Well it was a glorious two week run for Rudolf before Hamlin-Uele started ahead of him this weekend. Didn't change his minutes or output, so kinda irrelevant anyway.

My issue was the certainty you had about stating it, not that you have opinions.

For example, while you crow about Rudolf where is Magoulias exactly? He's got a 60 min role ahead of Williams by now, surely? It was only a matter of time...

You are clearly the one stating opinions as certainties. “Zero chance” and “0.00000001%” craziness

In the presser, Pay was asked about Wakeham and he said yeah he was happy enough, pretty consistent in defence, it's a combination with Foran that should improve over time. Asked if it's a combination he'd be happy to keep going he seemed positive enough.

I can't fucking trust him though can I??!!!!

Twitter suggests he was acquitted, but can't find any actual article on it

An actual article suggests nothing of interest happened today

Let's just posit for a moment that Wakeham's job security is absolutely rock solid.

What would you expect for avg score?
Would you trade him in?

40 for an average would be achievable?
Don’t think he makes enough cash or becomes a keeper so I’d say a no from me

Id say low 40s would be a realistic hope.
Bit less if Foran gets injured and he ends up partnered with Lewis again (he'll lose massive kick metres)

I probably won't bother trading him in (this week at least) as have other things that need doing, and not sure its the best use of a valuable trade.

Hard to turn down 20 points in kick metres each week. But being a Bulldogs half you are only going to get kick metres and tackles. I'd say not a keeper, but might have enough cash in him to be a cow. Maybe 45 average? Not sure that is worth a trade in

I actually start the 0.00001% sentence with “My guess”. So certain. Good try though.

Yep 45 is what I've got him at. In round one he got no KMs whilst Lewis got almost 600. In round two he got 220 Kms but from memory, most of those were after Lewis got hooked after 55 minutes (Lewis got 360 still). Round six he gets 360 kms even with ten minutes off the field in the bin. 400 kms per game next to Foran seems achievable, about 22 tackles per game and 40-50 run metres. I'd say he'd be good to avg 45 or more. There's always the chance he gets the kicking tee back too or the Dogs actually start winning some games and he gets some attacking stats. There's the potential to make 150-180k here I would have thought? I'm not talking keeper.

I couldn't see him on NRLF draft..

Ah, sorry mate, always a risk with "ya mum" jokes. My bad

No man, its all good, playball. She is alive and well. Just putting the scare through ya !

So I guess it's basically DCE (60) and RTS (45) and wait a while until I can afford Teddy, or Teddy (60) and Wakeham (45) and wait until I can afford DCE.

Similar scoring in the short term I would guess. Much better job security for RTS over Wakeham I suppose.

Haha, kent, I suspected as much!

That’s as certain a percentage estimate as it gets.

I’d explain how it was used for effect and not an actual statistical probability but you’ll probably downvote me again.

Classic alt battle

Yep!

Katoa of the Warriors, any news today on his injury status ?
