I originally had plans, coming into this week, for one up and one down but have reassessed the thinking.
My original thinking was a need to grab a premo before they get out of reach but my thinking has now switched to double down, get the rookies while they are there and look at the premos when it better suits my team, not when they are at a "discount".
Although I'd like the premo points this week, I can start regenerating the rookie cash and buy premos without compromising my team.
Hope that helps anyone having trouble deciding this week!

I posted last week in one of the threads saying that I know for a fact Dan McKenzie had/has been assured by Ratten that he walks back into the Saints side when fit. He obviously had the one week suspension, and was due to return last week but had a calf complaint. I just checked the injury list and he isn’t on it this week, so suspect he’s a chance for this week. Whist not the same role that McKenzie has been playing, there’s also Geary as a pure number who probably comes into the side when fit and ready.
So overall for mine, Byrnes JS is too much of a worry for me to jump on his week. At this stage anyway.

Still not sure about Titch vs Jelly.
Jelly I can see scoring higher than Titch but has role and injury risks attached. Cogs can replace Ward and De Boar can play as a forward tagger. But what happens when De Boar needs to tag an opposition mid?
Titch got very, very lucky last game with how it placed out. A tremendous number of uncontested groundball gets cause neither teams kicked well, which awards the same points as a contested possession, and much higher than his typical handball receive. Will not happen nearly as frequently again.

Hi Guys & Gals, thinking of bringing in Josh Kelly but worried about durability. He has averaged well in the past when on field but I expect he will miss up to six games (maybe) and you will be forced to field a rookie scoring 60 at best.
Doing the maths this will bring his overall average down from 114 to 99 for the year.
He is at a great discount but if he misses games in future that discount will be nullified to a greater degree.
Am I thinking correctly on this? Surely I am missing something!

yeah, JS important for rookies right now. Trade a Warner and the replacement may not be there. Need to focus on the weaker rookies.
However, do no trades, and how do you upgrade around the byes, as quality of rookies is even poorer at that time.
Hard to Trade any of Warner, Scott, Powell, Rowe or the cheap ones that I haven't gone up in price.

Kelly is soooo tempting. I started with him as he’s such a classy SC friendly player and had a plan to trade him out at the first sign of injury. I traded him out because he was being played out of position with the potential to lose a lot of money. Now he’s back playing a good role and scoring well 🙃 The issue for me is he’s 8 games nearer an injury - not inevitable though but it’s a miss for me unless you have spare trades.
