Right lads got an intersting one for you.

3 trades left and plan on using 2 this week. Initially planned to go up to Dunkley/Marshall to replace Darcy Moore but Im starting to look at the alternatives.

Can go Moore - Hawkins and hope hes turned the corner which would allow me to go Rocky - Bont. Leaves me with Logue, Clark, Setterfield cover.
The Dunkley route leaves me with Logue Hill & Setterfield as cover.
Third option is just Moore - Daniel but leaves me without both Dunkley & Marshall for finals.

Is the Hawkins route just replacing one ugly duckling with another? I feel like Hawkins is more likely to post some big scores over the next few weeks in comparison to Rocky.

Boils down to who scores more points over the next month, Rocky & Dunkley or Bont & Hawkins?

2 trades left if no injuries strike should I move Clarke and Logue to Snelling and Whitfield?

Completed team would look like this:

Finished 3rd in my league and playing a team who is 2nd with the only different players being

Stewart, Sicily and B.Crouch vs Hurn, Houli & M.Crouch if I do the above trades.

Or Hawkins and Rocky + 1 trade.... I actually think I'd back Marshall to outscore Dunkley...the bloke just scored 125 on Gawn... a season high if I'm not mistaken!!!

As a non-Dunkley/Marshall owner I would strongly advise getting one of them in.

So is one of the options just going Moore to Dunkley/Marshall in the one trade? If so then I’m all over that option.

EDIT: Realised that you cant do that in one trade based on your Moore to Daniel comment but I would still go that route even if it takes two trades.

Tough one. I traded Hawkins in a few weeks back when he bottomed out and he's gone 53, 92, 152 since then so it's been a mixed bag to say the least. I'm sure the stats gurus can provide better info but I think he does have a history of finishing seasons well...over the past couple of years at least.

Good luck whichever way you go.

Yeah if i do go that route it will likely be Marshall that I bring in. Leaves 95k to try and grab a fallen mid once Rocky rides out his next couple of increases.

My biggest concern is that Rocky goes in for a shoulder cleanup once Essnedon nail the coffin shut this week, but im leaning towards grabbing Marshall at the moment.

Though one. You'll lose it without doing it, even then you're a bit behind imo, if you've got the subsequent elim teams covered then perhaps forego this week, if you don't without whitfield, then pull the trigger. If you care for overall pull the trigger. Logue has been a bit disappointing.

An option for your remaining trades could be
Out: D Moore
In: T Hawkins

And if funds permit
Out: O Baker and W Setterfield
In: Basement rookie and Dunkley/Marshall
Cant do it with Baker but its doable with Clark. Its actually not a bad plan mate. Would let me loop Hawk/Rock/Jezza for the remainder of the year assuming Dunkley is the one bought in and reliant on fixture.

Think ill actually have a good look at this option mate, much appreciated.

Yeah had a look at the team. If Ian Hill holds his spot, then Setters and Moore to Marshall. I also don't mind Setters and D Clarke to Marshall and 102k FD. if Moore is listed. Much better cover than Logue... might not leave much if your concerns about Rocky are fulfilled...

I prefer just Moore to Hawkins/Daniels and hold the extra trade.... but if anyone is worth the double trade, it would be Marshall/Dunkley. I’d rather keep two trades in the bank for carnage rather than one if I could though

Very temped to go Bewley > rookie, Clarke > Duncan.

Would give me a final team of:

Lloyd, Hurn, Williams, Laird, Sicily, Smith (Birchall, Gardner)
Macrae, Fyfe, Cripps, Neale, Treloar, Duncan, Sloane, Crouch (Rockliff, Taylor, rookie)
Gawn, Grundy (Bines)
Marshall, Dunkley, Kelly, Dangerfield, Heeney, Gray (J.Cameron, Young)

But I'll probably hold off another week. Knowing my luck one of the rucks will go down with an injury and it'll be a month of donuts.
