Benching Stants/Cotch

[Money]

I'l be benching both, I can most likely see Stants coming back next week and we don't know about Cotchin, benching both will help me in the long run, anyone else benching both or just one for that matter?

I'll be benching Cotchin, also benching Gibbs.. Just going to trade around it as per my normal plans. Trading them out is just a trade I have to use later on to get them back in and slow down my upgrading.

Benching Cotch but will still have 5 mid premos playing (if you count Moloney). Dunno if I'd be happy playing 4 mid rookies unless it was something like Wines, O'Meara, Jones and Mayes.

I'm benching Gibbs too! For that exact reason, I don't want my trade plans screwing up so trading around the nonsense is just easier

We were told Gibbs would only be a one week injury... I'm trading Stants

I traded Gibbs last week (though it was to Birchall, so I don't wanna talk about that).  Gibbs has a high BE anyway, so getting him back in shouldn't be an issue.  Cotch has a high BE too, but I'm benching him for this week, mainly because I had to deal with Grimes being injured.  Two weeks ago I was sitting pretty ready to start upgrading, and now my team has somehow gone backwards with all these injuries, plus Heppell being rested last week didn't help either.

I'm Umming and Arring about benching Stants. I can afford to Bench him and still carry out my trade plans so i think i will. Fingers crossed he is back for Brisbane as he should destroy them and his highest against them is 193 so he could even get his BE.

My mids will be:
Swan, GAJ, Pendles, Stevie J ( will sap into fwds when JJK goes) Moloney, Omeara, Jones, Evans (Stants & Neade)

Fwds: Rocky, Cloke, Bartel, Dusty, Buddy, JJK (Mcaff & Rowe)

I'm benching Cotch and Waters down back. Weakens my mids slightly but going Wines > Priddis helps.
