    I've got Teddy and will be keeping him this week vs the Warriors, but im not against trading him out.

    The concerning thing about Teddy is he is struggling to get his hands on the ball compared to some one like RTS.

    i agree with this. tedesco hasnt done as much fending with his carry backs for those free points which is the biggest concern. 

    but he is certainly a fanhub favourite with 50/50 calls going his way. he also hasnt lost the habit of switching on in the last 5 mins of a game.

    @GreenMachine it's a weird season this year, guns not firing and cows going big!

    @Rhinoceroo Why is RTS your priority? Do you have a gun backline? I want him, but I've already got Rapana, Ponga, Dufty, and Thompson. Or are you thinking best to get him now before he gets another 100k rise? It's either him or Harris I'm trading in this week

    Great player... not great Fantasy wise
    He relies mostly on attacking stats...once these dry up in the tougher games expect him to score sub 20 dragging his avg back down.

    Not normally one to chase last weeks points but Mbye really interests me. I know in the past he has pulled out one big score but I think playing fullback he'll have more opportunity for big scores. If JMK continues to play in the halves then Mbye will be involved in a lot of play making, general play kicking, plus the usual running meters for a fullback. Very tempted to give Carty the flick for Mbye. I know Carty has a low BE, but he is a high ownership player and negating points are killing his scores.

    I think it could be a great move due. Gotta be different to climb. Can't go anywhere having the same players. That's why I'm gonna chuck Matterson in my halves with Walker

    @Mighty Fishes I like the first one. Both POD and both in form. Fifita kind of safer and we know how important saving trades are. But tbh, if you think you'll have RTS come season end, might as well be now

    I was talking about long-term priority. My main priority is probably thinking about banking a few trades. Might go down in the rankings in the next few weeks but it's going to be important down the line with batshit trading over Origin and then fixing a final team that isn't entirely Rnd 17 players.

    Bringing in Murray this week. I could bring in RTS or Fifita for TPJ but fighting against it (also TPJ could be an actual gun too). Save trades, save trades, save trades.

    I tend to agree with the first one. I'm still a bit skeptical on Alvaro maintaining big scores, but thats the type of person I am.

    Lichaa isn't an urgent trade out, but at the same time his scores don't appear to be going anywhere.

    I've been poring over last 2 seasons stats and hard not to see him with potential higher average than he's priced at. After 94 two seasons ago in Rd 2 he had 42 avg after that for rest of season and appeared to not kick goals for half of them

    @Rhinoceroo True that. I've only saved one trade so far haha I think TPJ is going to be a borderline keeper tbh, but Murray definitely needs to be in your team and still under 10% ownership

    Its a pretty scary prospect running without Fifita given the minutes he got last week and the lack of depth at the FRF position. I haven't researched Alvaro, so the question is, will he maintain those scores? I have no idea. and RTS looks pretty solid this year.

    In summary, I think the safe move is Merrin to Fifita. The move which would be more likely to win you the whole thing is definitely option 1 though IMO.

    At the risk of inundating you with suggestions for you site (which is becoming meaner by the day BTW), when I went to look at Alvaro's player stats for this year, I couldn't help but think it would be great to see a summary or even a game log from previous seasons. Not sure if others would find this useful or not though....

    I also think that Teddy will integrate himself more into the attack and take some of these opportunities away from Keary
