Why are you getting rid of Watson in this scenario, he must be close to a keeper. Also, if you don’t start with Teddy, when are you going to get him in? Post Origin I suppose.

2020 was the year from hell for Milford. He started of well the first 2 rounds pre-covid, with the young bucks looking full of promise for the new season ahead.
I'm not sure what happened during the lockdown, but the Broncos returned to the field a different team in round 3. Some may call this the Seibold effect.
Fantasy wise Milf's scores plumetted to a sub thirty average, he lost his Mojo along with the rest of the team.
Now with a different coach, who has a playing philosophy that suits Milfords game, things can only improve right?
Potentially add CS9 to the mix and you are of to the horses.

I personally have Milf as my 18th man at the moment. I'm not confident enough to put him next to Cleary in my team just yet. But I cannot ignore him having the potential of getting back to his ussual avg of 50 odd points, that's a 20 point boost.

If Watson peaks around 650k you probably don't want to keep him in the 17 all year. If I start without Teddy I'd aim to get him within the first 5-6 weeks, or post origin. I generally don't make strict trade plans

I have Teddy and Watson. Now someone who is scoring 50-60 every week can stay. No doubt injuries to other players will occur.

Watson was purely an example on positionless bench. Point is you don't have to trade a WFB to Teddy, it can be someone like Lodge, Koloa, Watson, Lam, Davey, Liddle, Tino, Brailey etc

I'll be waiting for one of Teddy or Ponga to drop in price, then buy value.

Lam did make it into my 17 for that reason.
I'm happy to take a punt on milford...the potential is there

Used to look at it like that mate but then you realise Teddy is +15 points over next best WFB and you can find plenty of value in hooker position. So Teddy and Cook around same average so I looked for value in the the other position

Brailey 10-15
Turpin 10
Liddle 10-15
Macca 5-10

Minus the base cheapies in the WFB I can’t find nowhere near the value and points potential
