    That’s a long long time ago. Surely he has to be making those big kick metres if he’s going to average 40+ for a few weeks

    He does. But why wouldn't he if playing next to Brimson? For me, the question isn't whether he'll score well in the role (he should score like Tanah Boyd minus the goalkicking but plus actually being able to play football) it's whether his broken body actually stays on the field for long enough to make it a value trade.

    JD said he has 3 weeks to make the spot his own, indicating he’s open to starting him at FB long term.
    Latrell has said he’s willing to play wherever is best for the team.

    Looked great despite the HIA, was breaking tackles and getting involved. Seems to be what the team needs. Bit of concern about a coaching change but by all accounts, he is highly thought of.

    What say you bunnies fans?

    I was just thinking the same thing... In this scenario he's have DPP just in time for R13

    I don't trust Kevvie to pick Willison over Fletcher Baker on the bench when Haas is back, with Kobe taking the other bench middle spot. If he gets the spot, I don't know how many mins he plays because Haas will play close to 70, Patty playing close to 80, so it's really the remainder of Jensen's mins + 10?

    I'm bringing in Willison this week, I reckon he's too good to leave out of the broncos best 17. There is risk but he's looking like the next Terrell May to me!
    If that doesn't eventuate at least he'll get mins over origin

    Cheers for the responses regarding the Willison v Waddel trade in, I too think Willison looks a dangerous player, just needs the minutes for the output, obviously during origin his minutes will rise, plus around 50k cheaper than Waddel. Waddel starting role does look juicy though, he certainly gets involved in defence, but also likes a miss tackle, Willison however likes a tb and offload. Definitely 2 different styles of player, but both look on the rise price wise over the next month

    David Riccio was saying that he would have been at fullback if Latrell wasn't suspended, with Latrell in CTRs.

    Whats the deal with Mariota? Did he replace Hosking and play on the edge and score 1PPM even though he played 72 minutes on the edge for 22 points the week before? Pretty rocks and diamonds, but hard not to take notice of a 57 at $341k. Is there any update on Whitehead? I heard a rumour Hosking is out for a while (source- the grapevine)

    Yeah, I got sold on him yesterday. Would pick him up this week if it opened up certain trains that required a cheapie, but it's not really a factor this week.

    If positional requirements weren't a factor, I'd do Burbo to Gray this week for a loop option, but my need for a CTR currently has me picking up Chester, which I don't love, but I think it needs to be done.

    At this point I'll dismiss Finefeuiaki for him next week.

    Wait, Hale and Pace references but offended someone thought you were older than them? I’m older than you and my recollection of Hale and Pace was my Mum watching it.

    I put this down to high intelligence and attention to detail and appreciation of things ahead of my time.
    It's like all the knob end 20yo these days who legit think all the cover songs are originals, but they are rip-offs of old classics. Just unaware.

    I must have been 11 or 12 and loving Hale and Pace.

    He was in the centres for a lot of that 22 point game when Kris went to FB for Rapana

    I actually traded him into my Auto-Fill team yesterday before I remembered Whitehead. I don't think there's anything concrete on him but it seems like one of those scenarios where Whitehead just turns up either next Tuesday or the one after without any fanfare.

    Alternatively, Matiota could play there for weeks and be the one we all missed.

    I know for most, too many Raiders is probably the main issue. It's not for me, but it just seems too risky for me in terms of JS.

    And you can actually use him? I have Cleary and Piakura but can't do anything with either of them because all my spuds play in the last three game of the round. It's very sad. Would love to see a couple of Chevy, Hughes, Finefeuiaki or Chester play, but I have to pick straight up this week.
