    So much talking about backs.
    Thinking I'll lock in,
    a Whitehead for a Yates.
    Then a NBrown fror a JWH.

    I've got rocks in my head then. Leary is named at 9, close to bottom dollar but comes with the bonus of making at least a little bit of money in the very rare chance i have a trade spare down the line but need cash. Unlikely to stick around as a nasty AE and the guy I'd be trading out in Yates isn't doing all that much for me anyway. In fact Leary might actually benefit me on a bye, which Yates most likely wont. I'm not set on it, but I'm considering it and don't see it as silly as you do.

    Sorry didn't mean to come across too brutally. I just think it is too higher risk. There is also a potential for Coote to come back next week and possibly (all theory atm) push into the halves, putting Hampton back to hooker and Leary to the bench. To many scenarios that could play out as early as next week for the Cowboys and it looks to me that in every possible scenario Leary looks to be the first to be pushed out.

    I do agree though that he is a great downgrade for Yates.

    If you could guarentee he doesn't play origin those would be great trades. Could go down hill very quickly if Reynolds plays origin

    Who will do the field kicking for the Cowboys? Hampton isn't a kicker is he? Morgan?

    Eels have a stacked 2RF, and with Kenny Edwards to return in round 8, I'll pass on Brown because he could easily go back to the bench and be less attractive

    Cheers mate for the feedback and Welshy. I'm strongly considering it. I mean you gotta take a punt now and then. Who are the options anyway. Pearce, Moylan or Maloney for 5/8? Cleary as a bolter? anyone else?

    Sterling said on the sunday footy show that Cleary is no chance this year and I'm pretty sure he is involved in selections. Basically Pearce v Reynolds for halfback and Maloney v Moylan for 5/8 I would think

    Bit of a conundrum really. If I get ARey I want him to gun it, but not gun it so much he gets selected for blues, haha

    All good and i completely hear what you're saying. Its a move very likley to blow in up in your face and although we've been saying that about most of the "rookie" options this year, you can't get lucky on them all and this could well be the one that goes poorly. I may end up passing on it, because as i said earlier I'm really keen to improve my scoring this week rather than making more trades for money, but i just didn't think it was quite as one sided as you and all discussion is healthy on here so thought I'd throw my 2 bob in.  alien

    Re: Cowboys field kicking I thought Morgan would pick up a bit and Lowe would do a little bit plus goal kick but he's in the bench so that's fucked my theory up

    As a Pearce owner and a QLD supporter, I'd be a pissed off ARey if I lost my spot to Pearce. After my first series in the jumper and being solid in the position, I've got a better kicking game (long and short), and I haven't been a decent part of the last 10 fucked up NSW SOOs.

    I'm really hoping Arey can string a few weeks like last week cause if the teams were selected in the next two - I reckon Arey would have it.

    If the spot was his to lose - I don't think he has lost it

    Any chance Des is just "pulling a Des" and Frawley makes his way into the 17 if not 13 gameday?
    Thank god it is the first game! I have a feeling he just can't carry Frawley this week because Souths have a big pack and he will need the 4 forwards on the bench. If he is left out, I am really hoping Dogs get pumped (also because i'm a bunnies fan!) and Frawley comes in next round, making him the perfect tradeout for a departing Jacks with Munster looking fit again.
