Think this upcoming round will be very interesting for trades, at first glance my plans were how to fit in Trez/DJ for back to back DGR, or Bolden/Waardenberg for 3 DGR’s in next 4, but looking at the fixture really feels like round 5 will be super important. Think most sides will be benching 2/3 of Cooks/Adams/Oliver/Leaupepe for next weeks DGR, and with United/JackJumpers double this week, plus SEM/ILLA > 36ERS/CAIRNS trades to field 6/7+ DGR a week over the following two.
Given Magnay/Doyles current low ownership and assuming that no good sides plan to carry any NZB through back to back byes, am keen to hear any else’s thoughts on how they’ll handle round 5. Magnay enters R3 double carrying last weeks 56, and could easily be 350/60k next week, PJC will enter week 5 with a 50 in his price cycle, and will be set to play 14/19 DGR from there.
Seems to me that barring writing off a trade boost, teams loading up rd 3 on extra Henshall/Pepper/Bolden types may snag 50/100 extra points this week only to give it all back and more to sides ready for R5.
Still completely undecided myself, won’t be till about 10 mins pre deadline Thursday, just food for thought.
