Who left? I have 684/13 Haas C King Burton Nanai. Not sure how I'm tracking with that

hmmm do I take Paulo's 24 or play Billy Walters.

Walters had 16 tackles, 2MTs, 5 tackle breaks, a line break, 47rm, and 62km in 25mins last week....
I don't think we'll see a repeat of that this week

Randall has made 109 tackles for only 1 miss the last 3 games.

Any number of reasons why Starling might or might not start next week but to suggest it was 18 nil because he wasnt on the field is embarassing tbh

12/613 - Bully, Ming, Nanai, Walters and captain Haas left

I don't think anyone was suggesting that it was 18-0 because he wasn';t on the field

But that it was 24-22 because he was on the field. Which is largely true. he was very important in the Raiders comeback

Absolutely. But if you have that impact with fresh legs then it makes sense to me that the coach would start with frawley again and just ask very nicely for the team to not shit the bed early on

Play Walters.
You’ve got more to gain than you have to lose.

Spooked by the benched Starling into pivoting to Sexton for 10 less points. Starling comes in next week though, giving Fifita another chance against the Tigers and taking a look at Cleary.

11/644

I was a bit dissappointed with Sexton's 2nd half score, he was on track to go massive. The Raiders did well to get back into the game though

Random question but do we think Isaako becomes a regular in that Titans side? Probably takes a wing spot I'd guess?

Yeah happened to him twice now where the Titans were completely shut out in the second half. Im not worried about Sexy though, he will have some huge scores at some point to level out his 40s. May have set myself up for a tradeless week if id stuck to the Starling pick though.

Hudson Young could be a good pickup soon
Locked in for 80 on the edge and has been fairly quiet fantasy wise other than a try which saved his score in round 1
Plays the first bye and might be priced hopefully around 620k if he has another quiet week
More than capable of going on a scoring run, and one to buy on the up

Exactly. 35 I'll usually take. I didn't think twice about looping Leo instead of Ilias

Nah but he may not start and definitely won’t play 80. Only buy unicorns

Honestly the number of people knee jerking when starling was benched was far too high.

He’s now number 1 hooker and is good. He was a buy last week and still is

I'd stick Campbell on the wing he is too slight and a one (no) trick pony.

Too right.
I missed Starling getting benched, but was never going to reverse that trade.
It's simple maths, he's priced at 32 and should average 45, take the money on offer.
It's a no brainer.

It has to be a tough choice. Campbell doesnt look NRL standard at the moment. Isaako would only be a stop gap given hes off to the Dolphins, and pretty shit

Also on the list to buy in the next few weeks is Angus and DFifita
Surely Angus gets his spot back (Perhaps Tupouniua moves to the bench) and Fifita is due a big score
Easier to spend 150k less on a player and ride their form back

I mean you can always sell your gun for unders and buy the new high scorer of the week on overs I guess

I'd play Campbell at 14.
Bring him on when the defence is tiring (or as back 5 cover)
He is stifling Fifita and too often the attack stops with the ball in his hands.
