He plays the bye this week and defensively they don’t give up much points to the WFB position.

Or anyone for that matter

Teams without byes, with draw (because WFBs):

Sharks || dogs, TIT, TIG, bye
Tigers  || syd, MEL, sha, rab
Eels   || kni, RAB, tit, bye
Dragons || DOL, syd, bris, bye
Knights  || EEL, cbr, man, BRI
Broncos || wah, PAN, DRA, knig


Thoughts:
Those are poor teams with some tough draws. Broncs look the best, followed by Sharks/Knights
Not many final 23 keepers in there at all.

Options:
Sharpe - cashy, and if you're going to trade anyway then why not
Cobbo - greatest chance of being final 17
Mulitalo - sub 500 and not a bad final 23 loop option, but R20 bye
Penis - quality with Moses back, but ~600 and Moses not there for a bit. And an R20 bye
Marzhew? Could punt and hope, but he doesn't look good enough without Ponga (and being able to catch)
Gagai/Best expensive at mid 600s
Douehi - only available in the halves, and somewhat of an injury risk, and 626
Mariner - has a two-try 37 this year

Guess I'm going Sharpe. But maybe Cobbo at 562 is greatest like-for-like to Garrick

How many Dolphins you got?

Isaako better than most of these. Don’t like investing in any of the R20 bye teams or those with byes in backend unless megagun 

Titans and Souths good investments in 18 with no byes left. Bostock could also be a solid cashout in 19 with job security after 1 last week

Huge update for him regardless, how good!

Will break 800 for the round now, over 100 points more than last round - yikes.

Huh, hadn't realised Isaako had got down to 542. A good shout indeed!

Bostock at a 419, hm. The R20 bye is bad, but Mulitalo for 457 feels like someone I could stick in 18 and loop with JMK at season end, whereas I don't have that boom-score faith in Jack.

5 red dots to start with. Then there’s question marks around KPP/Matto. Grant and Cotter have Origin so may not back up. Shoes and Salmon still in the team. Faalogo will need to go if dropped or still on bench. May could go back to his 30 minutes of game time.

It’s all a bit of a mess and Wighton is the only one I would be happy to let go off

Has to be Aitken really. Think I’m taking punt on more Hynes price drops as already have Brown and Galvin R19 so only gain on difference between their points and Hynes

What's the question mark on Matto now?
