    I took a punt on Ofa last week over Wallace as I thought there was a bigger chance he retains a starting spot......but given subsequent injury updates there's not much between them (speculative reports short on detail for both Arrow and Flegler).

    To make it harder they both got 46 last week with the start!!! (more minutes for Ofa though)

    Gut feel is still that Ofa gets more points between now and the end.

    Thanks dude. Leaning that way also.

    In top 50, down to 15 with three trades remaining, have traded lolo for a FRF but still down 1 for this week only

    Should I ride with 16 and keep two in the bank incase there a more severe injuries later or trade to a player like ofa who will cover me well this week but is abit of a dud long term

    If you have troops coming back next week maybe hold.

    Ofa gives you 30-40 points this week then nothing (as long as he is not in your 17 for good) but probably robs you of the opportunity of a sideways upgrade/injury cover which could net you more over the last four rounds.

    Tough call given your ranking....

    Thoughts on Twal vs Barnett vs NBrown?

    Twal has dual but risks having fewer mins than pre-injury

    Brown seems to be doing well but has a low score in him

    Barnett looks like the best scorer of the three (unless Twal gets lower mins), but could lose minutes when D Saifiti returns

    Tigers haven't won many games since he and Grant went down. Now they are both back and Tigers coming off a few losses I expect Madge to go back to what was winning them games - Grant 80 minutes (maybe not this week while he gets fitness back) and Twal playing big mins.

    FTFY

    To answer the question I'd go with Brown.

    Eisenhuth hanging around is a threat to Twal's minutes(wasn't there at the start of the season) and I think a 60 minute Brown outscores a 60 minute Twal

    Barnett is fools gold getting extra minutes due to injury every single week

    Brown is a pretty safe 65-70 minutes.  Has been really good the last couple of weeks too. Even after a slow start last week with about 5 missed tackles in the first 15 minutes.

    Looks like I'll be taking Brown, and now I finally have an Eels player in my squad Very Happy

    If Siro manages a decent score tonight I might hold trades.

    That's a tough one.

    I'm feeling OK about Siro tonight, I reckon he goes 35+, which I'll be happy enough with.

    I don't know the stats but Matto takes a lot of carries down that right channel. Should be plenty of tackles for Siro.

    Never actually set up my team this way but I guess it is pretty smart. Have swapped Siro and Bateman as Bateman plays later in the week... just in case.

    I personally have the Rabbits over the Eels tonight. Rabbits played themselves into great form against Manly last week. Eels have been struggling bad. Will be a tough one. Siro to score a try and Matterson with 50+ tackles.

    It’s more relevant for a player traded in that week so you can reverse if needed and have a greater amount of players to choose from

    Says me who traded in CS9 this week and locked in as captain
