Proposed Trades - Your opinion

[thebod]

My Team:
Backs: Gilbee, Bock, C.Jones, Cornes, X.Clarke, Kosi, Birchall (Ellis, Hansen)
Centres: Judd, Rodan, Embley, Griffen, Deledio, Ball (Lappin, Armitage)
Rucks: Sandilands, Hudson (Cloke, Renouf)
Forwards: Hall, Tarrant, J.Brown, Monfries, J.Kennedy, D.Thomas, Akermanis (A.Davey, Edwards)

Proposed Trades: ($1700 in Bank) Hall for G.Ablett, Kerr for Ball (gives $135500 in Bank) then next week Akermanis for Lynch (giving more in Bank)
Theory: Kerr, Ablett going up, get them now, Halls price if he plays will go down and Akermanis not playing wont change.

Option: Akermanis for G.Ablett, Kerr for Ball, hold Hall (gives $11900 in Bank)

Option: Your idea's ???

If it helps i will probably get Kerr and out Johnson from Richmond and swap Tambling for Gibbs...
Leaves me with about $76k in the bank

Will look like this:

Backs: J.Bowden, Croad, C.Cornes, Kosi, Hunter, Rains, Chick, (Ellis, Hansen)
Centers: Judd, Kerr, Cross, Roden, B.Johnson, Cooney, (Gibbs,Grigg)
Rucks: Ottens, Ryder, (Gardiner, knobel)
Forwards: Pavlich, Chapman, Fevola, Monfries, Franklin, Kennedy, Cloke (Davey, Krakouer)

First year in SC, thinking I'm looking a little thin in the forward line.
Would love some opinions and ideas?

Good moves on the Centres - looks pretty impressive now (Havn't heard of Grigg though)
My opinion would be to consider dumping Chick (not a great points scorer) and get rid of one or both substitute rucks (too much money tied up and Knobel probably won't play too much as well as Gardiner being injury prone) that would free up a fair bit of money but does use a few trades.

Cheers mate sounds good. Only having 2 trades a week is going to hurt, do you think it is worth getting better ruck's? My thoughts were go cheap on ruck's and leave them because they don't score very high and the money would be better on big scoring forwards..

Knobel is out with some injury supposedly! Get rid of him now I would think!
