Insert SHADY before accountant's. Industry standards and all.

1 of Tago, Crichton, Penisini are likely to be able to easily fill the CTR2 spot, with strong scoring for the season next to Burton. I'll take a CTR that scored 60 next week that could potentially be the CTR2 and at the very least is going to have a very low BE.

The chances that none of these guys is up to the standard I need for a CTR2 and that Timoko is going to massively outscore all of them is low. I had him as a downgradeable option if things went the way that they have so far.

I think the point being made is that last night's game shouldn't have changed your opinion on Timoko vs Penisini (or on any centre other than Tago/Crichton who both scored towards the upper end of their points range)

Ahh I got ya. I’ve got Billy Smith partnered with Burt so hopefully he can have a 40+ game. I think the Roosters have a good draw

Can do Wilton & Fermor, or Sexton & Coates. Thoughts anyone?

Can't believe I'm asking this but... how many minutes we reckon Watson plays? Not 80 with Hutch on the bench?

Averages 74 minutes as starting hooker for 59 points. Should be better in Roosters compared to Knights... and he's a handsome man on the team sheet

I disagree.

If Penrith got thrashed without Cleary and Crichton and Tago both did poorly, each scoring 20 points, it would have been a very different outcome. Getting on the right cows early is really important. Will see how things play out, but Tago is definitely a good target.

Cash generation is all about momentum. To get in a player that has already a huge score and really low BE for the following week is a great strategy.

Changing from Timoko to Penisini to grab the cash for an easy upgrade next week makes perfect sense, given the situation, which didn't exist before the game last night.

You obviously don't care about position. Wilton and Fermor have my vote.

I got him yesterday before lockout because of extended run at probably 65 min at hooker. Any more minutes is bonus

Might get him in over JDB but also kinda like JDB as a pod

Watson also plays the first bye

Yep, position not important. Thanks for your thoughts.

mattnz wrote:The way things are looking so far, the cheaper CTRs will be just fine, without necessarily needing more expensive options.

With a heavy heart, I am planning to downgrade Timoko to Penisini, which gives me the cash to upgrade any $220-240k player to Tago next week.

Don't do it!

One time I had too much to drink I had a wilton but it happens
Anyways once coates was off I had so much sexton I was begging Fermor







Anyways hard to know because I assume Sexton/Coates are both starting so no idea who their replacements are
Flip a coin both look popular so can't go wrong there

The 2 big arguments which are missing for Mitchell are:
1. 8 points per week in goal kicking that he didn't get last season
2. Clean slate with no carry over points is huge, and lesser penalties if found guilty for offences as well. Was his biggest risk.

Will Mitchell average 8pts in goal kicking vs Storm, Roosters, Panthers next 3? I think purely on draw he can be a pick after few more weeks as has bit of history as a flat track bully

Has anyone seen old cheezburgs run yet this season? He wasn't match-fit when March rolled around last year. Could be another reason to pause on him.

You are buying him as a season keeper, with a season average, not for 3 games
