Phasir's Finals Team - 2012

[Phasir]

deciding whether or not to finalise the team this round or not, currently

Def:   Deledio, Waters, Goddard, Suckling, Heppell, Grimes, Adcock, (Darley, S.Shaw)
Mid:   Watson, S.Selwood, J.Selwood, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Williams, (D.Smith*, Treloar***)
Ruck: Maric, Giles**, (Mumford, Redden)
Fwd:  Franklin, Beams, Sidebottom, Chapman, WhiteX, Martin, Dangerfield, (Zorko, Couch)


I'm thinking of bringing in:
Swan ~ D.Smith
Gibson ~ Treloar
Goldstein ~ Giles


This leaves me with 4 trades left & $4k left in the bank with the final team looking something like this...

**this gives me ONE more doughnut in R13, but finalises my team with the luxury of being able to do it all at once with the bye-round 3 trades, any thoughts/suggestions?  ;D

I personally reckon leave Giles be, and hold that extra trade... Youll need it later on.

[Phasir]

even though Giles is listed as still injured, he's peaked, will probably fall slightly in value, & Goldstein who is slightly underpriced is set to be one of the two highest averaging ruckman for the rest of the year?

[Dave085]

Yeah stuff it actually, i didnt realise he scored so well over the last few weeks. Ouch, that is definately my bad. Go for it mate, but yes, i do hope no injuries come/resting.

[Phasir]

  All good man, I will admit I'm wary of burning through 3 of my last 7 trades for the year but if I go through with it the team's projected to get 2,400+ each week for the rest of the season from a full team of premiums and will have decent bench cover (baring massive form loss/injuries/resting issues) ... now just need to get the cajones to go through with it :-X

[Thunderstruck]

I wouldn't go to Goldy simply because once Hmac is back his scores will drop and we already saw this early in the season.

I would go to Jacobs or unique across to Griffen since Sandman is out though I would keep Giles personally. I can see you kept Mummy so it would be a total waste not to use him and Maric as your primary rucks and then have Giles as your back up.

[Cjewell_32]

I reckon you should keep Giles, then H Mac comes back by finals(DT) who knows what will happen? Mumford will get better through the season and was one of the main ruck pick until he was injured.

[dmagnus]

I guess he's got that for cover to save a trade, fair enough in the other areas but you really shouldn't do that in the rucks IMO

[Phasir]

  my starting rucks were Mumford, Hmac, Giles, Redden, swapped Hmac for Maric in R7, I'm just being a little cautious with Mumford as my #2 ruck because his form coming back from injury hasn't been anywhere near what I was hoping for at the start of the season, but you guys do make a valid point :)

[nrich102]

hold giles

[Phasir]

might just keep the 3 rucks i have now & use the 100k elsewhere after all the comments, still want to get swan & gibson in for smith & treloar though, is it worth having an extra doughnut this round to do it?
