Luke Ball

[kilbluff1985]

could have done the same thing with Thomas then but he will average more then Ball

[Colliwobblers]

ball will make you as much money as moloney did - would have if you had him.

he is a star 9 not a ultra premo but a 90+ genuine premium you can rely on.

i agree tho that wait to make sure he is fit and back in for full games before getting on.

nothing wrong with getting him at this point of the season, the only reason you wouldnt would be if you have  a full team on the park of premiums, which is impossible. so you are still looking for cash cows.

at this point you dont want rooks on your field tho, not for much longer anyway, this is why ball would be a good option once in for full games, he is making you money yet scoring you reliable solid scores.

wines doesnt have to go yet BE 86 even if he has another average game he isnt going to lose you much, i would hold wines until you are either SURE of ball or SURE of a new mid rook.

i would think with stevensen heath and neade there are more pressing trades fwd and back in any case.

one thing to consider over the next two weeks ( or rather four things)

1. birchall bottoming out maybe also gibbs if you dont have him anymore....
2. watson cotchin bottoming out
3. franklin bottoming out

4. AND BEST - nicnat bottoming out.

i would structure your trades this week to make sure you are in a position to take advantage of these above trades ins next week and or the week after.

Did you see an earlier post with my team? What would you do with it?

[Colliwobblers]

What would you do with this ?

Backs: Goddard, gibbs, hanley, waters, lester, terlich (brown, corr)
Mids: ablett, pendles, jellwood, fyfe, S.Mitchell, omeara, wines, vlastuin (crouch, kommer)
Rucks: cox, jacobs (daw, gawn)
Fwds: bartel, franklin, lecras, kennedy, rockliff, neade (rowe, mayes)

20 trades left and 2k in the bank.

to be honest i would do with this -  (or nothing)

neade to a rook if you can find one worth having - simply for cash you need to bring in nicnat next week or the week after.

AND OR

wines to a rook if you can find one worth having - simply for cash you need to bring in nicnat next week or the week after.

it may be watson cotchin or nicnat or birchall you want to bring in next week or the week after, i am sure you would love all of them, but without cash you cannot have any.

neade is done and so is wines, wines wont drop much so it doesnt hurt you to keep him.

but you need cash for upgrades, and the best upgrades when possible is to bargain priced premiums like the 4 i mentioned.

if you cant do it pay full price later they are still worth it, but such a bonus if you can get them as they bottom out.

WHAT I WOULD NOT DO IS BRING IN A ROOK THAT IS LIKELY TO FAIL JUST FOR THE CASH NOW AS THE COST WILL BE GREATER THAN WAITING AND BRINGING IN A GOOD ROOK WHO WILL MAKE YOU MORE CASH THAN THE CASH YOU SAVE GETTING THESE PREMIUMS IN CHEAP......

IF that makes sense ?

let me know if you need a hand with knowing any of the rooks breakevens

Thanks heaps for that!

So i could downgrade neade > kennedy and
Wines > lonergan?

[Guns1989]

So i did those 2 trades and i now have 401k! Next week i could go omeara to watson and then trade lecras for nic nat

[HotTiges]

i'd be cautious on Kennedy.. reckon he will make way soon if not this week

[Colliwobblers]

both worry me but both also have potential, all they need is another 4-5 good games but will they get them??

if jed anderson is named on the field for the hawks he might be sub off his hamstring but he should play a lot this season they need his run. a bit dear had a price rise but 150k is still cheap enough and break even is -46

he would be my pick of the mid rooks.

kane mitchell is still an option at his price but he doesnt fill me with confidence either ( only his job security) a full game from him would usually get you a good score i reckon just not sure if he will get full games, seem to like him as the sub.

forwards are harder and all i like fwd is kerridge who is 200k so not much of a downgrade as far as making cash but with walker out he is a lock in the 22 you would think ( not sure pm tbagrocks he will know) and his break even is -56 so while downgrading to him won't make you a lot of cash from neade, kerridge will MAKE you a lot of cash himself....

still this doesnt help the strategy of putting money in the bank for next week or the week after trades.

{ JUST SAW YOUR POST - AND THAT LOOKS GOOD TOO :) }

I would still check teams on jed anderson this round and also have a think / talk to tbagrocks about kerridge ;)

it will be an easier decision for you next week if ball and or beams are named and kennedy dropped, that is my concern for him, 2 pies to 100% come back in so 2 pies have to go out..... beams and ball are not far away.....

and with the depth of midfield ar GCS lonergan has to impress to stay in the side you would think ?

I did anderson and kerridge in for wines and neade and i have 290k in the bank. So enough to get watson for omeara the following week then i would need to do another downgrade.

[Colliwobblers]

yes i like this another downgrade next week (maybe terlich) and you can bring in nicnat the week after. mayes might be ready to go by then and your fwd line will be finished with a cox nicnat DPP ruck link.

thurlow will be on the bubble next week so if he looks great this week and is named next week and terlich has another strong rise which he should.

that should all work out well for you.

terlich will still have a low break even after next week, but even so as his price will shoot up his future rises will slow right down...

[██████████]

Get Dids instead. Not even kidding.

Would it be better doing lecras to nic nat?

[tor01doc]

Watch Anderson - may not get selected.

NicNat will be a couple of weeks away.

Keep bye teams in mind too.

Read the fine print - only players ON the field can score and there will be donuts!!

Colliwobblers i have done this so i can get colquhoun this week and hopefully thurlow next week.

Wines > colquhoun
Neade > Staker (if named otherwise will kennedy if named)

Then Next week go
omeara > watson/josh kennedy and
terlich > thurlow

Then week after lecras > nic nat and
kommer to another premo.

What you think?
