My guess is he a 0.00000001% chance of starting

You certain?

I'm possibly looking at a trade-free week if he can take the field. Maybe punt Luai for a decent cow option if one shows up to free up some cash...

He came back on the field, Id guess he’s more likely to play than not. Just like Mann and Leilua before him. Also if he doesn’t play there’s a reasonable chance my fantasy team plays 16 and he won’t want to let the boys down like that

Haha, and yes, this would also occur with my squad. I will begin the process of crossing my fingers.

If you are like me and have HTF in your 17 and are looking at Niu, option that works for me is Wiliame at WFB, Paix at #18 and HTF at #19 - if HTF has a stinker I can pull the trigger on Paix to Niu and hope for a better score.

I am leaning towards grabbing Niu anyway (because Paix and Wiliame are both useless now), but ideally I'll hold off making the trade this week to get a better look at everyone.

Nothing locked in or stated in my posts, just what if scenarios mate

Why does a half decent score from a Brailey make me hate every trade scenario involving him!

Need to decide if I want Cook/DCE. DCE without Tommy is mighty tempting

No official word. Just guesswork here on the basis that he was injured during the game. He played out the match so he's probably alright. People are just being cautious, especially if his absence would leave them without 3 second rowers to play this week.

Spot on, just probably stands out as it is chatter other than centre talk

What's up with Billy Burns ownership at 13.7%?

Niu seems really risky, no? Could get one start and then out again?

I will likely be in the same situation as you with having to play HTF or another WFB cow via Wiliame loop.

I was looking at Herbie or Talau if he gets wfb.

Or Funa? Is he likely to have a starting spot for the next 6 weeks with both Walker and Turbo out for 6?

I'm seriously considering trading in two Bulldogs this week, have I lost the plot?!

Wasn’t he popular on the auto fill algorithm? So a lot of casual teams were created with him in it

I think someone said that

Does bringing in Niu allow you to play Williame in starting WFB and taking best score from Niu and HTF?

I had thought of it. Averillo and Wakeham. But that would leave me with 4 of them. Fantasy suicide that is

I mean, yeah, absolutely. No telling what happens with the Drongos next week..

In my opinion he will hold the spot. Isaako has shown he isn't a fullback. As bad as Siebold is going, it seems like he saw that right before round 1 when he threw Bird back there.

Perhaps the biggest threat is Milford moving to FB if Dearden was to come in, but I think if Milford doesn't pull up his socks at 6 he is more likely to be dropped altogether than moved.

Croft is showing he isn't capable of being the organising half that we needed, but he was brought there by Siebold so I think he'll be persisted with.

I own zero Bulldogs and that already seems like too many. While there are good options, no one in that squad has any job security

With the Broncos run of good fixtures, fair chance they grab a couple of wins and Niu has a chance to cement the position. If he scores 40 this week though, his price will barely move, but he'll have a single digit break even. I'll wait until next week thanks.

I don't even want to play anymore hahaha, the last 2 weeks my team has been shredded and it will take me 2-3 weeks to fix it and by then its all over.

Shit, who is there besides those two??

That would explain it. Running through cheap 2RFs looking for bargains, but didn't think he fit the bill.
