45 minutes average, 48 points priced at that too.
Assuming people have Arrow/Kikau in the FRF then just wondering where the upside to him is?

Consistently average and nothing wrong with that but assuming you have your FRF slot maxed then you are buying a bench spot.

Not counting the other popular people like Murray/RFM then you can also get

Harris,Fitzgibbon,

Or 40-50k more gets you
Surgess/Brown/Mannering/Guerra

Cheaper options are players like James/Taylor/Vaughan with more potential as well

Just not seeing where all the love for him has come all of a sudden, same on all the Facebook groups too

Bird's score of 5 doesn't scare you away

Surely he cant play that bad again. There is an article saying he is down in confidence and when he got shifted to centre mid game he pretty much self destructed mentally.

Unfortunately i brought bird in last week too. Hoping he gets his mojo back

Fortitude wrote:Is Burgess out for 2 or 3 weeks? literally only just bought him in.

This weeks trades im thinking of being a bit wasteful. For mine Harris is an out. Has been a very good player to have from start of year, but a score of 8 will drag his value down, plus doesn't play rd13. Lock in Harris to Aitken then considering the following


Surgess > Smith

Or

Cronk > Friend.

Cook
Arrow JFH
Jurbo, RFM, Murray
DCE, Maloney
Aitken, Croker
Teddy, Ponga, Hiku

Kikau, Rein, Cronk, Nichols

Surgess, Isaako, Gosie, Havili

Seems like a waste to do Cronk - Friend this week where they might score the same and Friend will even be cheaper next week.

I missed the game, how many minutes into the game did he get shifted to CTR?

Niko came on at 44th minute mark, shifted Bird to centre then.

Macca got injured a few mins later (around 50th) which is when mcguire went to 9. Niko stayed at half. 

I thought that was interesting but maybe bennett didnt want to have to use the change to bring opacic back on.

Im running him in my 17  

But prolly a little expensive as a cash cow candidate now.

Cogger has also signed with Bulldogs for next season so you'd assume Lamb is going to get another shot at some stage

I imagine Knights will line up as

6 Cogger
7 Lamb

Does Lamb become the dominant kicker or do they share the duties? (They must have played together in ISP)

I don’t really have the time to have a look before I trade one in. Needs to be this week.

Any Knights fans got any insight or predictions of who will score better. Price isn’t a factor.

Thanks
