Calvin and Warnie must trade out Clayton Oliver this week. It has been dubbed the easiest trade of the year … Oliver to Connor Rozee. It costs just $15,000 to make that move. Last week it would've made money and gained an extra 89 points.
Lock and load.
Trading this week will be about trying to consolidate a best 22 with a look to having no rookies on field. But rookies will be important. With a non-existent back bench, Arie Schoenmaker and Logan Evans could be emergency defenders for the next few weeks.
Roy, Calvin and Warnie reveal their trades, your questions are answered and plenty of other tips are given ahead of round 16.
