Mannering..id downgrade him to M Mau ...save 120k

Beast From The Big East wrote:DCE or Norman?

I know Norman is getting a lot of wraps around here and I definitely see the appeal, but there's just something about DCE for me this year where I think he will be a huge POD with great but not one that people rush to swap their other halves to because they aren't exactly failing either.

Why was his round 1 score last year so much better than his scores when he came back to the team.
How bad was his injury and is he over it?

Why should I expect more than low 30s out of him

Was definitely thinking Mannering.  Mau is an interesting option.  Thanks.

If you are running with Brailey AND reasonably happy with your team then it could be an edge over everyone else having it for the inevitable dud or two we have all pick every year.

Maubs???

Now it's about having 50k max and a strong squad early

Agree on Norman, not seeing the upside after enjoying having him last year.

I tried it last year.  Had 480k in the bank 1st Lockout.  I finished 360th BUT yes, was 15000 after Round 1.  However the cash gave me the ability to claw that back.  I think with the Brailey scenario this year, 1 to 200k is not a bad idea if you get a squad you are happy with.
