Haas stats this week - 200+ metres (20), 11 TB's (33), 1 LB (4), 2 OL (4), 33 TCK (33). Whatever that's worth.

94

Who would you guys play in the centres out of Nikora and Burns?

Looks like he's got the lock position as his own for now but he is managing that injury which is the real concern for owners, I'd say.

My team this round is:

1. Tedesco
2. Trbojevic, T
3. Nikora
4. Bateman
5. Tuivasa-Sheck
6. Ponga
7. Johnson
8. Haas
9. Cook (c)
10. Fifita
11. Murray
12. Trbojevic, J
13. Taumalolo

14. Smith, C
15. McInnes
16. Matterson
17. Taupau

18th man: Mahoney

2 trades left, 110k ITB

Doesn't help Munster/Walters though

Lets hope Pappy does a Papillon and finds his way 'out' onto the field longer...

The urge to trade is real.

Great reference

Milford has a whiff of chasing points (and Im annoyed he returned within a week), but while he is kicking long hes getting the best of both fantasy worlds.

Obviously the imminent returns of an actual half will probably cut into his kick metres, but to what extent..

Thedre is the chance of re-aggravating his knee injury too, but he didnt show any signs of concern on the weekend.

Definitely get Teddy, but Milf over Ponga could be a good shout.

Skills gets you to the top 500, luck is needed to get any higher than that. One bad captain choice can be the difference between 200 and 500

I capt Farah for his 8 and then capt Fifita for his 11. Im currently sitting 21st but those two captaincy fails probably ended any chance of a top 10 finish

Did not expect to see Kerr named in the Dragons. First time I actually plan to have a red dot this week, and nope.

Which option is better?

7. Reynolds
17. Taukeiaho
18. Brooks
(4 trades remaining)

Or

7. Brooks
17. Murray/Taukeiaho (Loop)
18. Murray/Taukeiaho (Loop)
(5 trades remaining)

With JWH found not guilty guess won't help SST score well now this week

I'm confused, are you trading Murray to ARey?

Certainly the first option appears stronger with ARey at half, Brooks plays before Tauk on five occasions which is handy for looping whereas looping Murray and Tauk is less appealing because you'd expect similar scores although I think Murray will outscore. It's marginal though and I'm not sure it's worth the trade. Any other way to get a better half in?

I’d personally be going with Burns for now.

Is Tevaga worth my final trade? Little bit worried about the return of THarris. His presence may force Blair to 13 and Tevaga to 14!?. Hmm Thoughts.

Who are you trading? Do you really have to trade? Long way to go.

Depends if trust his ankle. Also come round 21 when Harris is back i'd say he will definitely be back to the bench so scores will dip back to usual from then on for the rest of year. So if can't trade him out then will get lower scores for rest of year.

Oh and with 1 trade left I definitely wouldn't do it as you be stuck with those lower scores from him round 21 onwards.

Any recommendations with the cheapies this week? I ideally wanted a $212 option but as I’m trading out Staggs I’d prefer some CTR coverage. Anyone know the story with Toomaga at the Dogs? Was scoring single digits in tiny stints last year, but got a 32 in 35min last week. Anyone know anything about his job security? Who’s he in for? I’d really prefer someone who can put together some emergency score if I need it for my centres and wonder if he’ll do?

I had Lomax, Arthars and now Staggs in my team who I’d hoped would cover the CTR position, but with Staggs now going for Cook I feel a little nude.
