Cheers

Hynes, Yeo, Watson?

Got first two, bit torn now on Watson backing up, plus the re-emergence of Cheese. Probably still worth it, but more hesitant now than I would have been a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah could be when Munster is back, he's 800k +, and providing an easy bridge to Cleary.

But also a guy I won't mind holding to the end either.

Yeah, definitely someone you won’t be distraught over if you have to hold.

Am an owner and it's tough now he's not getting close to 80 each week.

I’ve owned Tohu since round 5 and kept him through those few rounds he was out, and really wish I had, at the time, sideways traded him to JHughes back in round 14.

What’s the deal with Will Pryce. Covering an injury, or has the spot going forward?

I relate to this post a lot. I've been contorting myself into various positions and squinting trying to make the options appear better. But there's just nothing. I think I would role the dice and use my last two trades on Salmon and Twal to get Hynes, if there was a decent cheapie less than $352k. But there isn't. So likely playing one short and hoping Hynes scores 57. And hoping Twal back for rd19.

Form over Cogger but Gamble due back R22

Forgot about Gamble.

Would be nice for him to win the spot outright, they seem to hold him in pretty high regard.
Wanting to upgrade Salmon and Hughes but one of the spots should probably go to a R19 WFB but they all either don’t play this week.

There were these quotes from AOB a few weeks back not exactly singing his praises, doesn't necessarily mean that much if he goes really well until Gamble returns but a bit risky.


Despite this, Knights head coach Adam O’Brien hasn’t seemed impressed with him so far.

A few weeks ago, legendary NRL half-back Andrew Johns called on O’Brien to hand Pryce a debut after a poor performance from Jack Cogger and former Wigan and Salford man Jackson Hastings, but he made no changes for the next game, saying:

“I don’t want to make any knee jerk reactions now, although I did change the spine up earlier in the year a few times.

“I think Will’s still learning the game out here to be honest. I don’t know how many games Joey has watched of NSW Cup, but he (Pryce) hasn’t had many back-to-back good ones.”

Cheers BCT. Sounds like a bit of a steer clear then. Will have to wait for Round 19 to make the trade.

I was looking at taking a punt on if named Rd 1. If held in high regard why taken so long to get a run?
Will he kick goals as I've seen people mention his non injury NSW Cup avg at 5/8 is 46 or so but that includes 9ppg avg from goal kicks

Think his defense was the sticking point for him according to Toohey.

So nswrl site is wrong or yafss site hasn't pulled the data in?

Random recent game

Ah, goals is conversions + goals.

Fixed now for all your Will Pryce goal kicking needs.

Twal to FSharpe this week, Hughes to Sipley next week, buy Cleary round 20, probably for Sorenson

Jurbo will be back and Aloiai and N. Brown will play in prop rotation, you think Sipley gets enough mins?

I can get Nikora but already have Dylbags Hands, Iro, Hynes out round 20. Dylbags likely to Cleary and one of Hands or Iro might be gone by then.

Other option is get AFB.
