I’m prepared to eat crow. Just to me seems unlikely. He has 20 edge players to chose from in his squad and he wants to move a beast lock. I know he’s not fantasy relevant but Radley is very good

Watson is fantastic as well. Deserves more than a small bench role. Started the year killing it in NSW cup playing 80 at lock. Had their best win of the season with him playing 80 as lock / hooker.

Butcher hasn't locked in 80 each week at EDG. Can be on early in MID rotation, then move to EDG to play out the game when Radley moves to lock. Would still play decent minutes.

Will see what happens in final team lists.

Trading out Brandon, Terrell and Ethan.

Trading in Connor, Trai and Max.

Going with gut feel and aiming to get some spots sured up now ahead of the major byes.

Short of WFBs, MID and HOK for R13 the way things are going.

Not sure if mentioned here, but apparently Radley will come in for Butcher on the EDG, with Watson keeping lock and Butcher playing off the bench. Source: Jamie on youtube who apparently got it from Robbo originally.

If Watson can pick up HOK dual and keep playing 70-80 minutes at lock and HOK he is going to be a steal that almost no-one is getting on yet and with a really low BE this week.

Looking at Fuller, with HTF due back R12 currently, it would be unusual to move Trai out of fullback, then have him back there for each Origin round. Might as well leave him there, has been great, and play HTF in CTRs, where he will be in Origin anyway and played lots there last year. Surely if Kodi could keep HTF at CTR last year, Fuller can.

Plath helps me fill the awkward R13 MID spot, which before this round was only Salmon and Hughes in my team, who may not be around much longer.

Have you considered limiting your risk exposure by only doing one of these plays? I think there is some chance that either Fuller or Watson can keep their positions, although you would have short odds on either. Banking on both coming off and wasting the extra trades is only going to wreck your shit. Also i’m sure you have this counted and planned, but these are three more R14 bye players for your team, albeit after clearing out three. Not interested in Teddy, Weekes etc?

Just going to do fun moves and see what can happen, may work, may not. Will wait on Weekes until after the Raiders bye. Also have my eye on Bateman and Brailey. Not looking at Teddy. Will see if I can set up a decent team for the byes and then try to hold some trades over that period.

Don't think there was any response to the post but since so many are bring Plath in this week it's a good question

Fuller is good out of trouble but close to the line Phins NEED Hammer as the link. Fuller has zero passing game. It was evident against the Knights that the lad lacks in that aspect of the game. Hammer is the long term FB of the club.

Fuller has 1 try assist in 2 games, HTF has a 0.2 try assist per game record. It isn't his strength either. Both are running fullbacks.
