Anyone else sceptical of Lomax being able to maintain? I picked him because he was FB, which lasted all of one game. Feels like walking a tightrope each week as he moved to WG and then settled at CTR.

Other than Titans this week, Dragons have a pretty tough run ahead, so I'm expecting him to drop off a bit soon.

Not a drama if you have him, but trading him in you might be paying a premium when some cheapie would suffice.

Lawrie played 13 earlier in the year, no reason he wouldn't go back there. With 50-60mins there he should start banging out 50s again too.
Probably not quite cheap enough to warrant bringing in, and not quite good enough scorer to be considered a keeper though.

The reason he wouldn't go back there is that earlier in the year Saints were shit and, as soon as they stuck Hunt at hooker, they weren't.

Hunt might not start at hooker, but he's going to be playing 60+ minutes there from now on. McInnis might fill in for 20 but he'll play most of the rest of the game as a small lock, Murray/Radley/Tevaga style. McInnis might get spelled for a bit and there's the 20 minutes when he's at hooker, but whoever "replaces" Graham isn't in for a big role imo.

Robson can still be that 50 tackle guy, he also has an excellent dummy half run game and has TBs in him. I’m not sure he plays 80 consistently though which is my main down on him. If he does long term I think he goes close to 60 avg

Agree on your takings

Drinkwater > Fogarty > Luai in that order.

Drinkwater has more chance to go 40+

Fogarty against Dragons could find some space/TA's/Tries

Luai against Storm

Drinkwater purely based on fact he can’t be much shitter than last week

To be fair it was against the mighty Warriors

Cheers. Yep, would be annoying to drop Drinky into the EMGs and then see him go large. Medium term plan is to upgrade but need some better cows to come through for that.

Isn't bulk of his points coming from tackles so fixture proof

No centres standing out. He’s doing well without attacking stats. I wish I started with him and even considered getting him last week

Take the 40 and enjoy making moves on the rest of your team
