Absolutely. He was very good on the weekend too. Frawley has been tried too many times, and just never works, why keep going back to him?

Corey Norman has had a decent average all year really. 52, 14, 36, 41, 39, 22, 77, 66. Besides those 2 blunders he's looked okay. Now the team is on a high, he could very well be worth a punt.

I have Dugan, Kennar, Gosieski and JMK.

CANT EVEN POOLHOP BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY RED DOTS!

He looks sharp and the Eels look to be playing better. He's a better bet than most at that price.

Campbell Graham would of been worth a look if named and Kennar injury longer term

Norman could be an alright swap for Dufty to get Mbye into the back three.

Don't know how much I trust the Eels to have their shit sorted though.

Happy with Mbye as fullback but not as a half, in saying that, my eyes are only on Cleary or SJ to pair up with DCE and there's problems with both currently. None of the other halves do it for me except Matterson I guess but I'm sour on him because I went Mbye over him when I had the chance and now he's so much more expensive haha.

If JMK is dropped I'm going to have to trade for a half. Have Croker already out, but wasn't too fussed if he sits for a week and I was just going to bank 2 trades. Now I await TLT with bated breath

@wolfking, curious as to how you came up with two 52, 14, 36, 41, 39, 22, 77, 66. I personally would say anything under 40 for a half is shit. That means he has 4 and one very borderline. Meaning 5 outta 8 starts.

Regulator needs a rectangular type avatar.

Deadset you snuck up the rankings very quietly didn't ya!

It's tome for an avatar Regulator, it's time.

Haha, time not tome, although Skyrim is my second favourite game of all time, and Jeff Robson is my favourite shopkeeper of all time

I'm too lazy on my phone to do one. Maybe I'll revisit that stance.

When I lurked about on Sportal I don't think I had one either.

Why is JMK being dropped or got a source?

Because I am fucked so badly especially more so if Brown isn't there.

Early doors going

Dugan - JFriend 
Croker - Cogger

I am definitely considering him. Not necessarily as a keeper, just as a round 13 player who can be used as a stepping stone to SJ who will hopefully be fit enough to trade in some time after round 13.

Curtis Scott a chance to be named this weekend

A mate of mine is looking to dump Dufty to a half on a budget. Mentioned last week that Norman, Moses and Munster might fit the bill.

Might aswell go Norman over Moses imo, and if you're thinking Rd 13, Norman could be one of those shoot-up-the-rankings pick-ups.

I'm locking in Dufty to Rapana this week personally. Second trade to cashout Gosie for as cheap as possible.. fingers crossed for Katoa or any other cheapie with all the casualties.

Rapana had a great game last week and still scored average, what is making you go for him?

I don't think he's lost his gun status after 8 rounds. He averaged 47 and 50 past two seasons and has a history of some dud games here and there.

2016 he averaged 47 with lows of 8, 19, 23, 26.. six scores in the 30s and six in the 40s.

2017 he averaged 50 with lows of 12, 20, 20, 28.. four scores in the 30s and eight in the 40s.

2018 he's now priced at his current average of just under 34. Lows of 13, 17, 20 and 33 so far.

I feel he's low-risk in the sense that if he's regressed to a low 30's winger, you get exactly what you've paid for, but knowing what he's capable of and that his current scores aren't that out of line with previous years, he has a lot of potential upside.

Might be hard to average 47-50 for the entire season (in for some cracking scores if he does), but if he can average that from this point on, he'll have been a great buy at 507k, around 200k+ underpriced.

Sometimes you just gotta gamble
