You wouldn’t want  a ctr that averages 45? Jesus, higher expectations than my mrs.

Not in a rush for him anyway given he’s priced close to that now. I’d be disappointed I guess if he averaged that after doing so well before I got him. Sounds like you know a bit about disappointment

He does seem like too much of an angry ant to settle at an average of 45 though so it’s a moo point

As a raiders fan, Liverpool fan and brumbies fan, it’s fair to say I’ve disappointed before.

Dylan Edwards is a good POD at this point. I mean he has been awful in 2/3 games and par in another but he has always played hard and tried to be involved. When the panthers start firing he will be a big part of it. Give him a slightly dry game and I'm sure he will improve. Low scores can happen with good wfb (see Tedesco rd1, RTS rd2). Also he plays Rd 12 before you trade him to one of the big 3 keepers (TTurbo, Tedesco, Ponga).

Worst Case:
If he averages 35 from here he drops < 20k.

Best case:
Exactly who we thought he was at the start of season. Puts on approx. 200k. Even better for those that didn't start with him and can wait till he bottoms out and shows a good score.

If at the start of the season Edwards was priced at 476k (34 avg) I would have jumped on for sure. Don't think anything has changed about why I bought him in so I'll stick with him. Anyone else riding with Edwards or is the mood more Deadwards in here?

He's a very instinctive player and post 2 ACL reco's I think the soft SCG makes him play a touch more conservatively

I'm currently picking between him and Bateman. Tedesco probably makes more sense for my team but I'm thinking I might wait a week and go ponga instead of Tedesco for now to see how he goes on the SCG going forward.

Bateman on the other hand has his first Townsville game. Will the heat and humidity hurt him much? He seems like a bit of a machine

Don't have him, and generally agree, but I can imagine he may not get many more chances under new coach Cleary, with Aekins and DWZ as great replacements that would already be starting fullbacks at many clubs.

I'm not too worried about him. Trading him out now won't get rid of the poor scores from previous weeks, and I do think that he will bounce back. Last weeks game was that fucking bad, that you could kind of expect a big turnaround in form this weekend. Three games, three wet tracks. Almost every fullback has put up bad scores in poor weather this season.

Pretty cool here in the afternoons at the moment. Humidity is slowly dying, should be a ripper surface and a ripper game.

And the 100k he's lost is gone if you sell now
