He’s my easiest route to correcting Teddy issue (suggest non Cleary owners in the same boat), but leaves me a Crichton size hole to overcome in a week or 2

I felt Host ran a lot of good lines into gaps on attack but was skip passed. Is that a CWalker trait or are they just still working out the combinations you think?

1 week mate, Roosters took the guilty plea.

Yeah I liked the look of Siro too, but was he defending in the middle just to help Tohu playing big mins? I'm not sure he'll be doing that in a few weeks when match fitness is up.

On one hand keeping an extra trade, knowing I'll have a reasonable EMG MID that might slow burn some cash plays into my thinking at the start of the season.

On the other hand, trading him to Leniu gets me cash generation for the next 2-3 weeks while Lodge is out, and potentially 100-150k in cash (provided Leniu continues with 30-40 mins a game).

I'm not really all that familiar with Leniu as I didn't follow the Panthers that closely last year. I've heard a lot of good things on here about him. Can I get people's thoughts on whether we think Leniu:
a) passes the eye test for ability and longevity
b) has the job security and
c) will continue getting good minutes (30-40) for the next half-season

Cheers fellas

Will Siro, Egan (& Friend of course) be allowed to play after failing HIA with that rule that WT2K posted from Wacko about seeking exemption from neurologist to play within 11 days

Pretty confusing rule, and also they need to go through 6 stage protocol this week

He had a terrible fantasy game, but all 5 missed tackles were either being palmed off by a crabbing Latrell, or tackling someone during tryscoring (which I'm pretty sure counts as a MT). So nothing amazing, but would have scored 18 without the MTs.

I actually thought he looked really big and strong in defence, and despite a few positioning errors (won't play centre with Jennings outside all season), I thought he had a decent game. Trading him out is nowhere near on my radar for now (though I'm keeping an eye on him IRL).

So his career average off the bench is 40pts 40 minutes
When he starts off at prop it is 41 pts 45 minutes

So he is a fairly consistent 40pt player and the fact he starts off with a big score is bonus for picking up now
If he does that for 3 weeks he makes 100k with potential to make another 100k on that

You're selling me on him with that. Plus he's the most expensive player I can afford for Lodge which I'll take as a sign

Snatchpato wrote:Cleary just scored 96 and his breakeven is 59... that's ridiculous haha. I was about to say at least his price won't climb too far over 1 mil... however it probably will, kid's a freak!


I'm resigned to not get Cleary until after Origin tbh. I'd have to destroy my team to get him anytime soon (plus trade out another keeper).
