I was thinking this before but I then thought you can't just say "oh he went big he is due for a shit score". With scores of 60, 49 and 89 he is more than capable of scoring another 60, especially against the Cows at the moment. If Bateman can average 55+ and Nikora 45+ in my CTR's all year i am laughnig! This is my reasoning to bring him in. He has proved his worth over the first 3 rounds.

A high fantasy score is often followed by a low score. #fantasylaw101

Even so I'm making my captain this week #YOLO

Roberts has played hooker before though so surely Brimson coming on to the halves and Roberts to hooker is a possibility.

Im with Milch in his earlier post but will add a few more numbers:

IN the last 5 seasons, Rein has started at hooker 74 times, average 67min, and playing 80 ~1/3 of the time.

His historic PPM is 0.74 so at 67 min that suggests ~50 points could be on the cards. Perhaps Drop down the PPM a bit to be conservative. You'd still expect 40-45 points out of him you'd think (at a minimum). Given we are paying for 33 points, it seems like a pretty decent deal given the upside...

Interestingly, he has now started for the Titans 5 times across two seasons, playing 80 minutes each time and averaging 57.6.

Strengthens your wfb, keeps your hookers covered

At least that's what I did this week

Cheers mate - love the new look by the way.

Yeah, I quite like the sound of an 80 min Mahoney as well (if that happens).

Have so far gone Keighran>Carty as my first trade.

Wondering what to do with Brown but only have 450k.

Xerri worth a crack for a month? Or hold the trade?

I wouldn't jump on Carty so fast, all he needs is one bad game and he's benched and leaking cash. If you want to free up cash, sell AK down to Xerri and Brown up to the best half you can afford at that price (I would think Moses is probably your man but not sure if you can reach him).

What's your team makeup?

But then I'll have to leave the Carty Thread??!!

I don't trust any of the other halves at that price range either. I've definitely looked into it

Just means more tackles he can miss.

Your pop caught you smoking, and he said, no way!
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag

You gotta fight for your right to CARRRTYYY!

Carty party is like watching MAFS

I agree.  It's gamble on Carty or go full gun.

Even if Cartwright averages 25 from the next 3 weeks he makes 65k
Worst case you bench him
Some old articles on him but basically Brennan giving him licence to offload

People started Keighran/Brown so cant see him being worse than that
Don’t talk yourself out of it, Make a solid decision and stick with it

Probably, but he'll up his overall production. I rather him play 80 than 65. 2/3 games he's put on a decent attacking play too, so Im hopeful he can keep that up. I think he was always gonna struggle against the chooks.... It probably doesn't get a bunch easier this week, but the Eels have a decent run of games coming up so if he nabs an 80 min role, he could well be worth the hold for a bit longer...

I'm sticking mate.

Just don't know what to do with my other trade for the week and have Brown/Friend with red dots.

I'm a huge Friend fan though

Possibility but I remember in the Broncos trial that they kept all 3 on at the same time with Peats at Hooker.

The old 14 man team

Just hold Friend if you really want to mate and you can still field 17.  Save the trade or downgrade Brown to Xerri just for the cash.

I would trade another injured player out, small squad means injuries can pile up fast and you never know what happens this week. Don’t want to be struggling to field 17 next week

I can afford my trades this week without selling Friend so it makes sense For me to hold..
If I needed more cash for a different trade though, then he would be an option for me unfortunately
So don’t be afraid to sell him if you need to find the cash for a replacement elsewhere

Though a cheap downgrade of say brown is a good option too
