Which cow should I be looking at out of To’o, Arthurs, Staggs, Mann, Burns, Robson?

Burns is significantly more expensive than the others so is obviously the best option for an 18th man down the track, but there's still possibility he 1-2 weeks away from return

Out of the cheaper options I'd rate them: Mann, Staggs, To'o/Arthurs, Robson
Mann and Staggs play R16 and have good job security (for Mann now Levi is injured and Staggs as Bird injured and Roberts left club). To'o/Arthurs look like decent prospects (was genuinely surprised when I looked at Arthurs' scores) and Robson is a bench HOK

Depending where you need cover and how many trades I'd look at Mann or Staggs first

Can we safely assume Mann plays 80min at either hooker or in the halves, depending on how Watson slots in? But either way, those two will get 80min in one role or the other? Or fullback if/when Ponga doesn’t back up. But either way, 80min guaranteed for a while?

Out of those I would only consider To'o, Mann & Burns

If Burns is named to play I would go for him but he is coming back off a long term injury so if you're a risky fantasy player pick him this round but if you are a conservative fantasy player then I'd adopt the wait & see approach. Note also he doesn't play round 16.
I really liked what I saw from To'o the last couple of games because he's looks to get involved, has a high work rate & has good feet & he has a b/e of -9 this week. Note that he doesn't play round 16 & his next 2 games are roosters & souths but the way he plays imo he'll still go ok against them (I suppose it's a good time to play the roosters & souths due to a few of their players in origin).
Mann is an good pick, plays round 16, is a dpp hok/hlf & has a b/e of 8. With Levy out for 6-8 weeks & with Mann looking like he is the first choice 58th over Watson then he has job security. My only reservation is with Pearce, Ponga & Watson looking to dominate possession then Mann could be living off the scraps.

If you are struggling for round 16 numbers I'd go Mann but if you have heaps of trades left & can afford to pick some non round 16 players I'd go Burns if he's named or if you want to wait & see re Burns then I'd go To'o.

How many points do you expect Mann to get

I wouldn't have a clue how many points Mann will score this week because the last 2 games at 58th he's scored 54 & 22. Mann seems 1 of those players that can go big or small but hopefully he can settle on the 30-45 point range.

"James Roberts’ arrival back at Redfern couldn’t have been better timed.

Boom young centre Braidon Burns was due to return from a hamstring injury this weekend but broke down at training recently and could be out for at least another three to four weeks"
