Over Tedesco?

Tedesco is awesome & if Ponga is too expensive I will go with him. I think Ponga with the gk is the difference because the Knights will score a lot of tries & get a lot of penalties.

Was thinking this too. Got him in as a goal kicking FB. Not only is he not playing FB, he doesn’t even get the chance to kick goals. He’s averaging 42 doing nothing special. Imagine if he could score a try or something crazy. Was keen to bring in Best for Lomax, but is there any point?

He was gifted 2 undeserved tries the first 2 rounds.

Ha ha...thought the game started at 7.30 so just checked the score, how about that Wiliame eh?

I must be psychic as I bought a centre I didn’t need this week....looks like I may find a use for him after all.

Wiliame to Clark as soon as fucking possible

950 on the knocker dropped about 60 places and lost every head to head by 10 or less but reasonably happy

Tedesco is 6 points statistically better than Ponga. You seriously have Ponga over him now?

This year he ain't

Shit, I totally forgot Saints have actually scored tries!

Your right was better than Teddy over first 4 rounds last year and 2018. Teddy averaged more over season both times.

I would hold Lomax, he’s doing a job and increasing in value. Best is no guarantee to keep this up (he might but ctrs tend to disappoint)

Just finished watching my catch-up. Really bummed I missed Capewell this week, but McInnes cushioning the blow a little, showing why I wanted him asap.

Saw a few other chaps saying similar, but very pleased with Lomax inconceivably continuing to score around that 40 mark. Very nice, especially alongside Hampton (14 this week) and Wiliame (NPR).

What are general thoughts on Kerr? He's not doing anything wrong, essentially. His price will keep ticking along and he's solid defensively, but is my memory deceiving me? In those Indigenous games, wasn't he tearing the opposition apart with his running game and offloads? Has he offloaded once for the Saints this year? I can't remember one. Hasn't broken a tackle or anything. I guess it's probably a sign of how Saints are going more than anything, I'd assume. Don't get me wrong, I'll take his late 30's scores but a shame when you know there's potential for so much more.

I'll probably end up going Tedesco anyway due to price. He should go good against the Bulldogs.

Will be around 20-30k difference. If you think Ponga will average more get him and go with your gut

Pleased with Kerr's 38 today. He only missed 1 tackle, but it was right on the line to give the first try away and was immediately subbed, so may be one of Mary's scapegoats for next week's side. Agree that in pre-season and indigenous game he had a much more fantasy favourable game.

Lomax isn't a keeper centre, but he's going to be an easy trade to an actual keeper in Mitchell/Hopoate/Ramien when his price levels. If you think Best is in that group as a set-and-forget to play alongside Capewell then go for it and pocket the change, but I'm not so sure.

Ponga does have bonus of GK which should be around 3-4 goals a game (6-8 points)

I'm probably doing 2 cows (Paix & Clark) this week unless I can potentially get Murray in (but my 2RF is pretty strong is Lolo is fit with Lolo, Yeo & Leilua, with Carrigan & Katoa back up)

Just got home to see Britt's mammoth 12 points. Didn't break 1000 but happy with 976 and back up to 4,900 after dropping to 10,000 last week.

What's the deal with Wiliame? Left the game injured or just speculation he might be carrying one?

My obvious trade outs to deal with are Britt and Walters, like others it will be better news if Wiliame is injured

That’s sort of what I meant...wasn’t proposing along term hold but a jump to whoever puts their hand up when he peaks . TBH I would jump to Latrell before Best at the moment...

Was having a laugh at at those that played Williame. I completely forgot about my Dreamteam. I got stuck with Hess and couldn’t get him into my reserves. My last AE was Williame! What a difference a week makes. Next week I’ll be able to play Cleary, Hess, and Lolo, as well as bringing in Grant and Best!

Yeah, I did wonder if that missed tackle for the try cut into his planned minutes for the game. I'd be disappointed if he was a scapegoat because I think he's definitely one of the more solid, reliable players in the team. Bigger issues than him there. That said, as long as he's in the 17 I'm happy. Seems to be scoring more or less the same each week whether off the bench or starting today.

Ponga has usually had GK built into his average

Oh shit, is that how it works? Everything you've posted here is exactly what's happening with my team. Hess, Wiliame and then Cleary & Lolo both out as well as your two trade targets. Well... almost. I think I'm going to go for Capewell over Best.
