Nope. Respectable army cut. Clean shaven. Far more reliable

Potential buys:
Galvin - almost certainly my number 1 trade in. Terrible team but passes the 1 week eye test with flying colours, and enables funds.
Curran - i think he's good for pretty much 60 mins every week and probably starts soon.
Lussick - probably an 80 min player and if so, a solid scorer. a bit of a dull pick though.
Finefeuaki - bit of a risky pick but i like the way he plays.

If you need some fuel, I started the season with both Lolo and Kiraz and I was so sure they'd be great picks. I have also posted in the past that Terrell May will only play 35 minutes in round 2 and even before that tried to make a case for Leniu being a good pick.

If you want to attack me personally instead, I play a heap of footy myself. I got dropped from HDC last year 3 rounds into the year and then only lasted a week in a cup preseason this year before getting cut after running a 6+ minute bronco. I've been single the last 3 years mainly because i'm still in love with my ex and I wear a beard to hide the fact I have no jawline.

i think he was just priced at last years average. 344k at 25 ish ?

Agreed. If you're running short of time and don't want to read all the fights on the forum, just click the magnifying glass under a Tigs post for all the good oil.

Having just brought him in, I feel pretty good about the selection, nothing changed in terms of eye test (albeit more points would've been nice).
The Eels showed a real weakness on their left edge early, and the Panthers did what they do and exploited it ruthlessly with Tago.
Getting some CTR/WFB DPP was important to me, hence the late decision to pivot from Turbo.

Just a gut feeling, but I have a suspicion that Gagai might not be the only 50 point centre this year; with Taytay, Tago, Cobbo and possibly Wighton to join him.

Last week I viewed Taylan as a more expensive version of Kiraz - good base stats - can offload, handy DPP, but you're paying an extra $70k for a bit more upside being a better player in a top 4 team (vs bottom 4) - not much of a value buy, but could be a little?

Magnifying glass eh? Just learned something, have an upvote

Neat!
