Probably not but whoever selecting who gets now seems to decide who gets DPP on a whim

Matt's original quote is from Fox Sport.
The same Fox page doesn't mention Oloapu is injured and claims Gagai is out "for an undisclosed reason" even though we know it's a foot injury.
I feel stupider having read through it. So many grammatical errors.

A lot of the Fox stuff is purely speculative - best guesses and aggregation of other online sources. Hence Robson is in doubt (he probably isn't), Olapau is dropped (until the Bulldogs mention the neck injury), and so on.

Half the forum here would have a better hit rate if inclined to do team summaries at 4pm Tuesday.

Everyone also needs to remember that Matt has Granville so is hoping for a positive outcome that way. If he had Robson the hamstring would not be of concern.

Looking like a seamers pitch at Lords, trying to get Jimmy.Anderson into the game.

Luke Keary is expecting Walker back in first grade in R20.

“Hopefully Brandon and Sammy come back in and they’re refreshed and revitalised and give us a bit of energy,” Keary said.

“They are both really good attacking players so hopefully they can add something there for us.

“We can’t control that outcome but we can work really hard, we can stay together as a group, we can keep supporting each other, we can do all the right things on and off the field".

I've been holding him in L2 draft all this time, it's been a struggle but can't let go of a potential 50pt player when all the replacements are 40pts.

Decision is currently between:

Walsh to Nikora: spend most of my bank and make getting Cleary/DiFi future me's problem, but get a R19 gun who's no risk of Origin with no more byes and who's fairly PODdy.

or

Walsh to Blore: Leave a ~270k bank for Cleary/DiFi and hope Blore can make a bit of cash and continue his current scoring.

Anyone wanna convince me either way? Leaning towards just getting Nikora now and figuring out how to get the other guns when the time comes.

Tough call.

I think build the bank, but that's might be too conservative.

Just as happy to finish the season with CNK than Walsh QC

My personal approach is to have cash in hand to get the premium guns in. Makes it possible to turn a cow like Turpin, Granville etc into Fifita in a single trade.

With most having very limited trades remaining before getting the final 8, this makes it easier to navigate.

Much harder to get through without the cash sitting there. Typically means trading cleary in costs 2 trades and may be at the expense of another gun to make it happen.

Not sure that Nikora would score that much more than Blore, especially for that cash difference.

Ok guys, I have the following WFBs

Teddy, Bula, Ponga, CNK, Kris (18-21) & Manu in CTRs

if you could offload 1 of the 1st 4 names and move to D.Edwards who would it be?

Originally I was thinking CNK but he has been solid and has a nice run home

Teddy & Ponga a bit rocks or diamonds

I don’t think there is a correct answer here. Bula doesn’t miss any games from here. Teddy, Ponga and CNK all miss one.

Maybe just leave them as is

I think if you're set on trading it's still gotta be CNK, just doesn't have the ceiling of Teddy/Ponga.

Although I worry CNK -> DEdwards ends up being a bit sideways? How many trades do you have? I'd probably just hold for now. Certainly until after R19.

Tbh I wouldn't bother doing anything this week. Reassess the week after SOO.

FWIW - Ponga Teddy and Edwards have pretty much the same average over the last 6 rounds (46-48 ppg)

Edit : So does Charnze....Bula has the best by a couple of points

Isaako is better than all of them by about 4 clear points

I’d just leave it as it is..

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll hold off until after origin and the warriors bye then re-asses

Guy on SC podcast said Blore is an AE nightmare down the track. Has he not won the edge spot and Bateman stays at lock?
