No, I'd probably wait axweek because the cash differential wouldn't be expanding. But he didn't and it is.

As said, I'm 50/50 on the trade. Maybe 60/40 now I've written it down.

1 week: 45 avg 638K(+22K), 50 avg 644K(+28K)
2 week: 45 avg 655K(+39K), 50 avg 670K(+54K)

I can go Holland to Lawrie for some cash and low be
Then thinking Garrick to Bird (cash gain later) or Host (same thing)

Team would be
Cook
fifita Tolman
Arrow Murray Gillet
Morgan Keighran
Nikora Burns
Edwards CNk Hughes
Mahoney Garner Capewell Lawire
Bird/Host Sivo Brown Ravalawa

102K/167K in the bank for hopefully bateman in the coming week.

Sadly no. My Croker love got in the way and I didn't feel comfortable having two raiders in my ctrs. Mistakes were made.

But his average playing the minutes he did last week is what 55+ maybe more?

So all based on one R1 score for Bateman and against Arrow? That's the bit I don't get mate

Archer wrote:The part that shits me is I was right on what the Raiders pack would look like AND I knew bato would be a good pickup for us IRL, I just chickened out on his fantasy scores after I did a bit more research and wondered whether some of our other pack might steal some points off him.

If I was confident he'd get 60+ minutes a week then I wouldn't trade him because he'd be a top 3 gun. All owners hoped pre-season, against quite a lot of Brennan-related evidence, that this would happen. Round 1 gave us another bit of evidence that it won't. I'd love to observe this for another week, but that costs money.

Still have 100% bonafide Dutch van der Linde worthy FAITH that he will be a centre gun this year. But the problem is I need him to do it right now, and I am not that confident that he will. The start of the year is too important to get on the right cows and have your team value increasing, and there are too many other options in his position which are going up in value.

Sure he might score a try and find 50+ points this week, making me feel like a goose- but I will still be worried about the 20 around the corner the week after. Players like Nikora, Capewell and Bateman are not going to make these stop-start price rises like him, they are going straight up with meat and potato tackle points. As silly as I would feel watching him beast it over the next few weeks while his replacement scored similarly, I would feel even worse watching him get another string of 20's while all those popular players got away from him in price and overall points. For me it is just too risky NOT to sell him.

tl;dr- we are told not to sell guns, but I fear he might take too long to become one while his shit team figures out how to play

White Lightning wrote:What if in Rapana's comeback game he re-injures himself in the 5th minute meaning J. Bateman plays the rest of the game at ctr. I'm thinking of buying Bateman so looking at all angles. I bet you're all paranoid now lol.

Welshy wrote:

Can understand the minutes worry mate, but his Average when playing 55 minutes plus is 60.2. Some big minute games in there mind so even dropping 5 points off that he is a 2RF keeper @55 points

He was beasting it without doing fuck all until a poor second stint. Nothing I seen makes me worry moving forward

But I don't want to "sway" you and get blamed haha so go with Bateman

Yeah, I edited my last post once I understood what you meant.

Also worth noting that Bateman got his score without any offloads or try involvement, both of which he's capable of. And his TBs are often of the slap and wriggle variety which are great for fantasy. Main worries against that are in-game centre moves and a potential long ban next week for thumping Cameron Smith.

All my concerns with the trade were gun for potential gun mate. Find another way to get Bateman in if you want him. Will look at your team and see if i can see anything else.

Yea Bateman is an animal said that all pre season but I've got form not backing them into my team as we know. Was at a difficult price point. Fucking Raiders
