I didn’t think that about tedesco

Broncos have knocked off two of the best 3 teams in consequence weeks have 4 games at suncorp in a row then titans,

They have proved they are the real deal this year, primed to score lots of points, that draw is worth factoring in

To say it’s not is fanciful

Leaves me with no CTR cover for a week but might solve that when Tricky has to go (and Talau wasn’t going to do a great job anyway)

Means I don’t have to play Doorey and can have a look at a few dudes (cheese, Sloan, Boyd)

Only have 17 green dots at the moment and probs want to keep Ford

Could go a more ambitious move with Smith or Boyd to Bird/HTF/another to solve a Ctr spot but I think it will keep

What do youse reckon?

Has he been training Te Whare down?

Pretty much what I expect from Walsh. Doesn't have the Teddy playstyle to go much above that.

Still a great buy at the price and I'll probably just go with him, but can't help but wonder if Miller can manage close to a 40 average for $100k less. Has more potential than Walsh for good cash gen too due to his lower price if he strings a couple good games together.

Do you need to move Cleary?

I gave the thumbs up for Cheese to Tohu

but what about Cheese Turuva to Tohu/DCE Cheapie

Agree, unless when papa returns Tapine goes there (don't think it's likely, but as you said... Sticky)

I have both and am happy to roll with them until someone bottoms out (could be Teddy in a few weeks??)

Walsh is going to score 120 this week

I've got $20 on Walsh for top try scorer at the NZ TAB @$51.00.

I largely agree with you on walsh long term average.

Somewhat disagree that last week is his ceiling. Not to say he has to play 'better', but fantasy doesnt always work like that.

Also, i think if you grab walsh now its for a hot run of form, not necessarily season average. Its a match ups pick, which we know how well that usually goes, but as other fella said, its hard to ignore. Average of 50+ in the next 5 weeks is realistic possibility before tapering off as the season wears on

Also agree re last post on perham, but for some reason he feels really iffy. Unsure why

Some bold calls there fellas

Miller should average more than 40, just needs to be written into the set plays coming in from the back.

Do the Knights have set plays??

Tapine has told Sticky he is a prop, not a lock.

Yeah I had Walsh in my team until TLT R1 and switched him out to Miller after he was ruled out with the facial injury.

I was a bit worried about his first game back after such a short turn-around, and he was so involved.

I now have Teddy-Miller-Walsh, and am very happy to ride them right through with Warbrick backing up.

I think Teddy averages 52, Miller 45, Walsh 48, but who really knows?
