Champion PODsHow crazy can a desperate Supercoach get?
Given that most overall players are barely scraping 17s together this week and probably only have one or two trades left, the question remains – how outrageous can you go with your last few trades available?
This question boils down to which player(s) can cause the biggest inroads into the teams above you who may either: (a) be out of trades or (b) be playing the more cautious and conservative approach by saving their last trade(s) for the final round.

So just how crazy can we get with these last trades (all rank dependant of course)?
I guess there’s only one way to lay this out for you guys:
Nicho Hynes – If you have the luxury to sell him, then sell him – Paps is back and Hynes will be lucky to score 40s each week from now on.

There’s three main options for mine:
Angus Crichton/Jason Taumalolo – Many will be forced into selling Angus or Lolo as one of their final trades and this dilemma definitely presents itself as opportune or inopportune depending on how well you have planned for these sorts of late injuries.
Who do we sell them to?
There’s three main options for mine:
Reed Mahoney – Straight swap to Harry Grant, simple as that provided you can afford it
