What are your guys thoughts?

Had first draft all week then just put Burton in HLF and got Wilton

Relax
Beer
Footy.


Bird v Aitken?

I was on Bird but I've warmed around to Aitken. Ahead of Burton as well

Aitken = better base, can find the line, should stay on the edge as Warriors have other CTR options and I think he'll stay there once Tohu is back (Katoa bench), plays first bye
Bird = coach seems to like him so on edge for now, uncertainty with Sims lurking about, his utility value may see him moved around whether it's FB or CTR should injuries strike, doesn't play first bye

Marschke out is a good sign for Watsons role. Thought he may have made the bench

Drew Hutchison is still there if that is your concern

was going to say this. Hutch is way ahead in the pecking order than marshke. Robinson loves the hutch

He is a current NSW starting edge player - surely the Dragons can find a spot for him in their team

related but Bird is currently on the market as well. Dragons have offered him 500k but don't appear to want to go higher.

I've been convinced here that Walters is a trap but then again he is Son of Kevin and might stick around.

Would Vailea or Leo Thompson be better options?

He was on $900k at Broncos?

Who would you leave out of your 17: Schneider, Randall, Tuilagi, or Coates?

Was pretty set on Schneider, Randall, and Tuilagi with Coates in EMG, but a bit spooked about getting myself into a Tago-like predicament with Coates going big in EMG.

If I hadn’t have made the Leniu mistake I’d probably have taken the punt on Walters haha but alas not in the position to be loose now.

The Broncos didn't get into the position they are in by paying unders for players

Yeah, wondering if Watson is still worth it with Hutchinson floating around. Maybe only 65ish minute Watson hmmmm

Yeah Coates

Also, anyone else joining me in not get Ilias?

Couple of last-minute toss-ups:

Russell vs Walters

M King vs Fifita

Or any combination thereof I guess.

Currently have Russell and King.

My theory is that Walters most likely has the best upside, and if he is out, he is able to be traded to the best cheap buy of the week

Or putting it another way, if they all score about what you expected and are all named again next week, he is the only one you would consider trading in for round 2.

Wayne is a great coach but has to go down as one of the worst signings ever.

Not entirely Birds fault, had a shocking run with injuries.

Man with a plan, relaxed and in cruise control.

Warm up beers before heading out to the raiders game.

I’ll deal with the bitter disappointment of them loosing later

Pulling your team apart to trade in a centre that scored a try is madness

Not sure Tago has another 150k price rises in him after this week

No doubt Kevvy will end up rotating once he starts losing games, looking for the 'magic', so Walters at worst is probably a slow burn cow, or he might take off.

Probably wishes his family name was Cleary.

I reckon he does. Looks the goods.
