Because this was his first real big game. Every player can sometimes just have that one game which goes well for them, and unless they have a history of consistency, any big scores particularly at the start of a season or a shift to a new role should be taken with a grain of salt

Yeah Foran back has been my only way to swing it really, and then it swings back when i realise its the cowboys

True, but Cowboys have never been a super defensive team like the Broncs. They usually let in a few tries (especially in the first half). Maybe they will give old Gutho one before they fire up and blow Parra off the park in the last 20 mins

What to do with Bryce Cartwright??? If I do some switcharoos now I can get him out for Jake Trbojevic via creativity. To panic trade or not???

I can't recall a game where Carter played 80 minutes before last week, but I could be very wrong.

May be the turning point and becomes a genuine fantasy asset

As much as I like Jturbo I would wait at least a week on Carty. See how he will be used and how he goes. Less minutes but given more attacking reign could be wonders for him. Or he could end up back starting next week. Or he could come on after 20 and play out the game. You selected him for a reason, not whoever starts at right edge forward for the Panthers so don't trade him when he hasn't done anything wrong yet

played a few fairly big minute games for the Titans a while back, will give him a week to see minutes and role before potentially grabbing him next week

I would hold. Might mkae a bunch of TB's or get a try and go boom. If it is a failed experiment and he is back to 80 next week you will feel silly. His BE isn't so bad that he will lose a whole heap of cash even with a poor score

Cartwright will probably come on after 15 mins and play out the rest of the game

Completely agree but the fact that he hasn't played 80 before (like you I could be wrong) is the reason I would hold off at least a week. Wait and see if he can back it up or if it was just a one off big game for him. Also Surgess back to lock may have some impact as may Gurgess back into the front row

Yeah true don't want to panic trade, just wanted to get some tips. Hold him I shall

Without saying what I want to say about Merrin for fear of jinxing him because he is in my team but....with that back row....

Exactly. Wait and see how he is used guys. Don't panic trade him when he hasn't done anything wrong yet

jstands wrote:Why does everyone keep saying that Carter will average 30-35 when he made more in tackles in a game that had 50 points

Because Carter has played more than 1 first grade game in his career, and they expect him to revert to his average and not maintain his highest ever score.

I wonder if Holland will goal kick, wouldnt think so but you never know.

Maybe I will hang on to LAM on more week and just spend the one trade

For those asking the question, don't play Green if he starts on the bench as named.

Likely for 20 mins and F-all points

Boys, save your trades. Sir Ethan Lowe has dyed his hair blonde(for charity). If he runs on with blonde hair, headband and manbun he is a must have

RCG talking smack to Tolman.

Hope he gets belted on his first carry
