Thomson Dow had a game high 29 CBAs. He might be one we later regret not having taken. So hard to see many picking him though, at 199k and with Martin this week too. And with none of the popular cows really ready for culling. Mead is another I wonder about? Has had one price rise, but only small due to being sub r2. 18 poss, 8 cp and a few clearances off a wing (+ a few CBAs) in a showdown impressed me. So you'd think he's not the sub again for a bit.
My strat this year is to use the extra trades for cycling through more rookies, a bit earlier/quicker than usual, to try to generate more cash total. And just risk not needing them for covid outs, or having made more points with this strat to make up for it. The hope would be HnS protocol outs are usually just the one week too. An example could be cashing in Rachele/Berry now (who definitely have a bunch more money to make) to a Mead/Dow. Other years I wouldn't dream of that.
I already have Martin. have 145k and wanna at least try this aggro strat. So I'm considering A) Rachele to Mead, Berry to Green or B) Rachele to Gollant, Berry to English. Am I crrrrazy?
