Havili/Knight/Moale

They aren’t leaving Nicholls or Sele out and Havili has been killing it and the coach likes Knight  for some stupid reason.

Peoples probs starts this week and next but unsure after that. Just don’t be shocked if he’s 18th-19th man by round 14.

Wouldn't Peoples play the same role that Host was playing before he did his shoulder? Souths don't really have any other edge players, and I don't see Arrow playing full games out there

Who is playing Hosts minutes on the EDG then?

if both Kiraz and Peoples end up starting, then I could potentially hold Talakai one more week and give him a chance in his Titans matchup (yes matchups aren't everything I get it)

This would mean that at the cost of whatever money Talakai loses, I get rid of two dead cheapies (Vailea and Billy Smith) and get two guys who seem like they're about to make a lot of money.

Even if Talakai loses 50k this week (so a score of 32), I would still be able to sell at a profit next week (as I bought him before the 100), so I'm considering just eating the cash loss and considering that the cost of clearing out the dead wood

Strangely, the dogs have named averillo and Topine in nsw cup,  who are also named in the nrl starting side.

Possible that kiraz and rfm play in the nrl this week

All the Bulldogs forums mate are saying that and Addo Carr could play FB. If so I’ll flick Tass to Kiraz next week.

Could do but it’s risky mate. Arrow will start at edge when Murray is back. Arrow has had games too where has stayed out on the edge for longer mins than just the 20 and Murray has also had games where has went to an edge for 15mins or so. I think Peoples you’ll get two very good weeks out of then come round 14, 15 and 16 there might be a week where he’s not in the team or he just gets 25-30mins off the bench, he should start in round 17 though.

I’m thinking of fully focusing on round 13 Talakai to Aitken and Schneider to Butcher. Thoughts? Would leave me 329k spare. Then look at Tass to Kiraz next week. I’m keeping Billy Smith for a looping option and the hope he plays round 13. Can then look at Arrow to Tohu in round 13.

Getting Aitken and Butcher gives me 10 for round 13, 11 if Billy Smith plays. Then if I get Tohu and Kiraz I have 12-13 guys for round 13. So attacking this round 13 hard and then not focusing on more than 7-8 guys for round 17.

If I keep solid bank spare it gives me great options come round 14 too like looking at Lolo to Ipap. Ideally I wanna get Haas and Pap back in too.

Also, his brother is better than him and just back from injury on the extended bench.

Even if off the bench shoukd still score well in 45mins.

Not sure what your ultimate plans are for that hoard of cash you’ve been holding on to, but it seems to me it’d be of better use if invested in some guys who’ll score big points consistently ASAP.

Not as conclusive as the Bulldogs NSW cup shenanigans, but no Elliot or Schneider in Raiders ressies. Standard not to name #18 but maybe Schneider could be a legit rest?

Agreed, that's why I'm looking at going 2 cheapies to 2 cheapies and holding Talakai a week - backing him in for a big score and means I don't have to play Tuilagi if I don't want to.

if Kiraz doesn't play then I can't really do it but if he does play (and it seems likely) then I might just punt on Talakai coming good this week (purely a points move, still expecting a cash loss and willing to accept one)

I think I have the firepower to handle 2 more cheapies in my 17 this week covering for Schneider and Elliott, as I have plenty of guns (Cook, Haas, Ipap, Cleary, Munster, Hastings, Hynes and Ponga)

Fair point would if be better to just do Talakai to Ipap and Schneider to Butcher and forget Aitken?

That’s what Ricky says here - https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7741416/flu-stricken-raiders-welcome-back-wighton-and-woolford/?cs=14329

At the same time, doesn’t suggest he’ll be an immediate recall either.

Teeth Eater wrote:Is Barnett getting no attention because he doesn't play R13, or because Mann is due back next week or a mixture of both?

At second row he is about 20 points under priced, while at middle it's closer to 10.

I went cold on him when named at lock as I'm not sure on rotation once Mann gets back

Seems like if he is getting 50-60 middle or 80 on the edge he is significantly under priced

Has Graham ever played lock before?

He spent a lot of time as the ball playing middle last week but don't think it effects McInnes

rhinoceroo wrote:Broken record, but don't expect Dragons McInnis-type scoring in a pack where he doesn't have to do everything, even if he does get the minutes.

I bought with expectations of 60-65 minutes for 50+ points. If Sharks cop an injury early doors he is probably most likely to benefit with extra minutes unless they are running a 4 forward bench

What's the ETA on Nicholls? Does this affect Peoples? I know hes not an edge, but maybe it pushes Arrow out to the edge for longer?

Or does his return just knock off a bench mid?

Im willing to punt that Mcinnes is equal or better than a few of those. I kind of have to because my team/cash gen has been poor.

This is the way I've been going the last few weeks. Due to cash gen being poor I need to gamble on some lower tier keepers exceeding expectations. Cotter in round 4, Teddy in round 7 looking good. BSmith in round 7 not looking good

Grabbed McInnes and Walsh last week, grabbing Robson this week

Might end up with a 17 of "below tier" options come end of season but they will be scoring competitive when the alternative is running someone like Ilias as 15,16,17 if I go with top priced guns

Snatchpato wrote:Probably going to hold trades this week. Just know I'm gunna want some in the bank for r13 and also rounds 14-17. Only 19 left so gotta starting banking at some stage.

Banking trades is important but don't think this is the week to do it unless you have no one to trade out

We have Robson scoring like an under priced keeper while he holds the 80 minute role. Peoples possible cash cow if you don't have too many dodgy ones. Butcher mid range with incredible upside. Wade Graham under priced based on fantasy history but injury risk

If you have significant issues in your team I think this is the week to do something about it
