    Currently holding Kini in my EMG, Downgrading him to a Baseprice WFB would allow me to upgrade Hopgood to Haas. Worth it or play the pick and hope game with Kini and settle for Less damaging but better offloading Hopgood?

    Could downgrade Ponga to Tedesco. Ponga will likely drop and Teddy will likely go up in price. Rapana a punt for the third spot could cash you up to go Teddy, Ponga and Pappy

    Titans said 4-5 originally. Means best case 3 weeks of Kini, with a bye in the middle, most likely 2 weeks, possibly 1 week.

    Lots of uncertainty around other guys in the backs that could be selected as well, Raiders cheapies, Burbo. Could be a sudden dumpster fire and only 2 trades to sort it out, along with any other injuries or suspensions. Not worth the risk.

    Now NRL casualty ward says R3 too. Titans bye Week2. I am into trade saving this year for the run home. I think I will bet on a cheapie being available R1

    this week

    Cleary (C) Tupounuia (VC) Piakura it is and be damned

    Original statement was 4-5 weeks for Campbell, but reality seems to be more optimistic than that.

    I'd say any more than 2 games for Kini would be ambitious thinking, and he's just not good enough to have with such poor job security

    Ponga could go up as well. It is the goal kicking that floats by boat with him. adds the extra layer of reliability on top of being a top choice WFB long terms VC option Bye still a way off. I can see Tedesco being up and down, Reece Walsh doing something equally as stupid as brilliant, Cobbo, nt cuttingit a CTR. Ponga is the premium WFB and maybe he decides to not play SOO again this year

    With Teddy, I think you’re hoping for a 2021 start to the year and not last seasons beginning.
    Walsh: he’ll make you regret picking him for 75 mins of a game, then BAM! you breathe a sigh of relief
    Cobbo: priced at 41, averages 38 at centre, can he get to to Tago, Gagai, Farnworth levels?

    Any other Base price WFB that could get the nod for round 1?

    Which of these scenarios is preferable?

    A. Start with Wong and Silly, and have to drop one in a few rounds if they prove to not be getting enough minutes or dropped when JWH (or maybe Crichton) comes in.

    B. Start with one of them and scramble to trade them to the other in when it turns out you chose the wrong one, and miss out on some price rises.

    Tatola is just so fucking boring as a pick. Worst case if one dropped can become Schuster if quick return

    Just made that decision for the same reason...

    Yum Sitili and Wong, might use my reserves and push the Weak Gutted Dog to 18th man. Don't fully trust him even if starting.

    Don't know why Tatola so popular on FB teams. He was boring to own last season and I can't see any upside

    I can see Tallis Duncan coming in for Moale, or even MCK.
