One trade left to do after Rowe to Poulter. Do I go safe and turn Brockman to RCD at M10 or gamble and turn Robertson into De Goey at F6 for a mere $15k? Leaving me with 18 trades left and a slightly better bye structure

Watched the Saints last night with an eye on Higgins, who I've had all season, but only because I've been unable to get rid of him. He'd slowly got some SC form the last 2 weeks with a pair of 80s, so I was hopeful that he'd become a guy I could leave for a while. Turns out he's woeful. For 3 quarters he ran away from the ball whenever it came near him. A little better in the last but missed out on potential points due to teammates stuffing up.

He's high on my list of trade outs.

Sadly playing too deep, which is somehow the problem for all of Lonie, Butler, Higgins and, for the month he spent there, Billings. They just seem to hold their small forwards really deep which is odd given I'd say all of them are better pushing up high and being the guys kicking inside 50 as all are creative ball users.

Yet another week with Injuries. No choice but to hold Houston. Just a ridiculous amount of injuries and 50/50 starting selection all wrong. Its a slow slide down the ladder. So its H2H now the focus.

Want to bring in both RCD and Poulter this week.

RCD for Sharp ....Locked

Poulter for Cripps and build the Bank for the run home. Or Poulter for Waterman.

Thinking Cripps might be rested soon(dropped) and waterman just floats as a loop until he gets a few more games.

Agree with @stephen on this. Not sure you're generating anything really, basically dumping your strongest "rookie" scorer in Cripps who still has a great role and explosive upside even if the premium dream is quite clearly dead, I don't see a lot to gain in that move. It stinks to adjust the view point but he should be looked at as a midpricer at this point somewhere near the bottom of his pricing. He's a guy you ride to his bye.

Sharp has even less to be gained by trading, his DPP actually has more value than that trade, imo. Powell, Campbell, Gulden, Kosi, Rowe, Chapman and Warner should all be going before a sideways trade, imo. Powell especially comes into play given Sharp lets you loop Poulter and RCD to cover for his superior scoring and the upgrade can happen next week so shouldn't be too worse off on field.

I'd give De Goey another week. Beating up the worst team in the league just doesn't give much information.

If he beats up on Rampe and Hewett this week, then it's all systems go.

With absolutely zero confidence ive just locked in:
Out: Tex, Kosi
In: Poulter, Lyons via Laird DPP.
Looping Highmores 47 rather than gambling on Mansell.
VC: Grundy.
I really dislike having to lock things in so early in the round!
