Man, that sucks Booze. Hope you're pulling through OK.

I was just thinking that my WFBs have been set and forget Inglis, Tedesco and Ponga since I started tinkering.

Would you want to have a look into some low-ownership WFBs that could see some improvement this year?
I feel like this is the position with the least differences between teams.

Thanks mate

I am confused on this WFB position as well. I guess with so many cheapies in 2RF, less players 13-21 and able to take hookers on 13-17 means I have spare cash to spend at the back.
Also like others mention that you spend all year trying to find centres and say your cheapies go well, the players you upgrade to may have as well so the gain is cancelled out.

The consensus seems to be Ponga/Tedesco/Katoa or Ponga/Mid ranger/Mid ranger
I am looking at my WFB and it is Ponga/Inglis/CWalker mainly leaving Tedesco due to sheer cost.
Also Walker allows me an insurance plan should Cartwright not work out in halves so can move up there with Croft.

Back 5 looks like

Leilua/Mitchell
Ponga/CWalker/Inglis

Though have had Aubo in there as well but unsure if I want him for a third year haha

Cook, TPJ, Arrow, Carty

30k left in the bank.

Thoughts guys?

I think Turbo will have a gun year just as much as Teddy will. Already gels with team, expected to be used as a big part in the playmaking and another year older another year wiser. Expect big things from this kid I think he still has a lot of room to improve.

I read somewhere that there is no Garvey on bench but will be a wait and see and only a few more hours

Cheers pal, TLT will ruin it. Hoping Arrow can get the prop spot and get DPP

Mentioned him earlier in the thread but comparing AFB and TPJ

Tevita Pangai Junior and Addin Fonua Blake are similar players and both players I have been looking at.

Both are big and break tackles,DPP, both may get more gametime due to injuries and have similar roles in their team.

However TPJ is 40k cheaper

If you take AFB last year where you get rid of his sub 35 minute games and his one big 61 minute game you get an average of 40 minutes played from 13 games
This gets you 33 points so priced at 30 you would need him to get more than 45 minutes to make money from him (he has played 60 minutes once and probably due to injury)
Either that or improve on his game which is already a high PPM.

TPJ due his cheaper starting cost and slightly higher PPM makes more $$$ from less minutes and as these aren't keepers will make money faster with less risk

Not one to go off to much off PPM but he consistently scores at 1.0

So priced at 27 you would think he would get a minimum of 35 minutes with potentially more so 35 points minimum , so at least 8 points under priced.
Herman Ese'Ese averaged just under 36 minutes for context. DPP is handy too and like NAS he does go alright off the bench.

He is also capable of a TB so if he scores above 40 the first few games playing extra minutes then you may not get a chance to bring in.

Omg really, that might be a risk worth taking then.
