This is what you came for!!

Just on Rhyse Martin averaged just under 50 in NSW Cup last year, playing 72 minutes a game. That doesn't include goal kicking. For some comparisons sake Kikau averaged 50.5 (playing less minutes), Murray averaged 51.2 playing about the same. Job security the biggest issue.

Shit I'm stumped this week guys.

I'm getting rid of Dufty, and want a non playing cash maker, who I can upgrade in a month or 2, maybe cover round 13 in an ideal world. Lane fits the bill, but I'm not that confident in him playing the big minutes and scoring consistently.

Su'a doesn't play round 13, but is nicely priced still, and 40 last week on base stats is nice. Gillet is out for a long time if I remember correctly, so if he goes well he shouldn't lose much when McGuire is back. Averaging 40 he'll jump $100k in only 3 weeks.

Or do I just play it safe and get RTS straight in, by next week Sua would not be worth it.

Haven't been able to keep up with the talk - whats the deal with Martin? is there a suggestion he'll be starting? what position?

Wasn't the supposed make up meant to be leaning towards Jackson at lock in place of Elliot, so he can be closer to Woods and Klemmer. Then Martin moving to the edge forward role, opposite RFM.

Oh and he will be kicking goals of the Dogs can score.

I may have dreamt this up

Haven't really look at him myself, but Cogger seems to be a popular option for a non-playing cashmaker. Knights are scheduled to play Rd 13, so extra points there over Su'a/RTS. Frees up more cash than Lane. Just the Lamb factor..

Rumour I heard is Martin to SR, Jackson to LK and Elliot to bench for final team lists. They play tonight, so can find out for sure.

Struggling to decide between DCE and Taumalolo for a trade in this week lads. Both play round 13 so ideally would like them both but straight up probably prefer Surgess to Taumalolo. Any advice?

DCE:
Pros-
Locked in keeper half. Should be in the top 2 all year.
Has only had one shocking score and has a solid base due to tackles, kick metres and goal kicking

Cons-
Highish B/e. Should still lose some cash
Drama at Manly. With everything going on we don't know who his halves partner will be. If it is Walker he should retain bulk kick metres and scores. If it is Hastings(or Carney) he will lose a heap of kick metres and probably still be a keeper but less reliable.

Taumalolo:
Pros-
We have all seen what he can do. Capable of a 60 point average going forward.
Lowish B/e should be the cheapest we see him for the rest of the year barring injury.

Cons-
Minutes are all over the place. Some games he is playign 65+ and putting out high base stats. Some games he is playing 50 odd and relying on attacking stats.
Needed a try verse Titans to avoid another sub 50

With Lichaa out there are some reports Jackson to lock to shore up the middle of the field defense with Martin coming on to an edge. Good goal kicker. Whether he holds that spot is the big issue and what sort of minutes does he get. Locks at Bulldogs normally play about 40-50 but you'd have to think Jackson will play more so Martin may not just get Jackson's 80 on the edge. And if they lose tonight who knows what Pay does next!

OK, not a big deal cause I guess we will find out for sure in 12 hours or so, but how much weight can we put on this? i.e. where did this come from?

Cause we've heard a number of things out of the Dogs this week: JMK dropped, Lichaa dropped JMK at hooker, Frawley at hooker.....

Obviously it sounds like this kid could be worth a punt if he starts so just trying to come up with a plan should that happen!

A couple of random questions here in the context of current discussions, but would appreciate if anyone can help out here;

1. What is the likelihood of I.Luke playing this week? And if it's unlikely, is there any possibility at all he’ll be out a few weeks, or definitelty back next week?

2. How long is J.Tevaga meant to be out for?

I know it’s a massive risk, but i like the idea of a punt on Lawton, but only if he can be guaranteed at least a few weeks, even from the bench, raking in Tevaga’s numbers.

What are the odds?

Pretty reasonable chance Luke is back next week. I think Kearney said 50/50 for this week so based on that probably very unscientific assessment I'll say at least a 75% chance of next week...

Have you considered Lane?

I think it was on NRL 360 last night, James Hooper.

He's 228k. Unless you really need the cash surely its a one week wait and see?

Good form in lower grades + a chance at kicking goals is great but we don't even know why the shuffle is happening. If Pay were more honest I'd feel better having a go this week.

Although it is mighty tempting to get a base price cow with good prospects instead of Capewell who has similar if not worse job security (in the long term).
