What is everyone's thoughts on Joel Edwards? Prospects at Wests?

Potential to make money or possibly be an emergency 4th reserve?

Too injury prone & isn't he injured atm.

Hypothetically, if both are named in the starting 13 at 2RF and FRF respectively, who would you choose between Rocho and Stockwell?

I think Barba is a trap. If he proves me wrong he's cheap enough to bring in. If he was a dpp like Copley he'd be in my team instead of Copley but Copley's there as it suits my team structure even though I don't really rate Copley..

My point was though he is not a trap at all. He is a completely viable NPR at that price
Traps are people like Leeson Au Mau where you are paying close to "gun" price for a "good" players scores

A cow is a cow. Barba if 30k more expensive would be a trap

In terms of his usefulness for fantasy this year, it doesn't really matter.

He's a proven fantasy gun, that is going to pump out big scores this year. The only question is exactly how big, and that won't be answered in a game like the all stars.

Really want Merrin but currently on Cartwright. Love that guy. Not willing to spend that much on same team, same position so can't bring myself to have both even though Hate not having Merrin. Would love to hear a panthers supporters thoughts on minutes for that pack

I've shuffled between M Morgan and absolutely no one, in terms of Cowboys cover.

Who does everyone have from cows?

Cowboys have pretty much the same team as last year. Which means no value to be found from players getting new roles, and no rookies looking likely.

That leaves established guns, of which Thurston the obvious choice. But many avoiding him in favour of DCE

Will probably start on the bench for the Tigers, but you want him to start to be fantasy useful

Yeah I think you are right everyone is correctly priced. I thought there could be some upside with Granville. They surely know now the more mins the better with him.

Morgan I'm looking at purely as my second half to DCE, but buying for points not value.

Not seen Hodkinson mentioned once. Is he fit again?

Very capable 50+ player that might be one of several lost in the hunt for 2-3 bottom of he barrel rookie halves

new team, coming off injury, partnering a half that can kick just as well.

If/when Mullen goes down then he becomes a prospect.

If Pauli is named on the bench for the Knights come TLT, do I make him my 4th reserve or A.Taylor?

Pauli - 20-30pts
Taylor - 15-50pts

Haha yes it is I SI
Need a new name as my last one was forgotten hehe

In answer to your previous question mate, yes, Welshy is here and on every day. There is a Members list up the top you can click on, 95% of the crew are here already and 95% of those kept there same or similar name. One of the few exceptions is KFP, he is now Bren. Something about a bamboo heist and Panda Protection Program.

yep that's what I thought. risk vs reward

Haha will do that. And thanks for the warning on Bren

Have you signed up for the Leagues yet lad?

L.Ah Mau + Copley vs Sue + Hurrell

Fair enough. I'm keeping a close eye on, for as you say WHEN Mullen goes down
