He’s a very stable first 17 (14-17) scorer. 

This summary doesn’t at all do him justice. 

The match you say ”saved his score from being crap” is a massive undersell. He climbed off the canvas, back from the dead after looking gone for the match, with an injection and breaks through for a try in one of his first touches for a 47pt performance from 32mins of footy. 

Interestingly in one of his few matches last year he got a 47pt from 29mins off the bench (no try) thanks to 6 TBs

I think there’s any number of reasons to consider selling him. Crichton or some other fallen gun who plays 80, but wouldn’t spin shit about him, planting massive seeds of doubt. He’s a starting backrower more than doing his job, who should be good for about 65mins each week all being well.

Bird hasn't scored badly yet and if he didn't bomb that try against the Roosters, he'd have been on 42. However the Tigers generally do a good job of keeping edges quiet and Okunbor is running against a weak defensive side.

Most teams have a loop available and Garner plays the first game, suggest doing what I am and play him at position 18, if he gets a 30 you dont need to play him, can loop him in if he gets the expected 40+

Sounds like a potential loophole.

Avatar bet would be more fun.

You take a backrower less than his price who plays less than 80mins and we go head to head.

For the avatar bet to qualify Garner needs to play 60mins minimum (ie I get some injury insurance) he is after all playing on needles after your “almost crap” match where he was unbelievable

It'd be great to see Earl get a game.

Hard to say without seeing the rest of your team but if you don’t bring in Ponga and Crichton who plays in your 17 this week instead?

Could do one cow and one gun this week and then same again next week
