I remember owning him few seasons ago and watching the game. He went off after about 10 mins with dislocated fingers. Was thought he was gone for the game. Think he came back on taped up near 30 mins after going off and went berserk offloading like a maniac

He is the kind of bloke that can score 100 without a try. Can easily have 8 offloads to go with 10 tbs

If he can somehow pull out a 50 average... He makes some nice coin by the time Munster is back.

Can only find one game he played HB no Munster and kicked 67m. CS9 probably biggest beneficiary

Interesting alternative to Croft who I'm not crazy about but the 31k difference could be Lucy>Kapow 1 trade next week

I'm not up there with the gods of this forum so don't take my word for gospel... I might even be trying to convince myself into buying him.

Fair enough mate. My main concern was around holding Twal or not. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get rid of him. Could get young, cleary and teddy if I lose Twal and Lucy. May mull that over.

Been flat out with work and Haven't kept up over the last few days - what's this 4 trades malarkey?

Already asked this in tu/td with an overwhelming majority for DCE - but would you go SJ or DCE? Sharks have a great draw coming up and SJ would be a neat POD moving forward. Too risky?

Also, thinking of giving Cleary a miss this week and going Smith who should benefit most with Munster out... but could be the right thing to go with the crowd and bring Cleary in before he gets out of reach?

CKs team was so broken he asked Harvey Norman for two extra trades this week

Price too awkward? Too much of an unknown (never played at FB at NRL level)? Or everyone just has their WFB sorted by this point in the season?

If you take away his 5 miss tackles, 4 errors and 1 penalty he would have had a solid score!

SJ was getting him but went Cook instead

For eye gouge enthusiasts:

Croker interview states re Bateman: His main focus is getting back on the field in next couple of weeks, or however long it is

Could Bateman be back before Young gains enough cash

Well fuck me. Back to Butcher v Young v Cow

Seems like a pretty off the cuff comment. I was sure Bateman was off for an extended period of time.

Sticky seems pretty pissed off with him as well. He doesn't like being fucked around.

He's the type of man to hold a major grudge I reckon.

Who is the better man to hold? JTB or Rudolph? (Playing in 17)

But then again what coach doesn't like winning. He would add so much to that team, especially in this new format.

Even if averages are close I would take the starting FRF any day of the week.

Oh yeah for sure. I don't know, I'll stick with Young. if I went Butcher it means I'd have to go Ponga instead of Ted.

He needs Bateman more than Bateman needs him.

There's no way I get Ted this week anyways (already own Ponga). Cleary my only gun coming in this week, which feels a little shit considering it’s a 4 trade week. I think I am using this week as a cash grab and save 1 trade rather than a gun up. Should equip me with the cash to grab Teddy over the coming fortnight. I know Taupau will be cheap next week but I just feel like I would be cutting myself short if I ended up with him. I would rather Klemmer/Twal to end the year. I need to grab some different players if I am going to cut into the Top 100.

Cleary this week is a given and Tedesco in the next fortnight also but I think the rest of my incoming players need to be different.
