You missed that Crichton scored 16, proving his point?

Giving shit probably wasn't the right word, apologies there, I didn't mean that entirely seriously.

Fifita's had his one good game but if he has one 70 every few games and the rest 40s, then I'm glad to have sold.

In that Tedesco run last year, he had some very easy matchups in which he racked up big scores, he doesn't have that this year until after origin, so unless he gets two tons in his next 4 or something, then selling him is the right call.

Fantasy also has only one trade less than Supercoach did last year, so I'm willing to be more aggressive with my trades. I didn't have to burn trades on buying all the popular cheapies this year because I started with almost all of them.

I'd still back Teddy to be in top 4 averaging WFBs at season's end with Papy, Hynes, Turbo, and Turbo isn't really going to be an option until after Origin now, so, yeah, hold. Possibly look to buy when he bottoms out in a week or two, although Roosters rotation over Origin complicates things.

Yeah don’t get me wrong, the early Fifita trade might still work out to be genius, jury out on that one for a couple of weeks after his 79 though. The thing about WFB being an absolute dumpster fire is correct, but thats why I feel a premium like Teddy is even more valuable (and of course assuming he finds form points again). There are only 4 guys I trust there (Turbo, Hynes, Pappy and Teddy) in the entire NRL roster. May has been great but he is still a winger, and he will find his 17 score eventually (and also may have a ban coming soon anyway). Tedesco will be priced at 45 come lockout. If you think he can’t average that then you absolutely should trade.

I don't even trust Teddy anymore (and to a lesser extent Papy), he's shown this year that his base is way down, and even when his team wins big (e.g. against a 12 man Cowboys side) he doesn't necessarily cash in.

His average TBs per game has dropped from 6.8 to 4.4, so effectively he's lost 11 points a game after factoring the scoring change (~20 points per game down to ~9).

Cheapie wingers are matching and beating his scores, and I may as well just play them and get a gun like DCE who bangs out 60s for fun

He's definitely an option for a trade to free up some money in my team to fund Cleary eventually.

Alright Beth, you have successfully passed the gauntlet of inquisition and are henceforth allowed to trade out Tedesco free of further reproach

I'm hoping Vailea can get back in, he showed he's got some heart by playing most of the round 1 game on a busted knee.

Arthars has probably nailed down one of the centre spots through performance, but reckon Pompey shifts to the wing if Montoya gone, so either Berry or Vailea come back...
