Yeah of course, but the difference is when Teddy, Latrell et al get those big attacking games they really cash in and go 80+ to balance out the inevitable 20s and 30s. That's how you get the 50+ gun average.
If Walsh's 'big' games are only 50s and 60s (his all time ceiling as a starting FB is 66) and he still has the inevitable low games that all WFBs have then I don't see how he averages too much more than ~45 i.e. not enough value at his current price point.
I don't think you can gauge a 'Walsh big game' until he gets to play some spud teams. So far he scored two 50+ scores against the Cows in a competitive trial match and against them again in the 2nd round. Cows are a top team and a great defensive team, so to me his two 50+ scores in these games are a genuine positive as opposed to a negative. Happy to take that against a top opposition.
On the flip side. I had Turbo last week, where Manly trounced the Dogs, (put a score on them). Dog's defence was terrible and has been terrible for some time. He only scored 40 points, Dogs a definite bottom 8 team. Not too many people mentioned last week that he didn't post a significant score, in a game Manly dominated and attacking stats were being served up on a plate. Just pointing out logic and ways of justification can be warped depending on who you talk to.
Also, after playing top tier opposition in RND's 1 and 2, Broncs have Dragons, Dolphins, Tigers, Raiders, Titans as next 5.
I am all over Reece even if it means next week trading down Turbo.
