Tonight’s State of Origin 3 write-up is out (http://www.tipbetpro.com/#!State-of-Origin-3-Special/xtmz9/57850f470cf297558e0ba0a1) and tips soon (http://www.tipbetpro.com/#!current-round/kzu9o), and we also have our write-up out for the England v Pakistan test/series (http://www.tipbetpro.com/#!tips-and-bets/zxtux) – we’ve been busy.

Hmmmm, who don’t I like….

Firstly – I do rate this player, big big fan, so I hope he doesn’t get injured or something.

He has been an SC favourite for a while now, but didn’t have a great start to the season – but has come good now (or so it seems). Have somewhat missed the really cheap boat, but he is still good value at $525k – and don’t let that low-ish average of 106 put you off, as that was just due to the poor start. I am of course talking about Mr Sam Mitchell. If you do want him though, you better be quick as he plays on Thursday night!

Again, the format below is:
POSITION Name (CLUB) – current price (expected increase) – AVERAGE

DEFENDERS
Rookies:
F/D Matthew Hammelmann (BRL) - 117k (+18k) - AVG=41
DEF Mitchell Brown (WCE) - 134k (+18k) - AVG=45

Keepers:
DEF Rory Laird (ADE) - 489k (+10k) - AVG=98
DEF Kade Simpson (CAR) - 536k (+2k) - AVG=105
DEF Sam Docherty (CAR) - 550k (-9k) - AVG=108

Midfielders
Rookies: (none?)

Keepers: (There are lots of good mids – this list is not exhaustive… or even close)
MID Luke PARKER (SYD) - 521k (+24k) - AVG=111 (appears to have come good after his mid-year slump)
MID Sam Mitchell (HAW) - 525k (+20k) - AVG=106 (BoTW!! – so maybe avoid…)
MID Daniel Hannebery (SYD) - 540k (+7k) - AVG=115
MID Jack Steven (STK) - 545k (+1k) - AVG=108
MID Josh P. Kennedy (SYD) - 548k (-1k) - AVG=108
MID Lachie Neale (FRE) - 574k (-2k) - AVG=114
MID Joel Selwood (GEE) - 583k (-10k) - AVG=112
MID Rory Sloane (ADE) - 593k (-9k) - AVG=110
MID Scott Pendlebury (COL) - 606k (+5k) - AVG=119
MID Patrick Dangerfield (GEE) - 731k (-19k) - AVG=135 (Should come down a bit more, so you can wait)

Rucks
Rookies: none

Keepers:
RUC Todd Goldstein (NTH) - 532k (+1k) - AVG=112
RUC Max GAWN (MEL) - 578k (+3k) - AVG=117

Forwards
Rookies:
FWD Jack Silvagni (CAR) - 117k (+36k) - AVG=60 (I reckon 50%+ of teams will be bringing him in)
FWD Jarrod Garlett (GCS) - 185k (+21k) - AVG=58
FWD Patrick McGinnity (WCE) - 200k (+32k) - AVG=72 (A bit more expensive, but doing well)

Keepers:
M/F Aaron Hall (GCS) - 419k (+19k) - AVG=96
FWD Lance Franklin (SYD) - 464k (+11k) - AVG=97 (Not a massive fan of goal kicking forwards in SC – but it is Buddy after all)
M/F Dayne Zorko (BRL) - 518k (+1k) - AVG=111
M/F Zac Merrett (ESS) - 542k (+11k) - AVG=107
M/F Dustin MARTIN (RIC) - 578k (-14k) - AVG=109

Still a week away – either due to a bye, or only having played one game:
DEF Reuben William (BRL) - 102k - AVG=59
DEF Mitchell White (MEL) - 246k - AVG=84 (Will he be a mid-range downgrade?)
DEF Jack Grimes (MEL) - 414k - AVG=121 (Not a bad first game)
DEF Heath Shaw (GWS) - 535k - AVG=110 (Will come down even further – may be BoTW again soon)
FWD Oleg Markov (RIC) - 117k - AVG=75
FWD Liam McBean (RIC) - 151k - AVG=38
MID Ryan Clarke (NTH) - 117k - AVG=60
R/F Sam Naismith (SYD) - 124k - AVG=44
RUC Sam Michael (ESS) - 124k - AVG=58

So that’s Best Buys for this week.
