Am i nuts for concidering Ryder?

[Crows84]

I have no real basis for picking him just a gut feeling he may be worth while this year. His nab cup game seemed ok and im thinking of going with him as a unique as i dont think many will have him. If i do though i will either have to take out Hmac or a prem ruck.

My overall structure is currently

Team # 31

3-2-2
3-1-2
1-1-0
3-2-2

with rookies on the bench

So the team is quite risky already so i am allready going to be rolling the dice on a few mids pricers.

thoughts? Hmac to Ryder or Prem to Ryder, or steer clear?

also $489,500 left over at this stage

Wouldn't touch him personally, could be good though if he can get a few more touches and we start performing better and more consistently.

He is playing for his career at bomber land. There were trade rumours surrounding his name during trade week so he might step it up a notch this season. Could go either way.

2 risky with that structure mate. hmac will probably score more than ryder anyway IMO

[ronl]

I had that same gut feeling last year.  Never again.

[yorgis]

no

[rider]

Yes

[Capper]

yes alot better options out there

[chaosAD]

Get him mate, he's a star just like his cousin Liam Jurrah! They are winning at life

[egosbar]

not a bad risk unique could pay off well

[Big_Shazza]

had him last yr and totally burned me, such a frustrating player never again!

[Artax]

Pretty handy tonight...

[Crows84]

I know after last season many people had him named in their permenant blacklist but i never had him last year so have never suffered the pain. His game tonight is what i would be expecting on average from him, 80 odd with a maybe 6 or 7 games 100+ and quite likely several 60-70pts. Thing is he should play all 22 games again this year barring injury. With his price his on the fringe between prem and mid pricer so for an average of 80 odd to me sounds about right

[azza707]

he finished last year in very good form and backed it up again with another solid performance last night. so really, there is something there to suggest he could be a good value pick, but in saying that is one the more riskier picks. impossible to say which way he will go.

expect him to play a little more forward i reckon with his speed and mobility, while bellchambers and hille take most of the ruck work.
