Did you watch him on the weekend? He looked really good, ran hard and the Knights were kicking to him in attack. His errors mostly came from contesting attacking kicks.

He's not a must have but I think he's a significantly better player than you're giving him credit for, he passed the eye test.

I did not watch any games on the weekend. Perhaps he has significantly improved from last year?

At the moment sharks props are playing:
Rudolph = 45mins
Tolman = 45 mins
Hunt = 25 mins
Fifita = 25mins
So they are gonna need to find more mins in that rotation somewhere.


It would make sense for Finucane to come back and play a 40-45min prop role, right?

For me, I can’t quite do JKing + SCrichton to Cleary + Taafe. Have decided that having three centres over $500k (four including Crichton) is too many. Who would you trade out along with JKing to get Cleary - Burton, Tago, or Bird? I can see arguments for and against all three - Burton seems to have the greatest potential to go bust/boom, Tago is a rookie centre, and Bird has been a mixed bag at five-eighth. Possibly leaning towards Tago.

Was toying with Coates + Nanai to Lee + Crichton (or maybe just Coates to Lee and bank some cash) but not sure either are really worth it? Maybe just bank the trades this week?

Grant is the best option. Curran maybe, don’t know about Tohu’s status. TPJ a more riskier option.

Taafe seems like a Kieran Foran type player to me in the sense that they're good in reality but it doesn't translate to fantasy scores. Needing 6 goals and a try assist to go above 20 points doesn't seem great to me. He might grab a double this week and get his price rises going fast but I don't think he'll be a great cash cow.

Is having to play Lee and looping one of Ilias,Coates and Thompson a good idea though?

It’s not ideal. Lee could completely shit the bed, or produce similar scores for 250,000 less. If you’re not keen to play Lee, option A is the go.
