Not a huge fan of any of the first five you mentioned.

Would wait for Laird to become affordable. He is a must have defender.
curious Ben , outside of Laird , Hibberd , Simpson , Yeo who do you see as the other Top 8 defenders being ? or to early to tell.

Savage is looking the goods with his 102 average even though his team is crap. Hurley will almost certainly be a top 8 defender. Sicily looking like he will be around the top 8. Then it has to be Hurn with his 106 average and his SC friendly role this season.

Cheers mate

I meant Hurley instead of Hibberd by the way :)

Starting Shaw , Bonner + 6 rookies meant I nailed the rookies (mostly) now trying to work out the premiums to target and hoping they may drop in price.

Grundy and Zerrett vs NicNat and Heeney
Grundy and Heeney look to be top 2/3 for their respective areas, do you have to choose. Whilst in isolation the combos might be similar, you may be able to catch up to Heeney in fwd line with others, whereas you will leak more points in rucks if Nic Nat doesnt close the current sizeable gap.

Billings v Hibberd

If you were going to trade one, which would it be? Other one probably hangs around for the rest of the season

I think Billings is more likely to turn his season around. Last week he had 23 touches and 81 AF but poor disposal meant he didnt get a good SC score. Surely the Saints can only get better from here which will hopefully mean Billings gets better too. Reckon he starts to hit the scoreboard soon too for some extra points.

Hibberd has had a role change which has seen his disposals per game plummet. If he continues to play the same role then I think he will be an 80 SC type of player all year unfortunately.

Billings stats are not as bad as his scores. I would keep him.
Hibberd seems to be playing a different role this year, while this continues so will his low scores.
