I started without him and fell behind but I’m hoping to make up ground with saved trades. I’m not ruling out bringing him in after origin. Yes, he gave owners a good start but he hasn’t made a huge difference because of his unavailability.

If rules don't change, I think  next year I will aim for a little more towards a more rounded 21 to start rather than a bunch of risky cows.

Two years in a row that teams are being forced to make a heap of trades on injuries. Not sure if there are more suspensions lately too.. no data on that, but it seems that way with crackdown on head contact/etc. Maybe just the players 'we' own being affected more.

Just being able to field a 17 each week that has some ok scorers in the 14-17 rather than having to force trades all the time is probably understated.

Good point, I will do this next year. Also I will just pick all the guys who are going to average 60

if he scores 40pts a game then its a waste of a trade ?

No question mark about it.

Starling is priced at 38.

if you pay that much for 40 points a week it is a waste for sure.
If you buy Starling its because you think he'll score at least 50+ (and hoping for 60s) until at least r18.
If he does maintain a 60+ average you can keep him for the rest of the season.

Its entirely possible, under current ruck rules from 8 starts in hooker he averages 61 in a bit over 72 minutes.
His average playing 40-60 minutes is 41 which just isn't enough to bring him in.


But if Hodgson comes back to any sort of serious role at all then you have likely wasted a trade.

I can see how this one is going to go for me.
