Hartlett > Malceski?

[jfitty]

Hey lads,

I've been working on what to do with my sad mess of a team this week. Earlier on I was considering downgrading Maric to McBean, moving Nicholls to a permanent R2 and trading in Malceski for Thurlow (Hartlett moves to mid/back bench cover).

However I'm now considering a plain old straight swap of Hartlett to Malceski. I'm desperate to win a few of my leagues this week, and not sure I can rely on Hartlett any longer.

My backs are currently:

Goddard Gibbs Shaw Hanley Duffield HARTLETT (Thurlow Clisby)

Would you pull the trigger on him? Trades are not a problem for me at this point as I need to get the W this week!

Just added a poll :)

If trades aren't an issue then I reckon it's worth the gamble

Might leave it for tonight and think more tomorrow!

yes if trades are not an issue i would do it, got to make the strongest team you can simple as that.

but if low on trades you may have other upgrades to take care of first?

and you may want to hold some for injuries...

Just going to hang onto Hartless. His next 3 weeks are actually pretty good, and there's every chance he may score just as well as Malceski anyway.

Doing an upgrade in my mids instead, then keeping a handy trade in the bank for an injury

[roo boys!]

I'd consider it, but as you said Hartlett's run is pretty decent so HOPEFULLY could get some decent scores for us.

I'd be tempted to do the trades if trades are no issue in your words. Nice to have more reliable option down back.
