Thoughts on the big Fijian?

bensl · May 30, 2014, 11:21:26 AM

seriously considering him for big boy. am i crazy? would be a nice little cash grab and surely he is on the up?

what are others thoughts on NicNat? is he on the improve? my concern is with trades getting thin, having him and sandi as rucks, one is bound to miss a game or 2.

53, 104, 64, 27, 107, 72, 54, 73, 80.

No thanks. Get Sauce in your life, or if you need a cut price option, Cox.

Definitely leave him alone now. He was a calculated risk at the start of the year, but not now.

The thought crossed my mind for a split second last week, but it was purely based on his price

Points first, price second

Grab Cox, Minson or Sauce if you can afford him

I think he is on the up but in saying that, I don't expect him to average more than 90 from now on.

I agree, on the up but not good enough for a ruck spot this year

Derickx to Nic Nat on the other hand, that would be a huge win.

i'd prefer to save the trade

monga77 · May 30, 2014, 12:32:39 PM

I'm currently thinking whether i should loophole derickxs 74 on for nicnat, that's how much confidence I have in him

no eye deer · May 30, 2014, 02:34:25 PM

He's killing me, but I'm stuck with him. :-\

bensl · May 30, 2014, 03:35:17 PM

the people have spoken! i think i would take a punt if i had a few more trades.

minson v cox v jacobs then. cant decide if sauce is worth the extra coin...

I went Hampson -> NicNat in yet another #yolo trade this SC season. 80 is serviceable and for the time being I'm fine to emg loophole him with Derickx!

FonFatty · May 30, 2014, 04:00:24 PM

For those with Derickx you will be able to sideways trade in a few weeks.
What is this world coming too ::)

I wouldnt be going near Cox. If Nic Nat continues to improve then Cox's scores will drop.

So it's between Minson and Jacobs. I reckon they will score similarly for the rest of the year so go for Minson who is 45k cheaper.

Don't think Nic Nat is the issue with Cox, it was Lycett who was destroying him as a SC premo. He now has back to back tons, looking good provided Simpson doesn't go with the ridiculous 3 ruck policy.
