In all seriousness, and I say this with the upmost sincerity, because it benefits me that good teams have value in their reserves.

While there's definitely truth to that contending teams don't need value in their reserves, I believe other managers often try and pray on guys with good reserves sides is part of an elaborate tactic to get the manager to trade out their reserves somewhat cheaply to marginally improve their best 22.

Case and point: As Brisbane's manager in the early days, I would often tell Terry the same thing about his reserves (and then proceed to offer him a marginal upgrade to his 22, for a major upgrade to my list). I don't think i'm the only one, but Terry could confirm if others have used similar tactics.

Happens a bit.

As soon as a player is not in your best 22 their value seems to go down with other coaches. I had Sam Mayes out of my best 22 at the start of the season and every coach was after him thinking he would be really cheap because he was not in my best 22.

It's an issue of having quality in your reservers, other coaches think they are all going cheap

Or maybe other coaches may think that you actually want to improve your best 22 Terry?
