    45 minutes average, 48 points priced at that too.
    Assuming people have Arrow/Kikau in the FRF then just wondering where the upside to him is?

    Consistently average and nothing wrong with that but assuming you have your FRF slot maxed then you are buying a bench spot.

    Not counting the other popular people like Murray/RFM then you can also get

    Harris,Fitzgibbon,

    Or 40-50k more gets you
    Surgess/Brown/Mannering/Guerra

    Cheaper options are players like James/Taylor/Vaughan with more potential as well

    Just not seeing where all the love for him has come all of a sudden, same on all the Facebook groups too

    I agree, you get what you pay for but I don't see huge improvement in either price or output. People considering him must have sublime front rows, considering I'm having to source the funds to get Fifita for $100k more

    maybe teams are thinking about having 2 frf's who play the bye round and see him as a replacement for rochow? (taupau would be in this mould) he was sinbinned last week so thats two 50 scores in a row without that. teams without a lot of bank will be looking at value and he may be 50k under

    but,, when browns back it may also reduce his minutes. and i agree, surgess looks a safer option in two weeks if he pulls his head in

    Bird's score of 5 doesn't scare you away  affraid

    Surely he cant play that bad again. There is an article saying he is down in confidence and when he got shifted to centre mid game he pretty much self destructed mentally.

    Unfortunately i brought bird in last week too. Hoping he gets his mojo back

    Is Burgess out for 2 or 3 weeks? literally only just bought him in.

    This weeks trades im thinking of being a bit wasteful. For mine Harris is an out. Has been a very good player to have from start of year, but a score of 8 will drag his value down, plus doesn't play rd13. Lock in Harris to Aitken then considering the following


    Surgess > Smith

    Or

    Cronk > Friend.

    Cook
    Arrow JFH
    Jurbo, RFM, Murray
    DCE, Maloney
    Aitken, Croker
    Teddy, Ponga, Hiku

    Kikau, Rein, Cronk, Nichols

    Surgess, Isaako, Gosie, Havili

    @Fortitude

    Seems like a waste to do Cronk - Friend this week where they might score the same and Friend will even be cheaper next week.

    Niko came on at 44th minute mark, shifted Bird to centre then.

    Macca got injured a few mins later (around 50th) which is when mcguire went to 9. Niko stayed at half. 

    I thought that was interesting but maybe bennett didnt want to have to use the change to bring opacic back on.

    The trouble with Cogger is Lamb is waiting in the wings. A couple of bad games Cogger could be out. Lamb and Watson did alot of preseason together before Pearce was signed.
    Cogger has also signed with Bulldogs for next season so you'd assume Lamb is going to get another shot at some stage

    It will be interesting to see how the broncos are going to line up, and when they bring on the utility

    Im running him in my 17  affraid

    But prolly a little expensive as a cash cow candidate now.


    If he makes more money than the other options, is it too expensive (and he's cheaper than Rein).

    If i went with him i'd likely play him this week anyway with SJ still on the sidelines.

    They don't trust KNik for 80 mins at hooker, so will play McGuire / Thaiday for the first v 20 mins

    I imagine Knights will line up as

    6 Cogger
    7 Lamb

    Does Lamb become the dominant kicker or do they share the duties? (They must have played together in ISP)

    I don’t really have the time to have a look before I trade one in. Needs to be this week.

    Any Knights fans got any insight or predictions of who will score better. Price isn’t a factor.

    If lamb is named I'm thinking

    Rochow > Dugan
    Havili > Lamb

    Just because
