Previously you might say for example that you want your cows to make about 100k (about a ten point improvement) to make the trade worthwhile. A ten point improvement with the magic number of 14645 means you would want close to a 150k improvement, but it won't be as simple as that because of the new bye schedule and how many trades they end up giving us. More importantly for now though, I wonder how much of an improvement I should be looking for? Someone priced 10 under what I think they'll get? More? Thoughts?

White Lightning wrote:T. Sims will now be an 80 minute 2fr with Thompson going to Manly.
T. Sims av score = 38
T. Sims av minutes = 51
ppm = 74

forecast that out to 80 minutes = 59 points.
Of course he won't score 59 points having to play 80 minutes but he should score at least 45+
He could be a good pick.

season average - 45



God I love Milch's Spreadsheet

So with Thompson leaving to Manly you think he will go back to 80 minutes. Does the Graham signing force anyone into the backrow or take up those minutes though?

Here is his stats

@milchcow  Stupid question: On your 2018 planner there is three tabs, lookup team planner and player list. The lookup tab appears like you have posted here. Is there a way I can use that to look up stats or is the main idea of that file the team planner bit? Thanks

Here is a real left of field smokey for you night owls: Chad Townsend.
Moylan more of a running half and I can't see him doing too much of the general play kicking.
CT to eat up all the KMs, priced at 35 and massive POD status.

I've got CT firmly on the radar mate, should be able to get into the 40 region from extra kicking duties alone, but probably caps at a high end 45. worth it if he gets there
