    I have enough cash to grab any WFB, current shortlist is Ponga, Trbo and CNK, my thoughts on all 3 below, what does every else think:

    Ponga has looked brilliant the last few weeks, kicks goals which helps his base and probably misses Origin with Walsh as the incumbent
    Trbo has been averaging a bit less than the other big names however I feel he has been pretty close to some huge plays, plays Origin and as always is an injury concern
    CNK has started the season great, no Origin however I have my doubts that his scoring is sustainable

    I would go Ponga

    Think I’d rank this Ponga, CNK, Turbo.

    If Ponga doesn’t make Origin then he could be a great grab covering 13 and 14

    If they were all the same price I'd take Ponga slightly over Turbo. 100k difference though I'll take Turbo

    CNK not on my radar because I have same concerns over scoring

    I'm in a pickle... so close to Hutch --> Hynes but just don't have the cash. I could go Burbo --> Shoes back in to get the coin. Already have Stewart and Iro. Is this a good idea?

    Yeah currently since posting I've swayed more towards Ponga, goal kicking and may miss Origin is pretty big. Leaves me this:

    Egan
    Carrigun Alpha Terrell
    Angus KPP
    Hynes Fog
    Kiraz Iro
    Ponga Gutho Papy
    Lussick Shoes Salmon Galvin
    Strange Stewart Piakura Chan

    I really like them all except Chan but can bide my team finding a replacement for him and will just use him to loop for now.

    Left myself with far too much coin to spend this week. The options are mind boggling with 3 trades instead of 2

    I'd rank them Ponga > CNK > Turbo

    Ponga has the best upside. CNK feels like the best base and least likely to miss long periods through injury.

    I've got Turbo but not the other two, and he's incredibly frustrating to watch, wish I had one of the other two instead, but trades seem too sideways

    I already have CNK - but would def get Ponga over Turbo if you have the coin. I’ll prolly do it this week.

    Smithies it's clear he has stepped up to not just being the alpha in the Raiders pack but the Alpha of the entire comp

    Is bringing in SJ now just chasing points? Tossing up between SJ or Brown.

    Thanks! Yeah that's a big step level change from earlier rounds. Definitely noticed it with someone like Murray who obviously scored poorly due to HIA but dropped far more than I expected.

    What are Murray owners doing this week. Doesn’t miss extra week for HIA with bye but probably going to tank in value before Origin where he’s probably sell (moreso latter period missing 16, 17, 19)

    I somehow still have 5 trade out options despite max trading (Murray, Campbell, Hutch, Levi, Talagi) with 321k ITB

    I am seriously considering the same. Solves my MID issue (for now), and lets me go up to Ponga as an elite WFB instead of a cheap WFB and gun MID.
