I thought about it for a moment, as an early adopter of both last year it helped combat missing SJ for 600k, but cash gen was also a bit quicker thanks to the cheapies and midrangers smashing it. This year has been more of a struggle, so I'd rather spread the cash around upgrading the midrangers to fallen guns. Still need a decent basement price cashie to appear too. Thought about Weekes, but doesn't really help on Strange's bye. If Jye Gray was in the halves instead of Ilias or the other bloke, or at least had WFB, he'd be more appealing. Maybe Knights come through with someone, but if it's Pryce he's already 400k.

Toohey reckons Pryce isn’t anywhere near ready.

Cheers mate. Some hope then. Probably end up being Gagai with Lucas at CTR for minimal disruption and a more experienced line-up.

Feels quite stopgap for 3 months cover though - surely they bring in a genuine FB for that long.

The halfback spot seems to be one of the easiest spots to cover this year over the byes with cheapies like Strange, Galvin, Gray, Weekes etc. Add Plath, Ikat and DBrown to the mix and there is plenty of players that can fill in for both Cleary & Hynes. I'm happy to run with the combo until origin. I've got enough players for rd13 already, so should be pretty good until rd16 at least. Also the Panthers often play the late game after Origin, so that increase the likelihood of Cleary backing up

Has a (4) on the planner so I’m assuming that means 4 days after origin?

Yeah good point.

Bateman might be the better option for another 10k
