There is also so many 2RFs this year with major cash potential like RFM, Griffen, Kikau, Arrow etc. All they have to do is average 40 and they make 150k+ easily. If you want a solid gun player and have cash then I would prefer Brown since he is undervalued due to injuries and his first few games last season. I would rate Merrin above him too.
In part I agree with the logic above, but the bit thats missing here, and the reason I think you are undervaluing whitehead is that all the guys you speak of as value alternatives are great cash-cows and will be good scorers to start the season, but at some point you'll have to trade them out.
Whitehead on the other hand, I think, at a 50 average or perhaps just a touch higher, will be good enough to sneak into your final 17 and therefore you are picking up a guy from the outset that could be a set and forget for cheap.
I think Merrin and Brown will end up being players that will average high enough to make final 17s, but they are more expensive!
So the question becomes, what players are out there, that could make your final 17, that are cheaper than Whitehead. Thats the more pertinent question I think.
