Would be tempting to go B Crouch to Newman tonight if he is out. I told myself at the start of the year when picking him that I wasn't going to mess around with injuries to injury prone players.

Iv pulled the trigger on 2 trades.
B.Smith >Newman
JRoo>Rocky via Setterfield fwd.

Means Setterfield on field in stead of on the Bench.
Constable on the bench now.
100k in the bank.
If Constable out scores Setterfield by more than 20 points over the journey and Rocky only ends up out scoring JRoo by 20 points (in the first half of the year) it won't have been a very affective trade. Fairly confident this is a good move.
Right now I'm guessing you're feeling relieved to have dodged the JRoo bullet from last night... see how the rest of it plays out

Don’t you guys look at your team every hour?
Often, yeah. Had a work function last night which I had forgotten all about. Ended up mucking up both my trades and C/VC picks, which I was going to confirm once teams were named. My fault entirely, but still annoying.

After everyone was knocking Rocky in the preseason casting doubts on his overall fitness due to his lack of tackles in the JLT... can you believe round 1 he had 8 tackles.... would be a brave person to suggest he's not back...

Whisper of a late out seems to happen most Friday evenings. How often does it actually happen?
The media loves it and it probably delivers plenty of clicks and shares that delivers dollars to the bottom line.
Just call me s cynic.

I think if Brouch is out and likely to be for just the week he stays for me but if it looks like an extended outage JJK comes into my fwds via the magic of DPP as there is not much I would want at the pricepoint.

WARNING: Just remember guys, if you're mucking around and experimenting with possible trades, now that one game has been played - you cannot reverse them. I very nearly just found that out the hard way - again!

Get the pad and pen out. Much safer.

Do I trade out Ridley and Greene?

Doing my head in
Same dilemma. I guess it comes down to how the rest of your team is looking. Either to a missed rookie could help strengthen somewhere else. You would hate to trade them and then both play next week. I am going to try and hold off if I can, but if either miss next week I will pull the trigger.

Yeah, Newman is the way I'd probably go if I was to do that trade. I still want to see another round from him though.
