is it an upgrade or sideways?

I think the horse has bolted on Drinkwater, he's been on a purple patch and expensive now. I'm even considering selling next week. I would look at Garrick or Edwards instead personally. Good luck!

Do you have a preference? considering both as well.

I think they both go well. Lean towards Yeo, I suspect he averages higher, but also more likely to be rested at some stage.

I'd jump off Bula. Tigs without Brooks are more woeful. Boyd probably bounces back decently imo

Brooks due back soon though, yeah?

At this stage I’m thinking of the following trades
Cook to Grant
Bula to DCE

Leaving the following team with 6 trades and 13k

Grant
Matto NAS Hopgood
Fifita IPap
Hynes SJ
Lemuelu Manu
Ponga Garrick Teddy

Moses
Preston
DCE
Hands

JDB
Horse
VTW
Kris

Could turn VTW to Graham for extra funds but not sure if it’s worth holding this round and seeing what Dolphins look like after their bye. Anyone else have any suggestions or want to comment on my team in general?

Pretty much a brag post Nice Team! Cook and Bula to Grant and DCE seem like great trades.

If Johnson is a late out, Johnson to Cleary could be a goer - SJ would miss two of the next three rounds.

After Hynes has a 90 point game

Bula also probably benefits from Api back, but yeah agree Boyd probably bounces back more?

Hmm this too.

Making Tino average more for the remainder?

It's going to be a whitewash isn't it

Yes @Revraiser prepare your butthole for a reaming

The blues win this one. We can’t have “the death of origin”.

Oh wait. Here’s Greg Inglis on a platter.

Yeah I sell if he misses 20/22. Carrigan similar for me with 20/25

Bring in the big dogs Cleary and Fifita instead

I need a gun WFB to pair with Drinkwater and Ponga but am having a hard time splitting the options.


Tedesco 650k - Obvious choice, he had a disappointing first half of the season but has come good with the scores in the last few games.

Garrick 680k - Always scores well at fullback and has the additional bonus of goal kicking to raise his floor.

D. Edwards 614k - Cheapest, was on fire to start the year but scores have dropped off since Cleary got injured, with Cleary back can potentially expect a rise in attacking stats again.


Anyone with any additional thoughts? They probably all average 48 for the rest of the season anyway.

Thanks for the reply mate,haha trust me it’s not. I’ll run out of trades and burn out late like I usually do most likely. Sitting just outside the top 400 at this stage

Im in the same boat and have been contemplating moving Manu to wfb and buying Gagai..

Depends who his replacement is in your team.

Yes. Yes it is.

I'm free to avatar bet though, having humiliated @Krump.

I'll give 3.5 points head start though. One week avatar. First come first serve.

As you say, they are all good options. Throw a dart at them, should all do well.

I have Ted already, and am likely getting one of Garrick or Edwards. I prefer Garrick, but might have to get Edwards due to price. Good luck!

Marzhew the highest averaging WFB and nobody having a look. Isaako up there too. Pure bias to FBs over WGs despite the empirical evidence. (Also guilty of it)
