When are they ripe...?

[Justin Bieber]

Not really! Barlow looks atm that an 80 score will be about par (just an impression), which won't be much more than Basty and Martin, who have negative BEs, and there are some premiums out there at some nice prices. One more week I think.

Contemplating the same thing. Have a few premium as delicious prices ;).

Nice write up hawks_88 :). Nice to see others following your lead :D.

Nice work Juggs, and Gumby is spudding it up royally.

Can anyone comment on Waters and his changed role?

Looking back I think I predicted rather well.

Barlow
Clearly the question was answered, keeper. With an average that high if for some reason you don't yet have him he is still good value!

Bastinac
Without his great performance last week my round 9 trade would have been spot on. Now with a 105 in his rolling average after round 12 looks like when he will peak.

Waters
Sadly dropped off since my post and for me at least isn't really a potential trade give my luck with injuries. For those of you more fortunate, he has gained 200K so you wouldn't be losing anything by trading him now. A return to previous form could see another 50-80K over the season however I wouldn't bet on it.

Maguire
Great keeper. Was off by 5-10 points on his average. Great number 7 or even first bench. Not really anyone in his price range that is potentially any better for a straight swap so unless you have or need extra funds keep. Gotta wonder what Ross Lyon was thinking....

Banner
Those of you that still have him have waited and waited. That being said, unless multiple injuries necessitate a midfield trade, keep as 2nd bench as trades are too valuable at this point of the season. You are more than likely to be at a point when there is very little room for upgrades once his potential replacement is ripe for picking.

Peterson
Has been pretty good. A few people panicked when he was dropped with a score of 30 and and missed out on at least another 60K. Nearing trade time for me after this round. Not quite good enough to be a 7th but at this point. However he would make a good first bench, especially with Hooper's reoccurring injury and reports that he is a coaches pet suggesting that he should play the majority of the year.

Trengove (jack)
I suggested he was a short term without a big score. Well he got it and I traded him once it had left the rolling average for Hayes. With another 100+ in his rolling average he will probably put on another 30K from when I traded him after round 7 but if you got someone like Hayes for him earlier you probably got just as good value out of that if not more given it will be 5 rounds later. Trade after round 12 without another massive score.

Martin
Has still got a few more weeks to make some money although if you traded him 2 weeks ago you probably got value as well presuming you traded well. Will keep his spot so you can hold onto him as 1st bench or wait until a trade of real value comes along as he probably won't go downwards anytime soon.


Now for some newies

Trengove (Jackson)
I could never understand why people went for Lobbe over Trengove as a 4th ruck. Although he initially struggled, he has come back and player as more of a utility across half forward and done very well. Only really one more round worth of growth so if you have the trades, downgrade for some cash. Not worth an upgrade if he is your 4th ruck and his job security has firmed as a good 3rd ruck. If you want to downgrade and he is your 3rd ruck, trade this round for Skipper has he will almost definitely go up more than Trengove and has pretty good job security.

Davis (Phil)
Good pickup and makes a good 8th or 9th forward as his job security is pretty good. If you need the cash and have the trades, wait until after round 12 and you would have made ~200K.

Howlett
His job security is questionable. Give him one more round. If he scores poorly this round trade as his 100 will be out of the rolling average. If he scores 75+, you can safely give him one more round if the opportune trade isn't there. If it is though take it.

Podsiadly
Keep. What else is there to say.
