Trade or shoot the messenger

[Yoshi]

I know another Broughton thread but this guy is really doing my head in. I'm sure I've greyed more this past week over him whether to trade.....don't.....trade......don't......???? Just not certain. 
So I thought I'd throw my team out to see what thought/suggestions everyone might have. Stuck on these ideas.

1. Don't trade. Suck it up & hope he comes good.
2. Trade for Toy. Use the extra cash else where.
3. Trade to Hibberd if named. Although he maybe better once 1 of my backs have fattened to down grade.
4. Trade to Adcock.

Used 2 trades with $60000 left in the slush funds.

Not the line up for this week.

B. Goddard, Gibbs, Delideo, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Duigan. (Smith, Lower, Stanley)
M. Swan, Boyd, Bartel, A. Swallow, Curnow, Heppell. (D. Swallow, Harris, Bewick)
R. Sandilands, Cox (Smith, McCauley0
F. Franklin, N. Reiwodlt, S. Johnstone, Higgins, Knights, Darling, Tapscott. (Krakouer, Matera, Richardson)

Any suggestions appreciated.

im keeping him, i know its risky but we can always upgrade him later, and iv got a feeling he will unleash shortly!!!!!!

[corzer]

out of those options id go adcock because he's already had a bye and he has a good average

[Bazinga]

Big chance of him getting more time up the ground with Suban going down. I would'nt expect Adcock to keep his high average and there aren't too many other Premium Backs who are setting the world on fire. I'd be keeping him - he will be in the top 10 defenders after round 24.

Is Gram not a good option to replace Broughton?

Is Gram not a good option to replace Broughton?

He is but I don't want to leave myself with pittance in bank. Trading to Gram would only leave me around 10 - 20k.

I think Adcock is your best option. Next is Toy.

This has been doing my head in too :P

If I trade him out to someone like Smith or Toy, I can upgrade Krak to almost anyone, which sounds nice, BUT, in hindsight, I could have done the same thing at the start of the season. Personally I've spent the last 2 weeks correcting mistakes, and if I look at how much money Broughton has already lost, I'm just throwing cash away.

Although I'm still considering, I'm pretty firm on not trading him out this week. He's not too far from bottoming out anyway, plus I can't jump on every cash cow available. Ride it out. We've only had 4 weeks, and plenty can change in the time to come. Toy could get dropped, Hibberd never named and Adcock could smash his face on a wayward knee this week, while Broughton could outscore Swanny. All unlikely scenarios, but this is DT right? :P

 ;D Thamne - touche.

im keeping broughton - refer to my thread "i didnt think i would trade but.." people have made great points about broughton and why you SHOULDNT trade him.

[thanme]

Worst case scenario is that we're all back here crying about it for the next few weeks :P

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

shoot. my patience has run dry.

[Davoo]

its been literally trade, keep, trade keep, trade and i think im going to keep him. if i dont make a trade today then hes there to stay as i cant get adcock.

[Windigo]

Keep him, he may lose some cash. But at least he will get you a 50, and with the hope he can get back to the 80+ average!
