Round 18 is over and we are 3/4 of the way through the season. Just 6 weeks to go and 2 before SC finals start.
A bit of carnage this week with injuries and suspensions will cause some issues as trades are hard to come by.
If you’re in need of a rookie I suggest bringing in a basement priced player. Provided you have decent cover on most lines that is. Harvey is the number 1 guy this week, he has played 2 great games and looks ready to take his chance to cement his spot. Other than that Steele or Adams don’t seem to have solid job security but are cheap enough options still.

Hall backed up his 2 massive scores with another good one. 15 touches, 3 tackles, 5 score involvements and kicked 3 goals.
