McGuires scores since I got him in round 3 = 41, 49, 55, 44, 65, 38. That's an average of 48.67. Too many scores below 50.

I completely agree with you. I am contemplating trading him out too but will have to be a downgrade rather than an upgrade so I can go Cotric to Croker.

The 40s Mcguire gets, plus Origin makes him a liability.

I'm hoping KNik goes good against an out of sorts Panthers team.

Elegy to this new Warriors lads or hold??

Arguments both ways could be made regarding this one Mango. Knights are up against the Titans so you'd expect that Lamb goes OK and is also the sole recognised half but Titans are well and truly getting back to full strength. KNik has the Panthers tonight who have been uninspiring but he has a lower floor than Lamb. Lamb is unlikely to score anything higher than mid 40's but no lower than 30ish. KNik could go mid 20's through to 60.

Personally, I'd go with KNik simply for the risk (and the fact that he defends slightly better than Lamb) but TBH it'll neck n neck.

I'd go for it because Elgey is in the same situation as Jacks. If he doesn't get the minutes he'll bleed cash.

Thoughts on Frizell? When he actually stays on the field he is a gun. I know he is a lock for origin but 410k is pretty cheap for him.

Comes down to who does better KNik v Panthers or Lamb v Titans.

Not sure which way to go here, I hate 50/50 decisions, always seem to pick the wrong one

Elgey and Jacks are both definite cash outs now. Jacks is going to bleed big time if Bellyache keeps playing him the way he is (although surely that won't happen) and Elgey cos he is shit for 80mins so if he plays 15 that's a recipe for a negative score!

Whether you go for Charlize or not depends on two factors. Your trades remaining and your other cash cows. If you have the trades and need to generate more cash then you could do it, if you're lean on trades then I'd almost just do a cashout.

I will get to all the questions lads, will take me a few mins tho...

Only misses an extra game due to origin, I'l probably wait until after R18 to get the Friz

Hmm is Hess - Crichton too sideways?
Other option is Brailey - McInness.
Thoughts?

26 trades in the bank but no cash so the only real trade I've been looking at is #elgeyout

Smith, Brailey
Fifi, Vaughan, Kaufusi, Musgrove
McG, ET, Crichton, Whitehead, CHN, Yates
Norman, Milf, KNik, Elgey
SMat, Cotric, Kelly, Idris
Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Suli, Abbey

I'm going with the Charizard over Feeney. Don't want Honeysett coming for me

I sold Lamb a few weeks ago so I don't have that dilemma but my 2 cents are I think the Titans looked pretty good last week, Hayne obviously gave them some confidence, the Titans could cause a few headaches pre Origin

Tossing up between him or JDB after origin for my 5th second rower

Need to decide between CHN and Brailey for last reserve. Was there any injuries during the game which allowed CHN to play the full game?

But what will his price look like come round 18?

job security of the new warriors guy? 2-4 weeks was it? so really 1-3 rounds because of rep round?

Thats the biggie, only problem with Friz is he does get injured a bit and Mary does alter the back row minutes a fair bit

If you get him now and he sticks to playing 80 his price will be around ~$480-$500k I reckon
