I'm seeing a guy averaging 46 without doing much. One decent score, like a 70, and he's averaging 51. Basically priced accordingly even if he just does that once every 5 games on average.

There is a truth to this, but where my frustration with him lies, is that you could say the same thing about a Beau Fermor, for $170K cheaper. Not that's he's not doing much, but he'll probably average around the 40's with a boom score every few weeks. And there's a whole handful of guys priced significantly less that Fifita who you could basically say the same thing about. They may not score in the same manner as Fifita, but I'm guessing that purely on average, you could get someone who's going to score as well as Fifita for $150+ cheaper, even at his current price.

And please don't get me wrong. I'm getting rid of him this week so he'll score 70+ every week from now until the end of the season. Of that.

I am aware.

You know what to do. So many good coaches not following the basics this year because last year shocked the system. DBrown or a cheap Dfif isn’t even a question

Nicholl-Klokstad --> Koula
Ilias --> Cotter [Ilias even if he makes cash is gonna do it rather slowly and in a one-step forward one-step-back kind of fashion - I just really like Cotter as a player and it would be fun to have him in the side so I could watch him with more intent]

Any advice??

People forget this is the reason we play this game. I say go for it. Every chance Cotter becomes a 50pt average scorer and your fun is doubled

My celeb true story is that I used to go to the same gym as Ray Davies in London and (separately) he once stared me out because I almost ran him over on a zebra crossing.

class! Lucky you didn't son, he's still touring now!

@Pain

love the trade.

All my trades for Cleary been based around keeping Cook and Fifi.

Yeo should be gold for his price point still, Clifford - Cleary next week

Imagine if we had the option of Ilias instead of brooks?

Rather not think about it, Krump

Its amazing the things that I miss. I never even connected clack bocks with the obvious until someone said it was a good name at a meet up. Always just assumed some sort of African antelope

Koula is going to be such a fantasy dud... I can feel it

But at 220k who can complain right?

Spoiler:

Fermor is a fantasy dud imo. He’s had some inflated scores but he’s no Fifita.
I say this as a fermor owner who traded Dfif to Cleary last week

I could see trading Fifita to Cleary if he's the only option, though I'd prefer finding someone else or maybe hiding behind the couch another week. Haas I'm not so sure about.. I'd rather have both Fifita and Haas. If you can't afford Cleary and need a reliable captain like Haas, maybe it could work out short-term.

Anyone else like the $150k cheaper guys seem sideways or could go backwards to the point where you're burning another trade when they string together a few 40s.

Three in these players in 14 - 17--> Three in the 18 - 21

In the current order, I have them

15. Walters 16. MaKing 17. JoKing 18. Tuilagi 19. Schneider 20. Koula

Seem legit? No option to loop unless I trade someone in specifically for the purpose of doing so

Broncos HQ probably leaked that Haas video. His $$$$ has gone down probably in the contract negotiation and with other potential clubs.

Matts got me looking at Grant now. Fifi feels like more fun though

Great. The Roosters can get him for less.

What's better, selling Fifita to get Haas or prematurely selling a cash cow to Haas and keeping Fifita?

As others have pointed out, he's averaging 46 doing SFA. Any attacking stats push him back to keeper territory. Paranoid I'll sell him and the tries are going to start coming.

if he gets a million a year the only club dumb enough to pay it would be the tigers

Matts opinions historically lead to a very high ranking

The tigers is where you go to die.

He has too much potential for that.

Also just wanted to say hi mystery down voter we all know who you are. Why be a dick?
