He had that sleeve or whatever it was around his calf through the game. I can't recall a game this season when he hasn't limped at some stage, he came back on at the end of the game after limping off in that last quarter on the weekend. You'd have to put the durability question mark over him TBH, but he's still putting up decent scores even with Ryder in the team with him.
Im looking at 2 options.
1. Tex/Kozi Out, Poulter/RCD in. 522.5k itb
2. Tex/Kozi Out, Poulter/any premium i famcy on any line. Thinking Boak, Lyons or Stewart at this stage with an R12 bye the preference.
Option 1 allows some leeway for assessing options and a double UG next week. But the prospect of another premium score at the expense of someone like Scott on field is really appealling too.
Ive flirted briefly with the idea of aaron hall, but i think i will save that for my draft league off the waiver wire!
Any thoughts on the merits of the 2 options above greatly appreciated!

Here's hoping that Richmond can get some of that magic Hickey potion for Bolton...promotes miraculous recovery times ( former Hickey and current Bolton owner)
8 LTIs so far, not to mention all the STOs and DNPs like Martin, Daniel, Ridley, Flynn, Highmore, Meek, Fullarton, Clark, Hunter, Dow...and of course I managed to trade Koschitzke and Rowe out the very rounds they choose to have spike games...and that's just for starters
.
Still, I feel like maybe I'm one of the luckier ones so can't complain.
Down to 16 trades so Bolton goes to the bench for now. Like most, probably Poulter and RCD are targets this round.

Id be more worried about the Hall pick if there was safe forward premium options but really you cant bank on any of them not getting injured really when you analyse their last 12-18 months.
Zorko- calf and achilles concerns
Marshall- ongoing foot issue to manage and looked sore as **** late in the game on the weekend.
Sidebottom- already done a calf once and form has been patchy.
Greene- Multiple hamstring injuries last year and always a suspension risk.

Super keen on Kosi > Ridley but now thinking it'll have to wait a week, which should be fine given their breakevens.
Warner > Poulter
Mansell > Byrnes
Already have RCD, and think that Mansell might find himself out after a few blunders late in the game. Have liked him as a player but he's just not an SC scorer, already holding a few dead rookies (Highmore, Sharp, Macrae, Flynn, Waterman) so I need to get these 2 in and hope they can still around until round 14.
Leaves me with 378k so the Rids trade next week is easy, will probably flick Flynn next round too.

Normally a double downgrade this week would be a no brainer for me, but with Mitchells BE so low I'm wondering whether it's better to get Mitchell in now and just pay more for RCD/Byrnes next week. If everyone scores what they're supposed to then it looks like that move would cost me about $25-$30k more but would gain 50 odd points for having Mitchell on field over a rookie a week earlier. The problem is I have no idea which one is better, cash or points. This move also gives another week to have a look at which rookie is the best after 3 games, although on the flip side another week to look at Mitchell can't hurt either.
Got my eye on Weitering as well.

Midfielder/forward Zak Butters began running last week as he continues to progress his rehabilitation from a left ankle syndesmosis repair, but his return will be delayed due to the ongoing recovery of an associated nerve injury around his knee, sustained in the initial incident against the Tigers in Round 4.
The nerve injury has resulted in some lower leg weakness that, although continues to improve, will prolong the rehabilitation process'
