Team Name: The Kraken 2015 Ranking: 6931 (clawed back from rubbish starting team and ~45k ranking pre byes) 2014 Ranking: 217 (Top 70 until injury tsunami hit - that'll teach me to have only 2 trades left at rd 19) Played in SCC#2 and SCC "JJ" in 2015

Yeah that's a big IF though, Leuey has missed 46 games over the last 4 years! Kinda tempted to stick him in the FWD line as R/F cover - because this worked SO well with TBC last year, what could go wrong (apart from everything)? Leuey priced at 58.. probably worth it if he can average 90+ - in...

Personally i don't think i can start with Heater - personally prefer to upgrade to him instead. Last year (112 avg) was a big jump over his 92-101 average from 2011-2014.. and because the Magic Number decreases during the year (**), Heater will have to increase his average to 115/116 just to...

Martin averaged 118 in the games without Leuenberger - so while he's pricey there is upside to his price (priced at 2015 avg of 111).. Personally leaning towards a Martin/Goldy combo - Goldy also expensive but averaged 142 over last 14 games - so IMO he can arguably justify his price tag (priced...

That's my thinking - Gawn as F6 or F7/ruck back-up (via rookie R/F at R3 (like everyone else)). My rucks are Goldy and NicNat, Gawn would not be on the field in my RUC line..

There's been a lot of questions (including from me) about whether Gawn is this year's Stef Martin. Perhaps wishful thinking and probably not a great idea to expect the same stellar output (111 avg onwards as soon as he came in post-bye), but as someone who rode Martin as an extremely handy F6...

Believe that's true - look at the Krakouer re-upgrade yesterday. Saints not playing this week obviously so they don't need to re-upgrade him until Thursday next week. Been a pretty good player for them this year, would be surprised personally if he wasn't back next week..

Thanks for your thoughts gents. Have somehow managed to talk myself into Shaun Higgins instead - which means (based on my chequered history with him) he'll do a knee 5mins into the 1st quarter. Good luck!

Stuff my idea, Brooksby out injured. Bellchambers to a mid rookie (Kavanagh or Boston) and throw Krak forward - easy

Anyone looking at young Brooksby as a potential trade-down from TBC? (Like many people i made the mistake (in hindsight) of starting with TBC in my FWD line as RUC cover - with a R/F rookie as R3. D'oh.) Brooksby seemed to play a mix of forward and back last week - and with GC's enormous...

Looking at Mackie this week as a cheaper potential backline premium. looks to have bottomed out at ~$434k (priced to average ~80), posted 100s in his 2 previous games, average impacted by green vest in his 1st game back after injury in week 8. Still "only" 30 and has been pretty durable prior to...

Oh certainly a lot can change over the rest of the season and post/pre season too, just thought i'd share... And yes, my early thinking about 2016 may indeed be correlated with my dismal 2015 ;-)

Our teams are going to be PIMPED next year.. (Using 2015 Magic Number for illustrative purposes, and obviously dependent on performance over rest of 2015: ) (1) Assuming previously used 30% discount for missing whole season, Libba would be ~$415k (priced to average 77), O'Meara ~$368k (68), and...

*nicely, not nearly Hibbo only 25 and has gone at >90 for previous 2 years, prepared to back him at this relatively low price, Kelly should be safe for 85-90avg at IMO decent value for his price - great spot

Like Kade, having owned him in previous years (like everyone else here no doubt) i know this isnt the last chance to get him - his odd stinker will have him back at this price point at some stage. Also want to see how the Blues play from here, effort (and SC averages) could spike nearly...

Can't take any more of Lumumba's "output", turfing him for Hibberd this week. Hibbo B/E 51, average 79 including Rd 1 warm up game and his poor game against the Saints. Bombers difficult start to the year, their run home is very good after the bye, going to grab Hibbo while he's low $400k. Broke...

I'm still having an existential crisis about it. Burnt by the Titch hype train last year (like many, no doubt) and while he has looked better in his 2 games this year, they've only been against WBD & Demons; Cats & Hawks in the next 2 weeks will be the real test for him. Personally i prefer...
