Don't think he's the worst pickup. The DPP is handy of course. How long is Burbo out? I think Rob posted before it's maybe 3-6 weeks. Youd have to think he could make the spot his own, Burbo may return from the bench as he has more utility value than Waddell anyway

They have to catch him first, which is harder when they are tired at the end of the game?

Blore on anyone’s radar? Seems to have secured that spot. Only threat is Chan

He's not really played wing before, is there any source that he'll go there or is it just Fantasy coaches picking teams.

If he is on the wing , I'd be wary of getting him this week, in case Talakai going back to centre becomes more permanent .

Levi with a BE of 28. Not terrible if you wanted to hold

I don’t think I have a choice, but to hold. I’ve got Burbo and JC, Chan, and three Doggies on the bye next week, and I’m likely only moving on Salmon, unless Shoes has a poor outing this week.

Are any Koro owners considering trading? I know he has his ups and downs with scoring but he looks like he’s being affected by that hammy, and I am suspecting I overestimated the Tigers attacking prowess after those first couple of blistering games. There is an argument that Galvin being out puts the brakes on the Tigers attack, and it might be smart to wait another week and see. I’m tempted to jump ship to Egan whilst it still turns a profit and because he seems like a fun little trade.

If a player is on the bench and gets no game time does he still AE?

He's treated as a non-player.

If the Titans line up 1. Kini, 6. Brimson 7. Foran, is Keiran Foran finally after 15 years a fantasy buy? Opportunity for a Jimmy Maloney-style run.

I think Weaver might come in and Brimson back to FB.

Foran is tempting at his price I admit but his limbs are held on with cable ties.

I think Brimson probably goes to fullback but if they did line up like that I bet Kini goes and kills it, averages 50 over 4 weeks. Peak fantasy.

Definitely considering it. Seems like he has lost kicking to Sezer ongoingly too

edit: nevermind he was kicking in the last game?

Feel he kicks on with Galvin but it's an awkward one.

Do you really think he’ll get close to 28?

In the middle of where, the in-goal area after the opposition score

Kid’s a turnstile

Not without a try, he won't. For me, him and Hutch are of equal importance to dismiss asap.

I see opinions here on Waddell seem to be a bit lukewarm? He'd be excellent to plug into my MID hole for next week and that BE tells me either I get him this week or I don't get him.

But if I don't get him, I can go for sexier more gun options (but no MIDs).

Torn on how to play this, because I will need a MID next week, no matter what. But I don't want a MID this week...

Maybe we need to do a revision of know your shitto?

There are plenty being considered this year:
Levi, Flanno, Hutch, Host, Talau, Foran, HSS, when will this madness end?
