What are you expecting from Latrell? His FB average over 26 games is 39

Say he turns into a consistent fantasy stud, what are you predicting? Is it enough to warrant the trade out later

i.e
expected average 45 - makes around $115,000

worth it or not?

if you pick latrell and he averages 45 then it was worth it, in my dumbass opinion.

can't have 10 pt underpriced players in every position, and wfb is a shitty spot anyway.

whether that affects team balance/etc is a dif story.

Looks pretty similar to Draftstars in terms of sign up, need to verify ID

Oh really, tempting prizes although nothing is ever easy, no way.

system is run by GeniusGames.com.au by the looks, looks like they offer a bunch of stats based games as a way of funnelling new users to promoters (ie in this case sportsbet)

jokes on them, i'm already a sportsbet degen

yeah was good to watch. Cooper was calm, countered each contention with facts using names (easy to corroborate) and held strong.

He’s sort of flown under the radar with all the Teddy, Pap, Isaako, Hoy and Laurie chatter!

I haven't done many drafts so it's not saying too much, but Holmes hasn't left any of my teams since inception. I'm obviously hoping he's named at FB but it won't be an immediate strike through his name if he's not. I just like players who like playing footy. He strikes me as a hungry, busy player who likes to get involved. Kind of the opposite to his mate, HTF.

Oh, and about 4pm this afternoon;

Fifita for me, but both seem like decent picks

Alex Glenn says Herbie got the all clear yesterday afternoon to play this weekend, will be training today, Oates was just 'filling in there' for the day. I guess that means Oates is probably gonna miss the 17.

Heaped praise on Milford (as you'd expect, houses down etc), but he did say he will be playing on the right to benefit his kicking game.

What are everyone's thoughts on Cook vs Korisau?

Brad Deitz was working as a teacher a month ago and had to ask for permission to take a break from his education duties so he could train with Canterbury on a full-time basis.

That decision looks set to pay off with a first grade debut at the age of 26 thanks to his own determination and an injury that has robbed the Bulldogs of hooker Jeremy Marshall-King.

Deitz isn’t in the Bulldogs’ top 30 or on their development list, but it is understood that Canterbury have applied or and been given permission to select him this week pending Marshall-King’s fitness.

He will likely be named in the first grade squad on Tuesday and make his debut on Friday night against Newcastle as Trent Barrett takes charge of the Bulldogs for the first time in the NRL.

He quite possibly makes my team. Is much better and fitter than Katoa. Do Bulldogs have any spare spots?

Katoa will start ahead of him and JMK is only going to miss 1 week

Fifita.

With the cash they're splashing for him, at least one of the Titans game plans in attack is going to solely be "Pass it to Fifita".

Was listening to a TK podcast and one of their experts was saying if he gets a chance he will make the most of it.

Killed it in the trial, one of their best, basically won them the game. Highly rated on Bulldogs forum as well.

Not any more, minor surgery took it back to a grade 2

Guys, Brad Deitz is someone who was in another profession a month ago, and needs special permission to be named in first grade because he's not actually part of the squad and the regular starter is injured. Of course mattnz is interested in him.
