Tossing up an ARey and Crichton combo but can't stop thinking about Fifita and all those poor blokes that have to tackle him

I have gone Crichton and ARey at the moment. But I am in the same boat as you, Fifita is a must but to get him instead would have to get a cheaper option and play them in my 17, was thinking Lamb. My 17 is already looking pretty weak with potential injuries and benched players, I don't think I can afford to do that. Need as many strong players as possible I think.

Keep missing the Mearcats trainbut would appreciate thoughts
Cook
Arrow Kikau
Harris Tolo Murray
Maloney DCE
Mitchell Isaako
Ponga Phillips JMK
RFM JFH Martin TPJ
Rein Soro Smith Cogger
Bold are my trade out options
Trade in options in order:
ARey
Crichton (Hess?)
Fifita
James (DPP, current form is good)
Bringing in Crichton and ARey fixes my halves and 2RF. Next week's trades should be Rein + Soro to Teddy + Turbo (Not worried about SOO as I'll have cover)
Thoughts?

Leaves me with 21 trades, $69k, and this lot.
Cook, Koroisau, Havili
Kikau, TPJ
RFM, Fitzgibbon, Eisenhuth, Murray
Cleary, DCE, Matterson
Inglis, Aubbs (can’t get rid of the kent)
Ponga, Thompson, JMK
Brimson, Douehie, Kennar, Cogger
I’m sure there’s a dirty, filthy, cheating loophole there somewhere to be exploited

Listening to people here, plus looking at breakevens, it seems Cleary has some price to lose so I think I'll wait until after origin to bring him in.
That said, I'll be doing Maloney --> ARey.
Who do I drop JMK for though? I need a half, which really limits who I can bring in.... Thinking Brimson?
Am I missing anyone else or is Brimson my only real option as a cash out for JMK?

Do you think Crichton can keep up what he was doing last week mate?

The theory sounds solid but even playing h2h you still need to win enough games to make the league finals.Jumping Marlin wrote:A bit of a random question: I was thinking about the magic number this morning. From what I've read on here, the magic number was around 15,000 to start the year and has now fallen to around 14,000. I assume this means that, at the start of the year, someone with a 50 average would cost $750k (50 times 15,000). And that if that person had of met his average all year, he would now be valued at only $700,000 (50 times 14,000).
This implies we should expect the price of our guns (on average) to slowly reduce over the year as the magic number falls.
It struck me that when looking at which guns to bring in, looking at price changes since the start of the year can be misleading. For example, TOLO has dropped $67k from the start of the year. BUT, IF the magic number has moved from 15,000 to 14,000 then he was priced at 60.9 average at the start and a 60.5 average now. So, he's kind of priced where he was at the start of the year! To return to his starting price, he actually has to outperform his 2017 average.
It also implies from pure cash value perspective - that investing in cash is better than investing in guns! While this makes no sense for an overall player - for a H2H player it could make sense to stash cash away and load with guns at the back end of the year when they are, on average, lower priced. This strategy also takes away injury risk for the guns that would come in.

No doubt he’s a keeper, but last week is an outlier imo. I’d love to have him, but I don’t like the idea of carrying him and Murray together, so I’ve backed Murray to cement a place in the starting team at lock eventually. Risky, but I’m confident something gives for him to play 80 soon.
You've talked myself into him as well. Cheers mate, good luck to both of us!Random wrote:
As mentioned Brimson and Lamb are the only targets for JMK to a HLF.
Lamb racked up an average of about 200 more kick meters with Watson than he did when Pearce was there. He is also kicking goals which makes him look strong. I forget when Pearce is due back.
Brimson does a lot more tackling, he lacked attacking stats last week compared to say Lamb. His job security is a little more up in the air, as Elgey did great last week in the QCup and could find himself back in the Titans team. He does a lot less general kicking, but is a cheaper option.
I just talked myself into Lamb over Brimson.
