I've traded him in this week as a replacement for Capewell. I mean he's up against a Farnsworth/Coates edge pairing today. I can't not have him at this point.

I have difficulty justifying it since I have two "playable" (I use that term loosely) centres in Averillo and Crichton. It's just such a swirling vortex of trades in that position. Sucked into the void never to be seen again

No, getting Ponga is a great trade if you can do it without messing up the rest of your team.

All scoring well already no reason it can’t continue.

Personally I like combinations. Can go huge when they put it together, like Best and Ponga a couple of weeks ago

Thanks boys but I can also afford Tedesco. So who do you prefer. Tasty game up tonight for Ponga & Tedesco up against a strong Eels team but that probably won't hinder Tedesco. Cheers.

Originally had decided to turn Saifiti into Robson.

Maybe thinking Leilua to Robson gives me 190k in the bank. He’s pretty much topped out, needs scores of 50+ to really get that price going north.

Saifiti doesn’t need much to get things going again and it’s possible

They are both the only Tier 1 WFB's imo. Go with your gut.

For me it's a matter of Best is at extremely popular ownership, 30%. If he's going to continue to be an attacking weapon, how much am I putting myself at a disadvantage by not owning him.

I'm having a pretty garbo season by my standards and am looking at going POD crazy soon but I still think to finish in a respectable spot this year, you got to get the popular ones.

If I was after a WFB this week it would be RTS and the cash over Teddy/Ponga. Both are priced above their long term average and by the nature of the position will have a down game at some point. Worth noting Ponga was on ~10 points at half time last week

I think Lucy could be a cut price keeper personally mate.

Yeah I don't follow that argument. You want to catch the people in front of you, by buying someone they already have, way more expensive than they paid for him, so that you can get the same points as them??

Pretty sure it was 14, I recall as it was the same as Best

I don't even take ownership percentage into account when making decisions.

Some massive ones that stand out -
Radley in more teams than Cook, Smith, Mcinnes. Friend in a similar price point
Jamil Hopoate in 25% of teams still
Walters in 20% of teams


I'd say 25% of teams are inactive already, 30% are picking their favourite players and last weeks try scorers, 35% are playing h2h semi seriously and 10% are playing overall

I just want someone who will see out the season at this stage haha

Well, personally I think that's a way more compelling reason to buy him than ownership percentages.

All I hope is that no centres get injured this week. Please. Over splashing trades on centres.

Amen.

Just want Best and Crichton to see out the rest of the season please
