Just personally I think it's like Katoa.  If he doesn't score you get an 18.  And at 520k that's alot of coin when you could be running the gauntlet with someone 200k cheaper.  

Just my thoughts, trust your gut.

His scores without tries are around 30 though. His TBs have been impressive though, 5,6,5. Pretty consistent

Will probably pick up RJames first for FRF (if he stays at prop)

Go for it, I really like him as a player.  For those who don't know, the Willagee Bears over here are a very proud club, but have struggled BIG TIME in all grades for decades now.  So great to see a guy come up through their system.

Just on his base stats, are you counting TB's as base stats?  I don't know what the breakdown of his TB's are in his tries this year, but if he is making those TB's when returning the ball then you have a case to maybe include them.  But generally TB's as base stats can be very misleading.  

If your gut is saying do it then do it.

I mentioned Base + Power stats which includes TBs and OLs. He does seem to come in looking for work though so I suspect plenty of his TBs aren't from tryscoring plays.

How many halves do you have playing this week if you do that?

I'm thinking either

Gillett -> Cartwright
Edwards -> Tedesco

or just

Keighran to Cartwright

Team before trades is:

Macca
Fifita, Lawrie
Murray, Arrow, Gillett
Cleary, Morgan
Bateman, Nikora
CNK, Edwards, Burns

Rein, Garner, Capewell, Bird
Brown, Keighran, Ravalawa, Sivo

Any thoughts?

If you have to sell Gillett to get Teddy, do it, but don't get Carty, he is a T R A P. Get Xerri in instead and play Capewell or Garner in the back row.

Basically your best bet is:

If you can afford it, AK to Xerri and Dedwards to Teddy
If not, then Gillet to Xerri and Dedwards to Teddy

This leaves me with Ravalava and Sivo in WFB this week but I will not be the only one. I will also have close to 400k to play with next week for some juicy upgrades

I could have brought Ponga in this week, however, a score of 50 will have him lose around 25k and a score of 28 for Ravalava will result in a gain of the same amount. I think this is the best long term move I can make
