I posted this in a question but was mocked for bringing it up a second time after no response initially. Gotta love the internet

He replaces king who only got 20 or so minutes

Does anyone know the titans rotation better and wants to enlighten us?

Well you did ask the last question as the very last post before it was closed on page 51 between gifs.......
And then copied pasted the question so someone mentioned dejavu? Don't look into things too much
I skipped over the last couple pages as was 'working' so want to avoid glares walking past when it's page 51 party, but will answer most questions if I feel i can give a decent answer

Cartwright is a player priced dirt cheap at around 22pts who is starting 2rf in a position where people need a stop gap for a few weeks (HLF)
Most have played either Keighran/Brown anyways so don't look at it being any worse than the scores they have got already, though he does have upside too.

He has a great history of scoring well starting on the edge, playing in a Titans team where his coach brought him over and likes him and they are paying big $$$ for him too.
Also the Titans were massively improved against a good team last week, so you would think they would stick to what works
He is also a confidence player and perhaps thats where he goes better as a starting player, even at 60mins given his boom/bust style you might still get a big score off him scoring fast

Hipgrave is probably more likely to impact him to be fair as an edge player but you are right that James could push out to the edge for a bit.
Who knows what happens but you have to take a risk in fantasy sometimes, 335k is hardly a big leap of faith

The thing is you have 2 options here

1) You buy him and have some fun with a few of us cult members, shits and giggles and all that.
2) You don't and can either laugh or cry at us in a few weeks when it all plays out.

Definitely some guesswork. Hopefully not a false dawn for his form. Yeah James is more my worry than futiaka himself. From last week king only took 20 minutes and fotuiaka will take 40. Where do those 20 minutes come from? I see them as being Carty atm which would make me gamble on CHT I think or changing my trade plans altogether

Like you say mate, all guesswork even Rein? Does he get effected? Does it chnage week after if they get a tumping by the Warriors? (unlikely I know haha)

Can Bateman maintain? He has to come down at some point, are we happy getting him in now and he averages 45 over the next 5 weeks after going so well over 3 weeks?

Will CHT be replaced after 2 games if AK fixes what KEarney said he needs to in lowers?

Fantastically framed mate. Definitely possible the amount of fires I have make this seem a more crucial pick than it probably is in the scheme of the season

I prefer dealing with more tangible differences or measurable factors when making decisions but definitely an element of luck required with some of these calls. And as booze posted above the risk is small given his price tag

I wouldn’t want Bateman if he started averaging 45. At least not in a rush. He does seem to be a fun player to have in your team which o something I look for

CHT is arguably higher risk than Carty you’re right

Seeing all this Carty discussion almost gives me trade envy. I've got 2 playing halves so I can focus on other areas, even so, next week I'll need to deal with my dnprs (definitely not playing reserves). Who knows? if the party is still happening I might pop by. I'm always up for a party

Who do I leave out? Lawrie or Capewell?

Look, sometimes I look at this game and thing "On sunday night after lockout, which scenario would i be more angry at"
If I was choosing between a gun or a cow and say both go large, I am always more gutted with the cow scoring big even if i did grab the gun over him.
Also with the way prices rise so fast, a big score means paying a heap more that cow next week....

I guess it may be also down to simply how much I invested in this player, $$ and emotionally
The cow was cheap so if he fails then big deal, the gun if he fails I start doubting my trade
Kinda like putting $5 each way on outside horse over paying $10 on the favourite to win. Which one brings you more joy if both result in a win

People look at things different, as long as you have realistic expecations and a plan then things should work out.

Didn't think at the start of the season i would have 3 titans in my team all season let alone by R4

Haha shit, just realised this as well... And here I am tempted by James too in a couple weeks.
For all our sakes lets hope they hit top gear this week

Haha, considering brining him in too. Can't find the quote now from Brennan that was posted on nrlsctalk. Basically Saying he now realises that James in the middle is what's best for James and the team

The carty party is really just some sort of weird cult like support group think tank circle jerk
Can't really put a label on it, somehow it just morphs into it's own thing where anything goes haha

Anyones welcome in there even if you aren't bringing him in

Now off to bed to dream about some sweet carty crabbing tacklebreaks and late offloads.

As someone who took the gamble and bought him in mid last Round, this is great.  Hopefully he gets a sneaky 20 minutes at Lock as well

80min at hooker AND 20 at lock? Fucking get in my team!

How on earth does Mofo get 40? Two games of 28 and 23 minutes this year. Last year averaged 32 minutes when they were short on props. His role is bench prop 20-25 minutes this year i reckon.

Well well look at this big shot here leaving one of them out while I have to play both of them. Lawrie is safe for 35 points plus but honestly so is Capewell going by his scores minus the one game he had to go to the wing.

Lawrie isn't going to be asked to go the outside backs during a game though so he's probably the safer choice.
