Assuming no TLT shocks, it’s Mann for me. Randall should get back to 40s without much drama, so not an urgent sell. Whereas for Mann to get 40s he seems to need a lot to go right - no HIAs/injuries anywhere in the team, minutes, specific role in attack etc

Both Tupou and Pene received 1 game suspensions.

Mann needs to be in a team going forward, to wreak havoc. Randall at least can be a tackle bot with a known role in defence when his side is getting punished.

I was seeing some sides that had lots of Knights players, which would be a concern at this time. Some had 4 or 5 knights between Randall, Mann, Leo, Jones, Ponga & Lee.

Well I had a strong round round scoring 956 which saw my rank go up from 2068 to 1550. Angus a bit underwhelming who I brought in as was Mann, Randall and Arrow. Apart from that cant complain things going in the right direction. I only have 14k spare. 

Early thoughts are Randall and Mann could be sells could look at Randall to Hastings and Mann to Lolo I guess. As of now I have just 6 round 13 players so Lolo would be my 7th.

People content with Lolo if he averages low 50's going forward ?

Seriously think if you are looking for a mid over the next month or so that plays round 13 that Tevaga would be the pick of the bunch on value. Should score 50's.

If I wasn't having to buy Cleary I would be buying him. Probably Randall or Mann to Tevaga.

If he averages 50 he is $20k underpriced to bring in now. Wouldnt be my target unless you are expecting high 50s average from him.

There is simply no guarantee Tevaga hangs around long enough to be relevant at all.

I have been seriously looking at it. Scored well in a team that was beaten by 70 points at the weekend. Always a good sign.

Tohu coming back is the only real risk factor. If Curran is out for a while, they could bring Tohu back on the EDG that they can't seem to find the right player to fill each week.

Cant see Tohu coming back straight in for huge minutes anyway, going to McInnes his way back into the team.

Pene is out this week with suspension. MID stocks are low, and Brown was really unhappy with players clocking off. Tevaga wasnt one of them. 46 tackles, 2 missed.

Is Starling still a worthy buy? Keeper material possibly? Plays round 13 too.

Daejern Asi joins warriors immediately for remainder of 2022

Is Harry Grant still a good trade in? Looking at getting him for Curran

Likely to play this week. Didn't train with main group yesterday (sort of expected). They will make decision at captains run tomorrow.

Just looked at that about 30 seconds ago...if he gets the mins from the last two weeks and can manage not to get binned or suspended its a serious option

Edit : Tohu may or may not come back in the next 3 or 4 rounds but generally you don't jump straight back in to 80 in the middle mins off the back of an ACL

Edit : major drawback is I swore never to buy him again

Started quietly this week, 22 at the half, but came good eventually. Has looked great every week. Decent tackle count, huge upside with attacking stats. His fitness is up to speed now, no stopping him.

Booze is just about the biggest Tevaga fan in the world. Would love to hear his thoughts on flavour of the week

If he's flavour of the week than I cant buy on principal

Bye rounds are going to suck.

Although after trades I now have Grant, Haas, Papali'i, Cleary, Aitken, Papy, Hynes, Tedesco all as keepers.

Trades after round 13 will mean MKing, Fermor, Schneider definitely go. Think I'll just be patient with Burton and Tago long term. Starling is probably a keeper too.

Mann, Tuilagi, Jones and Thompson to go before round 13.

Now what to do with Moale, Vailea and Moeroa.

Just don't swap Moale or Moeroa to Rushton. Got to love low minute forwards.

Looking at Angus - his career 2nd row average is near 60, he's never averaged under 50 in a season in that position. First time ever with 4 successive 2nd row scores under 50. New trend or variance?
