Scrub that just short of cash Salem to McKercher. Need to reassess with only $456k to spend,  Thoughts on Jayden Hunt,

Yeah, he'll do just as well or even Baily Scott could be worth the punt.

Another option and putting on coloured glasses is Rayner with scores 122 and 100 in last games and a slightly different role.  Has DPP to forwards as well.
Or the other one which is looking good now is no trades can loop Mannagh and Dowling for M8 and even Simpkin and Richards for F6.  Keeps 2 trades to cover any issues in defence.

[Colliwobblers]

I don't mind that either, Lions are flying he'll possibly have avg games but always play and have big ones too. Last couple he's been great, last game was his highest rated for his career actually.

Plus you get warm fuzzy feeling and loyalty points for having another Lion in your side :)

[arbel]

Agree wouldn't do the 2 trades. Just one if you have to. Also have cover so may not need to pull trigger just yet. Always better to keep trades if you can for finals

[Mat0369]

If you're doing 1 trade this is my shortlist

JHF - I think you can just afford him, probably middle of this list for me with
Rowell - Horribly out of form but the best ceiling
Hewett - I grabbed him this time last year and he was a fantastic pick. I don't know why Voss randomly plays him as the sub or drops him, he was one of our best on the weekend.
Cogs - if healthy, he seems like a high ceiling option at his price.
Bolton - Gives you the DPP swing but has been horribly out of form

If you wanted to go straight forwards you could go Curnow/McKay/Waterman. Otherwise there is the Oliver/Viney play which I'm not a huge fan of but it's an option. Otherwise Miers or Cameron but they had absolute stinkers on the weekend and will drop in price if you want to wait a week or 2 to grab them

Not the best score but will take it

Rd 20 Team



Good: Sheezel. Daicos, Stewart, Neal, Serong, Flanders, Zorko,
Average: Houston, Bontempelli, Green, Merrett, Caldwell, Simpkin
Bad: Dale, Ryan, Gulden, Mannagh, Dowling, Gawn,Heeney
Ugly: Rozee, English, Jackson
Not the best Captains choice with Neal into Bont with other options dragging me down

Do I continue to hold or time to use trades with 4 rounds remaining. Still could do the one trade of Salem to Rayner leaving 1. 

[Colliwobblers]

two tons in a row now Rayner worth a shot, it's Rayner and an injury trade Vs one up one down for premium mid.

With Ridley going down I'm glad I have that one injury trade. So my vote would be Rayner.

[arbel]

You have cover so trading Salem could be a go. May be better than relying on rookie looping. Guess it depends on your league outcome and who playing etc. Could use 1 and leave 1 for the end

[Mat0369]

Salem is expected back next week or the week after right? It's probably worth getting the points in this week for him, but I can see a reason to hold him as well

[Ringo]

Took a punt with Flanders as VC over Bont and what a fail jinxed him first time under 100.So all on Sheezel today.

[Ringo]

Lots of big scores around this week. Getting VC wrong really cost me some 85 points. When I VC Bont he dips and goes big when I do not.

Bad: Rayner, Dowling, Heeney, Simpkin

One of these days team will gel together.  Forwards let down this week.
Need to sort loopholes as should have had Mannagh forwrad to take his score over Jackson. This will allow Mannagh to be looped with Jackson and then Dowling with Rayner or other mid.
Keeping the one trade for injury as no real defence coverage.

[Ringo]

Lots of big scores around this week. Not nailing a VC/C cost me a bit. A lot of underperformers this week.

Not sure how to use last trade whether to strengthen bench by trading Freijah, Dowling or sideways a prem. Lack of cash an issue,

[arbel]

Yeah it is tough at this point ... always made harder with having to take in account any unforseen injuries. Having said that it about winning. If you are behind and need a to make change just have to pull the trigger.

[Mat0369]

With Sheezel out I'd look at trading Richards, swinging Dawson forward and bringing in the best available defender. You have cover for English with Mannagh and Jackson

[arbel]

Probably the best option is to do as Mat said to allow for cover next week or just pull the plug and sideways Sheezel to Sinclair and hope for no injuries next week
