What if I could use him to get Gawn in a single trade?
I say if you can get Gawn in one trade using Hewett, it's a yes from me (especially if if gets SHayes of field 😃
Why? Hewett likely out for one game.

I am weighing up Stewart vs Gawn combined with Parker this week. Feels like back up to Gawn is English if fielding Hayes and he doesn't do well. Thoughts?

ITB = $61k, 25 trades & 3 boosts

Little bit stumped one what to do this week, the obvious gap in the side is Crippa
Not sure how to go about the trades, i'm seeking some advice
If i trade Daicos to allow Cripps this week because of his very low BE if i dont get him this week ill be paying up a fair bit in the future
Thoughts will be greatly appreciated cheers!
Probably need to go :-

Stephens - > McComb
Daicos - > Cripps

then see how Carroll , Hamilton & Rioli fare in their second game and if you move your 2 Bench Hawks guys on to them (or Clark) and start building some Bank

Taranto might be a F option in a few rounds under $ 500k

26 trades left, 3 boosts , $73k ITB
I have..
3/6 Def Prem spots filled
7/8 Mid prem spots filled
Ruck line done IMO, English and Preuss for the home stretch

Dunks, Brodie, Cogs, Butters, Xerri and Martin in the fwd line, which makes it hard to determine which will be keepers and which wont

I still have J hayes, Dixon, Ward, McDonald as rookies that are ready or almost ready to be traded
Notbsure what to do with Xerri at the moment as i have a feeling he wont get his role back when he returns

Any ideas on what to do this week?

So far my thoughts are
-Double down (e.g Hayes, Mcdonald> McComb/Curtis)
-Single trade
Or
1 up 1 down

If J Hayes is on your forward bench - > Curtis

Does that then get Xerri - > Parker ?

Good point, guess it just comes down to McComb vs Curtis as i can get either using McDonalds dpp
Up to you , I am biased as I am bringing in both Curtis & Parker this round.

I guess the other thing to consider is how many of Carroll , Hamilton (DPP) , Rioli (DPP) you might bring in next round then Clark in Round 10 , if Stephens scores well on debut might need room for him as well

Does Hamilton really have much job security?
Amongst the top third for the Giants for tackles and pressure acts on debut is usually a great sign for a rookie. Dual position status will come in handy along with a basement price and the worst case scenario could be beneficial for those without a dedicated dual position loop for the remainder of the season.

Would it be possible to provide your full side to further assist with any recommendations?

Out: J Ward, C Durdin and H Dixon
In: R McComb, C Hamilton and P Cripps (via P McCartin and N Daicos)

Allows you to keep Daicos whilst grabbing Cripps and opening the ability to swing Martin to the fwd line to bench Rosas and field G Clark/C Stephens at M8 instead in the coming rounds. Fwd/def dpp also opens between De Koning and McCartin if need be.

This is something i haven't considered, i don't know much about hamilton, do we know what his JS is like?
I like the swing between SDK and McCartin, i haven't been able to get that going this year so far

Probably need to go :-

Stephens - > McComb
Daicos - > Cripps

then see how Carroll , Hamilton & Rioli fare in their second game and if you move your 2 Bench Hawks guys on to them (or Clark) and start building some Bank

This was my initial thinking, Im ranked somehwere in the 20k area so maybe trading daicos and going against the grain is what i need, thanks!
