Lol jack will be fine. He has a few poor scores and then comes out with a string of 100s.

Drop him now and watch him kick 5 and have 20 odd possys

Exactly this. He will come good. I hope everyone jumps off tho

Yeah I was annoyed at myself for starting Neal-Bullen over him in a rushed decision.

Billings hasn't started as well as I'd expected either, but I'm happy. Just means I can get him in soon without having to blow the budget. I'm pretty confident he'll finish the season as a top-6 forward if he stays healthy.

This guy is the least of my problems, so that shows you how bad I'm going  ;D

Not exactly heaps of proven forwards to get right now anyway so I'll back him in and still think he will be a Top 6-10 forward

The Saints are playing shower football and won't be long before the coach starts changing things around , Armitage is not playing well so expect Billings to get more of a run in the mids soon , IMO

Pissed off I started him, as I thought Acres would be the one to step up for the saints this year

Could be a good get in 2 -3 weeks when his price gets closer to 400k. Could almost sideways a Bundy to him for F6, very tasty indeed.

I'm a saints fan and I'm sad I didn't have the balls to go acres. Thought it was me being bias

1 good score, 1 pass score and 1 shower score and everyone wants to trade him out. Have people gone crazy?

Yes the saints are shower but most expected them to be a bottom 6 team this year (I certainly did) so yet again (like Hibberd last week) stick to your structures and your plans and back the premium priced players you selected in and only trade keepers at this stage of the year for LTI's

Billings > Walters does sound good.  ;D

One day I will start Walters.

Was out of Billings and Walters for my last forward spot when I was putting my team together and I picked the wrong one!  :'(

I have Walters, and he has done well against Bombers and GC. Scored 83 vs Port though and I feel Freo and therefore Sunny will struggle vs top sides especially away.
If trading Billings ( which I am hesitant to do even if I didn't have other problems like Brayshaw and Merrett)
I would look at McLean,Heeney,Smith,Greene or even Petracca before Walters.
83 is more likely his output in tough games rather than 130 vs GC. Obviously I do hope I'm wrong as an owner though!

I seem to have only made one questionable choice so far, and it's this guy. (Jury still out on Sicily too)

He'll be a rollercoaster no doubt, but as I now have 4 other FWD prems and Christensen, I'm willing to hold.

Like others here, am confident for 90+, and likely top 6-10 forward.

(Really hope he doesn't get dropped this week though ;D)

I'm not sure what made this guy such a lock? He was one of the most popular forward premium selections, even with an injury interrupted pre-season.

He barely gets any midfield time either compared to some of the other forwards.

Heeney, McLean, Walters, Smith, Gray, Petracca & Buddy all looking like safer chances of scoring well at this stage.

I grabbed him based on the promise of midfield minutes & extra work on his goal kicking. Not panicking just yet.

Saints are playing atrocious footy, when they bounce back he will be back to popping tons week in week out

Yeah the reactions on this bloke are OOT

It's been 3 games

It's easy to say you should have started someone else in hindsight, but before Round 1 most of the forward options looked crap and he was a clear standout choice

This guy is the least of my worries
