Does anybody else worry about Brayshaws lack of proven premium ability ?

He seemingly came out of nowhere last year (people expected improvement to a 90 type average). Its a lot of money to spend on someone with 16 games of proven scoring, compared to those around his price (M.Crouch, Merrett) who have years of experience scoring over 100.

Still find it hard not to pick him, but there is lingering doubt

I feel the same way but he just scores so high its hard to say no.

Yet to see how he truly copes with close attention. Surely teams aren’t stupid enough to let him run free to do as he pleases like he has in JLT so far...
 
Can all the players I want please stop scoring so well to make it a little easier. Now Rockliff is putting his hand up... do you get rid of someone like Taranto for him, pocket the 60k and move up someone like a Butters to Cousins?

Too many mids I want, could almost get rid of Macrae tbh
 
With Harmes out, anyone looking at Vandenberg as a forward option? Also, Scrimshaw not looking bad for that D6 position
 
Cousins looks awesome, could probably be better value than Libba now but I'll probably start with both.

Anyone else going mad with midpricers in defence? Started with Lloyd, Whit and Witherden. Witherden went out for BSmith and now I'm thinking Whitfield out for Newman haha. Just think Whit gets affected when Williams comes back in and Newman's role looks really good.

Vandenberg was on my radar somewhat actually, just can't see me finding room for him though. Currently have 3 'premos', 1 mid pricer and 2 rookies forward and can't see that really changing.

Was just going to mention this. Vandernberg looks a better option than Worpel now. But is he suspended for round 1? Remember hearing it somewhere but could be wrong

Watching Cousins I think you’re nearly forced to. Looks like a mini Titch popping up wherever the ball is. Rocky surely matches Taranto, possibly even betters him.

Currently have Smith, Williams and Ridley.. not sure how I'd manage to squeeze in Newman.
 
Problems now with backline rookies.. A few have put their hand up but 1. Are on the expensive side and 2. There’s no clear standout over the JLTs. Scrimshaw I’ve had since day 1 as he was the only one cheap enough and likely to play.. now there’s Clark and Duursma + Scrimshaw to fit into 2 places.

Yeah I got in Rocky in place of Taranto. Probably disrespected Taranto but we haven't seen the effect of Kelly in the midfield and Rocky just looked so good today. If that trade allows you to get Cousins then it makes it much easier to do, Cousins looking very good

Clark looks the safest bet out of those 3. Not completely sold on Duursma, I think his JLT1 is a better reflection of his scoring. There were so many easy marks to be had in today's game so that probably inflated Duursma's score. Scrimshaw killed it in the first quarter and then went missing. Don't really trust any def rookies which is why I'm trying to field only one of them, which would be Collins

Yep, I've had Newman, Williams and Smith in my side for a while. Also toyed with Mills, then there's Ridley too!
 
Balta ruling himself out. 13 points at half time with 94% TOG
Balls been played in hawks half basically. Wouldn’t completely rule him out just yet. Lots of chatter on tigers board that he should play and be relief ruck due to Grigg missing first 4-5 weeks of the season and not wanting lynch to ruck at all because of his knee
