Isaac Smith and Paul Puopolo - trade?

jrussell · April 15, 2011, 01:58:16 PM

As the subject above notes I have Paul Puopolo and Isaac Smith both sitting idle on my bench.

All of my other rookies are playing and my team is alright - rank in top 3000. Last week i downgraded Palmer to curnow which was a good trade. I have 23 trades to go and 150,000 in the bank.

Does anyone know why these 2 are not getting a game and if they will soon.
I am tempted to trade smith to prestia (who is scoring well and has had his bye) and Paul Puopolo to (bordie Simth).
Is this a waste of trades? is one a better idea then the other? Any other better ideas?

Cheers

Unless you can find a reason that those two would be playing any time soon, I would go with those two trades you suggested. Both great trades in my eyes.

You've overlooked a Golden rule of Dreamteam.

Never, and I mean never trade anyone into your side who has the name Isaac. The stats speak for themself.

Hey guys, just on puopolo I also have him sitting on my bench... only player on my team not playing or played yet.

im THINKING would a puopolo to cam pederson be a worthy trade? pederson named on North's extended bench and could play...1st game 97 (however did have to ruck against cox, but did play well)

questions im asking are:

is his js good?
are there better options? (already have otten, lower, puopolo, heppell, stanley)

would love some good feedback.

Puopolo has been named emergency so is getting pretty close, Smith's the one to offload and
keep Puopolo for a couple more i am.

I have Puo and I'm keeping him for now.

how do you only have $150k with 23 trades to go, when you just made $200k on your downgrade to curnow? :-\

Stratton is gone for the season and Osbourne a couple of weeks. One more injury to the Hawks and I think Poupolo will get consistent games

Glad I didn't go with Puopolo, I think he is the 2011 version of Kayer-Thompson. Oh the pain!
