Totally agree with this, risks are good and are a big part of what makes fantasy gripping, but being super surprised when a risk doesn’t pay off is a little naive (And this is in no way directed at you ytsb, you have been a picture of magnanimity!)

McInnes had 74 tackles, 0 missed. Pretty impressive base to hit 90 points this week

need some cheapies to bring in next week to free up some cash

i have rudolf , jtb , walters , grant , fogarty ,

whos the next best and is walters a sell next week ?

I'm planning to sell Walters.
Best buy is Katoa, looking great, low BE, good enough to play in your 17 while starting 2RF
Also have Kerr
Probably too late to buy Hopoate

Maybe Best depending on if he gets Tuala's spot.

Walters will probably be good to make some more coin over the next two weeks, but might need to be sold to generate cash to get bottomed out guns such as Cook, Teddy, McInnes, etc.

Is any chance that once Tevaga returns Katoa goes back to smaller minutes off the bench? Katoa definitely should be starting but Kearney might prefer Tevaga/Harris/Papalii backrow.

Papalii has been playing middle.
Katoa has had 3 great games, can't see him not continuing to get big minute 2RF opportunities. Will have a negative BE again this week. Tevaga isn't due back for 2-3 weeks anyway, and Warriors haven't been recruiting experienced NRL forwards, just those to make up the numbers that weren't getting chances at other clubs.

Papenhuyzen up to 50 great effort without a try

Would it be too late to bring in JTB next week you think? Will be around 340k with a negative BE next week.. maybe Walters out for him

If Dean Britt scores 50-55 points tomorrow I’ll be very tempted to punt Brailey for Britt next week.

I suppose I’ll have to hold Magoulias now that I’ve brought him in.

I had a look just before and decided I won't be, didn't really get any more minutes than the first two games despite the big performance. Would have been great if picked up this week but for me I don't think it is worth it for what will likely be 350k and a 30 - 40 point guy most weeks.

Guess it depends what you think he is likely to keep scoring over the coming rounds.

Just checked. Im 20th for the round 909 with api and luai to come.

Edit 20th overall 92nd for the round. I think i jumped kome 1500 places

This is the Cokeheads year

13(c) / 808

Api, Capewell, Mann & Tommy Turbo to play

Papalli was playing 2rf today with Harris at lock for the entire game. But, yeah, when Tevaga's back you'd expect him either to start lock or play 50+ min off the bench.Tohu is going to play 80 whatever his position, so Katoa's minutes might suffer (but he's fine for a few weeks and will make cash in any event.)

I think ill get Ponga next round to finalise my WFB (Teddy, Turbo, Ponga & Papi as a reserve). Then ive finished my centres & wfbs. I figure i can play Katoa in my 2rfs for a couple weeks and i will have Capewell & Aubusson as my ctrs who can switch to 2rf if need be.

Some massive scores. I will take 900 from here.

776 with Api, Mann, Shiba, Turbo left

Hopefully Turbo has a blinder, first time owning him since playing seriously

I traded him in at work 15mins before kick off into my starting 17 gggrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I’ve had a bad round now 13/701.

And now I’m left with Magoulias who be useless if he keeps getting silly minutes!....

In fact the minutes for the Sharks forwards look really weird to me....

Why would you play him? Surely you had someone else on your bench worthy of playing mate?

I have Watkins still and am no clearer on which spud I trade him for.

I'm quietly hoping for one considering I started the round at rank 26000...

798 with 4 to come. Api, JMK, Levi and Capewell. Only have faith in Api to score 50+ lol
