m bloody hoping he is back next week >:(

[tommy10]

Holding Crisp for now as I need cash generation, so Parker/Setters to Rotham (via Moore up fwd) and ROB (via Bines fwd). Leaves me with Hore & Rotham as D7/D8, and Balta & Bines as F7/F8 respectively with Drew as F6  8)

Next week, looking at Butters>Ross, Clark to fwd premo via Moore or def premo.

[Holz]

Gawn to O’brien
Parker to Gray

Leaves me with 300k

Atkins/Scott/Gibbons to Ross
Defender rookie to Lloyd

Locked in...

Big risk but I’m going to take it.

Bold play, not sure I would have the balls.

Holz.... look what you've done  ;D

I’m probably going to regret this but if it goes pear shaped I can blame Holz

for the record im not trading my R2 to Rob unless my rookie downgrades dont play.


While im giving out ideas.

This might be a good one


Gawn to Mumford

Fwd rookie to ROB

means you get the premo scoring of Mummy with also lots of cash made and then you have the cover of ROB for the next few rounds. Then potentially when jacobs comes back then you can go ROB to Lycett/Hoff for what might be a close swap and there you go.

Still gives you the cash to bring in a premo and you look really safe/

Was thinking the same thing, but dont have the guts to do it  :P

These strike me as an excellent trades with minimum downside.

Spudderfield to ROB
Butters to Stack

Not happy with the spudderfield trade but has to be done. He won't make cash for 2 weeks and ROB will.  Leaves me with 250k

[crowls]

opt 1 parker>marshall,  butters>rotham    duursma to mids.     
opt 2 sheed>lloyd goldstein>mumford

option 3 sheed>lloyd  goldy>rob
option4  goldstein>ROB  burgess>lloyd   leaves setters, petroljelly parker as f6-f8

Rule out option 1 mate unless you're happy to have Rotham sit at D8. Everything I've read says here, on Twitter and elsewhere says he's a poor option.
Not sure as to what is the best of the other options.
Sheed looks set to score as he has previously. Mumford a good option but ROB looks rock solid for 200k profit now as he should play at least 4 or 5 games minimum.
Option 3 perhaps.

Thanks NZ.   I see opt 4 as a good way of getting in lloyd now, generating cash and being able to upgrade to GAWN in time for the byes.    Where I would struggle to justify trading Goldy to Gawn, it is mentally easier to upgrade from ROB.   On a points basis  Goldy/Burgess  100+40  vs ROB/LLOYD  115 + 80
55-75 points per round and cash generation of 200k from ROB cf Burgess.   
Talked myself into it I think.  Sheed can sit for another week his BE is around his average so not dropping cash.  Plus still not clear if Gaff is taking points from him.   My initial impression is that Gaff is but willing to wait and see.

Spudderfield to ROB
Butters to Stack

Not happy with the spudderfield trade but has to be done. He won't make cash for 2 weeks and ROB will.  Leaves me with 250k

Yes it leaves $250K PLUS the $200-300K that ROB will make if he maintains his average and for the next 5 weeks. I wil most likley do the ROB - setters - bines trade also.
I'm not sold on Butters trade tho, stack and butters could end up making the same amount of coin if stack dishes up another 40-50 this week and that 100 is out of this average. With Port's momentum falling and WC this week, the coaches might make the decision easier for us to bring in experience and drop butters.

whats the reason everyone is sleeping on Rotham?

poor JS?

[Bully]

Yep, might not even be named this week which would be good for down the track.

We're very settled down back

He will only get games if someone gets injured. I would only suggest getting him if he A) gets named and B) is your D8 and you have a solid D7

This is me. And I already have Lycett at F4 to mitigate the risks, perfect. Gawn>Mummy and Setters> ROB

[tommy10]

If he is named, I'm getting him in. Will make good coin if he stays on the park. Have Hore already so will be D7 at worst. If he doesn't play, can loophole him. If Hore/Rotham gets dropped, then will upgrade one of them. ROB is locked either way.
