    450 with 7 including (C)am to play.

    For the last few weeks I have had the best score in my Ctrs sitting on the pine. Can't pick it.

    IS there an issue going McGuire to Crichton this week?

    If both Ponga & CHN are named to start I might not trade this week.

    I own him & will trade him out before round 12 but I can see merit in upgrading him to a round 12 player like Gallen, Mannering, Crichton.

    My main interest atm is if CHN will be playing this week... I'm so glad the Panthers play on Thursday night

    If CHN starts with no Harris or Martin, I'm trading him in for Siro. Can't take it anymore.

    Only just doing OK IMO. Not scoring well enough to warrant holding through byes and SOO. To be fair to him, you'd want to be scoring pretty well to warrant it. There are a plenty of better options to use during that period that can do just as well after the bye period. Some of them cheaper as well. Not a hard decision at all to punt him. Plus he is germ.

    Wonder if Prozone will ever give Bukuya his try.

    Champion Data, NRLStats, Fox Sports and NRL.com all have him credited with a try (and I thought nrl.com sourced their data from prozone so not sure why the discrepancy there)

    Only Prozone are being slackers

    The Cleary factor obviously having a good effect on ET just like the old Panthers days. If ET can pull another 50 next game, is he worth trading in??

    Ben Hunt has begun running. Moving pretty well. Good signs for the Broncos halfback #NRL

    Eden Richards‏ @Eden_Richards  9m9 minutes ago
    Replying to @simo_393
    Round 10 realistically. He's striding out well doing laps of the field. Huge positive.

    I'm not a fan of ET but if I was going to trade him in it would be after round 12.

    I dont think he's worth bringing in. Many better options. I've had ET from the start and love him but I think 55 is going to be his top end score. He just doesn't get involved when tigers have the ball.

    I don't really think his scoring has changed. In rounds one and two he got 40's in 60 minutes and the jury is out on whether he would of played 80 if needed. The second of those games was injury affected.

    Only the 1 missed tackle too on the weekend helped obviously also.

    exactly.

    next week tigers have the sharks and no doubt he will earn a few missed tackles wehn leading the defensive line as fifita picks up a few tb's running across field Cool Either way the sharks will throw more at them in attack.

    Looks like I will have to stop looking for cut price keepers and look at Gallen. For byes he's the best of the bunch I think. Don't think I'll be able to downgrade a Suli or Kelly though and afford him to upgrade Siro after lockout. Yates looking to make more money so he stays, Winterstein going good too. Maybe Cotric, but he's good for round 12 and a try or two and his price gets going a little again. Ponga not worth trading out even if Coote is fit for the time being anyway I think.

    Lamb is an interesting one, a solid 39 so his price stays put. The halves are such are shit for downgrades plus I have Niko and Frawley in there also, so downgrading him I don't think is an option, unless Niko pulls out an 80 and gets some quick price rises.

    Saying that, I'm trading in CHN if he starts with no Martin or Harris, I don't give a shit, so dirty I missed out. I need some sort of peace of mind. bounce

    As MTB said, ET is too 1 dimensional. His score mainly comprises of tackling. He's may get the occasional tb or offload but he is rarely involved in attack. He's too small & doesn't run hard enough to bust or bend the defensive line & he's too slow to make an impact on attack. Therefore if he misses 3-4 tackles in a game his score is impacted. As Wolfking stated above he only missed 1 tackle v the Bulldogs so he got a good score but usually he'll be lucky to pass 50 points.

    George Burgess took the early guilty plea and will miss the next four matches. Turning out to be a disaster of a season for him. Madge must have had enough by now.

    Reckon JWallace be a good trade then? Wouldn't mind the extra cash trading him in. Only issue I have is Macguire is stuck in FRF so my options are limited. Already have Graham
