Latrell: Proven pedigree and kicks goals but inconsistent

Hopoate: Huge POD but plays for the Dogs

RTS: Top line gun but leaves me with no CTR cover at all.

I’ve had a shot at ranking your options:
1) Don’t sell Nikora
2) Don’t buy a Bulldogs back
3) Latrell (POD who can boom, with possible DPP on the way)
4) RTS (a really good option, but not owning a Bulldogs back is even more exiting!)

Great trades mate & a very good team. You have all the major guns & guys like Burns, CNK & Fainu are all in good form.

Thanks mate. Hopefully can help me climb a bit more if possible. Tempted to burn two more trades next week for a DCE or Turbo and leave 1 for injury and 1 for Fainu.

Hopa does this every year. Seems to have a tendancy to score in waves. Always has a purple patch but can never consistently keep it up.

I think I'll go Latrell, he's got the Knights, Dogs and Titans coming up and has Keary back there to give him good ball, plus I reckon the Chooks will click in the run home, plus it means I don't have to play Burns every week. I suspect a lot of the top teams will err on the side of caution and hold Nikora, but I think there are points to be had in selling him to Latrell, who has a much higher ceiling and kicks goals.

My team will look like this: 3 trades, ranked 247th overall.

Cook
Fifi, Haas
Lolo, Jurbo, Murray
SJ, Wighton
Latrell, Bateman
Ponga, Teddy, To'o

CS9, McInnes, Fainu, Tevaga

Burns, DBrown, Munster, Walters

Latrell for me due to his ceiling & with the Roosters upcoming draw he should post some boom scores. Plus he's now trying a get a bit more involved in the game & following the ball.

This was probably already mentioned but it looks like Farnworth is getting dropped (or benched) for Glenn to go into the centres.

Also Wacko saying To'o in some doubt with an ankle injury.

Yeah, I had a look at the Chooks draw coming up and it seems a no-brainer. It also helps that almost no top teams have him, so that makes him sort of a POD despite being over 30% owned. I'm trying to make up ground from 247th and playing safe won't gain me any spots.

Not sure if mentioned re To'o owners. In the DT late mail they said To'o is in some doubt with an ankle injury & C. Crichton on standby.

There seems to be a lot of relevant players "in doubt." I know it's only Wacko and half the time he's wrong but still worrying.

Thoughts on Milf for rest of season with DPP? Worried Warriors game was huge outlier. Was getting Moses last week but chickened out with only 4 trades left and now wondering if still get him or the DPP cover

Doesn't Christian Crichton play for the Dogs now?

It says Stephen Crichton, whoever that is.

Also to climb those ranking Latrell would be an excellent pod captaincy choice & with the titans, bulldogs, warriors & dragons coming up you could captain Latrell in any of those games.

Genuinely excited for Milf and Haas tonight.

Yea, saw that. Not needing him to play this week for my team. I thank him for his contribution last week though!

Against the Dragons might be a seriously POD captain week, since people overrate the Dragons and they leak a lot of points on their edges (plus Latrell would be running at their right side which is weak as tissue paper)

Saw that. No doubt it was due to that ridiculous (and unnecessary) flip on that 2nd try. He was limping after that.

Boldly predicting a banner from Milford before seasons end.

Anyone know what the broncos spine looks like once SOS and Dearden are back?
