Billings to Gray?

Is Billings to Gray worth it?

Normally I'm really happy to go hard with trades on rookies early and hold as much as possible with prems. But I am not sure Billings is gonna be a top 12 fwd at this stage. As well, my fwd line is absolutely rank, with Walters, Dahl, and Billings F1-3.

Gray, Menegola, then even guys like Heeney and Mundy so far looking like locks by end of season. Is it worth pulling the trigger now before Billings goes down - or will he average 90+?

Another factor is there are a few prems to target in coming weeks - Neale, Merrett, Crouch, even Franklin after throwing up 50 last night - so a bit of extra cash could help, too.

This is killing me!

Thanks in advance   ;D

If you had the money you should have grabbed Heeney , Gray is good but you have his bye R10 and the ability to throw a 40 or 50 from time to time , what about Greene ?

I haven't been convinced about Heeney. Although evidence is starting to rack up now. We all make mistakes I guess, will target him soon I think.

I'm wary of Greene's tendency to miss games and have some doubt about his consistency. Averaged 96 or something last year though, if I remember. Worth it? Or better to hold Billings?

Hold Billings, at worst he becomes F7 & this year I reckon we'll need depth in the forward line. Grab Gray after his bye, perfect round 11 target.

Hold, will show you why today :P

Heeney has tonned up every week ? pretty convincing as for Billings you would hope the Saints start to change things up and just put him in the mids full time , just go with your gut  ;)

ubeaut

If the trade didn't cost 80k I'd be doing it. If I didn't have other issues to deal with last round I'd have done it then 100% as it was basically a straight swap.
Last week was the time for this trade imo.
Now the cost isn't quite worth it as it's 80k less for upgrades.

Just made the trade, my rank is shower and it won't get any better by being "safe" and playing the waiting game!

God I hope so

Decided to hold - zero confidence but following the rules for now. If I have to burn him later surely he gets to 450k again anyway. Fingers crossed

Not getting the mid time. Scored okay as a fwd today but geez I wish he kicked better at goal. Could've kicked 4.

no eye deer

Billings BE 146. Scored 85.

Gray BE 65. Scored 137.

I’d call that a good trade.

Was hoping to bring in Gray this week but might fall short on cash now :(

Comes in after his bye now
