    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.

    My two cents. If I had 5 trades I'd trade Haas. I push the envelope with trades though. Agree with MS though, would want it to be for one of those guys he mentioned.

    The ones he mentioned, the only ones I don't have are Cook and Bateman. I guess either of those should score the same as Cook. But as I said that would now be with 4 trades and leave me with 3. I think I'd like Haas for the last 4 weeks. Tough.

    Tbh I'm playing Hammer ahead of Talau, who I have in the loop with Averillo (though I will only play Averillo over him if he gets into the starting side on Sunday). Trading Haas to Hunt means I don't have to play all three of them.

    What's your thinking on Hammer over Talau?

    Should be a cracking night of footy from a fantasy perspective tonight. Went Bateman as captain instead of Hunt, McInness or Cleary so will be a nervous watch.

    Here's our Round 15 weekend preview - we look at Johnson v Cleary and the Broncos pack as two of the key points for tonight's games:

    just saw this, not sure when exactly, my guess would be midnight after Sunday, though having a look this morning, seems like most of the good stuff is gone already, except for Sharks, Titans and Origin stuff, every other club seems to just have some combination of shorts, scarfs, beanies and/or water bottles left

    My thinking is that Hammer gets the ball more than Talau, and while his base is nonexistent, he at least has some upside since he's getting the ball while Talau isn't.

    The best thing that could happen to Talau is BJ or Mbye getting suspended so he can shift into centre and have Kapoa outside him. At centre Talau at least has good base and will get you a solid 25-30 a game just in that.

    Are you implying some of the family duties may have in fact been outsourced ?

    In good news NSW down to just 1 new COVID case yesterday, after a couple of days of single digit growth.

    Did well given a few weeks ago it looked like we might be about to explode like Victoria. Hopefully this keeps up for a while.

    Any idea what Eisenhuth actual BE was. Usually I add 10 to BE on MTB site so trying to figure out how much will cost roughly. Think I'll look at Heth>Eise next week so may be able to afford Aubo to Mofo but not JFH

    Alternative is just get Ofa this week. Reckon he's safe for at least 40 avg?

    "Roosters coach Trent Robinson said on Friday that Sonny Bill Williams was progressing well in preparation for his return to the NRL in round 17 while Boyd Cordner was back in training and expected back "soon" after his recent stint out due to head knocks."

    Soon

    Welch looked good last night for a cut price FRF to play in your 17, but WTF knows how the storm line up for the run home with injuries suspensions etc

    Might be a Pearce swap for me if he gets a start

    Edit : dreaming I have enough trades left for this Very Happy

    Indeed. But Bromwich will take some of those minutes back you'd think.
