Just Clark to Jones at this stage. Leaves me with 179k which isn’t enough to upgrade unless I’m willing to sell one of Gulden/Warner.

Any other Cripps owners considering the ‘upgrade’ to Walsh for just 65k? I have Taranto in my midfield as well who’s been infuriating to own. His disposal is absolutely putrid. Any thoughts on which of the two should be binned? Feel like I may never make an upgrade...

Clark > Jones will happen

Tempted to go Taranto > Andy Brayshaw, but I think it's too sideways and I just need to back Taranto in. Might grab McCreery instead

Anyone got an "eye test" opinion on Atu Bosenavulagi? He's only a 1 week rookie, but I'd be looking for a forward this week rather than next, and his more mature age + 72 this week + the fact he plays for North who traded for him appeals a little over McCreery's pair of 50s even though McCreery is on the bubble.

I just have no idea if he can actually play?!?

Trying to decide whether to double down this week or upgrade to Neale.

1. 2 of gulden/campbell/Berry to Jones and Treacy

2. Phillips and 1 Sydney rook/Berry to Jones and Neale

3. Campbell and Warner to Jones and Neale

Option 3 seems the weakest, and the only way it makes more sense than option 2 is if Phillips somehow regenerates his scoring to keeper levels which is unlikely.

I like the appeal of taking treacy with a longer term view to sitting him at R3 and Marshall in fwds. Given his scoring though, it doesn't seem critical to take him this week especially if there's a way to get Neale on the table.

Anyone have a view on Treacey? Tempted to take a 102k R/F who gets some games, it's not as if Flynn at R3 is playing a lot...

Ive had Treacey since the start and am regretting it for a couple of reasons

- Getting games ruins him as the sunday afternoon fix all captain's loop.

- He's not scoring at any rate to generate cash to make up for that.

- The other R/F options have been downright horrible. I started with Ladhams and had to trade him out. Marshall hasn't played or scored either. And there really isn't any depth at that R/F position who I currently feel comfortable playing on field.

I could see it working for someone else once Marshall or someone else comes good, but I'm just hoping he eeks out 70k and I can trade him to a debuting ruck in the second half of the season who then serves as back up.

I want Macrae as the obvious premo I'm missing with only a 100 BE, but I'm a touch short on cash.

Not sure whether I hold for a week to see if rookies manage to catch up, or if I grab a more discounted option.

Will have to catch the numbers to see if the first option is even feasible.

I might bring in Lachie Jones anyway, he seems a more promising option than others.
