Looks like he's sharing minutes with Lawton. I had a good look at him. I reckon he's a 30 pointer.

What are you expecting from him?

Yeah I've made only 3 trades and probably had my best start to the season thus far (in this comp anyway).
Actually that's probably why I've made so few trades.
The only one I'm filthy on is Hess and even this week I was still contemplating bringing him in....

With Stimson playing last week, Abbey scoring above expectations, Idris starting, and Hingano a chance of playing this weekend, my team suddenly looks a lot better on the cash generating front

Had Hess for two rounds now.
He's scored 49 and 80 and has risen $100k at speed, has a BE of 1 and that BE will remain low for a few rounds yet.
Even if he plays off the bench and scores 30s for the next few weeks, I'll be happy with that although I would prefer some more 80s!
He may not score a try every game but I have no doubt he'll be throwing players off for a number of tackle breaks plus the Cowboys next few games are against a struggling Souths outfit, Wests, Dragons and the Knights.

Yes I still believe Hess is somewhat a neHessity.

I'll be happy with a 35 from Hess this week

Hess will be put in his place tonight. 20 points. Sam will show him what first grade is about. There's no Elgey to run at tonight. FWIW, I'm hearing Cherrington in for Rochow, but I doubt he's Fantasy relevant.

If CHN doesn't play, does he still get a price rise?

Yeah yeah. This whole he played and scored 62 but we couldnt get our act together and put him in the system in time crap has thrown me. How hard is it to add a player that is named in a team's 21 on Tuesday??? Or just add everyone in each team's squad?
So he sits there with a banked 62 and built-in price rise until he gets on the field. I guess we will know more once Penrith cuts down to 19 and we can see if JFH sticks. Any chance he remains on the bench if JFH takes his starting spot?

Not sure if I play Lamb or not. Sort of between Brailey, Lamb and Musgrove.

I'm moving Sione down to the ctrs & I've gone off CHN as it seems JFH will start putting the brakes on getting CHN. I've come down to 2 options so which one do you like:
(a) Stimson or
(b) Simpkins
Thanks.

Brailey, Yates, Elgey or risk it with CHN for reserve spot?
