I was pretty openly against trading in Teddy(and Ponga) while they were priced significantly above their long term average. I grabbed Herbie as a cash out shortly after and got much better points per dollar which let me grab the other guns I wanted

I wasn't having a go at you with the hindsight comment, I agree with you, I also steered clear of him for the same reasons..

I was lucky enough to pay 851k for him and get a first week score of 20

Initial thoughts are Lolo>AFB and Niu>Latrell

Bit more depth at the back

If Koro and SJ are both out again I'll still be able to field 17(just)

Yeah depth is the way to go, I wish I had a few better options than HTF, Averillo, Farnworth for depth.
Hopefully Herbie will play at CTR again in the next 5 games. Is Staggs going to continue playing this season?

See no reason why Staggs would not continue?

Don't really understand picking Kahu at centre though. Hopefully they swap Herbie back in to left centre. I have no idea when Coates is back..

I only got him at the bargain price of 904k

Hopefully this will be remembered the next time(next year) everyone wants to buy a WFB at a high price after a few tries

Imagine ever talking about Teddy as a bad buy.

Wasn't Staggs in need of surgery?

No, don't believe so, he had a hammy problem a while back but seems to be good now.

Doesn't matter which name is on the box, if you pay for a 70 average and get a 53 average it's a bad trade in

If you choose to pay 70 average price for someone with a long term average of 55 in that position it's a bad decision regardless of the outcome

But fantasy (and football) isn't played on paper. You can make good decisions that end with bad outcomes and bad decisions that end with good outcomes.

Going with the former will more often than not lead to a good result

Sean O’Sullivan wearing number 6 jersey at Broncos training, looks to be partnering Tom Dearden in the halves. #NRL


lol..

Broncos injuries so bad, their Sports Conditioner is training on the wing with the reserves, in an opposed session. Woozy face #NRL

The way the Broncs training runs go this season, they'll be a twitter report about S Conditioner, grade 2 hamstring tear, 4-6 weeks in the next hour or so.

Maybe I confused him with another Bronco's player???

Someone was postponing surgery due to the injury toll

That was Flegler, but then they decided to do the surgery now.

Despite being facetious, I also waited until he dropped below $800k before picking him up so completely agree with your synopsis

aha that's right, getting my players mixed up.

Plenty of value in FRF if you are willing to take a slight risk

JFH at 616k with a 51 season average
Paulo at 626k with a 50 season average
Taupau at 651k with a 49 season average
AFB at 647k with a 49 season average

Yeah, I was expecting more from Teddy since bringing him into the team... in hindsight it was a bad trade. Even so he was still outscoring the bulk of available WFBs in that time period.

Just realised my team has Haas, Mofo, Fui and Hetherington. All suspended.

I'm about 200 points behind number 5... I can almost smell the chicken!

KFC:

944 after updates and rank down from 450 to 479 for me.

I’m thinking MoFo is a hold but Lolo a sell.

I have Taupau which is good so can cover MoFo. Have Randall and Niu as red dots though.

Means I have Siro as 16th man, Koala as 17th man and Hammer as 18th man. Not ideal but I guess it could be worse.

Just trading Lolo to Tohu means I still have 363k spare and 3 trades after the Lolo trade.

I’m looking to bring Haas back in the week after as well.

Need to instil some discipline into your players
