I'm still locked in on Coates with the long game in mind. I ended up with 16 players twice last year during non-bye rounds because of Teddy, Ponga and maybe someone else out. Had Brimson as cover, but still wasn't enough. Seen a few people only have 16 this year too.
Also possible Coates has the highest score this week if he jags a try and the others just have solid games. I'm banking on 2 games for Coates and the possibility that he saves us in a random round later in the season.
SJ also likes a niggle, so we'd have Ponga to cover him (when back), but then Teddy, Tom and RTS could go down for a 1-2 weeker too and Coates could emerge the better overall option even if he kinda sucks.
Walters and Kerr would only be 1 gamers, so they'd need to put up Munster or Vaughan type performances to feel worthwhile, but could be surpassed by Coates if we end up needing him for 2 or 3 games.
