Any ideas on another Middle at a similar price point?

I think Billy Smith is just as good a chance at averaging 40 as the rest in that range. Sort of just on the idea that roosters play well and theres some attacking points on offer. Seems to be locked in for left centre ?

Tatola seems to be the safest, but also May.

Currently got Haas & Tatola, May interests me, but as a bench Middle in that Roosters pack, minutes are a worry.
Palasia starting at the Titans seems to have a starting prop role, but is PM is yuck.
Smithies?? Unknown, fun / risky play. Too many Raiders?

B. Fletcher (cheap option at the Broncs), Flegler (similar price point, new enforcer at the Dolphins).
Just too many unknowns in the 400-600k Middles club.

Yeah true.. Probably need 60 mins to get close to 150k. 50 mins and he's averaging like 33.

I reasoned that he's only 9k more than NBrown and probably has more longevity to make some cash.

Isn't NBrown Manly's fifth middle at best? Jurbo, Paseka, Shipley, Aloiai ahead of him. They also have Waddell and Bullemor who can do a job plus Matt Lodge to come back. He might get a bigger role for a couple of rounds with the Sipley suspension but not sure that's worth it, it's not like he's base price.

Keppie may run on for Souths, cheap and looked hungry
Smithies should get DPP, as discussed
Palasia is one to watch this weekend
Leniu may start and is for the brave
Jensen will probably start and would be a reliable 35+ man
Tolo for the nostalgics, and may have something to prove
RFM may not be the worst shout, but too risky for me.
Seyfarth if you think Bateman may be playing up again like at the Raiders
Moses Leota is a very good player for 472k
Sitili T if he starts will be highly owned
Edit - Cotter is hugely owned, and by me
Edit - NBrown is probably a lock in for me too
....

There's more options than I thought....

Sipley is suspended first 3 weeks

Thoughts on the Fleg? Rage monster in waiting. Suspension trap?
Not enough minutes to warrant getting up to 45 ave.?

I have toyed with the idea of not picking up Cleary until after the bye and running with Fogarty and another cheap half, was thinking Hutcho but I can see him being more of a utility than a lock for half so that may be a risk. It would definitely allow for some balanced buying across my team.

Panthers first 5 games are against strong opposition but after the bye they have a run of easier games which makes me think Cleary's scoring may dip to start the season and be a good pick up after round 6 when there is a bit of cash generated to make him an even better buy.

The gutless side of me says get him now because most people have him as captain and if he comes out of the blocks strong then it will mean panic buying him anyway.

Likely to go the FOMO route.

CHT is on the extended bench. Taines is already priced at 388k because of a few games starting at FB last season. Is he any chance to be the first choice FB moving forward?

I think you can easily wait and see on roles for Curran and May

If Curran plays 60 straight off the bench he is probably worth a pick up. If it's 50 probably not

May scores a fair bit quicker so probably only needs 45-50 to be worth it but there is a chance he only gets 30 odd. Plus Robinson changes rotation week to week to suit the opposition so may not repeat in round 2
