I figured something like that may be the case. Is it usual that that would trump where he's actually played in the NRL? Seems odd, but maybe not unusual.

Not sure how it works now, but initially it was the club that nominated which position a player would be available at.

Would make Raiders forwards a bit more appealing this week.

Looking for a one week punt?

Already have Tapine.

If Ilias stinks first round and Walters is a red dot, then I will likely bring in Tago and send Burton to the halves for a week. Not making any trades is paramount though, so I might even take the punt on a BW17 if Kevvy throws him a bone.

Not interested in trading out Russell? You think he might still return in a not too unfavourable amount of time? I must admit the world "indefinite" scares me off someone pretty quick.

Monkey brain

Who is best bet long run, nanai or tago,

Nanai if he plays 80 will average lots of base points

Tago plays in a better team, has dpp (I don’t particularly need the cover) and has more scope for attacking stats,

Which do you think will generate more cash throughout season

Initially I was leaning for nanai

Who makes more money from now?

TU: Tago
TD: J King

Martin or Wilton? Or Katoa for a bit less?

King needed 64 minutes to hit 39. Not having 3 players go down and needing him to play those kinds of minutes every week. Expect maybe 30 average, don't understand the fuss.

Thanks, I’ll be looking longingly at tago every week but agree nanai should average higher,

Nanai had 47 points of base this week, hit a keeper level EDG score with 57, without doing anything too spectacular, but clearly has that in him as well. Huge ceiling on his day.

Yeah historically he goes at approx 0.7 ppm which is give or take about 30 off 40. Should slow burn and be a safe option to plug in if you need him but probably not an urgent buy

If I didn’t have Tago already I’d be looking at him seriously on the end of attacking plays on what looks to be the best team in the comp again, plus a handy round 13 option

Burton hit 39 in 80 mins. 1 game doesn't define the season average in minutes played mate

Obviously fairly obvious, but Walters confirmed on 100% footy tonight that all 3 of Reyno, Kelly and Walters will be in the 17 this week. Didn't give too much away on who'd be starting alongside Reyno but would have to assume it would be Kelly with Walters in the 14 jersey

I had not read he has a punctured lung. Still working on his 3-6 week. But yeah, might be a blow too far.

Probably going to trade him to Tago
Although Starling could be the huge play, he does average 57.6 as starting hooker and might only need 2 or 3 of those and a couple of bench score to make his cash. Probably too spicey for my taste though.

Starling is a bit annoying cause I’m massive on him as a player but we still don’t know what his bloody role will be in a full strength raiders side. Watch Hodgson be out for 6 weeks though and he becomes a great option for everyone that took the punt ahaha

Its a pity they play the last game, can't know for sure what the team make up will be, Paix is surely making the 19 cut and can't see Walters' score to know if we should loop him in or not. With a -5 BE, a few 30 minutes for 30 points as bench HOK will do just fine for now, and the opportunity for him to make the case to get the starting spot.

In his career games > 40 minutes, he has an average of 32. In line with his massive minutes 39 this week.

He certainly isn't a Max who put up 57 in 38 minutes this week. Not a must have at all.

No mate immense game in limited minutes. But 100% unsustainable

JKing, nice minutes. Safe squad role. Safe pick

I'm getting MKing in with Yeo for Amone or Fermor/Lolo as I already own JKing
