    If Hampton is out for any significant amount of time I'm thinking of biting the bullet and bringing Averillo back in. I should have done it last week instead of bringing in Bird, but I think trading him out has blinded me.

    Even ignoring his scores (which are hard to ignore), his role has clearly changed since his "injury" in round 3. His KM have gone way up (base) as Flannos have gone down. His run Meters are much more consistent, adding 4-5 points to his base, and he's still making a decent amount of tackles. With tackles, run metres and kick metres alone, his base is 36 (in the last 4 rounds). Add on the upside of his running game getting TBs, his kicking game getting TAs, and all the added extras, he's hard to overlook even if he doesn't play round 13.

    Much more expensive now but in a vacuum it might be the right play.

    What do we put this down to, the same players being talked about so teams are fairly similar and we haven't really nailed it this year ?

    I think it's to do with the kind of players that have excelled early days. Papali'i, Mahoney, Latrell, Frizell, Barnett all felt like flash in the pan that got lucky with a few lucky attacking stats early. More casual players would have grabbed these guys after 1-2 rounds (he scored 100 in round 1 it's guaranteed the rest of the year). Throw in a few uber guns like Crichton, Cook, Teddy under performing relative to these guys and you are in trouble.

    Balance will be restored a little in the bye rounds, but unless you started with all 3 of Papy, Fifita, Cleary your season was dead in the water

    Stefano + Alvaro to Curan + TPJ is solid right? I feel like both players are an upgrade, just not convinced it’s the best move. TPJ and Curran’s ongoing scores are far from guaranteed.

    Option 2. Just hold trades. Only Banked 4 so far.

    I didn't get Papy which gave me a slow start to the season, but jumping on Mahoney and Ipap reasonably quick has put me back on track. I'm sitting in the 4000s atm and will get into the top 1000 in rd13 for sure. But I'm far behind the top 10. Some of those top teams have been scoring 1000+ points almost every round, it's hard to keep up with that

    I agree, a lot of the top teams seemed to have jumped on those outlier players, that didn’t conform to the group think around here. It’s one of the things I find funny reading done comments around here, if you propose a player that’s left field, depending on how the first few people reacts it will sway the entire group.

    Surely a lot of the top teams have smashed the trades. With the amount of quality players/value in the teams. I suspect that many will drop off as those who have banked trades can make a move, In saying that, it seems like a lot around here aren’t saving many

    I had trell over pappy so didn’t hurt to much. What did hurt was buying pappy two weeks ago.

    Back in the office after another public holiday (probably explains lack of Broncos training updates)..

    My biggest mistake was starting without cleary and having to find cash to bring him in rnd4. Starting with lam and lodge, selling croker for sironen in rnd 2.

    What I did do right
    Kept averillo
    Started with townsend, papy and fifita.
    Bought ipap in rnd 6

    The Mayor is opposed to bringing him back in on principle. Can't look at his mugshot without getting dirty about his 22.3 average tuning into a 39.4 ave on a dime. He almost makes me angrier than looking at James Roberts.

    The Mayor neither forgives, nor forgets.
