Thanks guys. As it was a personal issue, really hard to tell what's going on but he's my only option as 2nd playing centre so will just have to hope there's confirmation atleast by Saturday

Dont think there is any news tbh mate.

I'm also currently going with Best and HTF. I like the HTF punt more than I like Best, but I need centre cover and ideally wfb cover as well so Best makes the most sense

Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:The base stats for best are swaying me. He’s getting 20 tackles and 150m a week. Means when attacking stats dry up he may be in the Lomax mould with a decent base. I think I’m sold. Worst case he makes 100k and costs me a trade

Hopefully early. Set my trades so I have him on interchange. Got Fotu in and moved Carrigan to 2RF, means I play Talau which fuck it! Come on down big lad! 220RM 2 tries, 12 TBs, 1 LB

Yeah I have been staring and staring at latrell wondering if I should pull the trigger and get him over best

Mann to one of those centres. Drinkwater to 6

Wiliame to 17. Paix (18) leave him there if he scores well. Katoa 19 - move him to 17 after Thu night if Paix shits the bed

Watch for Tolo news. One of Horse or Carrigan should be in the bench to give your forward cover.

Instead of going Mann to Best. You could do something like Mann to Talau to instead give you more money to upgrade Katoa or Friend to Gun prop

Food for thought.

I’ve been settled on a 500k centre but I think rolling the dice on Talau/Averillo and getting an actual gun is starting to win the debate in my head.

2 games mate, tough to know if those base stats are sustainable. A load of them metres came from a few big breaks

My only other obvious trade outs are Levi (has to go), and Wiliame (worthless)

(due to centres dropping like flies) i have to buy a CTR or WFB this week. Levi + cash doesn't afford me Teddy or Ponga.. but it could get me Tommy T, and hold on to a trade.

I'm thinking of burning the 2nd trade though to go a little cheaper (eg Latrell or similar price ctr), but also bring in Jake T (or similar). Levi + Mann out = Latrell + Jake T in

The way I see it Paix can hold down Mann's spot for a few more weeks and looks like scoring to the same ability anyway, but Jake T is a big upgrade (assuming 55 average or potential to go higher with new rules).

Any thoughts?

Small sample size for sure but don’t agree re meters from breaks as he hasn’t made any breaks yet has he? Tries and assists all close to the line plus a kick through that counted as kick meters

It’s best vs hoppa vs Latrell and the uncertainty is high

Its basically a case of playing Mann + Paix (looped with Luai/etc), or Paix + Jake Turbo

Latrell and Jake T in a huge upgrade. Looks like theft infact

I’m thinking of definitely playing JTB and then using Magoulias as a loop with E.Katoa who I’ll see how he scores and then decide if I play Rudolf.

Do we reckon Rudolf outscores Paix?
