Hi all,

Can get Swan this week direct for howlett. Current team with 9 trades:

Goddard Hodge Malceski Enright Goodwin Shaw Gilbert       Webb Henders
Ablett Montagna Barlow Selwood Gibbs Howlett          Rohan Banner
Sandilands Naitanui                 Warnock Lobbe
Chapman Pavlich Brown Okeefe Ballantyne Higgins Pods    Peterson Rockliff

I can direct swap Howlett to Swan, with 1k left in the bank. Should I downgrade banner to gysberts also ? Does anyone think I need the cover. I have rohan so I can swap between forward and back. Is gysberts essential ?
Thoughts ?

See how long higgins is out for first. But Swan is a great pick for your mid for sure, gysberts is not essential you want the rookie who will play most for you at the time....

Next you may want to look at upgrading NicNat to cox then your very much done!  ;D

In your opinion, how many trades do you need for LTI's ? At the moment after upgrading howlett, ballantyne and natanui I will have 4/5 left. That will be by about round 15.

Wish I could use 3 trades this week, ballantyne is going to get monstered again by stevie baker.

Swan is definately a good pick up and would finalise your midefield.
In regards to gysberts if you trade him for Rohan you will get an extra 150K or so, which will be good to use for the future upgrades and you do have good coverage in your forward line. That way you can upgrade Ballantyne to just about any other premium forward you like. Then it's only your Rucks in Nait that needs attention, but for now he will be fine.

Rohan is my MPP link though and getting rid of him cuts off MPP.

I will need to get the cash to upgrade ballantyne from Peterson or Rockliff I think.

4 trades for LTI's should be enough.
