    It’s hard to tell with such a small sample size. Plenty of players with big wraps on them in lower grades just don’t transition to NRL level. I know resident “big balls” POD picker @mattnz took a chance on him so he probably was watching him more closely than others and may have an opinion

    He is a low risk option, priced at 23, hasnt scored less than 26 in any of his appearances, despite no tries scored in first grade yet.

    Nice work by the Warriors to give Setu Tu the 22 jersey Lol

    Non-Fantasy observation, but Brenko Lee was outstanding I thought.

    Recovery from the tightrope surgery after a syndesmosis tear is one that’s getting quicker and quicker. 8 weeks is about normal these days which means 4-5 weeks minimum for Aekins. Always the possibility of him being eased back if the panthers are going well

    Is 5-6 weeks of Aekins worth it? I don’t remember him and the sample size is small

    Aekins is not a bad player, but 5-6 weeks is probably not be enough to make it worth a trade.

    Bonus points if you can convince the girl that watching the footy with you IS the date.
    Sort out if she’s a keeper or not right off the bat.

    We're supposed to be going to a comedy night. It would be a tough sell. Hmmm

    On Aikens, 5 weeks of 33's makes 90k, make it six weeks with one big score thrown in and you make an easy 150k. It's no guarantee to be a good pick but you could do a lot worse probably.

    yeah it's borderline, but it's not the first time a cow like this keeps on giving for unforeseen reasons. I may take the punt pirat
    Remember Jarrod Wallace a few years back? he was only suppose to play 5 weeks or so, but ended up playing an extended period of time (I think it was Wallace?)

    That’s what I was just about to say as well.

    Do we really think he played centre though and won’t alternate to the wing at times?

    It’s risky but maybe he could be a good POD.

    If Aubusson starts in the second row mightn’t Butcher take some minutes off him if the Roosters go with a 4 forward man bench?

    Do we reckon Harley Smith gets that centre spot for the Raiders?

    Dragons and knights look to be basically full strength hit outs for the first half.

    Boring backline for the Dragons fantasy wise. Lovodua starting 9.

    Sione started right edge for knights
