Hasn't set the world on fire, good week to flick him?

Was lucky enough to flick him last week, but yeah he needed to go imo.

Would you not go Trindall? Similar price..

Do we think JC can avg about 50 from here? And will he get DPP for HLF at round 21?

I guess the bigger question is can he stay fit…….

Yes to all 3 questions

Think he means the WFB aspect.

Been riding my luck without Fifita until now.

Think I'm just about sold on;

JMK - Cook
Latrell - Garrick
Hynes - Wighton

Gives me;

Cook
Plath Koala Fainu
Fifita KPP
Galvin Wighton
Iro Aitken
JC Talagi Garrick

Hands

Still not sure if it's worth grabbing Cook, or just playing Hands this week and grab Mahoney next week. Probably will stick with Cook. But also tempted on a cheaper option like Randall or Verrils. Will also sit Jacko and Talagi on the pine. Will play Hands if Jacko busts and will also sit Talagi. He's due a 14 pointer I feel and if he does, will probably trade Shoes to Marzhew.

Going with the 3 trades as planned though leaves me with 450K to start targeting Cleary/Haas etc. and still have 3 trades heading into round 20.

Pulse check.


Carry on.

Panthers
Storm
Roosters
Dolphins
Cowboys
Manly
Bulldogs
Broncos

Bulldogs & Broncos both 28 points, Manly on 29.

Warriors 27 points.

So many of those games could go either way though, I haven't got the Eels down for many wins, but I don't think they will get the spoon either

So by your predictions the Bulldogs will win only 2 more regular season games out of 8 remaining games.

With each of those games against teams below them on the table I see them winning 4 of those games....probably at home given they're still undefeated there.

Possible he averages 50, and should get DPP

The whole Gold Coast dynamic makes me wary, but I think Campbell is a good option. My other consideration aside from Turbo.

At this point, unless we get mail that JC is out or benched, I will be buying him from Nicho (holding Trell a week and then selling him to Cleary/DCE/Fog next week).

There are three things that I think puts him ahead of Kini.

* Goalkicking - the Titans don't really have a recognised kicker outside of him (unless Boyd plays 7 which is unlikely)

* General play kicking - while Foran tends to do most of this, JC does kick a little bit (average of 140km per game this year, so an extra 4 points per game)

* Given that AJ Brimson prefers fullback over 5/8, I think JC is more likely to keep his spot as long as he's healthy. Granted, I think that the most likely scenario is AJ moving back to centre and having a roaming licence, given how good Kini has been at FB.

If I forget JC other option is wait and get Murray next week or week after. JC would be my 15th man on run home. If I get Murray he will start at mid and Plath then moves to my 15th man

15th of 17 scorers?

$61k cheaper too.

Although having only managed to string a maximum of 3 games together this season is a fairly substantial worry

Yeah JC is not without risk, but both him and AJ have that problem (Kini less so), and JC has goalkicking and general kicking over the other two.

I'm hoping AJ makes it in to the 17 in the final cut to clear things up a bit. Keen on Kini if AJ is at centre, but whilst he's not named there both Kini and Campbell are too high risk for me and I'll be getting Garrick instead

Think I'm pretty sold on Hynes -> Olakuatu this week if I don't need my only trade for anything else. Means I wouldn't have to play Piakura. Then I can look at which guns I want next week. Haas/Cleary/Murray/Yeo all in consideration.

Haven’t followed manly. Any reason Brown is getting big minutes? Do we see it continuing. Need a Twal trade.

He’s in my 14-17 next week on if I get him position 15

3 great trades and team is looking strong mate. Climb is going to continue. Very envious of the war chest

on the kini vs campbell argument yes campbell has many strings to his bow but if you look at the last 3 game average which is an indicator of form kini averages 77.3 pts whereas campbell is at 69 pts over the 3 game period which is quite a statement considering campbell has more avenues to score pts.
