There isn't a lot of challengers for the 7 jersey at the Broncos. Another win in the next two weeks should lock him in the side for a little while. What, are we going to bring Croft back in ? (probably).

Despite the onfield antics that seem to have riled a few people up, he seems like a decent fella off the field. Don't think he will get phased by pressure.

you reckon it would be worth taking the 'gamble' on him in order to get ipap? or go towards fog/ starling

Yeah look worth the read for the content but reads like it was a high schooler learning how to use different language techniques or something. Bizarre.

Think I’ll sit tight this week and not trade. Think of it as an experiment in trade management.

Would much rather save that trade for a Blore type

Broncos coach Kevin Walters says his team will be 1-17 to face the Cowboys on Saturday. But rookie Brendan Piakura* will be 18th man and is considered an outside chance to make his debut if Walters makes a late change to his line-up.

Is a second rower.

How does ricky pick Guler over James. Fuck me.

Also, Sam Williams sneaking into the 19 is a completely fantasy irrelevant move that has me worried as a Raiders supporter.

Leaning towards similar, but if Walsh starts and goes good again, we've pretty much missed him. But that's fantasy.

Because James is an injury prone old man on the downward curve in his career whereas Guler is the young beast on the upward curve in his career. This is why I was surprised that James went to the Raiders due to the forward depth.

Yeah that does worry me slightly but oh well there will be others. I hope. How many trades ya managed to save?

I have 22, so I think I've saved 2? Not enough!

Haha, im not really willing to predict what happens with the Broncos lineup. If i needed a cheapie and position didnt matter, id probably take the Gamble.

I have Verrills but id prefer to try and hold my second trade this week

I know this is an area you really cannot gauge off possible scores but Dragons leak A LOT of points to opposition halves this year.

Through 7 rounds, R1-3 and 5-8 (not including round 4 where Pearce and Mann got injured and the halves were all over the place), the Dragons have leaked on average 68.14 points to opposing halves with 53 being the lowest and 82 being the highest... they have also leaked on average 40.14 points to opposing five-eighths this year with the lowest being 19 (SOS) and the highest being 61.

TL;DR Walsh should at least get 40 points

EDIT:

I stuffed up; so Dragons leak on average 57 points ranging from 19-82, to opposing halves and 51.28 points ranging from 37-72 to opposing five-eighths.

TL;DR Walsh should get at least 51 points

They get paid a generous percentage of the subscription fees that everyone bypasses.

Guler, beast and upward curve do not belong in the same sentence. Nothing personal against the bloke, but his impact on the game is minimal and offers little to the team that warrants his inclusion.

Oh I thought that would be 4 trades saved at the conclusion of this round? Maybe I’m just bad at math

That sounds about right yup, 34 - 16 equals 18 left

I’ve asked and rambled heaps this week about Peachey vs Ramien and I’m sorry about that but can someone talk me out of one of them just to make the decision easier

I think so yes, going by the wookie and his progress.
