? Do you watch the games or just the stats? Turbo was the best Sea-Eagle on the park not named Daly in week 1, just wasn’t on the right end of the point-scoring stats like he was in Week 2

He makes a lot of tackles, in the top 3 for Titans players each game this season. The narrative is that he 'does nothing' but his base stats are up there at the higher end compared to other edge forwards. eg he is basically avg the exact same tackles/run metres as IPAP to start this season (small sample etc). Its the expectation that he will run through gaps palming off blokes game after game, but he is  the most marked up player in their team.

Big games will come, obviously.

Interested to hear people's expectations for Walsh for a season average.

I have him at mid 40s, without kicking and goal kicking, a massive step up from last season, and his breakout massive rookie season, which calculated to 38 points per game under today's point scoring. That places him below keeper tier, similar to Miller for more cost, probably playing origin.

Are others expecting him to average low 50s the same as he has started the year, which would mean a 20+ try 20+ assist year?

To save yourself 30 pages in summary

buy

Kiraz if you want to average 45pts +
Walsh if you want to average 45pts + (for cheaper)

The answer is Sloan

Lets fix that for you.

Kiraz - if you want a secure base of 35+ points each week, upside of a banner, with a 50 average if the Bulldogs suck this season, and significant upside if they don't suck, and as a winger he gets a decent number of tries this season.

Walsh - if you want a 45 average, unless you think he can have a Turbo 2021 like season, to average low 50s.

The answer may still be Sloan.

Sloan has scored twice in 2 weeks, and Warbrick hasn't scored yet. Seems to be the sor of trade where oce you make it Sloan will go on a dry spell and Warbrick will get a few tries.

In general Sloan seems more involved, so might still be a winning trade

Just annoying as Sloan was in a lot of draft teams all pre-season, then seemed to leave them all for round 1 (I guess jitters about starting with a round 1 bye player? Trust in Talau/ITT/HSS/Warbrick instead?)
