If you can't decide between 2 players at this point in the season, job security is the most important factor.

In his defense, how could he possibly have known about the CVOID bubble, all the possible penalties for breaching it.
Must have taken him completely by surprise

Exactly. Ponga banks almost 100K too. I'm tempted by this strategy. I may even tempt fate and get To'o back for the run home as a POD. I think he'll average close to both of them.
Getting To'o back crossed my mind. Might be able to go Teddy, Ponga, To'o and Walsh for the run home. Would also let me use To'o puns again.

I just loved watching him play while he was in my team. NSW, not so much but Penrith yes!

With Liu signing to the Titans surely Peachy's time at the Titans is limited. Think I need to bite the bullet and cop the trade out :'(

Having trbo might not improve your rank, but not having him my hurt it
Even if he doesn't maintain his current scoring he looks to be the highest scoring WFB for the run home.
I might be looking at Ponga to join Trbo after origin as my 3rd WFB. With Papy's status a real unknown I think he might be the best option.
My rank would be more than halved if I owned Turbo.
I was wrong to not trade him in. I traded in Lucy and Simpkin in the round Turbo was named to play

I grabbed Mitchell as an alternative. It hasn’t started well at all

Sure am. One score below 48 for the year and DPP. Won't get many fantastic scores but he'll get you 50 a week.

Saw something today that Peachey could be used as a 6 next year.

While true, I think MTB's point about getting him now is completely valid. Unless you're top 100 or something, the risk reward play is to skip him for an alternative and cross your fingers. If it means dropping from 2400 to 4000, then in the scheme of things, that means shit. If Turbo regresses and an alternate scores more, the rank climb could be significant.
Problem is, I don't see any other WFB outscoring Turbo from here on.

Player 1: Priced at 44. Average 50 across 2019-2020. 2021 average (excluding injuries) = 50. Job security = high. Stats say expect solid 50
Player 2: Priced at 35. In his current position averaged 43 in 2019, 48 in 2020 (excluding injuries) and 39 in 2021 (in part to averaging a sin bin each 2.3 games of footy. ) Job security = high. Suspension risk = high. Stats say expect mid to high 40's.
Player 3: Priced at 35. Debuted in 2020, averaging 43 since. When starting, has averaged 52 (7 games). When starting in his current position has averaged 58 (5 games). Job security = uncertain. Stats say expect 50's until dropped.
I've had AFB (player 1) pencilled in all week. But given they are (hopefully) my 18th man, the extra $100k saved for Victor (Player 2) or Wilton (Player 3) might make the difference between a To'o or Ponga as last WFB.
I feel like it's stupid with trades at a premium, but I'm tempted by Wilton. Anyone have any thoughts on job security? Talakai was named to start 2 weeks ago but Wilton was late switch. Plus Wade Graham?
After all that, I think I'm back at this order: AFB, Wilton, Radley.
Anyone want to contribute and turn the monologue into a discussion?
TLDR: AFB, Radley or Wilton?
I'd go with the job security of the first two. You say AFB will be outside your 17 at 18th man, but I reckon between injury, suspension, covid, isolations, etc you'll be playing him nearly every week, so I vote for him as he'll get more points than Radley.

I think how you've listed them is how I'd rank them.

Yes but we might see him lose responsibility in the team this year seeing as it might be unlikely he signs again.

Joseph Suaalii remains a chance to be a late call-up for the Roosters against the Bulldogs on Saturday.
Suaalii played on the wing in the 46-0 loss to the Storm in round 16, but was named on the reserves list in jersey 21 on Tuesday. "He’s been named at 21 every single week," coach Trent Robinson said on Thursday.
"It’s also the 17-year-old and the (betting) sponsorship of the jersey. You’ll see him get named in (jersey) 21 every single week, until he’s 18 (on August 1)." When Robinson was pushed about whether Suaalii would be a late inclusion at Bankwest Stadium, he responded with "we’ll see, we’ll see".
