If I wasn’t trying to get 13 on the park I’d be staying away from all of these sub 500k WFB/CTRs this week. But it is what it is this week, so hoping to get the best bang for buck.

Luckily Multialo was well out of the price range for consideration

Yeah in your spot I'd definitely go for it. Hopefully land on someone who bags a 35-50 (not too big because I won't have them )

Simpkin only got 26, with a be of -13 it doesn't matter but might get 1 more week out of him?

Edit - Actually Nvm, sell when Api is back

Should have one more decent price left in him after last nights effort.

But yep when Koro returns we can fire him into the sun

Depends on Api I suppose Finchy, might need to sell him to get Fifita in round 20 though

I’ve gone VTW and probably Averillo. I’m not thrilled but hope they can find 70 points between them

What if you already have Fifita?

I'll hope for 85+ then with VTW making up the bigger half. Avo definitely one in that range that could go well. I was tempted by Munro, but my team suddenly looks a bit shit next week for 16-17th man.

No second OL for Nikora, but pretty happy with his and Ramien's debut for my team. 391/6c for an artificial rank rise from 452 to 228. Only playing 11 though, so all downhill the rest of the weekend.

Yeah Munro definitely makes next weeks shopping trip a bit easier to manage but yeah not sure I want to kill off a spot just yet

50 and 35 it is. I’ll take it

Hoping Sean can Russell up a 50+ at FB this week

Where did you hear he's had a foot injury which lowered his minutes dude?

If true, makes him a real good cash down as he's 500 and if going back to 60+ he scores at about .8

Not sure on timelines but earlier in the season NrlPhysio said he was playing through a plantar fasciitis tear (thought it was more recent than it was end of March). Just realised he also had a rib injury during his down period through May and maybe June as well through.

Definitely no concrete evidence on him being 'over' anything or the true impact they even had but I might take the punt

Just to reconfirm SJ is playing this weekend?

Seems to be the likely scenario. Plane leaves today so should know if he’s on it at least

At this stage yes

Yes, that was me, but I make my own decisions. No trades made yet.

I thought it was you or Khany.  Sorry again mate.  Hopefully whoever you pick matches his score.

Still undecided myself.

Ah ha, it’s bedtime in uk, so I will find out by checking thread tomorrow

Thank you

Sell him for Wakeham?

I was looking at most WFB's this week but on the higher price end, I strongly considered paying up for Mulitalo or Kennedy. Almost went Mulitalo. If I went with either though, I probably would have rage quit last night. That's tough to swallow for anyone that did get Ronnie in.

Painful, no doubt.

But look, I bought TPJ a week before he lights up the skies with an 11. And Brimson/Robson/Young before Freddy. Cheese in and out, TTurbo in and out, Teddy in and out and soon to be in again....

There's a lot of luck in the game. That's part of the charm. Sure skill plays a major role, but luck is the key determinant.

Just gotta enjoy the sound of dice rolling, and be prepared to take your licks when they snake-eye.
