I've narrowed it down to these three as an upgrade for Marty Clarke.  I have cash in the bank to only use one trade as well, which is always handy.  So yeah, which one of these three is likely to average more for the rest of the season?  I've listed the draws that they all have remaining.

I'd personally go Shaw, I hate him but he dominates in big games and can hit a big score that can win you games.

Shaw scores really well and cant really compare the other two to him.

Already have Scotland but yes, Carrots will be my final upgrade in defence.  Just waiting for Darley to gain more cash and Carrots to fully bottom out then I'll jump on.

That's what I'm worried about.  He's the most expensive of the three as well.  If I go him I'll be left with $4,700 but if I go Suckling I'll be left with $53,300 and going Heppell will leave me with $63,600.  Shaw, on his day, can score well, but so can the other two.  Shaw's really low scores for which he's famous for really scare me.  Suckling and Heppell can also have bad weeks, but I don't think their low scores are as bad as Shaw's.  Hmmm, tough decision...

its me lads

Suckling, personal favourite, love Heppel as well but Suckling can manufacture bigger scores more often, i just dont like Shaw, bad reputation, pokies, injuries this year.

Funnily enough, before making this thread I had Suckling ranked 1st, then Heppell then Shaw.  The poll, as it is right now, is the complete opposite, lol.

i picked Suckling and have him atm. Has a nice ceiling and they look to use him out of the backline.

KoopKicka

Id pick Suckling as he has the bigger ceiling

Suckling or Shaw.

I would lean towards Suckling with the junk time. You just don't want to see Shaw being tagged out of the game.... Or getting suspended...... Or missing games.....

Suckling is still the go-to man sometimes at the Hawks, and junks up really well if he doesn't do well for the start of the game.
