So after we all brought him in he has re-broke the ribs, just been confirmed he will miss 4. do we think we trade even though he is still at bargain price? I think if your playing for league only its a hold. That little rank number is making me want to hit that trade button though! Carrying a premium 0 though byes just cant be done if you want to hold/rise in ranks through them. #supercoachusedtobemorefun

I'm leaning towards hold, if he misses this week and then his bye that's 3 weeks recovery time right there, and he's already shown that he's more than willing to come back early and play through pain (unlike a certain bald headed bloke)

Have they just learnt a lesson though by him returning early? Brisbanes season will be well and truely over by then (probably) so I doubt they will take any risks with him this time around. Will cost around 150 points through bye you would think as difference of another prem to your lowest scoring rookie (110 for prem 40 for lowest rookie) at the moment im in terrible rank of 9000, but seen that 150 points is difference to being in top 5000, could be a big call! Iv been conservative with trades so think il move on as im struggling and letting done those in supercoachQQ

If you've been conservative up to now then go nuts over the byes. Being top 10k and having trades to play with means you can really make a move over those 3 weeks especially if you've structured up well for the different weeks.

I have set up for byes (maybe even more then i should of) pretty good, should be able to field atleast 19 a week if i trade rockliff, sloane could be a nice in. Bargain for bargain

I think I just have to hold, 19 trades isn't terrible but it's not great too & I'm eyeing off Pendles and Watson in R13, I'm probably focusing on league really being 23k deep overall.

Also worry rocky scores rubbish for a few weeks like when he last came back. He wasn't tackling I think. Gonna wait until byes and if any other injuries or omissions will help decide hold or trade.

Will hold for now, round 12 will be tough if he doesn't get up but will wait and see.

Rocky now listed 4-6. Guys on the podcast leaning towards trading. Thinking I'm in agreement. Just going to be too hard to carry a non scoring premium through all the byes. Just can't help but think he could be a sneaky return after R11 bye though!

Had thought about a quick cash grab to Wallis but dismissed it pretty early thinking that I was nuts. Then I listened to the podcast. Dammit.

With a 4-6 week injury that he has already re-injured and heading into the byes I think there are a lot of reasons to be trading Rocky out this week. I really dont want to be dealing with Rocky in round 12 when i have a number of other trades that I would like to make.

I agree that we were probably more pro-Wallis than would be expected. Make of that what you will.

Is very sound reasoning,

Rocky to Wines is probably winning for me, I'm far from convinced though.

The podcast has probably convinced me to ditch Rocky, but I'm now thinking Rocky to Sloane, even if I have to wait a week and play Cripps this round. Bye structure stays the same, and I just can't bring myself to get Wallis knowing I will have to use another trade to upgrade him later. I'm kinda low on trades though (17) with a few upgrades planned through the byes, so I can understand others getting on him if you've been a bit more conservative.

I got 18 trades left and I just brought him in soooo im gonna hold. Pain me to bring in a bloke then dump him the next week. If he is missing bye rounds I can cover as its only top 18 players scoring each week.
