I disagree. Jamie Ainscough won one for the Storm

Under 500k if he gets the minutes he might be half a chance at a averaging over 50 this year. Graham out now too, so might find himself picking up some more minutes if the new edge doesn't play 80. 

Really though I mostly wanna froth the blokes in my team

Is it time to rethink your/our opposition to an avocado trade in?

I am acutely aware that bringing him in now appears, on the surface, to be a massive knee jerk reaction to the guy that just scored two tries. However, he's been kicking for 500+ kick metres. He's dominating the playmaking. He's doing the goal kicking. That's MS gold right there. MS 101 if you will. Not even mentioning he's available at centre.

In my mind, selling one of my of my three overpriced centres to Averillo would be a 5-10 point per week upgrade, and gives me another bye round player. The only argument for not bringing him in that I can think of is that, if pretty much any other half comes in for Wakeham, we're fucked. I won't have the trades to fix it. Not an easy decision by any stretch.

If Walsh is in the halves and RTS at FB who is the next winger to come in?

Kosi, Aitken, Montoya and ??? doesn’t sound too threatening.

Who knows I’m no coach

I love Rudolf, but he "misses" loads of tackles with quick-out-of-the-line plays that are fine with fans and coaches but not so great with stats compilers. There'll be weeks where he scores in the 20s from 60 minutes a la JWH.

I have this terrible habit of death riding people all season. I death rided Bateman all year in his breakout,

Mulvy wrote:

Haha, me too, at the start at least. Got him in when he came back from injury. If Bateman was available at centre playing 80 on the edge right now, no one would think twice about trading him in. Averillo looks set to rival Bateman scores if Wakeham remains his halves partner. I don't really feel comfortable about though, so I really want someone to talk me out of it.

Who would you trade him in for?

Mulvy wrote:

Well, I really can't envisage having four centres in my team, although an argument could be made for it, given that currently none of them having been playing centre. Burton been playing half and may get further opportunities to do so again, Bird been playing second row, and Peachey been playing middle. Averillo playing dominant half.

But realistically, it would be one of Burton, Bird, Peachey.

It's a tough one for sure. He ticks a lot of boxes for sure dominating the kicking, goal kicking and play making. I still have slight concerns over his defense, although when he misses he seems to be far enough away to not get a missed tackle. I just can't justify paying 700k for the halfback of a team that has 4 wins in 2 years, especially with Lewis and Flanagan lurking around.

My thoughts are that it's a matter of when, not if it back fires. Might be round 17 making it a wasted trade. Might be round 23 which will look genius
