    I've gone Musgrove to Katoa now. Might hold Stimson and hope he pulls something out tonight... if not he becomes Grant next week.

    Looking at Musgroves stats on MTB's site and the poor lad has never scored an NRL try....

    My bench is tricky. I've got Brailey, Walters, Levi, Knight and Katoa but unsure which 4 to choose to play.

    Any thoughts on who I should go for? Leaning toward Katoa as 18th man but he could see some good minutes.

    I rank it Waltera, Brailey, Knight, Katoa Levi... Levi played 62 minutes last week. Katoa is starting back row so should see similar or more.

    He wasn't on mine either, but without delving deep into his stats last week, I think he put up some solid metres in a loosing team, without any tries TS or majors like those.

    Now I know he will be in a loosing team most weeks, however they won't be playing grand finalists week in week out.


    Ohh and I forgot the biggest point. He isn't Lomax or Williame.

    This Stimson talk is all good, but I guess you have to put him into perspective. Is he amoung your two most pertinent trades. I have Stimson, Levi, Aekins, Williame. I need some cash to upgrade my most obvious problem in Aekins, so Levi has to go as well.

    I reckon Stimson has slightly more upside than some other duds from week one.

    and it gives me a reason to watch Thur night footy. But on the other hand it gives me an extra two days to rue my decision to keep him....

    I only started with Walters in SC because he's dirt cheap, bias towards Tigers and more importantly I figured this Storm trade had stalled.

    With the trade looking more likely (depending on this Momirovski contract situation), I've made moves to raise the cash to flick Walters next week or tentatively hold on a week-by-week basis.

    Granted we can only have 2 HKs in SC, but NRLF's reduced squad size makes it hard to justify trading him in with questionable JS imo.

    Thanks mate.

    If Levi is going to be an NPR, trade him and another mid ranger to a gun. Thats what I did this week.

    Just had a look and that was only the second time ever Hughes had no tackle busts (career avg 3.8 ). Add in his most ever kick metres and most ever tackles and he's a very tempting prospect.

    Do we he maintains that sort of base? Or just an above average game with Munster a little quiet?

    The thing that convinced me on Watkins is the game where his team got thrashed and he scored 70, without a try.

    Have you considered bringing in Katoa for Su’a rather than Guler?

    Yeah thanks bro,have just started exploring that possibility now. If I trade Sua to Katoa I can trade Friend to Cleary with 2k spare. Solid trade?

    He’s on my radar as Wiliame will be dropped next week when Rava is back, Lomax goes to centre.

    Great analysis, I missed that. If he gets the same kind of kicking meters again this week, I will be working out a way to try to get him in (not sure how yet).

    Really... Lomax 100% goes back to fullback when Ravalawa is back. he's playing wing to cover because they have no decent wing options and Dufty can't play wing. Mary has been high n Lomax all preseason I doubt he only gets 1 game,

    I would’ve thought Sailor or Saab were good enough WFB options.

    First time playing NRL Fantasy this year and stumbled across this forum and have found it extremely useful, so cheers!

    Looking for some guidance on my first trades... I had a good Rd1, Ese'ese seems to be my main problem and am thinking of shipping out Lomax too.

    Have a heap of options on my mind and can't decide, any thoughts?

    My team is:

    Smith
    Haas Carrigan
    Williams Fifita Ese'ese
    Wakeham Moses
    Shiba Aubusson
    Ponga Drinkwater Lomax

    Koro Katoa Walters Stimson
    Luai Wiliame Kennedy Rudolf

    Only $6k cash

    Ese'ese to Horsburgh would be an obvious move but then reading about Hors' potential future risky job security on here has put me off...

    Could go to L Leilua instead and then do Lomax to Watkins?

    But then I also like the idea of bringing in Isaako or Hughes but that would mean my Ese'ese replacement has to be Mikaele or Guler
    I like removing Lomax and Ese, would be trying to find a way to get a replacement for Wakeham in the playing 17 while getting rid of Lomax.
