    If the dogs keep Graham, Tolman, Woods and Klemmer for next year, will you be game to start with any of them?

    Graham likely to be very temptingly priced. JBrom too

    Whilst we are talking about 2018 bargains, will be interesting to see what they do with Inglis. He should be pretty cheap

    Who do I leave out out of Surgess, Croker or Cotric? Last week I left out Croker which obviously was wrong.

    Seems like there is going to be plenty of value picks floating around next year... graham, jbrom, tohu, sst, aiken, mansour, just a few off the top of my head. And then teddy at the rooster!

    watson could be a wildcard at halfback, not sure if they will give him dpp at hk or wfb though.

    Bought him in VSDT, he looks great at fullback, should have a couple of great scores.

    Teddy won't be value. He'll start expensive as shit and will be moving from a gameplan of "give it to Teddy and hope he scores" to a real, structured gameplan with competent halves.

    yeah but you put teddy in a winning team and his scores will benefit.

    michael gordon was scoring pretty heavily off the back of the roosters style. add teddy's ability to tackle break and he'll rack up the points.

    You can pretty much lock him in for 10 tries for the year and he will still get those junk tb points from going across field. At this stage he is likely to be in my team but depends on how he finishes the year

    Maybe a bit. But a fair chunk of Gordon's points came from kicking 3+ goals a game. Teddy won't have that luxury and I can't see him being more involved in a game then he currently is. Will he get better quality of chances surrounded by first grade footballers? Maybe... Most of his tackle breaks come on kick returns which is more or less unaffected by your supporting cast. He'll score well, sure, but I don't think he'll be a value pick - youll be paying a fair price for that output.

    Might be 1 or 2 points underpriced but I think he will be more consistent next year. Less sub 40 scores (one quarter of his games)

    okay fair call he won't necessarily be value. i still think he will score heavily. depends on the shape up of the team but if I want to spend heavily in wfb to start the year, he'd be my first choice.

    Matilda's just smashed Brazil 6-1.

    Won the tournament of nations with victories over USA, Japan and Brazil. Hope this is the start of a good few years

    I don't think tedesco will be overrpriced.
    I think its a good idea to start with at least 1 gun WFB, and Teddy appears as good a bet as any (Teddy, Munster, Tommy Turbo are the main early contenders)

    I took a gamble and put the C on NBrown, imagine my horror at the 5th minute when he came off ! All in all a decent result, those extra 15 minutes would have been nice though.

    It'll follow the pattern alright.

    2015: Injury affected as fuck. Hamstring injuries, concussions. I held him for 4 weeks and he got injured in his return game.

    2016: Genuine gun. Banged out like 3 straight 60+ scores in a row. I didn't buy him at the start of the season though because of his injury so I bought Woods. Somehow almost nobody else was turned off by his injury woes of 15 and most benefited but me.

    2017: Biggest dud of 2017.

    2018: ???

    I dont know that i would take the risk (again) on Graham. he's been a different player this year. I assume the neck injury is still giving him trouble?

    If he winds up at the Knights??? i may give him a crack.
