Best mid under 528k?

[Brenny G]

I really need to upragde Hooker this week and he will most likely become Hanley, I have to offload Watson this week as well, this leaves me searching for the best mid under 528k.

Mids currently are: Gaj, Stevie, Beams, Watson, Barlow, Ebert, N.Jones and Polec

Thoughts..?

I'm currently leaning towards goddard, but then theres also jelwood..

Didn't notice it was a 2 vote poll haha, I'd say Joey (voted), & Prestia (unique factor) with Ward & Kornes not too far behind

Jelwood could come back hard however, Goddard is consistent but I think the Bomber's second half fallout has inevitably commenced this season with Watson's injury serving as the catalyst

Fyfe > Sloane > Gibbs could also serve well in that order, but can play an undesirable amount of poor games

Wouldn't trust Sidebottom, basement is too low, plus Beams, Pendles & Swan are tough competition

Macrae is a no-go. I think the only time you could consider him was round 1-4 of the season.

Personally, I think Jelwood may not be the best but they are all high risk v. reward mids. 1st approach, save cash this week & bring in a more reliable mid next week (wouldn't personally pick up any of them). 2nd approach (if the first isn't an option), go Jelwood, he'll be the most likely to come back hard for the 2nd half but still entails a lot of risk. He would be my pick in that situation. Prestia would make a strong POD but he could end up with an annoying high-90 average & Joey could fire again but the biggest reward would be likely to come from placing your chips on Jelwood

Also, it's hard to ignore Goddard's fine history & strong form, I just have a subjective hunch he & Heppell will breakdown. I'll leave it to the other users to state a case for him instead because I haven't really read too much into him :)

Hope this helps

Yeah that is just one option, the other is I leave Watson for this week and uprgade Hooker to Hanley and downgrade Langford to litherland or someone cheaper as D8? that would leave me at least 140k spare and the ability next week to go Watson -> Rockliff which I'd prefer to do

But...That would mean I would have to play Zach O'Brien or Jake Lloyd this week, which could be very hit and miss

YES!!! That is ideal man, Hooker was never going to be a premium & Hanley is a guaranteed 87-99 average. Rocky is a gun & is reliable as ever. Do you have Claye Beams or any DPP players you could sub into the midfield?

Yeah I know, haha he was only ever going to be a temporary fix but he's been killing me lately, unfortunately I don't have any DPP mids which is annoying because all of my fwds are DPP!!So I'd be stuck with Lloyd or O'Brien

You could take the punt on Lloyd & hope he isn't vested, incredibly risky though, I think either way is a risk v. reward play hahaha you could either win/win, win/lose or lose/lose haha or maybe even achieve the same score going a sub $528k player as you would combining Lloyd & Rocky hahaha. Personally, if I were in your position I'd probably take the punt on Lloyd, but you really need to think about this in depth  :-\ Fortunately you have the whole week to decide (my biggest dilemma this week is Pendles for consistency or Treloar because he just looks cooler in a line up (although I can pretty much predict Pendles will score more out of the two (99% I'll go Pendles hahaha).

If I can leave you with my final thought it's... Rocky is worth the risk  ;) I personally wouldn't trust any of the players mentioned in the poll to score +100, 50% of the time. It's an upset when Rocky scores like he did this week hahaha

[GoLions]

MY BOY JACKY REDDEN

Of those though, I'd probably go Jelwood, Ward, or Fyfe

Or do what you just suggested before so that you can get Rocky ;)

[d.clohesy]

Goddard, jelwood, cornes

Probably leaning toward this option atm, do you think it is worth downgrading Langford all the way to a 115k player and make an extra 53k or just stick with litherland, he does have questionable JS long-term but he should play for next couple of weeks, and could just downgrade him then?

I think I just convinced myself haha :)

I think go Litherland, don't hold him for too long though, Langford has peaked

These trades have just flown out the door and with cox and polec out now, honestly have no idea what to do atm, I've spent the last hour reversing my trades because nothing is working, options I've looked at include:

• Watson --> Hanley (Burgoyne DPP)   +   Cox --> Mummy (J.Lloyd cover for Polec)
• Polec --> S.Martin (Parker DPP)(Martin <--> Thurlow Ruck/Fwd to cover Cox)(Shenton Playing FWD)   +   Watson --> Rockliff
• Cox --> Martin   +   Watson --> Rockliff (J.Lloyd cover for Polec)

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated
