Might go ridley to Hewett. Never really had him, last min in for Lloyd and I forgot until it was too late to tinker again. I think mentally I need Hewett. I have him in AF, DT and UF.

Apart from the obvious I thought these might be considered.
Newcombe and Davies overachieved. McDonald doesn't have to wash his jumper as it didn't get dirty.

McDonald, you would assume guaranteed DPP for round 7.? Thinking of shuffling the pack to get him into the MIDS for round 3.
Looks a keeper for 380K.

I'm trading Berry to LMac this week in the hope I have an underpriced defensive keeper.

Will refrain from boosting next week I think and use my first to get the new defenders into position ahead of Rd 7

This thread strongly suggests there is a very strong correlation between playing SC and severe ADD :LOL:

I still am not sure what players anyone could have to be making trades this week, basically means you've got at least 4 things that need fixing next week!

Yes, that will be my trade next week. Hoping Stephens (swans) can get 70+ this week, allowing me to hide Berry on the bench.

I was thinking Brodie to Martin, Berry to McDonald, then fate intervened and the reverse trade button was used. Might still do it.???

Let’s see what Durdin puts up Thursday.

I’m not sure what to do with the trade boost scenario. To keep it simple, use it if I need that third trade when the time comes.
It comes down to how much you value information. Information or in other words another week to look at roles and points versus a maybe used boost. I put information ahead of everything,

Does Gov work in his new role, Berry’s shoulder look okay, Xerri number one ruck, Brodie fit/Fyfe, Crisp losing points with new game plan, Ridley just ****e now, Whitfield fit and others. And that is just my teams questions not including injury and Covid.

Feel like I need an early shakeup on my defensive line

Lloyd Short Whitfield Sicily Hinge McCartin (Kelly, De Koning on the bench)

Any suggestions or should I just wait to see how a second round of games goes before doing anything major?

I am normally an advocate for holding trades, especially premiums, maybe next week if a correction is needed. If you missed rookies and you want to keep 2 trades up your sleeve for next week I'd pull the trigger there.
However there is huge amount of value this year. And most of the value are players we all talked about pre season. I don't know what move would be optimal without a crystal ball, however if you want to seriously contend for overall I think you have to make a move and be aggressive. Just holding your Prems won't get you 50k.
I'm strongly considering gawn to english, and Steele to Heeney. Which is like trading away 2 aces for a queen/jack. It's not because I think Steele and gawn won't come good and score well, it's the value from the other 2. I pocket 400k and get 2 forward IMO top 6 forwards. Even if Stef comes back I see english going 100-105 this season, bloke looks stronger and fitter. And Heeney looks mint and so fit.
The 400k wouldn't be blown, I'd be conserving it for upgrade time, which means I can bring in who I want and in some ways more importantly trade out the weaker rookies first.
I have all the right rookies and midpricers are fine.
I wouldn't trade til rd5/6 unless I had to after this and I would rather do these trades this week unless something major happens next week and we are forced to trade elsewhere.
