I'm no Rabbits but not sure if he's locked in to a spot. His game last week didn't hurt his chances though.

I brought in Munro so it turned out better than Talau.
Great advice.

Hynes, Cleary, SJ, Moses all ahead of DCE with Munster also in the mix.

There aren’t too many FBs putting their hands up this season screaming pick me.

I’d go Garrick if I had to choose.

I'm not sure SJ and Moses are clearly better options than DCE, especially considering the price difference. DCE averages 63.7 without Turbo since 2018, Moses is averaging 64.1 and SJ 62.6, not sure there's much between them and DCE clearly the best value of the 3.

Manly also have a reasonable draw: Cowboys, Sharks, Dragons, Roosters, Penrith, Warriors, Bulldogs, Tigers. 5/8 bottom 8 teams including teams 15, 16, and 17 on the ladder, could be decent for attacking stats.

Did you just call me a clown?

I did indeed and if you want to do something about it I'll drive over there in my tiny car, just give me a minute to grab my wig, giant shoes and prosthetic nose

If Cleary is named, I’m picking him. Waiting a week is for people that hate points. We all have at least 8 again, use them or lose them

It's tempting. The decision will be whether I get 3 guns in DiFi, Yeo, and DCE, or just two in Cleary and DiFi. Don't think I can maneuver a way to get all of Cleary, DiFi, and Yeo in this week without a magical Grant/Haas-like cashout popping up. Origin likely makes the decision for me when someone inevitably gets injured.

Awesome.  I don't feel so guilty then haha.

As long as there is room in that tiny car for me. I'm sure there's room in there for all of us.

Funro scored 50? Lol its right there in the name isnt it. I dont get fantasy

Wfb keeper 50 avg

Not sure if Tino's rest after SOO 2 was unplanned or if the Titans have a schedule for origin players

My original post was for picking Garrick instead of DCE, as there are greater options in the halves than in wfb. Not to avoid buying DCE entirely

most people (not me) have Hopgood

Wouldn't the optimal bench be?


Half
Half
Mid/Edge (Hopgood)
Hooker

DCE looks one of the best points per $ available in the top end premos.

This might be considered a wasted trade but I’m actually tempted to bring Yeo in for Hopgood

Ah fair, gotcha.

Even then though, is Garrick clearly a better option than DEdwards, Teddy, Ponga, Walsh, Marzhew, or Isaako, who are all cheaper?

Why would 2 halves on the bench be optimal? You’d be extremely unlucky to have both your starting halves out in the same week. I think it’s way more likely to have a middle and an edge missing in the same week

To maximise the scoring of your team given they are typically the highest scoring.

5 Halves in the top 10 Scorers.

Cant see any position that you can get 60ish+ guys in the 17-21

No we can’t be clear about any of that. He could be the worst of the bunch for all we know. I just think he’s going to finish the season really strong at fb.

If I had the option to pick any 3 wfbs right now to finish the season it would be Mitchell, Walsh, Drinky

Anyone getting Murray? That price looks tempting, south’s gonna need to win every game, should be good for big minutes

DCE has the 10th highest average in the game taking out Sexton and Alick. Halves have the top two spots, three of the top five, four of seven.. I don't think I'll be able to afford 4 even with DCE, but for people that can and have someone like Ford at 18th man, it's probably the best combo.

Josh Reynolds retiring - last game in NSW Cup at Belmore this weekend

Another for my “played a generation (or two) too late” list

Piakura probably the best cheapie? Would ideally like cheaper but not looking flash
