I know. You were one of the guys who convinced me to pick him.
I have no idea what to do with my second trade, but I do need to do something. If you're convinced of Whitehead Ill back him
With that in mind:
Green --> Scott or LAM --> Whitehead?

Week 1 Feno made 40 tackles in 50min, Soli made a fair few as well that game. Whitehead still made 37.
Edit: One of the biggest differences between his score with and without Feno was that he missed 3 less tackles (-6) the 2nd week. Something that I wouldn't attribute to the lack of Feno.

Yeah but both times hes scored less than the amount of tackles hes made. So the hope of him adding attacking stats is the only thing driving people to say hes going to do well? If you add Austin to that I think if anything it takes his opportunity for attacking stats away
Random wrote:Whitehead has a break even of 31. He should achieve that as he was able to do so in Week 1. There is no downside to holding Whitehead for another week or two. However if you are looking at trading him in, I would suggest you avoid him at the moment. As a Whitehead owner I am not confident in him scoring more than 35-45 points each week, so I see no reason why you might bring him in.

He is purely adjusting to the NRL, 2 games in and scoring decently fantasy wise all from base stats, easy to come over and just stand there making tackles, much harder adjusting his attacking game to suit the NRL, it will come
He's demonstrated he has the attacking ability, he hasn't shown it yet in the NRL but I'm not sure how much of that is down to fatigue. It's a gamble yeah, though I personally don't think Austin will hold him back in any way. The reason I'm thinking this is that 1) it was his first year at 5/8 so I'm backing him to improve his passing game. 2) He is a fantastic support player, so when Whitehead does get an offload away there is a good chance of Austo converting it into a LB or Try (with Whitehead then getting the assist obviously). 3) Hodgson is in fine form so far, looking for him to hit Whitehead with the ball up near the line.Mighty Fishes wrote:

. If you wan't to do more research have a look at what Papa's attacking stats were like from probably rd 6-18 last year, I haven't looked myself and am at work but he would have played outside Austin for most of that period IIRC.Mighty Fishes wrote:
When are you brining him in Welshy

Yeah that's what im trying to say if you already have him great no reason to drop him. Same reason as im holding Grant until Tolman bottoms out a little. But I don't think hes offered anything to suggest he needs to be rushed in.

Oh this is a fair call. I thought you were questioning why would you bring him in, period. As to why you would rush him in, probably no reason, would be more because you wan't to get rid of someone else or don't have any more urgent trades and suspect you might need 2 next week (so get in one you might be planning this week while you can). Even if he scores big this week he probably won't adjust by that much that you've missed the boat would he?

That is really interesting, especially because I have been wondering what to do with Grant. How many weeks are you thinking it will take Tolman to bottom out? 2-3 Weeks? If so how much do you think the price difference will be between the two of them? I don't see Tolman dropping under $400k nor do I see Grant getting up over $300k. Wouldn't you rather look at a total gun like Fifita or Burgess?
