Tommy_gun wrote:90% sure I’m saying goodbye to Hastings this week. I’ve seen lots of Mam chat the last few pages, been a bit busy the past few days. Can anyone give me the latest on the Gamble injury?

Leg stress fracture, looks like 4 weeks ish. Various reports so maybe week 18 return? That's if he gets his spot back from Mam

Edit, beaten to it

Couldn't decide between Reynolds and Moses..... so I went both

Locked in:
SJ to Mam (goodbye forever sweet prince)
Starling to Mahoney

Probably:
Fermor to McInnes

Thinking about:
Nanai :****( to To'o

Leaving bank for next week to grab Bird (for a failed cow) and Moses (for a r13 player). Trades are running thin and guns are looking erm not quite gunny enough

Those last 5 Klemmer scores everyone is hyped about coincide with Mann being injured.

Still think he’s a good option but I’ll be shocked if he averages 60+ from here

Agree. History shows he's probably good for around a low to mid 50 average. $793k is a lot for him, too much for me.

Plenty of value picks on offer this week. I like it!

Yeah I’d need to see what happens this week and possibly next, by then it will probably be too late

I’m really coming round to young Lucille

I could bring in all of Mam, Brown, Lucy and Brailey this week just for a lol but might be a bit excessive haha

He got 71 in Rd 6 with Mann playing

65 BE a 24 and 27 in last 3 and sub 100 run metres last 3. Not sure why he's a pick up this week

This was my dilemma.....I'm happy to wait a couple more weeks and see.

I still don't think he's a bad shout this week, to get a keeper, but I also don't think there's huge value there.

If I wasn't so focused on R13 I would've already got him

Food for thought for people needing to replace Starling with a HOK this week

Rather than rushing to Reed who is probably peaked out atm, why not go Havili for a few weeks. BE of 6, likely to make ~100k.

Cook has a BE of 58 and will get limited mins this week and miss 17, and limited mins 18. Surely drops some cash... Havili could make some cash, Cook drop some and then you have a premium HOK for the run in.

I think Cook will avg 10-15 more than Reed from 19 onwards which is 90

Although is this then lost by Reed out scoring Havili for the next 5 weeks by more than 18...

Mann was playing very few minutes in MID even when he was playing. Klemmer had a 71 with Mann playing.

If they want to plug the poor defence for the Knights in the middle, and get some go forward, they are going to be relying on Klemmer to make the difference, not Mann.

Klemmers stats the last few weeks have been great, big tackle counts, lots of meters and offloading a lot for bonus points each week.

Should be getting around 60-65 minutes still with Saifiti out until Round 17, with a PPM > 1.

Coach has finally dropped Crossland, so wouldn't surprise to see Mann getting most of his minutes off the bench at HOK.
AOB doesn't seem to have much confidence in his other bench players, Croker, Sasigi and Thompson should continue to see low minutes.

He also got 39 and 45 with Mann playing.

Good points here but its an extra trade as well. I'd rather Mahoney + a trade vs Cook

why would that matter lol. he avg's 71 now.

Low minutes in round 1 in the heat for the biggest guy in the comp and 48 minutes with Saifiti playing.

Given he missed the next few rounds, its possible the low minutes in round 1 were caused by injury?

What are peoples thoughts for captaincy options this week? Hesitant to take it off Cleary, but what are the odds he gets a rest? IPap and Hynes both decent options in my mind.

Klemmer only averages 39 in games without Daniel Saifiti this year

I don't think that stat is relevant, sample size is often too small to be meaningful. Anything could have happened in the 1 or 2 games we are talking about here that would impact his score more than whether or not a certain teammate was around.

Klemmer has picked up his offload game massively, especially compared to last year. That is causing the bigger scores more than whoever he plays with.
Unless you think Kurt Mann is on the field imploring him to make less offloads to hand.
