Tohu once again played a hybrid middle/edge role. Started on the edge with Sironen in the middle until BMM came on. BMM interchange for AFB was a little earlier than I would expect due to AFB calf complaint, so unsure if you want to own Tohu in a 30 edge 50 middle role.

Egan got through the 80 minutes and played one of the best games I've seen from him. Service was improved, defence was good and he looked like he might add a few kick metres through out the year. With no one behind him to take the role he is probably going to make another 150k and should be considered by anyone not loaded up on hookers

Nikorima completely dominated the kick metres again, which IMO makes CHT fantasy irrelevant. If I needed a cash injection I'd be moving CHT on, if not holding and praying for some attacking stats to kick start cash generation.

AFB going off early probably gives non owners a chance to jump on before his price is out of reach. Think he settles into a 60-65 minute role and ends the year in the conversation for 3rd best MID. If he played the first bye rather than the second I'd be grabbing him ASAP

LAM did pretty much what I expected. First middle off the bench, bent the line when he ran and defended well. Think he is locked into that 35-40 minute bench role and normally goes about 1 PPM. Got an extra 7 minutes at the end when Bunty went off. Would normally expect this stint to go to Tevaga or JTB, but Warriors needed a bigger body to contain Knights middles.

Sironen started in the middle again and looked set to become a must have. However second interchange off for Tevaga and then didn't return until ~12 minutes to go. I don't want any part of a 40 minute Sironen.

Not going to go too in depth on Brailey because everyone has him, but he looks like a season long keeper

Knights starting pack of Klemmer, DSaifiti, Sue, Frizell and Barnett are going to dominate some bigger named packs this year. Sneaky under rated and should be right up in the conversation for best pack in the comp. Sue will take the starting role when the Knight's need a bigger body, with Watson taking it against your Cam Murray/Victor Radley types. Barnett with goal kicking might be the guy who elevates from 50>60, but unlikely to keep it and not something that could have been predicted.

Best will end the year as the number 1 fantasy centre and probably plays origin. Speed, power and footwork makes sure he always has plenty of metres. Loves to take hit ups coming out of trouble (hybrid role where you get the hit ups+tbs of a gun WFB + tackles of a centre ). Should have a better floor than most centre and his ceiling is banner territory.

Pearce unsurprisingly dominated kick metres next to the inexperienced Crossland. As long as he keeps this role he is fantasy relevant, but would take someone brave to trade him in.

Watson is built for fantasy. Unless he gets injured or suspended won't be leaving my team all year

JSaifiti is sneaky good as first middle off the bench. He is playing about as good as DSaifiti was in 2019 when he got his origin debut. Awkward price for fantasy, but if he cops a few low scores he could be value.

Hoy played a much better game this week. Returned kicks well, got his hands on the ball and made a few tackles on the goal line that boosted his score. Smokey for the right centre spot once Ponga is back if Mann is not ready. If I owned him I'd hold until the wheels fall off

Brimson had another low score that makes him juicy for non owners. Ready that war chest to pick him up at a significant discount as your cows peak. Not ideal that he is an origin player, but can't win them all

Lol. Kidding. Bit of a disaster last night. Cant believe he picked up his toys and went home early in the second half, thats probably the biggest worry. Any actual effort there and he might save his score to around 40 given we had so much ball, but he just gave up playing.

Fuck it will be an interesting week at red hill. Poor Kevy

Will you actually get him in as WFB3

Everyone will aim for Teddy as one of your final WFB

Pappy very popular as 2nd

Then Ponga/Latrell/RTS/Brimson/Nofo/random POD for 3rd. Is Brimson definitely going to be a better option than any of the others? Maybe if he gets a decent price discount at some point he'l be the best value. But I don't think he'll be top 3 on points.

Ponga with GK locked in as WFB 2/3. Teddy/Pap/Ponga. If Brimson gets cheap enough quick probably worth a look at getting him in rinsing his prices to hopefully original starting value and jumping off to one of the early season big 3

Brimson is a tough one.  That score in that win though is worrying.  Kind of one you would think will come good eventually though.

Don't know if Ponga will get the GK back the way Barnett is striking them.

Tempted to just sit on the trade and let them play for the spot next week.
Just not sure if a 20-25k loss is worth the wait when they will likely all make similar coin
