Made me just have a look at Aitken in the side. (Edit: must check before posting)

Can do Smith Arthars Paps for JMK Aitkin Teddy.


Looks very nice.

Will consider how it works with byes tomorrow. My guess is, not well with Teddy anyway.

All 3 of those don't play round 14.

Yeah. Just had a look.

JMK is good for Grant.

Have to work out those backs still.

12.1 & $10k. Still debating whether to use third trade and have 12.0 and $127k.

Fat boy probably hits his BE vs dragons

I kinda want to bring in Teddy, SWalker this week. But it messes badly with the bye schedule.

I really don't want to see my team hosting Foran, or Brimson, or... wait Hazelton is over 600k? For bald shit truck Mk2? FMD that's some black mirror bullshit

Haven’t seen any Dylan Walker chat

Scoring well with decent minutes. Likely to keep getting them with warriors pack injuries?

He’s scored a lot of tries close to the lining dragging a bunch of blokes with him, I think he’s on a try a game for the last 3. He’s quite a big, tall unit so hard to stop that close…..it’s not sustainable….i think

I actually brought him in in Draft last week as there were no other appealing options. Worked out okay, surprisingly.

On the back of that, looked at him in Fantasy this week and I too was smacked aback by that price tag.

I am considering doing Salmon to Joliffe instead of Fainu. My team just looks stronger with Joliffe in there instead.

Yeah, apart from the 24 in 40mins in R2 (I'm assuming he played until half time carrying an injury?) his PPM is tantalising. He'd definitely solve my MID issues if it was sustainable but seems like another in a long line of pretty big gambles.

Could work out okay, though, if he stays fit.

Hazelton third highest increase in price for the season behind only Galvin and Iro but only 2.3% owned lol.

Anyone else eying up Isaako as a possible Pap replacement? Coming off the back of a couple 60+s and still 80k cheaper than season starts. Seems to have a worse floor this season than last though but I don't have any Dolphins yet and can put up some monster scores.

It's an interesting one, because I'd bet dollars to doughnuts McInness plays Origin, so a Sharks mid is hella tempting. But Rudolf is not the deer he was, Hazelton is Mk2 and stupid pricey, OKau|Willi|BHU suck, and Dale is on a beach. Hard calls.

If you'd waited this long I'd wait another week for Palasia impacts. Joliffe... isn't great. And Keenan may take a chunk of his time.

Well, that's what I'm telling myself. Fucknose what Des thinks.

Just had a deeper look into it... PPM does seem really high this year compared to historical average of 42 coming off the bench for 50-60mins.

I guess the question is whether he can maintain his current form?

I had a look at Oregon this week, thinking he seemed to be going pretty well. And he is, for the past fortnight. Looking beyond that put me off the scent pretty quick.

Hazelton another we could have ridden to the bank.

Isaako a good shout, could go Pap to him and heed the increases.

Oregon could be an option, risky but he looks gr8 in his stints. A try and a higher minute game two back will scare us all off.

I've literally heard this exact narrative when Ilias was due to debut

Only difference is he now plays for the wooden spooners

Deja vu!

Doing Pap/Piakura/Salmon to Drinky/Joliffe/Fa'aalgo leaves me with exactly zero bank. Must be a good or danger sign.

For me the moment Teddy lost his Blues jersey was the Mam try in the Broncos game. Positioning was pretty much right where he needed to be to make the stop but Mam turns on the jets and Teddy doesn't even get a finger on him. 2 years ago Teddy saves that try but has clearly lost a step. It's time for the next gen

Teddy is incumbent Captain and Fb though
