  .... I think this is the order i'm rating them as well. I'll sleep on it and assess tomorrow when we get the TLT

I like the DPP too. This could be a no brainer, or an epic trap, and I have no idea which.

Some of those halves are treading water after 30 m in the back field

I can go Lodge to Ah Mau or Joffa. Joffa the safer more consistent option?

who to get rid of roberts, bird, or averillo

I brought in peachey for nas and I am planning lenui for one of these chumps but maybe i don't need to pull the trigger this week

Will wait for the team lists but if I could do Lodge to Ofa in one trade, would that be smart?

Think it's definitely down to Fui or Leniu for me but like others it's just so hard to decide who the trap is here (plot twist it will probs be both)

Not Pompey? he was 18th man on the weekend

Pompey is a better 18th as he can play the whole backline. I think with Aitken out though, they bring Montoya in. Could be wrong, but I think Brown sees that as stronger than Pompey centre (or wing)

I think the DPP may swing me

I'd always go for the starting guy as #1 choice at least you know he's guaranteed 20 minutes or so....I'm short about $10k

I still reckon Averillo can do better. He's still a starting half and was scoring OK before switching positions and he was playing in the wet. I don't have Bird or Roberts, but they might come good?!?

My concern with Ah Mau is what his minutes would look like if Sirro and Egan didn't go off.

Definitely looping, plays late in the round, so ideal for looping

This is the beginning of about 138 pages of Leniu or LAM or JOfa isn’t it?
(I’m going Milf btw. Is it too late to join the league?)

Well that's annoying as a Warriors fan

Edit: Montoya probably comes in as Winger, Fus to CTR

While losing Fus hurts for bringing the ball back, I rate him better as CTr thn WFB FWIW. He can draw defenders in, big body, thus freeing up the outside man

He's been average as a winger since SJ left. If only Bunty could do Kick Returns

yeah, it's down to Bird or Roberts. I am not convinced that Bird does not shift to lock and that would change things.

perhaps Dufty going off screwed with the original plan. William on the bench still seems odd. Roberts could come good but Leniu seems solid

Just looked at Fus scores at CTR, since he’s so cheap - no scores over 32 without tries. Trap for sure. Might bottom out at 228k in a few weeks

I just watched the 2nd half of Dragons because I couldn’t last night and I like to punish myself. Don’t know why people are concerned about Bird - a different video ref gives him a forced turnover and try assist instead of a knock on, suddenly there’s a very nice score.

Everyone else seems to be going a different route to me, have managed to avoid the temptation to bring in a CTR, my primary target is Collins. Beasting in 63 minutes, just great base stats. Happy to give up Riki to get him. Can see Riki beating his 10 missed tackles from last week vs a fit Fifita and getting dropped to the bench.

NAS > Collins
Riki > Brailey
$4k remaining

Gives me 2 very playable guys that look like they can go huge on their day.

How good is it watching Bunty hit the ball up at speed! Warriors forward pack is going to be exciting to watch this year.
