Anyone ditching Dylan brown this week?
Or holding on for a possible good score in R19 before ditching later
I have Hynes and Galvin as R19 halves, so Dylbags would likely just be loop fodder and not essential

On a related note - who do people think will be the best 3 WFB to finish with (r21 onwards)
Lets assume for this that Ponga and Trbojevic are both fit and playing
Edwards, Latrell and Jayden Campbell are the 3 highest averages - and none of them have any byes post origin
Edwards and Latrell good bets to stay top 3 assuming they stay fit. Jayden Campbell could potentially drop out - on top of current injury there is the return of AJ Brimson that may impact his scoring.
Teddy, Lomax, Ponga, Drinkwater, Walsh, Kiraz, Trbo, To'o all potentially viable, or more left field options like Dom Young, Pryce, Hammer, Kini, Weekes, Papenhuyzen
Almost none of them play R19. I suspect you will be better off taking the hit, or going someone quite cheap as cashout - otherwise you'll probably lose as many points as you make in subsequent rounds when the big guns return.
Long term, I have no chance of affording both Edwards+Latrell so will be looking to save money.
Drinkwater and Walsh tickle my fancy at the moment with best combination of price + potential, but neither play 19 so I'll just wait a week or 2 and see what turns up.
The correct answer is whoever goes on an attacking stat hot streak
I'd be betting on Latrell, Teddy, Ponga top 3 in no particular order
Edwards, Turbo the next tier
Drinky, Walsh and the flavour of the week winger next tier

I don't know the source of this quote
Michael Carayannis in this interview said he thought Koula would get the gig to start

So good!
And you have the monthly within reach, only 83 points behind the current leader
83 seems too much without it being a bye round. Especially is not just outscoring the 20 or so in front, but also not being outscored by the 50-100 just behind me. But I guess there's a chance.
Would be interesting if 13-17 had been the month, think I'd be very close there. Went from ~9k to ~500 in those 5 weeks

Turbo may get a roving commission like Manu

I reckon this is why Koula is rumoured to get the gig over Hopoate
My guess is Koula is FB in defence and for kick returns, but plays CTR in attack so Turbo can chime in anywhere like he would as the FB. Hoppa can obviously to the FB part but maybe not confident about him at CTR.
No idea what this scenario I just made up means for fantasy.

Yeah, there is no need to have turbo doing the donkey work and used as a punching bag.

In the history of rugby league, Garrick is the 3rd greatest goalkicking outside back from Gerringong.

Finally caught up on everything.
Bit of a stinker for me, but I was half expecting it. Scored 710 for the round from 15 players. Have Manu, so he will be a trade out. Looks like he would've scored 100 last night as well, damn!
Manu, Lemu, Hands, Finefeuaki my problems from the weekend.
- Lemu was close to a try, and the week before he was close to 1 (Or 2?), as well. Back in the day I had a choice of choosing Lemu or Aitken, that's a $200K and 100+ point swing there. Can't win em all!
- Hands, with Arthur on the bench that's a bit worrying, but will keep for Round 19, might be needed then if there's an injury. Too cheap to sell.
- Was really expecting more points from Fine, but that's how it goes sometimes. Will either sell this week or next, depends if Luki plays or not.
10 Trades left, $700K in the kitty, so certainly some upgrades coming in. Hoping Lucas plays, was really tempted to sell him last week as hamstrings are dodgy AF.
Glad to see some big scores this week, congrats to those who scored well

Bit late to this but it's probably Teddy Trell Edwards as the top 3, with Ponga there if he can stay fit.
I currently have Teddy, Trell and Drinky as my three, so probably won't get Edwards.

Slightly POD Dom Young goes unnoticed once again
