Don’t hold much hope this Thursday with Trell, Tatola, Arrow, Host, Havili, Sele, Knight all out.

Hhhmmm not ideal for you on Trell.

Going off historical data there doesn’t seem to be much value. The most he has been valued at is around low 400s, so at $330 doesn’t seem worth it.

But, if he is playing a different role, or just better historical data isn’t as relevant.

Anyone watch the game? Seems like his score is inflated by tbs and a LB.

Couldnt score well in a top Panthers side at CTR, when you look at the other Panther CTRs, he is the anomoly - Crichton, Tago.

Actually, have a look at Naden's 2019 season, which may show what you could expect, admittedly his rookie year, so maybe he has removed the rocks from the diamonds.

Average of 24 with scores of -8 (67 minutes), 5, 6 (with a try in 80 minutes), 12 and 17; but also 62, 46, 46 (2 of those games had 2 tries).

Yeah EButcher's off my tradeout list after escaping suspension. Had an easy 40+ incoming, which is more than I can say for most of my team. I'm tempted to punt Smith, but if he's playing I should probably hold.

Uto got the role and minutes I wanted, not sure it will last though and I tried trading him to EKatoa as my final move before lockout and was $15k short.

Might end up not trading, or picking up one or both of Ford and EKatoa. I think the latter will bust out a few 50-60 point games, but I think Storm typically play conservative early in the season, grinding out tough wins before playing more expansive when things are clicking, so maybe I shouldn't force that trade this week.

To'o scored the same as Teddy for 200k cheaper is what I see

Yes this is the prime reason I'm even considering jumping off the Cheese, last year I came to the conclusion that rib and AC joint injuries should mean an instant sell in fantasy, as we saw Haas struggle with the AC joint injury and Tapine/Frizell with the ribs (I think Taukeiaho had similar issues one year and a lot of people got trapped by him).

We were all surprised that he had a down year last season (46 average), after a stellar year the season before (63 average in games he wasn't injured) which made him a genuine HOK gun option. No chance of Origin.

If Bulldogs keep playing shit, he is going to put up a similar stat line 50 tackles, 50 run meters and was good to see him taking km off Burton, who is looking under real pressure. Gives him a base of 58 in games where they aren't playing well.

In games where they are doing well he should pick up a few attacking stats.

With the Bulldogs MID crisis, Brown isn't playing HOK, giving Reed a chance to cement 80 minutes. Was the only standout performer in a really bad Bulldogs performance. Even without the try, would have scored 63.

Only a $112k upgrade on Smith, who doesn't look to be playing an 80 minute HOK role any time soon
with Turpin getting huge minutes off the bench and possibly playing injured (if named this week).

Hard to find quality undervalued HOK options that don't play Origin and play 2 bye rounds. Helps ease the pressure of 3 Roosters that many of us have, when we don't want to be playing our shitty emergencies in Round 4.

Yeah I was high on Reed in preseason but he was always the first to be downgraded when I was looking for more cash. Solid pick I reckon.

While I think Smith will be a bust, which is why i didn't start with him, trading to Mahoney ain't it.

Wasted trade.

Anyone trading out Smith this week needs their head read.

Nothing about the game should have changed your thesis.

I think there's a case for trading Smith out. If he get's two 50's he only goes up 25k and then has a bye. But he might be carrying a rib injury and the Roosters looked a shambles. Let's not forget they were down, Angus, Sititli, JWH, Watson etc. They get JWH back but lose Lodge. Radley in doubt?? A couple of 35's and BS9 is losing 19k. I think it's safe to hold him, but I'm considering a sell and don't think I need my head read. Plus I find myself with 4 Roosters....
