I'm still quite high on Hutch. I think a 40-45 point average is well achievable, which at that price point is great.

If I end up starting with Plath, I will happily re-look at my hooker options and can comfortably ditch Boyd

Cogger Hastings I see changing potentially early to mid season. If that happens I think jacko wouldn’t hang around too long either but see what happens there

@Mulvy as well

I've really come round to Boyd. Originally just a great cover option for my starting halves which included Hutch, it frees up more opportunity to load up on mid/edg cheapies which is where the value lies. I'm not gonna turn my nose up at an almost guaranteed 45 points every week. As mentioned previously, you can get away with a safe, valued at their average, type player. Guaranteed points and cover help earliy season as much as cash generation. Have to assume that's what most people are doing with Haas, I'm just doing it with the cheaper Boyd instead.

I may still just rock with Boyd and Levi based on this, just really not enamored with Levi, even if he wins the starting role.

Having that time pressure is a bit of a worry too. It's the reason I changed from Grant to Cook, with a rd4 bye, you kinda need to start with cover. With Cook I can worry about that later.

Due to byes/Vegas, Gold Coast only play 1 game in the next 3 weeks. Does he mean 3 rounds?

I'm just hoping we get some sort of update next week to make a more informed decision
