Can get him in this week with the following moves
Clifford - Cleary
Pensini - Taafe (Critta into CTR, Taafe into WFB)
But was looking towards some potentially better value and was looking at Benny Hunt and Grant in. Hunt more of a gut feel for purple patch run and Grant underpriced but don't like Wishart on the pine
Cleary priced at 70.5 currently, which is about the average of people's responses for the Guess the Score for his first game back - factoring in that he might be cautious at first. He would've came into the community team by a landslide if not for Koula being scratched, but even then the majority were still for Cleary.
If he averages 70, he only drops ~42k over the next 3 weeks. 60 drops ~93k over 3 weeks.
Not sure I'd want to keep hiding behind the couch every week hoping for 60s so his price can keep dropping 30k at a time.
Re. Clifford, scores are literally going backwards every week, but I'd be tempted to hold him through to Rd 12 and flick for bye player. I think he can at least hold his price and average low-mid 40s. If he's the obvious and clear avenue to Cleary though, can't fault it.
I mentioned last week that his biggest scores last year came against weaker opposition - Broncos (61, 65), Warriors (60, 61) and Bulldogs (75). Might be playing the draw too much and have false hope, but a pretty good run from Rd 9-12 with Cows, Dogs, Broncos and Warriors.
