Welcome back to the TEAM for another week! Where anyone and everyone can shape the TEAM to their liking……….
ROUND EIGHTEEN SUMMARY
Not the worst score considering we held trades last week. Still managed to win half of our League games (and our Leagues are extremely competitive looking at the Overall Rankings). Unfortunately we dropped a touch in the rankings but I’m quite confident in a late season surge given the four trades we still have in hand.
CURRENT LINE-UP
Harris Andrews is out for a week, leaving us with a donut in DEF if we don’t make some sort of moves. I haven’t got anything planned yet but I’ll enter into comments when it is ready to go.
If you have any trade suggestions, just enter them into the comments section. It will assessed by the Coaching Staff using the Thumbs UP/DOWN function. Fire away, Coaches!
**UPDATE at 9pm on 25/7/19**
Need your help, Coaches! Looks like the most popular option this week is to downgrade Brett Bewley (FRE) and upgrade Harris Andrews (BRL) to cover his donut and bring in a premium…………
Best downgrade option?
Best DEF Premium from Andrews to ………….?
And our choice of Captain this week?
Thank you, Coaches!!

Clarke to langlang Andrews to Whitfield?
Clarke/Andrews to cheap rookie and Ryan or Houli?
Saints H.Clark averaging mid 90’s past 4 rounds another decent option at less than $400K
Not sure why maybe because Allsaints keeps bringing him up but I actually think Hunter Clark could be the answer we save a trade & he should average 90-95 from here
OUT – Andrews, Bewley
IN – K. Dunkley/102k Rookie, Whitfield
Could even bring in Ryan as a cheaper option for other upgrades
Ryan is the man…can we afford whitfield to break down again ??
Not sure if a broken collarbone falls under ‘breaking down’ does it?
Reoccurring hammies, calves etc are a worry but breaking something is just unlucky….unless he refuses to drink milk for brekky.
Fair enough, but I just look at injury history…its like getting a lucky birdie at golf…the scorecard never shows the “how”.
What about this,
I know it’s probably a bit too extreme but it could fill our prems (kinda) a bit, and build the bank a bit while the finals approach,
Andrews -> Clark and……………Gray -> Rockliff
Crawls under doona and pulls it up…nooooooooooooooo not one of the most unreliable sc players of all time, and pre finals !!
Hmmm, I think I get the picture………..and it scared me LOL Point taken LML……..but I am concerned about Gray going backwards, unless having no Ollie changes his role.
Not sure how the poll came up as Clarke out?? For me I would be dropping Bewley before Clarke? Alza’s post had 18 votes for Bewley out???
Bewley down to whichever rook provides best dollars and either Whitfield as a ‘risky’ points option or as Wighty suggested, Ryan which frees up cash for other possible trades / upgrades ..
An option could be
Out: B Bewley, H Andrews,
In: K Dunkley/basement rookie, L Ryan
Roughly 90,000 to 100,000 left
2 trades left
Then potentially if funds permit
Out: M Chol
In: T Hawkins
If we need money get rid of Gray.
We still have the extra DPP in the mid.
We also don’t and won’t have DEF backup.
Get H Clark for def. for Andrews.
Move D Clarke off bench for a week for cheap DPP def/mid as emergency.
Then assess again for finals with trades.
There’s no option to vote for Ryan in the backline
That’s ok, we have Tarrant to choose from…
