Chappy is he worth an extra trade???

[disco1992]

Save the trades. You only have 11 left and still have to get through the byes. Yea you will gain ranks in the short term but good luck finishing top 10,000 by the end of the year with the amount of trades you will have left after the byes.

the trades actually help my byes believe it or not and it would leave me with 7 trades after round 13 which hopefully should be enough to cover injuries

So your telling us you are only planning on making 2 trades over the bye rounds?

hmmm anyone who only trades twice over the byes is going to eat a lot of donuts, but they won't be alone there...

lets assume everyone but redden plays during the byes players out (donuts eaten in bracket)
           round 11                    round 12                  round 13
def            2(0)                           2(0)                        4(2) hoping to trade morris- docherty or something to minimise to 2 donuts
mid           3(1)                           2(0)                        2(0) hoping to trade horse to swan to remove donut
ruck          2(0)                           2(0)                         2(0)
for            3(1)                           3(1)                         3(1)
NAIVE I KNOW but if it works ill have 6/7 trades to shoot for a league win :)

do the double and i would strongly consider ROK.

Last 5 = 98 - 105 - 78 - 116 -109.

only downside he has two tough games during league finals if you care.

Ablett and Zaka or Rok this round is a big boost but Chappy after sidebottom and Beams has to be the best fwd option overall, then stevie J at his best can outscore the lot of them....

tough choice good luck :)

Yer i was thinking 2 trades would be good for 2 upgrades leaving me with only horse and giles on the field!!

but damn colli you made the choice harder adding the inform ROK aswell however do you think zaha should be on the up in an improving team???
cheers

to make 2 upgrades you will have to make a minimum of 1 downgrade meaning you will use 3 trades over the bye rounds and you will still be eating a box of doughnuts.  Would also mean you have 6 trades remaining after the byes at the most and I tell you right now unless you are the luckiest bloke around and even thats not enough cause you will get LTI's and then players getting rested come the end of the year you will be in a world of hurt and a ranking of 10,000+. Im sure you will say you will be fine but odds are $1.04 come the end of the year I will be saying I told you so

i see your point but wouldnt it be better having 2 extra premos and then only having to trade for LTI's I'm just trying to be a bit lucky like impromptuSC was last year listened to his advice about trading hard and early!!! i dont mind if my rank slips im just trying to improve on last year!! the only good thing about my dting is picking up the break out ruck with goldstien and maric haha

I can see what you want to do but I am just trying to save you from disaster come the end of the year. Look at it this way I have 15 trades now and will have 10 trades after the byes and I think that will only just be enough.

Yer i see your point exactly and fully understand and i mean your advice is clearly valid as your top 500 in DT and SC (on a side note you are smashing it!! congrats) my only thing is i'm so far in the shower the ability to turn it around is minimal hahah eg i traded swan to pendles last week and am looking to get swan back round 13 ( stupid trades!!!)

[Fenno]

Ouch. You could be regretting it even more if Swan returns this weekend and he is a chance. Hey if you go for it I wish you well. But you are going to have to be super smart about your trades from here and your going to have to be prepared to take the odd doughnut.

Yer i know to make things worse my emergency was treloar hahah!!!! lost points and trades!!! and super smart is an understatement i will have to ride my luck from here. hopefully i get lucky with LTI's

[disco1992]

now should i trade smith and shiel this week or im thinking smith to zaha and then jmac to ablett next week as i feel shiels js is better for byes

[HappyDEZ]

JS @ GWS? I reckon Ward, Mohr & Davis. Probs missed a few but thats the way it is at GWS.

[nrich102]

Well I mean jmac has only played in 2 week stints!!!

[Fenno]

I had a think about it and even though Chappy would be the better get Zaha has been good and he is less likely to get injured and the most important thing is it saves you a trade.

After this post I feel that will be the best option only thing is who to keep jmac or shiel?? I can't trust jmacs js over the byes where shiel just had his break??
