Last Week’s Events
Jack Redden was back to his best for the Lions with 33 touches and nine marks for a game high 131, assisted by his trademark tackles which contributed 20 points toward his total. Dayne Beams kicked two goals to go with 31 touches to score 119, while Stefan Martin looks to be the pick of the rucks as long as Leuenberger is out with another massive score of 116 including 42 hit outs. Unfortunately the biggest news was sour, with the luckless Fantasy Pig Tom Rockliff assisted from the ground before registering a score.
On The Radar
Due to a couple of quiet games to start the season where Martin shared ruck duties, he has dropped 51K despite having a three game average of 114. He is ripe for the picking with an achievable break-even of 93. Tom Cutler (DEF, $286,000) was solid in his second hit out with 61, leaving his break-even at 12, so he looks set to continue to rise in value.
Top 5 Scorers

What’s Coming Up?
Last time the Lions met the Blues, Captain Rocky dominated with 153, but his availability remains to be seen. Jack Redden and Dayne Zorko look set to continue their good form after scoring 120 and 114 respectively in their last encounter. Rucks have been finding scoring vs the Blues very easy, so expect Martin to go big again!
