Will be interesting how this plays out. As RTS owner dont want him just stuck on the right hand side of the field again

Thanks mate some good advice there. I would like to maybe do Turpin to Moses but not sure I can. Lets see what TLT throws up.

If Teddy plays I can field 17 if not it doesn’t look good especially if Jet is dropped.

If Teddy is out and Jet plays I have this:

Bird Roberts
Laurie Hampton Simonsson

My concern is that’s far too weak to run out with.

I suspect a lot of people will have pretty similar back lines....you have quality sitting injured so unless you want a team that is too 'backline heavy' you have to ride it out until someone comes back from injury (as long as you can field 17). It's a bad idea to force a trade to cover a one week injury when you have 17 anyway

Walsh at 6 huh? SOS to Moses has definitely firmed into favouritism

Think I might bring in Walsh now.

SOS being EMG, does this make him a must tradE?

Not urgently necessarily, as he won't lose any money not playing. But likewise he won't be making any either. I think most people will trade him as he's made money and is at that sweet spot for a downgrade for nice bank, or upgrade for points

How long does Josh Curran keep his spot for? Will Katoa push him out?

Hoping Levi isn't in the 21 so I can hold Turpin and still have the same trade ins. Would like to get rid of Niu instead since he seems a long way down the pecking order

Hope Tohu really is back. Still can't believe I traded him in, locked trades with Riki + Tino playing early, and then he was out.

Walsh will be very tempting if I need a WFB, which I almost certainly will.

In real life, I don't mind that team. Fus + Pompey back helps a lot after our outside backs were literally last man standing against the Storm. I'm quite excited to see how that spine goes too.

You'd probably have to be a little insane to do it, but Kodi could be an interesting option if he's the dominant playmaker. Already averaging 52 this season, has the goal-kicking. Will Walsh take all of CHT/SOS's 250-ish KM right off the bat? One to watch.

I reckon there's zero chance of this hey.

Walsh worth the punt if he's at 6? They clearly want to give him game time, and he looks the goods, but there is the risk that SOS pushes him back out, or CHT does when he gets back.

That said if it was up to me, I'd be moving Nikorima to 9 or 14 once CHT is back and then run Walsh and CHT as the halves.

Not really feeling it with Walsh personally just yet.

COmpletely agree mate.. He looked electric when he ran at the line and it's what the Warriors have been missing. With RTS behind him, I can see him being the main half even. His kicking game was strong also, great distance and a tormenting bomb.

We're all wondering if he's worth the risk this week... SOS -> Walsh may be a popular one

I'll probably need a WFB and wasn't keen on bringing a fifth one in just to cover a one week injury.....but he might well be the best choice for cash cow in any case if he gets a decent run in the halves. Egan and SOS for Walsh and Harris looks decent. Leaves enough for Welch to Koro in a couple of weeks.

Yeah I'm expecting him at 14

One main reason I'm looking at Walsh is that if I get him instead of Curran/Blore/etc., I can then buy Macca or Haas instead of Ponga, and therefore have another round 13 number and better team balance.

I'm giving him a miss. Looks talented but concerned he is too small to be a fantasy relevant scorer, especially defending in the front line

I personally see about a 1% chance that Haas doesn't play origin.

It's pretty much his spot all locked up until you trade him in

I would do SOS > Walsh for what looks like a semi decent cow and the opportunity to not play Roberts
