1st - cherry popped!

Why would people be selling Latrell?

He is still averaging 40.8 at fullback since lockdown and is a quality player.

40 points is enough to be a keeper at centre and if he was to be traded I don't think many centres will average much higher to be worth the trade.

Only 6 centres this year have averaged more than 40.8

The highest is Ikuvalu who isn't even in the Roosters top 17 and won't score 5 tries every week
The next highest is Lomax who is actually scoring well and is a keeper
Then it's Capewell who isn't playing until Round 17
The next highest is Mata'utia who's now on the bench and won't score as high
Then it's Staggs who is still injured
And the only other centre above 40.8 is Best who people are selling anyways

Posting for new thread:

Me on the other hand needs Hunt. With Wakeham out (and I don't really want him anyway) I absolutely need a half. I have DCE and the only other halves I want are Moses who is unavailable, Cleary who is too expensive and Hunt.

The only way I can get the funds for Hunt is Young to someone 395k or less (yep 1k short of Havili). Chances are though said player would only need to be in the 17 until Crichton peaks and hopefully I'd then have enough to maybe go Crichton to Thompson/Taupau. And then this 395k player would become my 18th man, therefore said player would ideally be a back, either a HLF or CEN/WFB, ideally boom bust, ideally good job security, ideally plays early in the round frequently.

My short list: Dugan, Rapana, Maubs, Clune, Walters, JAC, Fermor, Moga, Starling, Hetherington, Dunn, Fermor

Leaning towards, JAC, Dugan, Rapana.

Because some people only look at the player and his last 2/3 scores. But its been done to death on here and sometimes you have to let people get on with it.

I'm guessing you don't have him in your team? Useless, lazy, over-priced prick. At the same time we have seen Niu cement his spot at fullback and scoring decently, as well as Crichton scoring well now, SMat looks back from injury. I can spend $505k elsewhere and not need to be wishing Mitchell to do something useful all the time to justify his place, after coming back from suspension.

Some players aren't worth the mental anguish of having him in your team, Mitchell is up there alongside Martin "must get more minutes with AFB out" Taupau.

Stephen Crichton averages 40.1 when starting CTR

I don't own Latrell, but taking community team as example, could play Crichton/Niu and potentially lose 5 points max on average (with potential to gain with Panthers upcoming fixtures & Niu coming into his own at FB) and then gain 10-15 points on another position by going for a cheaper gun in another position

"So he’s the first to be selected there after those two. Do you think he’ll just keep being named in the centres until an injury? Also how is Hipgrave is lucky to be on the field all season?"

Hipgrave had 3 concussions last season, had to get special medical clearance to play this season. I expect Fermor to play centers, unless one of the 2RF roles opens up, then its his.

That Latrell v Teddy bet is looking good

Knight > Havili seems a no brainer for me this weekend.

Not for me

Do you fellas think Luai to Havili is a wasted trade? Other trade is Best to Bunt

I'd go Rapana from that lot. Simonsson now gone for the season so job security is good. Previous fantasy pedigree as one of the few wingers capable of a 50 average

as someone that has and will keep Latrell, good lord this is hilarious, especially the bold, people were saying that to you a month ago and you decided to be the champion of why he's a changed man and a can't-miss fantasy gun...

I doubt 2020 Rapana in that Raiders team gets close to 50 average. Not the same player that he was and neither is the team.

Looks a shell of his former self, but a purple patch could see some monsters

Yes, he had a couple of games where he was heavily involved, was doing lots of running from the back, then totally stopped. Went from 10 TBs a game running the ball back, to not running the ball back.

He doesn't need to though, for my 18th man he just needs to put up good scores now and then and keep his job.
