All the SC professionals. I have missed the boat on T. Adams. Taking Lloyd, Laird and Shaw.
I currently have 389k in my kitty. Should i look at adding him to my Def. Will trade out Stewart and Pickett for Balic

Huttabito

Seems a reasonable trade to me.

Ringo

Reasonable trade to me. Has a very low Standard deviation so far this year high of 122 low of 111. Looking at Marchbank to Adams next week myself.

Started with Howe over him as a POD, but will be trying to get Adams in soon.

Still a worry with his injury proneness, but looking like a must have

I opted for Howe as well at the start of the season, even had to chance to trade NRoo to him Rd2 and didn't. Wasn't trading an injured player to an injury prone one.

If he continues the way he's going though, it's going to start hurting not having him in the backline. Comes in this week into the MIDS for me and getting flung back to DEF next week when I cash out on Marchbank/Hampton.

I didn't start with him, he's been super solid, but I keep thinking the longer he goes doing this well the closer he is to the next injury and I'm sure that'll be the week I decide to bring him in.  ::)

HoleMeal

It's him or Stef Martin this week for me.
Can't decide which one.

My thinking as well haha. I had no doubts about his scoring (although was expecting a 100-105avg, not this...), but didn't pick him as I thought he would get injured eventually. If I bring him in, it will be in the back half of the year as one of my last upgrades. Ideally after he has returned from a minor injury and dropped in price a little :P

same here ringo

Hawka

I think everyone without Adams will be looking to bring him in ASAP, il have a look once Otten/ Hampton have maxed out

I am now unsure on Shaw (will he pick up???)
Newman looks  like a keeper  so a sideways Shaw to Adams???
Cannot afford Adams otherwise
Marchbank, Otten Hampton are not cooked yet IMO
I keep looking over my shoulder at Roberton too!

Torpedo10

I still see Heater getting to 100 as an average. He is bound to have big games, unfortunately his lesser ones were early in the season.

Adams seems to score really well in losses when no one steals his points, will be interesting to see if the Pies can lift whether he can take it to another level or whether it might hinder him.

I'm prepared to look at more than four rounds for this. Remember Aaron Hall?

This isn't another Aaron Hall scenario. Adams is inside and contested, Hall was/is outside and uncontested. Completely different players. SC rewards the players who do the grunt work. Hence his great scoring so far. He isn't playing on a back flank like previously, he's doing what he was recruited to do as his body is finally allowing it.
