Yeah for me it's between Drinky and Latrell as gun WFB options

Does this mean Guler lock?

Drinkwater has great byes, but I just don't see the value. Is it worth paying that money for sub 50 scores and no money made?

If he can elevate his game, then I it would definitely be worth a shot.

Word is Whitehead lock, CHN 2RF. Not sure how true. CHN would be another great mid-priced edge option if there was any faith that he'd keep the spot rather than play 80 minutes then 54 minutes then bench in Ricky roulette.

WEll that's the thing, if you're getting Drinky you're holding until after R13. You're paying for his lack of byes all the way through origin. So I suppose he provides points value instead of $$. Without Pappy in the mix and with the uncertainty surrounding Turbo, I reckon Drinky's a top 4 WFB currently.

For people going premium WFB, I think Latrell offers some value over Teddy. Since coming back from the states for his injury rehab he's comfortably averaged over 50, with some big scores in there and only a handful of shockers.

Teddy has a slightly better draw, except for the fact that he has a bye in round 4. If you had Cheese and also one of the Butcher brothers, that would be a big drop to your score.
Latrell player every game up until origin 1. Once origin hits Latrell is more of a tradeout then Teddy
After R4 both Teddy's byes fall on origin weeks. Last year he backed up every time, but that may not be the case this year.

I think Mozer is the future but young. I think most teams would have signed Walsh if he was throwing himself at them

I have Turbo currently. May change though.

Same. Can’t see how he isn’t worth the risk.
