JDB one of the most popular targets this week, but barely cracks a mention on here

Are we way off the pace, or is it everyone else who  is wrong

He is a touch underpriced compared to historical scoring at lock, and has potential to be a top tier MID scorer. Should more of us be jumping on?

I've just been looking at him now. Averages the same whether he starts prop lock or interchange this year. Averaging 51-52 which is good enough this year as a keeper. His price reflects that, so no discount. Rd 19 is the real attraction, I'll be short there (but can worry about that later I suppose). Is likely to keep plodding along for 50s with the upside that he is an elite gun if the minutes increase for whatever reason. If shoes shits the bed, I may trade Angus to him instead of Tedesco (see the looping thread for more details).

Papali’i went under the knife earlier this week with the injury now expected to sideline the back-rower for at least two months. (Telegraph)

Does Seyfarth finally become a buy?

With a memory like that to hold onto, you won't be needing any vi-agra in your older years.

Sure looks like it. I might skip Kelma and get him next week instead.

What's the Tigers pack and bench look like now? When is Bateman due back?

Doueihi will be back before Bateman

Bateman still 6-8 weeks away.

Actually Kepaoa did start second row back in rd11 while Seyfarth was still on bench

Uto minutes bump?

i would rather finish outside the top 10000 than look at that head in my team

If he scores well I can deal with looking at that head. The risk is that if he scores poorly, that your woes are greatly increased by the fact that you also have to look at that head.

So Ipap is out til round 20/21.

Hmmm wonder if Keapoa or Seyfarth start?

Surely Twal and maybe Seyfarth are worth it!

Bateman between round 18-20 I believe

Greig starting Paulo bench is only change in final team lists

Byes don't suit as much as King for me. I think R20 is going to be worse than R14 for struggling to get a 17 out for me even without JdB. Although the counter would be it's far too early to even worry about R20.

Definitely an option though if it works for you.

As well as missing Armstrong, I'm one of those losers that also missed Iro. So I have no Sharks, no Dragons, and only one eel when I bring in Hands tonight. I could manage JDB on a bye (at this stage, hahahaha)

Angus > Manu
ChevyS > Hands
Edwards > JDB

Leaves me with

Brailey
JDB/Plath/Smith
KPP/-
Brown/Hands
Iro/Manu
Teddy/Drinky/Weekes

3 Trades so I can have at least 15/16 next week and can get either 2 of Kolomatagi/JHughes or Fifita depending on which state wins

I’m down one WFB so looking to offload Walsh I guess. Teddy or Manu will leave me a player short next week, but I could look to offload one of my Raiders then I suppose. Alternative is Drinky? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have 16 trades left and feel that’s more than most around here if that’s relevant.

Rd 1 vs Raiders, Seyfarth was starting lock and had a mare. Seems like he hasn't been forgiven for it.

So it was just not a Brad thing.

JDB was an easy trade in for me. Mostly because he plays 14. Was going to get Aitken but it leaves me with 17 for 14 which means I have to play Hughes and Hands and leave me short if an Origin player doesn't back up. I can trade (and I may trade Strange) but I am really looking to limit trades where I can during these rounds.

Not looking forward to the rank drop with only Iro in tonight's game

I'm not feeling it with Drinky this year, and misses 16 and 19. I'd get Teddy and sell Smithies next week if he is one of your Raiders.
