Do you expect Hess to up his average from here on out?

55.

Nice, shall we put an avatar on it? Im getting sick of mine anyway

Hess to finish the season at + or - 55 points

Disc: I have no bloody idea but I had him in my team when he knocked out a 20 or so Im not convinced

Yes I'm thinking keeper on Hess. Not looking to trade him at all. Would love Tolo as well.

Rabbits you seem to know more than anyone about what happens at Souths, what do things look like for Crichton when Surgess comes back and into the future?

Lol finish the season? Make it the next 3 round average of 55 so you've both got a chance of remembering you actually made a bet.

Haha, ok, yeah, but mathematically thats a much different bet - way more in his favour.

But anyway, I'll go with that just for a laugh

Yo @Milchcow would sell Talakai Suli or Jacks. Don't really want to break up my handy Suli/Cotric DPP in CTR and WFB option so that only leaves Jacks who could be handy 15/18 cover

Clack Bocks wrote:Did we find out why Siro only played 55min last weekend?

Nope. Could easily upgrade him to Whitehead, but I'm actually going to see what happens this week first. Unless Barrett just gave him a spell. Who knows, maybe Barret might rotate it, Siro maybe plays the 80 this week and Winterstein gets a spell, but just purse speculation.

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Outside of Hooker my suggestion is to upgrade Hess. A lot of talk he might bust out a monster against the Knights, but on the flip side he is probably one of the few (perhaps the only?) $400k + players that could also bust out a 20 despite playing 80min. I personally don't like that kind of uncertainty from such a pricey player. Holding him could be a massive payoff if he comes off, but I think there is more chance he doesn't do that and hence will lose you money.

What are you basing that on? hasn't scored below 40 all year, except for one game where he failed HIA.

Woods hasn't been officially confirmed. Likely he has signed but is still in cooling off period.

Looking more and more likely that Teddy will be off to the Roosters from what I've been reading on some Tigers forums. Gordon will be spewing.

Tigers will have plenty of spending money by the looks of it but whether they can attract anyone there is another matter. Graham or Tolman in the front row with Mautalino  would be great, Widdop in the halves and Gordon out the back if the Teddy thing eventuates.

Lets see if Cleary can work his magic.

Still that game he scored 20 points on 50 minutes and is actually indicative of his scoring though much of several games this year. What has saved him is one or two massive attacking plays. I guess it comes down to whether you think on a week by week basis those attacking plays, particularly the tries are sustainable? Will teams work him out? approach him differently? or even if they don't, all else equal will he continue to rack up those plays most weeks? Im just not sure he will. That's pretty much the crux of it for me. Im by no means certain of my opinion though. Its just what Im leaning to at this stage and why I traded him out. That and the fact I see value else-where.

Perfect Milch. Thank you. Either way not sure he is worth a trade

i can't believe the dogs would want woods over graham. if woods is signing on you'd think graham has to be gone.

@rippin and tearin

thanks for the feedback mate awesome stuff.

lots to think about, im leaning towards cook to brailey now and holding hess for at least one more week. im holding off graham til the bye rounds depending on $ could go nufty to graham.

if i do the brailey trade i dont think i can afford leilua.

ive got no trades locked in probably just flip a coin just before lockout, its been working so far.

thanks again

Based on stats available I think a 30-40 average is reasonable.

Little uninspiring tbh :S

100% this. Woods is over rated.

If they have to let Graham go because of Woods it would be total insanity from the Dogs.

Hope Graham sticks in the NRL, love watching him play.  Would be just what the Knights need.
