Only Egan Butcher from the "regular" starters this year a chance of displacing him once he returns from head knock

Wong been going good enough there is a chance he holds the spot and Egan plays middle off the bench

Thanks mate. You'd think Egan more suited for edge with Wong from the bench but to be fair I haven't noticed Wong at all.

Think Wong is gonna have a red hot crack at ruining his fantasy price for 2024 these last few rounds. Play style similar to a young Cordner where he is happy to get in and do the tough stuff

Wait, Butcher isn't even in the squad this week. Definitely playable this week then.

I know Robbo was impressed with him last week.

My 4 red dots in NPRs are killing me every time there's a bye.
Been way too reckless with trades, only 1 left but getting sick of running with 16.
What's the consensus on Dan Russell (Dragons Edge), is there a reason why he's in the starting side?
Is he just a place holder until Bird gets back?

Help.

Nah, seems like the spot is his. Another I'm weighing up. Bird is roasted mate.

Had issues with both the wings and the legs!

JDB to Yeo,Murray or Latrell?

Expect them all to miss one game, Yeo will be most consistent,

Latrell most fun

Murray best eyes

Up to you

Nothing much in it tbh

If you reckon he'll keep the spot id probably do it but that might put me in the minority. Especially if it means avoiding playing a shitto. He seems to be a decent fantasy scorer

To answer this properly I’d prob go least owned in top 1000 as a pod

With Drinkwater out, Kris Dead, I'm forced to play Cotric this week. With Papali chilling in 18th man.

Or I'm tempted to risk a DCE/Munster to Latrell trade. This will give me better cover for Penisini in round 27 too

Per above, curious question to fill in the quiet

How many are trading out Drinkwater? If holding, who subs in?

I'm still unsure. Makes sense both ways. Hold if low on trades and can cover or swap to Latrell if you can afford it. Depends on the other trade out options I guess.

I don't have great depth in CTR/WFB with Cotric as my only cover now Kris is dead. Means I'd have to play Cotric this round and Round 27 when Penisini is out.

Currently got Papali on 18th man. Looking at trading DCE or Munster (as have plenty of half cover) to Latrell.

This means this round and Round 27 I get Latrell (50) + Papali (45) vs Munster(55) + Cotric (25)

Looks like a get an extra 30 points ish over two rounds. So maybe not worth the trade...

I'm inclined to just hold him as I'm looking at Hands and Penis out. My options for those two are Hutch/Tino, or Latrell/Russell. Trading Drinkwater and say Hands doesn't really improve my second trade in (or who I'm playing in that position) enough to warrant trading him out......I think. Would mean I can loop a couple of shittos at least.

I solved the R24 Drinkwater dilemma by never buying him in the first place

Only have 1 trade so need to hold

Manu fills in at wfb

Ctrs are Garrick and Ramien

Edwards will probably get negative points this week because he seems to find new ways to be outscored by Drinkwater each week

I went with Teddy over Drinkwater in rd 10 because of pedigree and all that. I've calculated it cost me about 150 points and a top 100 spot since that point (was in the top 100 in rd 10)
