6 scores between 24 and 36 last season in +50 min games. Almost made me swerve him to start with

Twal's tryscoring travails are a bit of a cliche, but I was shocked when it was mentioned in commentary last week that Pat Carrigan has never scored a try in first grade. I looked it up because I was sure it couldn't be right, but it turns out he is on a duck egg.

Carrigan has zeroes across the board for tries, try assists, linebreaks. Averaging a huge 0.1 LBA per game. The new age Aiden Tolman

Boyd's BE is only 37 so another score in the 20s doesn't lose him that much money, and Talau's not gonna make money anytime soon.

Yeah I'm gonna try to hold Boyd this week and maybe go ARey next week if Boyd sucks again. I was tempted by Boyd to Bird in 1 trade, but leaves my halves shot when Trindall disappears and no bank.

I'm a bit iffy on Sloan. Single digit and low scores even with a try in his past. Got off to a great start though, so can probably make money off the back of that, definitely if he jags another. I'd probably punt on BMM, but I'm short on MIDs compared to WFBs.

Tolman was relevant for a couple of seasons around 2014/15 & he definitely went on a tear at some point and facilitated a upgrade...could this be what's happening with Pat?

I'm monitoring for a dip and then a sideways leap to someone like Joey Tap

I think Sloan will do alright, the Dragons have looked better than they were expected to be, and Sloan only need to average 30 across the next 3 to make 90k, which is pretty decent.

As for the other trade, I think I can hold Boyd this week, the question is more so whether to sell Cleary, and if so whether to get DCE or Cook.

I've tossed up Cleary to DCE, expect it could be a big week for DCE vs. Eels left edge. Feels like a one week punt though and too many times my emergencies have scored well enough, even better than the gun I traded in. I tried to pick a balanced squad with cover for these 1 week things.. no point having cover if you don't use it.

Sloan's also a thousand times better to watch. I like him anyway. That try back against the grain was beautiful.
