That’s tough mate. Are you ok?

Yeah I would assume he’s fine to go but if he’s not a keeper and his price is about to plummet it might be a good idea to move to a keeper? He’s made 100k so not optimal but if ya can grab a Moses/Macca type

White Lightning wrote:If Tupouniua is gtg round 5 I won't sell because (a) I want to save 2 trades & (b) he's up against the Sharks who will concede plenty of points so Tups could get a try/attacking points.

White Lightning wrote:Of my 3 players today Laurie is highly owned so no real rank gain, Liddle also highly owned so no real rank gain but some may bench him but I'd say the majority will play him. My 3rd player Roberts is the only 1 who could provide a rank gain but he'll have to score big to gain any meaningful rank gain. He will have to go large because there's a few Eels players that are owned & some other Tigers players.

If Ponga is fit Watson could start in the halves as they only have Green & Crossland or maybe Barnett will start in the halves & Watson bench as usual & they won't play Crossland.

Are you sure Ponga will be back? Did O'brien mention it? I thought he was 2 weeks away as of last week?

And I try to never make a decision based on a singular big score, but this one's certainly intriguing. Big value purchase there if that's a taste of how he's going to play from here on in.

Can't forget those first three weeks, though. I know others here weren't interested in him either - has this changed other non-believers minds? I'm almost convinced I still won't be swayed, but he certainly put forth a compelling case tonight.
