Yeah, I just changed that, meant JFH.  I have 28 trades remaining, so I think that means I've banked 2.  Whitehead was just out of the 17 last week.  I did a loophole with him which obviously was a good move and didn't play him.  His constant shifting around is too hard to rely on and doesn't have the attacking plays like TB's and offloads normally to get massive scores without tries.

Smith
Kikau, Lodge
Murray, Arrow, RFM
DCE, Walker
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Thompson

Cook, Griffin, Rochow, Havili
Maloney, JMK, Isaako, Kennar

Have 126k in the bank. Perhaps Isaako > Basement, if one miraculously shows up?
Would like to get JFH though

Remember this - Whitehead was averaging 53 in the first 3 weeks before he got shifted around

4 tries in those 3 games though.

EDIT:  Just noticed he got a picture now.  That makes it hard to trade him.

Very true. Whitehead to JFH is a great money and points grab in the one trade. Only thing is I think everyone is getting JFH. So no real upside in my opinion, just getting the same points as everyone else.

He has 15% ownership, it is far from "everyone"

But if he scores well, then you want his points whether he is ownerd by 5% or 50%, and if he scores poorly then you don't want him and having 13,000 other people suffer with you won't be a great consolation

Thanks.  Weird, I typed his name in MTB's amazing site but he didn't come up.

That BE isn't bad, can wait a week I guess.

I know they are all unknowns.  I'm torn on Whitehead, but I mainly look at value at this early point of the season.  I'm thinking a trade to JFH is the easy trade and bank heaps of coin.  Not sure what else is worthwhile.

Thanks for the write up mate. Its looking like I may need to look to cull either or both of Godinet and Doughi. And leave my playing 17 basically as is. AS you said, there is a lot of wait and see on the popular cows atm, see if they can repeat previous weeks points or continue to make money. Think im better off making one trade than none, just to bank a bit of coin to help fund upgrades down the track. Im contemplating a Godinet to 212k player who isn't playing and keeping one player with a red dot.

I did merrin to JFH last week. I don't have whitehead in fantasy but i do on supercoach and i'm stuck with the same dilemma. In your shoes i would definitely do whitehead > JFH.
