Plays round 13.  Not going anywhere.

Not that this necessarily applies to Starling, but don't cost yourself 10 points a week for 5 weeks, in order to get an extra 30 points in R13

Thank god TLT gave us a cheap centre to fixate on. Would be so weird to focus instead on bringing in good players in good positions.

Don't really care that he's a centre. Cheap with negative BE, should make cash *if* keeps the spot.

True but he scored 52 the week before so not panic stations yet.

Papy > Meaney
Thompson/Mann > Elliot

Hope for the best again

Reckon Frawley stays in the Raiders side ahead of Schneider when Wighton back, unlikely as it was he was close to their MotM last week. Schneider's been doing not much. Not worth holding for 13 for mine even before the Fogarty news.

Starling I hope can limp on and have a few scoots to maintain his value for a few weeks...

I wasn't going to trade this week but Tohu.....

Papy to Tohu pretty tempting. Hes a pro i doubt it takes long for him to play big mins. Id happily take a 45 first up

Some high quality burns hitting the forum this arvo, someone should bundle those up and take a show on the road.

Pretty sure you picked it beforehand Captain Foresight....I remember maybe quoting you when saying I wasn't "feeling it' with Tass

TBH I am doubly glad I didn't go through with that Smith to Tass trade given the spot fires this week, my 'hold trades and wait for the vibe' strategy is all well and good until the red dots start piling up

Id dish it out a bit harder but i was close to taking the punt myself. Just couldnt do it. He looked average/poor irl and Paulo had been hanging around the last two weeks.

Also my rank is shit.

In he comes 

Harris is a easy wait-and-see, ACLs are notoriously difficult to return to form coming back from, most don’t return to normal again until the season after they return to play.

Can do Papy to Meaney and Coates to Tohu, which looks nice.

But perhaps best to give Tohu a week and grab Elliot instead. The likes of Tuilagi to Tohu would then on the cards next week

Meaney not really giving off Hynes 2021 vibes but beggars cant be choosers at the moment.

Didn’t choose Tass last week though. Sorry that’s low from someone ranked as low as I am

This. No way I'm getting Harris after this long lay off without any match fitness.

Bit of a shit tho because he probably pushes Tevaga back to fantasy irrelevance.

I reckon he plays 25 ish on edge and the rest in the middle.

Tohu or Angus

My rank is also shit, and I didn't think it was going to get any better shifting from one ordinary/insecure outside back to another. I was seriously considering getting him in for Smith to get rid of a red dot (although I did like Tuipulotu better but happy with neither)

Also considering going straight to Tohu this week and letting Elliot pass until next week (maybe)

Tofu steaks not very filling so choose the latter

I'm keen on Harris

66 avg last year excluding injury curtailed games, priced at 54-56. I think he'll play big minutes straight up - my recollection of ACLs is players getting straight back into it.

Would mean I play Koula, so probably need to look at the full equation

Something like:
Burton/Manu (Critta move from CTR to WFB) + Ilias 17th
vs
Koula + Harris (Ilias to NPR)

Looks good I think.

Is this true?

I was trying to remember players that came back from one mid-season and look up how they went.

Hodgson has the first week off the interchange (46 mins) then played 80 every week at his usual scoring
Doueihi in 2019 looked ok from a fantasy scoring perspective, given this was at Souths, so not the KMs he'd get at Tigers

Couldn't remember anyone else haha
