Rounds 3 & 6 he scored 50 & 55 points but in each game he had a ta & scored a try.
In round 4 when he didn't score a try or provide a ta he only scored 40 points.
So unless he gets attacking stats he's not really going to set the world on fire.

Don't let his good score cloud your judgement. If he scored 50, played 80, I don't think as many people would be looking at bringing him in, which leads me to believe people are bringing him in because he scored good, and some people think they are going to be magically getting 70's every week now.
Just my 2c...

I'd advise on having a look at his stats for the whole last year too. He got attacking stats then as well as will he likely do the same this year. The edge he plays on is damaging to say the least and seems to be the goto attacking side for the Raiders. I've got no reason to believe he won't get attacking stats most weeks. Obviously there will be variation and some weeks he won't get any but it'll average out and you'd expect roughy 50 PPG out of him.
Thats my rationale for grabbing him anyway.

I'd prefer to Stone/Yates > Whitehead but a lack of cash/DPP is preventing me from doing so..

I brought him in because I don't know what I'm doing. He then scored 39 and 78.

With JT now out surely that makes it even harder to ignore Hampton
But Frawley such a gun if Des gives him the starting jersey he will own it and be this years Cleary.

I had him all last year & my vague recollection is that he scored well when the Raiders were dominating & scoring plenty of points because he was involved in some of the attacking plays that resulted in points. He's an up & down sort of player & will get a few low 40's but then a few 55+ scores.

White Lightning wrote:I had a look at Crichton's tb & mt stats over rounds 2-6. He's played 283 minutes (49, 45, 58, 51 & 80 mins). In these games he has made 21 tackle breaks (4, 2, 1, 7, 7). That's a tb every 13.5 mins. However the negative factor with Crichton is missed tackles. He has missed 12 tackles in these games but that includes 6 missed tackles in round 5. It's interesting to note that the only game he played 80 mins which was in round 6 he only missed 2 tackles. I'm starting to think if he's nailed for 80 mins as an edge 2fr then he's a better option than Whitehead.
