Rd 18 discussion

1,181 for the round and back in the top 3,000

Still only one trade left and $3k in the bank, so I guess we're stuck with the 33 point centre combo of Crichton and Fuimaono for at least another week...  

Pretty much just gotta run it back

If Ponga is out AND Talau is back we can run a loop for that last WFB spot, but I don't think either of Talau/Hammer is going to score particularly well

Yeah, easy hold. Decent 17, no upgrade money, it’s really just a spare trade for an injury yeah?

Ponga, Paps and Fui all out.

HTF into the starting side obvs but still leaves two out.

Use the trade or not? May as well I figure. Ofa/Siro to a CTR/WFB to fill in/18th man.
I don't think we should trade either Paps or Ponga if they're going to be back next week.

I think we trade

Better use to a trade on a definite out with 3 weeks to go, than hold it for a later injury that may never happen

Agree with this. Plenty of FRF cover so take a punt on Ofa/Siro to CTR/WFB for the next few weeks

CTR/WFB under 400k

Will Hopoate $406k (only for BSiro)
Jordan Rapana $393k (Siro or Ofa)
Val Holmes $388 (Siro or Ofa)
Esan Maesters $336 (for Talau)
Corey Allen $315k (for Talau)

Has Blake Ferguson started a run of tries? we can get him
or take a punt on someone like Naden , Croker , Ramien gettign a few tries in the last 3 weeks.

Plenty of options for a 3 week punt

I'd add Vunivalu in there - they're up against the Cows, Tiges and Dragons in their last three.
He's as much chance as any of the others of going large too.

Ideally we'd trade Talau over Ofa/Siro

Siro especially is a useful 18th man

Croker as good an option as any in that price range

Will never get dropped or suspended

For Talau, I think Ramien is the most reliable option. Undervalued because of his injury where he scored 3.

Otherwise it’s a gamble on guessing the winger that score tries.

Agree its time to use the last trade. My preference would be for a CTR, as we've got HTF as currently playing WFB cover.

And can I just say no way to Corey Allan?
