Brailey & CHN the best options for the L**p?

Always better to name someone if there is more than a 0% chance he will be used.

If he is named, it costs nothing to drop him from the team

If you don't name him, then he definitely can't play, even if you change your mind.

Replace Cleary in your argument with Turbo and ask all those who didn’t get on how it worked out for them.

That literally doesn't make any sense as a comparison.
Turbo was a third the price ($477k), priced at just 38 points.
I think even the people who didn't grab him wouldn't have argued that he offers some value (albeit for probably a 50 average)

Unless you're suggesting that Cleary in 5-6 weeks will nearly double in value, like Turbo did?

Nathan Cleary Turbo
Price: 1.2mil 477k
Priced at average: 100 points 38 points
Fitness: Not carrying an injury and not requiring an end of season operation, but some history of collecting injuries and only 7 rounds before the R13 bye round.
Only likely to take 1 trade to get him in.

Not really comparable is it

Hey PYTM,
You left out your edge players.
Plus. Schuster is named.

Cleary (probably), Turbo AND Ponga, Fifita and maybe Cook for good measure - 7 trades, $889k and a tinge of Insanity to boot

Fortitude wrote:

Well when you put it like that no.

I was more pointing to the argument people had for not bringing in Turbo when he came back. Many said coming back from an injury would hamper his scores likely to re injure etc. that didn’t work out well for those people.

Other thought was is it worth cashing out Peachey to a cash out and then upgrading Brailey to Mahoney, or is that too sideways? Other thought was Brailey to Ipap but would just be left with Macca and Verrills at hooker. Can only upgrade Brailey if I cash out Peachey but it leaves me no centre cover.

Other thought was hold trades and try get Cleary back but how could I do that with such a low back?....

Team with 5 trades and 52k spare is

Macca
Angus Haas Tohu
Fifita CHN
DCE Moses
Ramien Manu
Teddy Turbo Walsh

Hynes SJ Schuster Brailey
Olakau’atu Verrills Peachey Suaali

Hey @easytiger, what are your thoughts about Schuster vs. Lolo?
I can pick up one but not both.
I have Haas / Crichton / IPap / AFB in the Middle
Fifita / CHN / Robati on the Edge

Trading out Brailey before he loses all that sweet cash.

Hooker stocks = Egan / BHunt / Verills

easytiger wrote:

I definitely agree with you on that - there's a huge risk to expect an injury to change a players output/style of play.
It sounds like if he is fit to play, he should play pretty much normal.

Cleary is also an injury being managed, where to my understanding he will be getting surgery (at seasons end all going well) - whereas Turbo was just hoping that his record of picking up injuries would stop.

It's enough of a question mark for me to wait a game and see (who knows, I'll probably have other fires that make the choice for me anyway).
