What’s the consensus on Lawrie vs. Host?

Early trades thoughts are Holland and Kahu to Lawrie and Niukore leaving my team looking like this

Cook
Fifita Tolman
Murray Lane Arrow
Morgan Keighran
Nikora Capewell
Hughes CNK Ravalawa

Mahoney
Gillett
Garner
Niukore

Lawrie
Brown
Sivo
Flegler

Thoughts anyone?

Like many on here we picked holland for a reason and the last game was all against him and he still got 25

Most are still confident he will score 40 and be a keeper level center. The question for you is has Bateman changed the game by being a 50 point player in the centers and therefore changed the landscape a little for Holland as far as being a keeper for your team?

If you still see him as a keeper then it’s a wasted trade? Personally I’m worried the bulldogs dish up plenty more performances like that one

I’d also probably trade Flegler before kahu. Don’t see Flegler having any legs and kahu will do what it says on the tin and earn you 100k or so if you give him time and he scores a try or 2

PPM vs greater job security for a little while

I think host makes more sense but I’ve got him and I’m still eyeing off lawrie while Frizell Williams is out

What is Lawrie’s fantasy pedigree/history like?

Mahoney helping a car crash victim after witnessing the crash after the game yesterday. Earnt himself a bit more love from me, as has Bateman for his Wallace psych out. Wallace seems a tool

The nrl website still has 5 more police academy related pun headlines to get through

Agreed, Wallace does look like a bit of a tool.

that's the main reason i'm moving him on, it's easy to say 'he was just in a team that got belted and got no ball, he'll be fine', but the Bulldogs to me look like a team that will, more often than not, get belted and get no ball. Holland had a good average at centre last year, but it was in a team that found a purple patch of form at the back end of the season, i don't see him doing a lot in a team that looks this bad.

Also is Bateman a must this week? Will only keep making money

Lawrie has scored extremely well in always limited minutes, vs Host who seems to have a role but poorer scoring rate.

I don't trust Mary in the slightest which is my worry with both players, Leilua and Latimore both played shit minutes. Do they all share the load without Friz and Korbin coming in R3? Or Does Lawrie get more of a stint?

PPM isn't everything. Look at Twal, got the minutes loads for hoping for but scored worse than he usually does in 10 minutes less game time!

But it's only R1!

Both will make good coin. Host would make more sense if we could be certain of job security But at full strength (which might only be a couple of weeks away - capewell only missed one week with a busted nut) the Dragons might have Korbin at lock and Friz back to the edge in which case Host might get shit bench minutes or drop out entirely. Lawrie if named at lock this week has a high work rate and even if he is benched the following week, should be first interchange and be good for 40s.

In short I slightly favour Lawrie.

Now if you have to pick one, Lawrie or Burns - talking cash making here.

sele , host or Mikaele. already have sele but under an injury cloud, like the llok of host but would like to hear everyones thoughts. My other trade this week is garrick to lawrie, is lawrie a must trade in this week, job security dosn't look the greatest but his PPM is awesome. Cheers.

@surmo just talking me in trading Holland! But for who is the question.

Bird or Burns my current favoured. With Garrick/Sivo out for Host I think

His scores have limited range outside of his minutes. 1PPM seems a very likely possibility. He just needs the minutes which he should get in the short-term. I've gone with him for now

I have burns so I’d go Lawrie. Would trade Holland for Lawrie as bulldogs will get belted a lot more and have a plethora of Centres. Then will go Garrick to bird for cash making. Broncos still will be a top 4 side in my eyes and if Bird can get rid of some of his side running he might find some more tries/LB’s also feel once they click Bird and Oates will see plenty of ball.

Burns the POD of Bird vs Burns. 40% have Bird. So may be better going with the pack to limit Bird reverting to last years scoring

This and he looked sluggish as well. Don’t like when players have slow lateral movement and just dive out or reach for players they have no chance of tackling (for fantasy purposes)

You’re helping me be ok with taking him out

I have Nikora in my EMGs begging for a spot in the centers and care more about H2H I think than overall so cash is probably king for me

Hopefully we get an update on the friz before I bring in lawrie and he ends up getting 25 minutes in a few werks

18 of birds points came from sideways running. Was infuriating as a non owner

Burns in though would mean I don't have to play Sivo/Rava roulette with Tedesco and Edwards.

Is that worth getting him in over Bird?

He'll be behind his own goal line more often than kicking for goal too if R1 is any indication of what to expect from the dogs this year.
