Sure am. One score below 48 for the year and DPP. Won't get many fantastic scores but he'll get you 50 a week.

Shady2K wrote:Joseph Suaalii remains a chance to be a late call-up for the Roosters against the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Suaalii played on the wing in the 46-0 loss to the Storm in round 16, but was named on the reserves list in jersey 21 on Tuesday. "He’s been named at 21 every single week," coach Trent Robinson said on Thursday.

"It’s also the 17-year-old and the (betting) sponsorship of the jersey. You’ll see him get named in (jersey) 21 every single week, until he’s 18 (on August 1)." When Robinson was pushed about whether Suaalii would be a late inclusion at Bankwest Stadium, he responded with "we’ll see, we’ll see".

I'd go with the job security of the first two. You say AFB will be outside your 17 at 18th man, but I reckon between injury, suspension, covid, isolations, etc you'll be playing him nearly every week, so I vote for him as he'll get more points than Radley.

Either him or lolo and I think JJ is the safer play right now

Jumping Marlin wrote:This weeks decision looks like being to trade in one of the following:

Player 1: Priced at 44.  Average 50 across 2019-2020.  2021 average (excluding injuries) = 50.  Job security = high.  Stats say expect solid 50

Player 2: Priced at 35.  In his current position averaged 43 in 2019, 48 in 2020 (excluding injuries) and 39 in 2021 (in part to averaging a sin bin each 2.3 games of footy. )  Job security = high.  Suspension risk = high.  Stats say expect mid to high 40's.

Player 3: Priced at 35.  Debuted in 2020, averaging 43 since.  When starting, has averaged 52 (7 games). When starting in his current position has averaged 58 (5 games).  Job security = uncertain. Stats say expect 50's until dropped.


I've had AFB (player 1) pencilled in all week.  But given they are (hopefully) my 18th man, the extra $100k saved for Victor (Player 2) or Wilton (Player 3) might make the difference between a To'o or Ponga as last WFB.

I feel like it's stupid with trades at a premium, but I'm tempted by Wilton.  Anyone have any thoughts on job security?  Talakai was named to start 2 weeks ago but Wilton was  late switch.  Plus Wade Graham?  

After all that, I think I'm back at this order:  AFB, Wilton, Radley.  

Anyone want to contribute and turn the monologue into a discussion?

TLDR: AFB, Radley or Wilton?

After much thinking on this last week  I rated lolo > JJ because I think he has more chance of higher average.

Although, to be fair, I went both Lolo and JJ last week.  Was a bit stressed when lolo was subbed at about the 10-15min mark, but that's happened a few times and he ended up playing 55-60 the few times I noticed it.

The JJ dual was a big factor in my decision and I don't mind the odd player who is safe and solid..

Yes but we might see him lose responsibility in the team this year seeing as it might be unlikely he signs again.

Titans are in a tough fight for a finals spot. They'll play their best team, whoever has signed for next year

They did better last week without the Peach

If he plays I may debate the merits of him vs Chambers. Chambers does play every week though.......Suaalii has DPP but will miss out as much as he plays

I've gone the punt on Wilton. I look at that bench, and the addition of Lodge, and I just see some more potential upside in Wilton (assuming he holds his position and Graham remains out). Plus he's cheaper, and makes me sweat less about being able to afford SST to Fifita next week....

I have 671k available to trade someone in, have been set on Tolman most of the week but was having a further look at the options around that price range today and have seen a few other options like Turpin and Egan. Just not sure where to go with this one. Position doesn't really matter, just need someone who will score really well for the next 5 weeks as my finals start in round 19. Need some advice, anything is appreciated.
