This is the way I've been going the last few weeks. Due to cash gen being poor I need to gamble on some lower tier keepers exceeding expectations. Cotter in round 4, Teddy in round 7 looking good. BSmith in round 7 not looking good

Grabbed McInnes and Walsh last week, grabbing Robson this week

Might end up with a 17 of "below tier" options come end of season but they will be scoring competitive when the alternative is running someone like Ilias as 15,16,17 if I go with top priced guns

Current team:

So other than Jones, all green dots. Thoughts are Tuilagi to the bench as a "rest" so willing to wait a week, then reevaluate next week. SWalker holding till 14. Ilias on the up. Lee set and forget 21 (slow burn).

Main ones are Jones + Hetherington to dump, so tentatively gone to People's + Butcher - but do want to start saving.

BSmith should be useful over origin. As a Grant owner im looking at picking Smith up in rd 14 and holding him as a 18th man. Whenever Grant is out or rested BSmith will be good to go.

Sorry just a quick question, why is everyone after a Bulldogs winger?

they need someone to replace that south’s centre they bought a few weeks ago and Kiras had a good game once

Or is it because his season average is set at 48?

I don't mind waiting a week on Tuilagi, but my gut feel is he is probably done for now. I think they'll just run with Garner for a while and try to get a bit more impact from Tuilagi in shorter stints.

What a match up this week between the Tigers and Dogs. Probably an early spoonbowl contender. Tigers back at Leichardt. Twal to score his first ever try. Dogs off a coach being sacked and likely a bunch of changes. Gus giving them the pre game origin style motivational talk. Lol

Tigers win because teams first week back from a coach sacking is a myth, they usually lose. They'll be flat and half of them had the flu anyway.

Tigers same 17 in round 12.

Best winger since, maybe including, Eric Grothe.

You'd think people would learn re buying 2nd and 3rd string outside backs in shit teams.

Haha I already have Edrick Lee I don’t think I want to double down with Kiraz.

Trades this week are tough

Would be pretty keen to grab RFM and Butcher this week if RFM somehow makes the team

Kiraz has averaged 48 in NSW cup as well, with just 4 tries in 8 games.

I bet once trades are done and we are all content, settling into the weekend, Tommy will be a late out. Albeit would be Friday anyway, not to late.

He’s 257k, R13, seems to have the spot on merit, and will be a WFB/CTR soon. If you’re selling 2 middies and going gun/cow, could do worse. I think would choose over Peoples.

They aren’t leaving Nicholls or Sele out and Havili has been killing it and the coach likes Knight  for some stupid reason.

Peoples probs starts this week and next but unsure after that. Just don’t be shocked if he’s 18th-19th man by round 14.

I hope Moale becomes a red dot soon so can become a looper

Look, I don't hate it and might go that path anyway. Cover at WFB would be handy since I'd have none by selling Coates.

Its still just a gamble on a guy who could be back out of the team in two weeks time and could in all likelihood average 22

I wouldnt expect much from RFM initially, likely to be eased in like Tohu has been.

There’s loads of options this week but none of them under 600k are sure things. On balance, I think he’s possibly one of the better bets. Needs to be named first.

Guy who doesn’t want Bulldogs winger wants Bulldogs edge that hasn’t played for a year due to a recurring foot injury

Yep he's coming back from a navicular fracture. This from NRL Physio back in March:

"Bulldogs hoping for a 3-4 month return, can’t understate how tricky recovery is from navicular fractures. Will have to check if bone is healed @ 6 weeks, not always the case due to poor blood supply. Often gradual & extended recovery with a slow return to peak performance"

and also:
"It’s a tight race between those 2 [Lis franc], but I’d argue a navicular fracture is worse. Has ended careers, guys have required multiple surgeries & bone grafts. More unpredictable recovery than most injuries"

Based on that I'd be giving him a few weeks.
