Sucks to have to play both of them but probably not worth burning trades on it. That said, I sold Haas to Hunt since I think he will score more points.
Talau on that left wing is just as bad as HTF, if not worse, since Mbye and Brooks are notorious ball hogs and he gets nothing out there. If the sides were swapped, Talau would be a keeper and Nofo would be scoring 20s.
Nofo has the advantage that he makes a lot of metres with carries from his own end and has the ability to get a TB or two or an offload. So even for a winger, his low floor is relatively good. His lowest score this year is 30 which is great. Talau though just gets the carries for a few metres. He's had a few good weeks though were he got some ghost TB's awarded but not as notorious as Nofo in that department. I feel the Tigers attack suffers from both sides not passing it out as much as they should, Nofo's side included. So many times Doueihi could shift a ball straight out away to either winger from a kick return and they could make something happen but instead he runs straight into the defence and then Talau or Nofo take the next run when defence is set. Maybe it's a gameplan but they miss opportunities.
Add Brooks cutting back on the inside, then if it does get to MBye he'll do the same. BJ is guilty of the same thing. Maybe it's my fantasy goggles.
I'm already running Herbie but he has a crack so have to back him, and I do think Talau over Hammer is sensible. 21 from Hammer last week with that big try is atrocious.
