Same situation for me.  I'll see what team lists throw up.  Would love some more AFB news.

StormTrooper96 wrote:South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds is in doubt for Saturday's clash against the Dragons with a minor hamstring injury.

Scan results confirmed a small muscle issue for the departing playmaker, who will be rested from training this week before a final decision is made on Friday.

The Rabbitohs are expecting Cody Walker (knee) to be available after leaving the field in last week's win but could be without Liam Knight and Campbell Graham with the pair continuing to recover from head knocks.

If DCE averages 70 over the last 6, Cleary has to average 105 over 4 to match that (for the sake of this I'll assume whichever one I have I'm captaining). If Cleary is back next week he has to average 84 to match that, which is managable. If DCE could push that to 75, Cleary would need 112.5 over 4 weeks or 90 over 5 to match it. Obviously, you wouldn't put either past him.

The other thing is that it impacts my second trade. Turbo over Ponga is at least a 10 point upgrade at this rate.

If Turbo and DCE maintain current averages for 6 weeks, that's 847.2 points + captaincy on one of them.

5 weeks of Cleary + 6 of Ponga (assuming his injury adjusted 57.9 average) = 831.9. Of course, also have to factor in points for Fog (Cleary replacement) this week, which would push that option ahead, but it's any threat of setback that worries me.

Obviously, this is the kind of math that immediately backfires when Cleary breaks his own record two weeks in a row.

I'm going to say you've got about as much chance of that happening as a Blake Lawrie runaway try.  

Paps should be easy enough if he gets back to his best because he'll have dropped a lot of cash but that could be a big if. The rest eh it'll take one suspension or injury to throw those plans out the window.

Will be either SJ or Hynes out for me, probably will have to bring Doueihi in due to half dpp, as my halves are Moses, SJ and Kelly. Likely SJ to Doueihi, Hynes may have some more useful weeks in him either at fullback or half.

Do you take the 300K saved into consideration if it's needed for one more upgrade?  Or the money saves holds a better 17th or 18th man?

You are assuming I'm coping a zero in place of Cleary. Playing someone like Verrills while waiting heavily swings it the way of Cleary
