But up to you. Dogs going bad and Kiraz doesn’t look fully fit to me

Wise words

Just superb work mate, much appreciated.

Excellent work @robelgordo

No changes to the Eels or Warriors. Volkman still in reserves for those who like a bit of panic haha

That's a great point Rabs. I'll probably be running Teddy, Meaney and Garrick as my 3 WFBs so makes a lot of sense to just grab Kris for a cashout. Less consistent playstyle than Kiraz but as you pointed out I won't regularly be playing him!

Appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Running JDB & Tapine tonight
Looping for Fainu (Yuck) so I can see Tapine's score and will shift to Tohu if he spuds it up.
Actually ended up with too many Mids & Edges, but not enough WFB to field 13.
I really don't get Fantasy.

Depends where you're ranked and your risk aversion, but I'd personally loop JDB unless VC'd. Highly owned and an unfortunate injury affected single digit score could get you a big leg up on the field if you managed to avoid it.

Who’s the best CTW play between Timoko Penisini and Lemuelu?

Probably Timoko against Dragons

Penis won’t get enough good ball without Gutho and Moses, and Lemmy has fallen off

Yes

No problem mate I was in a similar situation need a WFB this week and I could not go past Kris as the cash out due to probs just playing this week and hopefully only once more on the run home. He’s got that DPP, plays FB in a good team as well good job security as well. I was tempted by Munro but I had to take emotion out of it and do what’s best for my team.

I agree with this.

I've been looking at how fullbacks have gone against the Dragons

ROUND	PLAYER	FANTASY
12	James Tedesco	84
6	Jayden Campbell	68
7	Sebastian Kris	61
8	James Tedesco	56
17	Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad	53
3	Reece Walsh	51
18	William Kennedy	47
10	Jahream Bula	46
9	Hayze Perham	45
2	Alexander Brimson	40
15	Blake Taaffe	39
4	William Kennedy	37
14	Dylan Edwards	35
11	Scott Drinkwater	33
13	Kodi Nikorima	30
5	Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow	28

That's an average of 47 for Fullbacks vs the red V so far, with a floor of 28 (weirdly bottom two are both Dolphins) and a lower quartile of 37.
Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but at $315k Seb Kris seems pretty nice IF you're likely to get a 30+ (which so far has been the case)
Great JS and DPP doesn't hurt either and seems a much better option than Munro for $65k more

He is on the bye in R20, so need to be sure how that affects your numbers, but I think I'm going to gamble on him

That's an interesting list, thanks for putting it together!

I do like being at the end of the season where there's finally enough data to draw conclusions. Thanks ET

Dunno why you’re picking between those nuffies when Cotric is the correct answer

SJ officially confirmed;

The Warriors website wrote:There was uncertainty this week whether Johnson would make the trip with wife Kayla expecting to give birth to the couple’s second child soon.

But today the 32-year-old boarded the Sydney-bound flight with his teammates for the club’s vital 19th-round NRL clash against the Eels.

Very sad to say that I'm Vsing SaveTheCherleader in the first round of eliminator, unfortunately we wont be seeing them post anymore because I'll be taking the W
