Anyone looking at Frawley might need to bring him in now with his BE of 28.
Not sure you'd get much out of him other than bye coverage for the first major bye though.

How much can we expect Frawley to score on a weekly basis. Will he be doing most of the licking in general play.

Surely he can get a solid 40 with all the kicking. Should be able to take a bit of control now with the starting gig. I felt when he was coming off the bench for Lichaa he was not involving himself as much as he would have liked, just because of the situation. Just my gut feel regarding the situation.

I think you can only really expect an average around 30 for 5 weeks. Won't make a heap of cash. I say that as an owner who got on at 163K. 1 extra player for round 12 I guess. Not sure worth the trade in and out but if you have 24 plus could be worth the short term gamble.

Just looked at my comment lol. I mean if he wants to play he'll be going plenty of licking of Hasler's ass but what it was meant to say was kicking.

The concern with Frawley is hes had plenty of minutes in his last few games and has scored at a very poor rate. That said I'm an owner of him and pleased he will get full opportunity to do better.

I'd say 35 is a reasonable estimate. He'll get around 15 points a week on kick metres alone. Being solid in defence and netting a try assist or two can push him up into the 40's range.

Changed my mind on no trades this week and going to pull the trigger on JDB to Brown. I'm sure JDB will play origin and has a relatively high BE this week compared to Browns.

Wow. I don't think JDB will play Origin.

You don't reckon? I get the feeling he's going to be a part of that squad.
Maybe I'm just trade raging, it's been 3 weeks since I made a trade, I've got that itch

Yeah I don't think JDB will play origin. But Merrin played for Aus, so miracles do happen.

He could be part of the squad as 18th man I guess, but those guys always get released to play with their clubs. Only the 17 taking the field will miss their club game the weekend before origin.

I don't agree with that trade but I'm trading Fifita to Brown so what would I know.

Kaufusi is $450k WTF?!

I want to do the same but it's hard swallowing Fifitas 90k loss

Fifita's playing in it so that is fine to trade him, I had the same logic for jdb but it's no good if he's not playing O.

Spectre I think you gotta try and get the points don't you? Even if it means taking a hit somewhere.

Fifita to Brown is on my radar but I'm saving it until Round 12. I wasted a lot of trades early in the season building a solid team as fast as I could so conserving them now is my biggest priority. I know Brown's making cash at a good rate but just takes an injury or suspension before Round 12 to make a trade-out of Fifi worthless.

I'm really stumped as to what to do - I need to get rid of Lamb, but don't have enough in the bank to upgrade him to anyone useful that I can see. I've got a whole bunch of cows that are still earning money, and the players I'd consider downgrading to raise some cash for the Lamb upgrade are in positions where the downgrade options are thin on the ground. Any thoughts?

91k in the bank, 22 trades.

Smith, Friend
McGuire, Wallace, Kaufusi, Yates
Gallen, Mannering, Crichton, Whitehead, CHN, Stone
Norman, Lamb, Elgey, Hampton
SMat, Cotric, Suli, Kelly
Slater, RTS, Semi, Abbey, TRD

Any bright ideas?

Is Farah the definite Blues hooker?

I have Cook and am torn on whether to sell him now or ride him over origin. If Robbie doesn't make the NSW team then Cook will keep playing 50ish minutes.

Not sure how they can or why they would pick Robbie when hes averaging about 45mins a game (excluding his 80 and his 7).
