Libba or cousins better value? Not sure I trust cousins to regularly go 80+ but that extra 60k can be put too good use elsewhere
Lib. Cousins was poor in the last half yesterday when the pressure was on. Lots of turnovers and fumbles. Think Lib has far greater job security. Can see cousins being dropped if he has a stinker or two during the real stuff

That’s my main concern with cousins, especially once Scully and wingard are back as too what his role will be or if he’s even best 22.

Wanted to avoid the mid price madness but somehow they keep finding their way into my team....

this one is doing my head in

Witho, Goldy, Worpel

v

Lloyd, Gawn, rookie?
Second is good if your forward rookie can be Willem Drew or Setterfield.
Hard to find any 170k having a good enough JLT to demand selection.
Balta has had a reasonable JLT but I doubt he plays more that 5 games.

If you can't find a fwd rookie, then like most of us, you run with 1st lot due to lack of options.
 
Happy enough Collins was poor today, kpd role now instead of 3rd defender (37 in 107mins)
Out - Collins D6
In - Duursma + $10k (again) :p

Edit,
Out.
Collins & Miles
In.
B.Smith & Duursma (only $3k more)

Of course dunkley fires today... but can we trust him? Same with billings
I won't have either of them round 1 but it's good to see some FWD form so we won't have to pray DPP announcements deliver us a saviour.

It's been said Billings scores in wins are much higher than losses, I still don't see the saints winning too many games.

Wouldn't worry about that too much the second half last nice was largely throwing him to the wolves. Jaeger and Worpel were largely moved out of the middle and he was left to fight against a very strong Richmond midfield. He was very solid in the first half alongside those two which was my main concern that he would struggle with the guns back in the middle.

Both good options i would say it depends more on if you need that 60k or not. If it is just sitting around with nothing to upgrade, Libba is a safer choice. If you need that extra money i would not hesitate to jump on Cousins.

I haven’t seen any hawks JLT games this year so a bit unsure about picking many hawks players without knowingly much about then. Think I’ll stick with Libba and if I need that extra 60k I’ll find it elsewhere (possibly Merrett to Steele)

How do you see Worpels mid time being affected by returning players? Is he now a 75% mid player?

Jesus the rookies this year are slim pickings. Anyone feel confident on the 170k ones? Feel like Drew, Parker, Scott and Gibbons are the only ones looking likely round 1/scoring decently.

Not even Parker is in that mix, given how badly he went today. I'd probably say Atkins is another one that's likely to score half decently on the bench

It's pretty bad for cheapos.
I still think Freo play Bewley, & Gold Coast Burgess round 1.

Hardest year to pick rookies who'll play at the start of the season and perform well

Watson was one that was a sneaky chance and he didn't even make the cut for this JLT game.

It's a worry isn't it? And from those Parker and Gibbons will be lucky to average 55 and Scott has major job security issues (if he even gets selected). On-field rooks should be 'okay' for me at least but the bench is looking horrific.
