What are your thoughts on Arey. Or would you still prefer dce

Reynolds averages 54.4 excluding his injury game

Arey is also  considered to be injury-prone
Reynolds has missed 24/196 games = 12.2%
By comparison, DCE has missed 15/221 = 6.8%

In the previous 5 seasons Reynolds has averaged (most recent first) 50, 45, 49, 52, 55
In the same 5 years DCE. has averaged (most recent first) 55, 49, 50, 56, 50

DCE has outscored Reynolds in 4 out of the last 5 seasons. 

DCE seems the safer option imo but if you believe Reynolds can stay on the field and Souths go on a good run (lots of goals for Reynolds) then Arey might be a good option.

With SJ probably not looking like a long term injury, I'm probably going to have to go through with Mann out to nuffie and Robson up to Munster barring him being rested of course. 1 trade left but otherwise there's only one other way to get my final gun and that's to sell CNK.

I've tried to sell CNK twice before and ended up reversing it twice. The first time I reversed I got 12 points but I think Ponga or Teddy was a late out and those 12 points were better than nothing. The second time I tried selling him for RTS but again reversed it for a late out and got 59 points.

I think I'll take a quality 18th man over Robson and Mann. The former is probably out when Graham returns and Mann has kind of been a spud. I mean when you're down to 2 trades anyway you're probably not going to use them to cover 1-2 week injuries anyway so I might as well go for better cover.

When does Clearly go big. Like 80+

Pussys for closers and Cleary unfortunately is a 50-60 pt player.

Dce is the dominant half and will score like moses maybe even better with TTrbo gifting him points

I'm sure everyone remembers round 19 in 2017 when Cleary did a monster score of 126

Depends what you want. If you want consistent 50-60 grab cleary and pay more.

Alternatively, get Dce at a lower price, most likely lower again next week and get the 57 pt average with the odd whopper

Wow all this half talk is making me second guess Arey over DCE!! DCE can still pick up good scores plus surely Turbo only helps him with the roll on! Arey gets bulk kick metres and kicks 3-4 goals a game. Going to be mulling over this all week

57 without goal kicking?

I’d be taking dce every single day if I had the money, then Moses.

53 without goal kicking... Still better than Cleary

I think it’s lower without goal kickimg.

I think I’ll take DCE. Has the ability to go 60+ and even hit 100. Floor shouldn’t be too bad even without goal kicking. Plus who knows what will happen as soong as Garrick is hurt DCE takes it back.

Wont be burnt again

I really want Moses but can't get him in unless I wait until Fainu and Tevaga cap out, he looks to be a must-have, and better than DCE considering he has GK and DCE doesn't.

In round 13,14 and 15 when DCE came back from injury with Tommy Turbo there he scored 45, 36, 42. Round 17 without Turbo he scored 72. Going by the past month stats he scores better without Turbo. Maybe Turbo will take all his points away and get the big points instead.

Milford and SJ are my halves with Ponga to help out in a pinch, CNK will help out at WFB if Ponga is in HLFs
Do I ideally need one more half so I don't rely on Ponga??

He also said he didn’t come back at 100%, hadn’t actually completed a full week of training until the week before origin. Reckons he is back to 100% now so that could explain it.

Haven't you got three trades? I would hold and only break glass in case of emergency. Who's your wfb back up again? If you are happy to play them in a pinch, then sit on the trade or use it else where

Edit : the cnk thing may be a clue as to your back up If you are holding him definitely don't worry about another half unless your heart is set on it and it's the best points option for your team

I have never heard a commentator pronounce Nofoaluma's name right.

1 - No
2 - Fo
3 - a
4 - Lu
5 - Ma

Everytime they say Noah-4-loomer. 1, 3, 2, 4, 5.
I can understand misprouncing a name because of how language differs but they just choose to switch the syllables around for fun.

ABC radio try to get these things right and are pretty good at it.

True. I'm sure now Origin has passed he will go well for anyone who jumps on.

Yeah I’m sure he will. If I go DCE I need Watson to go well again this week so I can grab a good 18th man next week. If I go Arey I can grab a good 18th man this week.
