    I had my eye on JRey pre-season too. Never actually made my team, but if he can drop a bit of coin and then get starting five-eighth there are some good points/cash on offer.

    hes already under 500k so any more he drops before starting is a bonus!

    I don't see how in any way. It's not like Lodge can play second row. Depends how fit Taga is and how many minutes he can produce.

    Going old school DT before the Reverse Trades button came in and using a calculator to work out trades/cash remaining because I don't trust FanHub to allow me to reverse mid round this year.

    JMK owners-I've been looking for a reason to ditch Niko. Not being an owner I haven't watched him like a hawk, but I do remember a couple of times he went very close to scoring over the last month?

    That 8 in 80 has me spooked. I can grab MBye or DCE now no dramas, or I can grab JMK as another cashie and hope he averages his 40 he is capable of. Thoughts anyone?

    If I go JMK my bank will be 1 million cheer

    Somebody answer the man!

    (I am also somewhat interested in JMK. Originally had Mbye in this week but thinking of reversing and getting Matterson next week instead. But loathed to play Croker from the bench. Can do Isaako or Croker to JMK, who will play this week and just be a cashie from then on. Both trades feel a little sideways tbh)

    I cant really answer but i did get get JMK straight away. He looks busy in the way that he seems to accumulate points but with no real pattern. Obvs has a low game in him though. Hoping that isnt this week.

    Yeah, would feel sideways based on current averages but JMK the most likely to average 40 plus it feels.

    Anytime you make the number 1 spot everything goes out the window. Hope you can stay there for end of round (and season).

    On a side note damn that's a nice team you have. I really like where you've spent your money to have such a strong 17 this early in the season. Keep it up!

    I wouldn't own Kodi if I had that much bank Shocked

    JMK's 8 was a shocker though, but I still played him last week hoping it was just an anomaly.

    If he manages a 35 average, then making over 200k or closer to 300k with a 40 average is possible.

    The Sezer rumoured added some uncertainty before, but think that's died down again?

    I do like points though, so JMK still has value next week if you'd prefer Mbye or DCE's points this week.

    I got JMK from the start. Been in my third WFB spot since. Haven't watched especially closely since been away/drunk but has looked dangerous at the line a couple of times. Job security still iffy even though he looks solid, especially after we belt the dogs up in Townsville. I'm happy I got him, not sure if i would bring him in now though.

    Forgot the limited sample stats for JMK.. but I figured 29 points in 38 minutes combined from the first two games off the bench, backed up by a 41 in 80.. then the anomaly game.

    38 points last week, kind of a bullshit TS imo, but whatever.. seems like he could average that 35-40 based on a pretty tiny sample..

    That's the conundrum. Points V Dollars as I find myself in a pretty unique situation with that bank, which in turn means I can follow a different strategy to most.

    I'm actually happy to fall back points wise a bit to be honest if I have the bank to upgrade to Guns once we know who they are this season. The down side is if I don't pick up predicted guns now then I just pay more for them later hence circumventing the big bank. If that makes sense?

    Catching up on all the bitching and moaning from last night and this was definitely the most intelligent thing posted.

    Yeah I hear ya man.. It's not a sprint and you've outranked me every year, but felt I needed to chime in as a Kodi and JMK owner Laughing

    I'm leaning spend the bank and get a gun, so my shortsightedness (word of the day) for points probably means JMK is the right move Razz

    Didn't think to look at those first two bench games like that, that actually helps him get in my trousers.

    Don't think it's only because of injuries, but it may still be a factor. He had a few consecutive 80 min games at SR last year and averaged 50 in those. Also played CTR at times and came off the bench, so it's still a roll of the dice.

    If he has the occasional 60 min game this year, he can probably still average around 50, especially if you got him this week or last, but bringing him in now, it could still be a gamble whether he averages 50 from now on.

    SST went down in the warm-up and Nat Butcher played 29 mins where SST normally plays close to 50, so may have affected the rotation.
    What if you started the season with him? cheer

    Although we knew it, seems RFM has secured his role and 80 minutes. Seems like a hold for those looking to rush him off for JFH. Lodge or Griffin probably the ones to make way. RFM could be just getting going.

    Yeah I used that theory to hold onto Parcell a few years ago when he started the season with two 40 min games off the bench.. It's a watertight theory Very Happy

    I figured the 29 in 38 might be boosted by taking advantage of tired forwards, so obvs not looking at it like 60 in 80 or anything.

    Great pick-up. Also if you got him this week and especially last week, it's going to be hard for him to not average 50 for you guys.

    Getting him now that he's priced at a 50 average could piss a lot of people off if he only averaged 45ish from now on due to lack of tries or being moved to CTR for injuries, while cheaper options like Pearce, Munster, Mbye etc. may average better for cheaper.
