Crichtonne out!

Netts 500k that could upgrade 3 of my mid rangers that are remnants of bye planning into guns for the run home. Crichton's base stats aren't better than any other guns unless we go down the slippery path of including tries as his base stats.

He may well average nearly 80 going forward, but he could also average 50 odd without tries.

The 3 mid rangers would probably be Lord Dale/Musgrove/Tolman to Taupau/Lolo/Fifita.
Thoughts?

Lightning never strikes twice mate.

Surely he can't Crichtonne again.....











Yes I am trying to jinx you.

I liked everyone's comment bar yours mate. But as the perpetual soft cock I couldn't actually bring myself to dislike it!

You do what you think is right mate. I think the points benefit outweigh keeping Crichton in your scenario. I'm doing something similar in round 20 as I'm trading McInnes to Smith.

Didn't the coach mention they would look at Brown for this week and hope Seggy is right in 19?

If you have 4 trades to use like that, go ahead. Assume you run Crichton/Dale/Tolman now and they score you 50/45/50 vs 60/60/60 you're up by 25 a week.
