Trick is to have bad 13-17 depth and need to play them both!

This is certainly my bold strategy.

Throwing this up for the group think:
JKing+Wilton > TPJ+Manu

JKing is close to his peak and Wilton's place is becoming less stable due Graham's return date.
TPJ's discipline is scary but he looks like he has sorted himself out and Manu is set and forget. Both play round 13 and non-origin.

I also have Leo and Nanai which are probably tradeouts next week.

Yay or Nay? General thoughts also appreciated

Dunno why more folks aren't all over TPJ. As soon as I saw he was the #1 offloader last year he was straight into my team. The new 4 points per offload to hand is ridiculous, hopefully gets changed next year. Had him since round 1.

He was somewhat popular, despite being one of the most suspended players in the comp, until he neatly got suspended twice in the first 20 minutes of the trial game against the Sharks. Then he missed round 1 anyway.
And has since spent time bouncing around between middle and edge.
Has upside for sure but is definitely not a risk free proposition.

We've seen worse players score 60+. Not giving up much if he has a shocker. Another player to ride and one from your own team, why the fuck not aye?

I've backed this up with a poor 18-21 so you don't consider playing anyone else

If I am going for a set and forget CTR, I'd rather Aitken or Burton than Manu.

Also I don't think Wilton is an urgent tradeout whilst he still has a spot in the team. It is worrying his scores have dropped every week, so hopefully he can reverse that this week.

Well I've got Leo Thompson. I could play him over Nanai? How's that for a brain buster?

I like it two guns come in,

@Matt - If Wilton gets say... -40 this week are you trading him out next week?

Wouldn't be an urgent trade out, but would most likely have to be done over the next 2 weeks or so.


(Not sure who else here has him)

Wilton has had a knee injury and HIA that have stopped him from playing 80 in 2 of his 4 games. Is a bit like Tuilagi, just needs to stay on the field. I expect him to make a lot of tackles vs Storm this week.

Why is Waddell out? Dropped or...?

Anyone else rate the Bulldogs here?

Appreciate the thoughts.

I hear what you're saying re:Wilton and ideally I would like to hold both Wilton and JKing another week and bank some trades but with Thompson and Nanai needing to be punted soonish so I dont want to be stuck holding all 4 and losing those gains.

Already have Aitken and am aiming for Burton. Manu's DPP is massively attractive. Thinking I'll keep him all year and punt Scrita after 13.

Injured I think

Should be a good battle between bottom 8 teams haha

I don't see it being a hiding, but comfortably tipped Rabbits.
