Ok experts. When do I start trading some of these cash cows.
I have Wines, Omeara, Crouch, Viney, neade, pittard, goodes all going up in price, yet I am 0/2 in Hogg iv and 1/2 in the Bunny Bowl and am not happy.
Thought I was doing the right thing, yet am still spudding it up.

My 2375 in the first round is but a distant memory.

I let the ship sail on that one. Might be the only thing I've got right so far.

Can still make finals from this start. Try not to cash in those rookies for under $200K profit.

I started 0-6 a couple of seasons ago and still made finals. (Reb?)

Out of that lot of rookies, viney would be the one to burn.

Dare say I was 2wins and 4 losses early last year, may have even got to 3wins and 5losses.
Season aint over yet mate, Dont burn trades you may need near the pointy end.
If all else fails, trade like crazy and try to avoid relagation!!!

If one of Hill, O'meara, Stevens or Whitfield is rested or dropped which is likely I could be looking a doughnut already
Supercoach needs Mulligans :(

Varcoe = Mulligan
Crouch = Mulligan
H.Shaw = Mulligan
K.Mitchell = Mulligan
Smedts = Mulligan

I think you are looking at the wrong end. Are your scores competitive?

Do you have some Mids/Guns not performing?
A couple of tweaks now could mean 100 points a round for the rest of the year.
Heck, I have made four of those, as I think I have the rookies right like you.
It's called scrambling to become competitive.

Sage advice, and I have taken it.

Do I give Shaw the flick today and go Birchall or do I stick with him as a permanent and hope he finds some form and save a trade ?

I've had Birchall since the outset, and thank christ I did.
I would take him over Shaw if it was me.
