Any thoughts on the Flynn to be rested rumours?
Do you have a source ?
Only place I've seen it is from a random comment on the SC Chat from The Phantom and HS Guys. No further info floating around that I can see.

Though you would have to think he's a chance for a rest a some stage with Mummy coming into play a game and give the young kid a week off, and playing Grundy this week might be that week.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but do people believe Chapman is a must-have rookie for DEF? And is he worth bringing in for anyone other than an injury replacement (i.e.: Kosi)?

I see a lot of people downgrading Young to Chapman, which makes sense, but I had the cash to upgrade him to a premium, so this would be a 2nd trade. Tossing up between:

- Kosi to Chapman
- Neale to Steele
- No 2nd trade

Couldn't afford to trade Neale last week, but really want to now, but not sure if Chapman is more important.

Thoughts?

Do you have Laird? If so could do Neale -> Chapman this week, hold the cash and then look at some upgrades next week?

Personally I think Chapman is only a must-have if you have the Highmore, Kosi & Sharp D6-D8 combination and don't have the money to upgrade out of that situation.

That was my thought also, but don't have to worry about Sharp (L. Young @ D6). Although rumours of Young being dropped are now giving me second thoughts. Cheers.

Seems about as reliable as the rumour that Sharp will play because he's from Ballarat.
