Where did he end up?

Score for round was 700, total points 10357

On the topic of wfb's, last year there seemed to be many options who were scoring well. This year it's only Teddy, Ponga, Turbo & Mbye & Mbye is a risk for round 17 if he goes to the Tigers.

843 for the round for me (33rd place this week....Fifita captain was a poor choice). Now to make sure every trade counts between now and r17.....

@pookus

Don’t I just look the biggest fool

Yeah, which is why I'm staying away for now. The ok options look like Oates (possible origin recall?), RTS (injured, no eta), Cotric, Rapana (surely he improves?), Hopoate (don't really rate him) and Dufty

its the position where a lot of ground can be made up. more likely for common picks to have poor games

i think 2 years ago nofo finished the year as the highest priced wfb (5 game avg), and no one in the top 100 had him. gotta get lucky with your picks though, cos its more likely to backfire

RTS is supposedly fit

Smith, Harris, Martin ....

My team is slightly different so hoping that's a good thing

How many trades has everyone got left? 13 for me

No Arrow and Harris for me. Mr vanilla otherwise

• Arrow will have to wait until r18.....
  Probably skipping Harris depending on trades, Denver, etc

14 pre trades. Plan to use 1.

12 before trades

Hold Lane or sell?

BUMP


Initial trade ideas has my team looking like this with 12 trades and 125k remaining
Murray to Olive
Lane to McInnes

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Taumalolo Arrow Harris
DCE ARey
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
Matterson
McInnes
Sua

Martin
Brimson
Olive
Gosiewski

Any other ideas? Would be much appreciated. Suppose I could hold Lane but I’m guessing he won’t play this week?

Not sure on the Olive trade, but I rarely even watch Bulldogs games never mind follow the team. What is the likelihood of him holding his spot? The only reason I'd consider him is rd 17 cover, and I'm not sure he'll offer that. Happy to be proven wrong of course....
