He was named on the bench last week too but then started. It's a tough one though because Souths play before the Cowboys & you won't know if Hess actually starts.

Probably no coincidence that Sironens score has been good the last two weeks then.

As far as the curse is concerned, you should trade out Hess and find someone else other than Surgess. Trade in Whitehead and bank some cash.
(this would de-curse Hess and Surgess in my team)

It's probably a good trade. Works for buy rounds. I just think Hess as some more to offer. Maybe not more than Surgess though?

awanamafia wrote:Excuse my ignorance but has Hampton been playing wholly at hooker this year? He's only been averaging about 0.4 PPM in his short spells so we're looking at around mid 30s for 80 mins.

Won't make bulk cash at that rate.. Especially if he doesn't play the full 80

If you were considering Hampton surely you'd want to have a look how he goes this week first. Trouble with Hampton if he does turn out to be a flop you're stuck with a bad a/e rather than a red dot. Unless you use another trade on trading him out

I'm treating him purely as a cash out for Elgey that might get a game during byes to replace Thurston/Morgan. Anything else is a bonus

Also the risk of Leary coming into the team and hampton back to bench. If they not going to risk coote the panga back to fullback and leary comes in?
This needs to be considered.

When Granville comes back you'll have to trade Hampton out fairly quickly, otherwise he will both lose any cash he's made, and hang around being an AE risk for the run home.
