3 weeks of big minutes, then TPJ gets back, then likely 20 minutes off the bench for 2 weeks, then dropped when Fifita returns.

Sorry my bad I thought TPJ was back round 5. With trade numbers, I don't think he's worth it.

By all reports I've read, Andrew Fifita basically doesn't have a knee anymore and is just managing as best he can through his career.

He would need to get very cheap for me to consider him for fantasy.

I'm not sold either mate.  Coach said something about him being more the organiser over Taylor.

He organised himself to 113 fantasy points in round 1 of Queensland cup, with just 1 try. That said, I am leaning towards Hopoate and getting him next week.

He's a $228k starter who scored 113 last outing in Queensland Cup

Downside is dubious job security and potential for Elgey like scores (he scored 23 in his only first grade start, 3 years ago)

I'm getting him because he's 228 and playing, but he's not going to be kicking that much because Taylor is a good kicker, he's not going to be setting up many tries because the Titans don't score many tries, and Roberts at fullback is never going to work so he could be out of the team in two weeks.

If Hopoate gets 45 points per week for 3 weeks, then 20 points for the next week, I have him around +$200k for the 4 weeks. Hard to turn down for a $267k buy.

Just general comment

I would rather play with 16 for a week than trade in a nuffie CTR to cover Aubusson (or POnga or other 1 week absence)

I'd prefer to either trade in a keeper, or just take the blank. Bringing in Shibasaki for 1 round if you just plan on dropping him out of your 17 next week when Aubusson returns is likely to be a waste of a trade and $361k to get a one off benefit of 20-30 points

if they don't have a spot in your team after this week, don't bring them in.

And yes, the Cap rort as well @No Worries

have exactly 4 pieces of dead weight from the team list so I guess that's where my trades are going, will have to just sit on Fifita and Cleary and Williams is on his 3rd strike:

Watkins - Capewell
Cartwright - JTB
Stimson - Grant
Wakeham - Fogarty

443k to do something with next week

Is Katoa worth a trade in now he is sitting on the bench?

In regards to Liam Knight not good news that Souths have 4 forwards on the bench.

I can’t see Knight getting anymore than 45mins.

I’ve got that dilemma. My starting centres are Aubbo and Watkins.

I have Wiliame in emergencies.

I’m not sure whether I should go Watkins to Capewell or not...... or just play with 16.

I’m looking at Williams to Grant and Fifita to Lolo. No clue about the rest.

First time playing NRL fantasy, but based off this news, is:

Knight, Fifita, Watkins & Williams to Haas, Grant, Forgarty and Yeo a good move? or should i aim for say Matterson and keep one of my mid-pricers?

Who would you trade Watkins to if not Capewell?

IMO Capewell is a good trade in. Priced under 30 he can easily go close to 40 in the 2nd row. i think its worth the cash over Shibasaki

Aubusson + Capewell is no Nikora+Bateman but its a solid CTR pairing that will hopefully last the year

I wouldn't be trading him in at this point

Hoping he still gets around 50 minutes, used for impact off the bench. Should be good for 40ish again. On that basis would be a must have. Also a high chance he ends up starting.

That said, Katoa was named on the bench in round 2 but ended up starting over Papalii

Could well happen again

Which of the following, if any, would you pick if you could only get one?

E Katoa
Horsburgh
Flegler
Fogarty
