David Hale

Do you see it wise to dump hale for pitt?

my situation: i use hale as dpp with petrie in rucks. (cox,smith, petrie, macaulay) with hale currently on forward bench. Hale has probably topped out and wont improve in price too much, so looking at hale > pitt to keep earning dollars.

do i dump hale and the dpp link or let pitt go?

I'm in the same boat, but I have J tippet as well... I'm dumping Hale next week, he has a break even of 85 and I can't really see him earning much more then what he already has.

Would have to depend on how many trades you've already made.

agreed...assistant coach sees him drop continually from here....dumping him for pitt allows me to earn $$ and still have 3 poss 4 rucks scoring with cox, petrie, smith and now mccaulay after his 86.

was hoping petrie would score better to become 7th forward but all forward rooks of mine are out doing him.

its just most of my league are trade happy and i want to save mine.....its just hale is dead wait

That's a good point too, but it's quite a lot of money to have sitting on the bench in Hale. He will probably drop a few 1000 this week, I can't see him getting his b/e of 85 against the cats... But the choice is yours at the end of the day, you will have cover barring injuries *fingers crossed* and Smith is scoring enough to keep on field.

geez...was actually going to go broughton > toy then hale to fyfe or didak...but want to keep my trades as well as broughton another chance. i see hes named on hbf and not bp.

[matt1985]

Well after this round i'm sure you will know what you will want to do. I traded Broughton out to Toy this week, and Krakouer out to Didak. Will soon see if I made the right choice over the next few weeks :P

[hugebbq]

ive been mulling over the exact 2 trades all week....didnt do it though.....how much $$ do you think broughts will drop this week?

[matt1985]

If he gets another 55-60 probably drop another 30k or so? So maybe 275k- 280k? That's why I got rid of him, I didn't want to lose anymore money on him. But if he come right i'll end up regretting it lol.

I would be thinking something more like Put Petrie forward and hopefully try and upgrade Hale to sandilands. you need roughly 100K to make that happen but that would give you a very strong ruck quartet with cox sandi smith and mcauley all playing and scoring well.
