Don't think there anything has been said, but I'd like to know too. Might keep him for a few weeks and see what happens.

Norman got screwed with 56 points, and of course Ted gets bumped up again.

Is Braileys score a worry to anyone? 36 with a try? Almost want to downgrade Carty and upgrade him this week to Cam 2.0.

Apparently Slater will be named this week.

Poor old Jacks was making some good coin too.

Might of been a worry if the Sharks didn't win by 30 odd points

True dat.

When game scores are high and there is high pre 5th tackle errors players who score their points predominantly by tackles e.g brailey, JDB. Couple this with less than 80 minutes for both their scores are lower than expected.

It was a very stop start game since Raiders forgot how to hang onto the ball. Forwards from both sides scored below expectations so nothing to worry about there.

Brailey still had one of the highest tackle counts and this week he looked a bit more comfortable darting out from dummy half. I don't mind keeping him in for the long haul as long as seggy doesn't take too many minutes away from him

If McInnes (est price $514K this week) continues to score 70 he'll be priced around $625K in 5 weeks (+$110K) However, if McInnes only averages 60 he'll only be up to $565K (+50K) in 5 weeks...

If Brailey (est price $183K this week) continues to score 37 he'll be priced around $306K in 5 weeks (+120K)

Cheers for that.
Here's hoping (as a Brailey owner) its scenario 2 huh!

But yup, regardless, both scenarios pretty much go to the point I was making. The upgrade from Brailey to a gun hooker, if that gun is McInness, is going to be a challenge at the rate he is scoring!

Haha my mission to get JDB seemed like a win win last week but after yesterdays rubbish score I only have 1 word to describe JDB = mug. The captaincy will go back to Smith for the rest of the season.
Ended up on 733 with rank of 2,229 which was a slight drop from last week.

Who are we all looking at as the Hayne replacement. Mine is A. Johnston.
If Abbey or Ponga is named to run at f/b one of them will be my Talakai replacement.

As a non Kaufusi owner - brought in Sironen this week instead - I'll be bringing him in this week for my failed experiment that was Clay Priest.

@Warriors pm'd you the avatar bet pic for you to wear fella

Thats the danger when you trade a gun to another gun to chase last weeks points. Especially a gun that had better byes!

Do we have any stats on how Johnston scores at fullback. Im still not convinced about Souths. I dont see him scoring well unless Souths are winning and he is scoring tries

I've been planning 2 days to trade Koro and Dalker to gun half and cheap back if decent one named and assuming I can afford.

Any objections to these moves?

Might downgrade Talakai to a cheapie and spend my cash on a new forward if I he enough

Koro definite yes, you bought Walker as a keeper CTR I'm guessing, he is looking dangerous with ball in hand, reckons he explodes soon and if he can get his kicking boots on will have a decent floor

Yeah that's my hesitation with Johnston as well. He's more of a finisher than a tackle buster & will only score well if Souths are dominating.
I'm still glad I sold Gallen & got JDB. If Gallen hadn't of scored that try he would of scored under 40.

Dont think like that especially in regards to guns mate because the try is irrelevant, next week Gall will go out run for over 200m make 35 tackles some attacking stats and post a 60 with no try, just the way it goes

I wouldn't even think about bringing Johnston in. I had him in his rookie year which was fine, but look how many tries he scored. If he ain't scoring tries, he ain't getting points.

I don't think Souths are that flash and Manly even worse but Taupau and AFB back soon. I watched the game and neither impressed and think it's time to cut my losses
