With SJ out injured, I am considering grabbing Tualagi (or even Tago?), instead of a higher priced replacement (eg Sexton), to build bank for Cleary in a few weeks.
Would leave me relying on Ilias or Coates this week (since Schneider is also out this week), but luckily they play first. (could switch Hynes from wfb to hlf depending on Ilias/Coates score).
Thoughts?
It is probably at the cost of around 10 to 15 pts per week if Tualagi is a low 40's scorer (i feel like his match fitness improves) and Sexton is a low 50's, possibly. Sexton does look a guy who could bust out an 80pt game though.
I did like the look of Sexton in the first half last week. Looks a gun footy player.
It's been said above, but Sexton probably represents more options down the road. He could become someone you want to keep or he could be a gateway to Cleary.
Added to that is the fact that he is better to watch (& therefore own) with a more reliable base, so you won't be sitting there watching him hovering around 30 points for most of the second half every week hoping for a try.
