I will rabbits the hell out of this thread until someone convinces me that best isn’t gonna score a brace every weekend!

My gut actually all week has said back Latrell So I probably will but wanted fui to bail me out of making a decision for a while

So where do these extra 5-7 runs a game come from? Latrell is a lazy cunt, he will have games where he is fully invested and make 15 runs, he most certainly will have games making 5

Trust your gut, and trust me that the position is a joke

Forwards in the centres is the way forward. We have one. Most have him already though in Capewell and one more has emerged, but his job security is shit in Fuimaiono and his team is shit and he is suiting up for his 3rd club and was never relevant previously.


Latrell is cheap for him and with upside. Get him
Best is free money and looks a unit. If enough cash, get him
The rookies are risky future trades waiting to happen but are massive enablers to upgrades elsewhere


Of those 3 things the final category interests me because it buys me improvements elsewhere. As long as you have some cover (eg Crichton in 18-21) then honestly just pick whoever your gut tells or
Whoever helps your team elsewhere.

He has taken a pay cut to change clubs to play fullback. He had a short preseason and came out horribly unfit, with 4 runs in his first game at fullback. He will have the training team and Bennett working with him to become the top fullback that he sees himself as. Dont see lazy Mitchell back any time soon, he has a lot to prove and wants to be in the conversation of top fullbacks.

If he survives the cut to 19 at 6pm today, then I'd say he is almost certainly playing. Doubt they'd include him in the 19 when they have to fly to Sydney tomorrow if he's not set to play.

That though is complete speculation and conjecture, he can be that he wants can Latrell, has had the talent to be best player in league since he made his debut. But to this point he hasn’t and part of it is because he is a lazy cunt. There is no way he will make the tough runs like Tedesco or RTS does all game. What we know is his fantasy pedigree playing CTR with GK and a smaller sample as a youngster playing FB.

Latrell has just as much chance of packing in league completely than becoming a top 5 player IMO

To me the upside is worth it. If he picks up the work rate (as we are seeing him doing progressively each round this season), and starts playing to his potential, he can be as good as Ponga and Teddy in Fantasy.

Any opinion on what centre I should bring in. Can afford anyone basically. 20 trades left. But need a fit centre this week

Hmm now you've got me looking at hoppa too

I actually prefer Hoppa. Only thing that sways me to Latrell, and tin foil hat here, Latrell more likely to be a scorer favorite,  Hoppa more likely to be dudded.
