where did you find the image ?

Anyway probably still roll with him

precursor wrote:While we're on the topic of traps... did we reach a verdict on Kini? He's currently not in my squad but if someone like Salmon proves non-viable I suppose I could grab him... Seems kind of pointless to have him and not play him though. I still think having him and gunning up in other areas is a bit of a risk, especially with Pap's early bye.

There are a few issues with Flanagan

1/ He has only played 5/8 once. This was with a much less dominant half (Chad Townsend) and for the most part, they shared long-range kicking duties. During this period (in 2019) he averaged 37
2/ During this time, he average 2 goials per game, so you can take four points of him straight away. He is not kicking this year so his comparative avg slides to 33.
3/ Also kicks metres were obtained every 20 metres, compared to 30 now. Assuming he maintains the same share of kicking duties, he is back down another 2.5 points per game to 30.5.
4/ He is playing with a much more dominant HLF, who is likely to do most of the long kicking If you take this into account he might at a pinch wake out 28 points per week if he is lucky
5/ You could argue that Hunt is far lmore dominant than Burton. Yet his scores at the Bulldogs were putrid.

I hope that Flanagan goes well for those that plck him... But I am gambling that if he is not the messiah - and not even particularly naughty

I’m thinking I might take a punt on Fainu as a placeholder for this week at least as I have 367k to use for the last spot and not crash hot about any of the options there. Was thinking Arthurs but I already have Cotric and Kini so probably overkill. Have no idea about any Tigers players of course haha

Yeah its something only fantasy nerds would care about

The field is still marked 10m intervals but it’s really only 9.45m apart. Meaning a 40/20 is really 38ish metres and a 20m kick return is 19ish and so on

Looking like I may have to with Kiraz in a bit of doubt... was keen on him for CTR dual when Burbo or Strange don't work out.

Only makes my squad if TLT2 goes horribly wrong. The early bye kills him as an option IMO

Agreed. I’ll be going Bradley, but if not chosen it will be Kini. Rd 2 he becomes Weakes. If Strange is miraculously chosen I’ll be forced to go Cotric for Rd 2. As uninspiring as it gets!

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:
I think Kini is worth the risk, you’ll no doubt have Weekes in Rd 2. They have a good run, if he kills it Campbell won’t come straight back in. Surely Campbell gets a test run in cup first.
