CONS:
coming off hamstring injury, job security risk, not basement price.

BUILT FOR FANTASY

Hope it goes well

How's things looking for your team DK?  I see you've been hanging around the top 200 for the last few rounds, fielding 13 this week?

12 for me this week after using 4 trades. Walsh and Miller stopped me from saving a trade and fielding 13.

Crazy though, cannot locate balls large enough.

Got a couple here if you wanna borrow for the weekend

I think you are right.

With Starling and Cotric on the bench, the ideal would be Tapine and Horse share the lock and edge positions for 80 minutes each, with the 2 bench MIDs sharing time with Pap and Saulo.

Is it worth bringing in DylBrown so I don’t have to play both Crossland and Katoa?

Will your wife notice they're gone from her purse?

In all seriousness, Finchy is right - Warriors have big wraps on Metcalf for a reason.

40min back in NSW cup a few weeks back to test him out and he's straight back as a starting half displacing Volkman (happened to score 46 fantasy points in that 40min)

Passes the test of “players I’m excited to watch” which is a big consideration when your rank is as mediocre as mine. I’m grabbing him this week.

didn't Volkman injure his finger?

TMM is also due back round 15 too

Anyone else still holding ARey?

I feel like the success of my round will depend on how he goes.. I'm only one of 1.76% in the top 5k who own him lol - probably for good reason

One of those Rounds where you can stuff up your C/VC quite easily, double check all, talking from previous experience !

If Metcalf plays to his potential, he gets the spot on merit.

Who do I have the avatar bet with on Warriors to beat Broncos this weekend?

Metcalf is more SJ long term replacement isn't he? Before the comeback player of the year effort from SJ this season

That would be a nice joke if I had a wife

Pretty sure he is more a running 6 than a game manager, Volkman more a 7.

Was really happy to get 12 on the park but can only really see me holding ground going off the other stacked teams I am seeing. Good luck everyone, fuck Butters

Thats what I am trying to remember, I am on Warriors, they have Broncos without their 2 best attacking players and their starting MIDs.
