I reckon you wait another week bro, BE won't be an issue and it's another chance to see he can make it through a game.

Unless you need to trade that is.

Quite the jump over the last few weeks which has been pleasant, hoping to build on it heading into the byes in a few weeks

I could do with a cashout and love a DPP with a negative BE as much as the next guy, but VTW is not without risk, given he's an injury fill-in and the Dolphins don't play for two weeks so there's no visibility on whether he stays in the team.

I mean, he played great BUT the takeaways from Wayne's comments on him afterwards were:

1. Yeah, he's an attacking weapon but has a lot to learn in defence. (unsaid: in reserve grade)

2. He's the sort of personality who's a big game player and the bigger the occasion the better he'll be  (unsaid: this was his high point)

3. He did a haka after the game? Good for him, I didn't know had the fitness to do that. (unsaid: he's a lump)

Might have to take the risk on him as think I need an NPR cashout next week, but fgs don't pencil him into your starting back five.

That's awesome

17k into 2k in just 3 weeks is very impressive - keep doing what you're doing!

He somehow still managed 32 in 50mins, despite all his demerits he always finds a way to put up decent scores. Should hold price and be very handy for rd13 as currently my only edge for that round.

I tend to agree, but

22 missed tackles, 3 errors, 3 penalties and a sin bin in the last 3 weeks = a negative stat line of just over -20 points average over that time.

In some ways, I'm looking forward to getting rid; so I no longer get excited as he rides his way up to a 40 score, only to shed 10 points in a matter of minutes

Yeah, he was on 40 after 50 minutes before what until recently was a regulation tackle became a penalty and sin-binning.

Nice work mate. I've got your new avatar ready. Want to wait for lockout to open just in case Hynes updates/bula downdates?

Haha I forgot about this, was such an outrageous avatar bet I can't believe you nailed it.

Think with Milford threatening Niko/Katoa, Brown might need to be picked up this week
