    Hoping on form uptick? I realised last night he doesn’t have the same game as Luai as the least dominant half comparison because he just doesn’t have the same running game to rack up 10/15 point plays which offsets him low KM. Think I’m heading sell

    The problem with comparison with Luai is:

    a) Luai was way cheaper
    b) Luai is 2nd choice calling for ball, but for Roosters, Teddy takes precedence over Lam

    Before last week, Jackson's last 4 games at lock he averaged 46, which is what he is priced at.

    So really you are counting on him replicating last week's score a bunch more times. And that game was inflated by Penrith having a tonne of possession in the wet

    Jackson had never made more than 50 tackles in a game before and made 64 on the weekend. Just seems like a one off big game to me.

    Was tempted earlier in the week but am going to pass I think.

    At this stage I am. I could go Lam to Schuster to pair with Milf, but then I'd have to play Croker/Gosi in my 17. Simonnson to Schuster effectively gives me an extra scoring player.  Besides,  will be doubly fun to watch when he puts captain Crichton over for a double.
    I would be trading Milf out ahead of Lam. Lam has shown that even in quiet games, his base is around 30 points and had just 1 missed tackle in the 2 games. Milf has missed 12 tackles in 2 games and his position is under threat in the side after a shocker from him last week. If Dearden had been on the bench he would have been subbed for sure.

    I'm buying Jackson this week. Thompson will play prop. Ogden and Hetho aren't first grade starters.
    Hetho's 54 and 57 minutes the first 2 weeks go straight to Thompson

    Wow, Pappy out makes things interesting. Means I need to play Averillo or Moylan and can't loop my way around it. Surely Averillo in dry weather against Broncos gets the nod? Or does Moylan, who's already proven he can score 37 get a run?

    I prefer Averillo, but any others with this predicament?

    Ipap will probably be a borderline keeper at best, I wouldn't buy him unless you're prepared to sell him later.

    Alvaro seems the better pick if you're burning 2 trades, he's much cheaper and will score almost as much.

    Very sound. Thank you

    Milf has always missed tackles mate, absolutely nothing new. KM were down last week but still the dominant of the 2 halves. Milf also shown he can average 50+ over a season

    Everyone, don't trade Lam this week. I am so he will probably go atleast 60+




    No worries 👍

    If Dearden is on the bench this week, you would still hold him over Lam?

    They're 50/50 for me. Might both be gone next week

    All my squad bar Cleary are healthy might be prudent to save trades this week and see what next week brings - Captain Cook has landed.

    So is it unknown/unlikely whether Koala will be 80 mins every week?

    Not as long as Milf is a turnstile in defence.
