I need to make one of those to have 17 this week as I have no WFB cover and no SRF cover other than Fuimaono who is in my centres. And my plan is to get Ponga if Teddy doesn’t play.

Seems a good approach, going ponga if teddy doesn't play. Noting that the talk of Teddy not playing seems to be people speculating and essentially taking a guess who either won't pass a protocol for HIA through week (not sure how anyone would know this apart from club officials) or guessing he will get rested, which isn't ever an easy thing to predict.

Which means im 60k better off going Niu, Which is the difference between getting DCE over SJ for example.

I don't think the cow I trade in this week will be a tradeout unless they make 150K+ but then if they are making that much coin they are probably scoring pretty well to stick around all year anyways... especially if they are centre available

**Also Averillo just screams "I am going to fuck up your team" to me... just a gut feel.

Thanks mate, in the next week or two, depending on price rises, I should be able to do Mann to DCE and Best to RTS. Whilst it sounds nice enough, the only problem I have with it, is that RTS feels like a wasted trade. I mean, if I trade him in, I've then got Pappy and RTS there who I would put on the same tier, and one of them will have to become Teddy, because I'm not finishing the season without Teddy.

So therefore, RTS in this scenario becomes 1. Not a keeper 2. Unlikely to make much cash, which is the definition of a bad trade. It's why I was looking at the Wakeham option because it allows me to bypass RTS and go straight to Teddy. I would still have an interim player, in this case Wakeham instead of RTS, but difference being that Wakeham would make cash (in theory). Does this make any sense?

Feel like taking a stab that Niu has one of those first game luck performances and goes 50+ and then somehow averages 40+ from here on to sit in my CTR's all year round.
After Melbourne (Katoa out), Warriors have a pretty decent three game stretch (Broncos, Titans, Sharks) where Katoa could go on a streak and I can sell him at around 600K just before they verse the Roosters.

Is there any news on his injury timeline?

Any of these young outside backs are capable of scoring between 10 and 50+ on any given day. You can stew on it all your want but luck will play a big part in who scores big and when.

We are probably getting to the point where whoever comes in next might be the last real "cow" people have. Trades are slim.

Makes sense but I would be very concerned trusting Wakeham's job security. At least with RTS if it goes tits up you can play him the rest of the year as WFB3

Mulvy wrote:

Mate it's a punt, but you won't regret getting Ponga in, fair chance you'll regret trading Katoa early, and if ever there was a run of fixtures to help a struggling team find their feet and help a rookie outside back cement their spot which was earned largely on merit, the Broncos have them.

Pretty much this.

Everyone has one weak spot in their 17 this week(if they have 17) so having to run out Hammer isn't the end of the world. Next week you could look at Mann>RTS or similar*

*assuming everyone is still alive

talking about weak spots, should I get

Matterson & play Averillo in the CTRs or
Ponga & play Fuimano (vs Roosters) in the 2RF

I know, I know. I am just clutching my cheeks together and hoping for the best.

R U OK? MTB? You seem a bit stressed and tense these last couple days.
