Rnd 17 trades

[crowls]

So down to 3 trades left and still 2 def rookies on the ground.   What to do?


Team:
Llloyd, Stewart, Williams, Crisp, Duursma, Logue:  Gardiner, Naish
Neale, Fyfe, Oliver, Cripps, Sloane, Cunnington, Merrett, B Crouch - Setterfield, Clarke, Bewley
Grundy, Goldy - bines
Danger, Marshall, Dunkely, Boak, Parish, Heeney - Worpel, Young


option 1.
Duursma>Sicily/Weller   Sicily is cheaper, no d/m playing to connect with Weller.
Worpel>Hurn   via Gardiner this gets me full prem backline with Logue in D7 and no cover in fwds but able to dpp m/f with Setterfield.   No cover if Marshall, Boak go down.   Uses my cash and leaves one trade left.   Hurn unlikely to increase in price.


Option 2. 
Duursma>Sicily     130K in the bank
Keep Worpel at F7 for loophole and cover.   Leaves no cover in def, Logue on the ground.   2 trades left in bank.  If Boak or Marshall go down I have cover in Worpel or I can loophole with Parish.


For potential 30-50 point difference between Hurn and Logue it seems option 2 is safer at this stage.    Could also open up Worpel to Hoff if something happens to rucks.   Just having a bit more flexibility seems important.

My 2c is to do nothing or Option 2.
Long way to go still. If anything were to a few of your uncoverables you're buggered.
I think Duursma and Logue are good enough as D5/6. A lot of teams will be similar. Duursma is my D6.
I could trade Duursma for Sicily or Ryan and have Logue at D7. I could bring in Westhoff as F7 for forward/ ruck cover. My team would look great. Zero trades not so much haha.

with both hore and logue out and chol also ill likely be forced to use 2 of my remaining 4 trades to finish my team.

here is my back and forward line:
Williams, Lloyd, Laird, Ryan, Sicily, Hore (logue, naish)
Dangerfield, boak, tkelly, heeney, worpel, chol (young, gardner

normally id just wait until i have enough cash to get in my premos, however due to the recent injury crisis i need to use to those two trades.  I have $896,800 to spend (when trading hore + logue). Which option do you guys think is best option for me to take?

hore + logue to:
1) TStewart + westhoff
2) houli + Mundy
3) mclean + Hurn

or
4) just get a def premo this week (if chol is playing) and use 2 trades to upgrade to a better premo

[B.]

No Logue or Hore and looking at a 0... Any decent downgrade options ?

[crowls]

ffffffffffffruit!!!    logue out, cop donut or do i trade? 


if i go logue sicily,  leaves me short for hurn,  duursma at d6 on extended bench for sunday, no cover 2 trades left.    50k in cash.
thinking risking it.  stupid?  think its stupid need a better idea!    logue>birchall?   mmm smells desperate...

bench has many of the same problems as my team.   bewley to silvagni gets you d/f cover with setterfield back to mids for loophole and dpp open to fwds.    then have cover on all lines.

[RoughRed]

When do Sunday teams get confirmed?

[Bully]

With Logue out I think I'll be forced to hold Kelly, not happy about it but I just can't see any other way out of this mess.

do you have cover for kelly?    who are you targeting for logue?    i think i have to leave a trade option open for duursma if he is culled on sunday?

There's Quaynor @$153k, but only one game and we know how that can turn out. He did look pretty good though, would just have to hope its not another Logue situation

Fortunately can loop Rowbottom who is in very good form, if he throws up an absolute stinker I suppose I can then trade if necessary but it's looking like I'll be joining the zero trades club very soon.

The other option I have is Logue to Short, that's a straight swap with my funds available.

[RaisyDaisy]

Thankfully Logue is my D7, but I'll be keeping an eye on Birchall now as Logue to Birchall could be a trade worth doing eventually if Logue doesn't return and Birch looks OK - make a profit off the trade too

[no eye deer]

Is Logue to Silvagni as a nearly straight swap madness? Maybe, but Silvagni has been good the last couple after playing a loose tagging role. 50 in second half when moved onto Fyfe two weeks ago, then 100 last week.
Would give me cover fwd (currently Young and Gardner) dpp with Gardner.
