I'd stick with Fifi... I will have a death picnic for him today - but I don't think it will be nearly as effective as last year. Gilbert and Nicholls are plodders that are nothing to write home about. Fifita wont break your season if he scores a little lower but will get you high if he starts well as expected.

DISCLAIMER - I moved Fifita out of my team so I could bring in Cleary - but I also wish I had not have as I was going to Captain HopGood

I'm happy with a basement price half getting 33 in a beaten team.
It was a calculated risk and cost me Doorey (who scored32).
If Hynes returns, straight swap - cost me a trade, no fuss. If Hynes is out for another couple of games, he could bust out a 50.
It's just part of the game.

Spoiler:

The only reason I considered them was for Ese'Ese ruled out with a pec injury. Lemuele on the bench. Only one bench prop... probably means Gilbert plays 55-60, and Nicholls 40+

Stone will play decent minutes as well. More than many are expecting

Which would make you feel worse?

- Stay with Fifi and he lazily plods his way to a 32
- Trade Fifi and have him score a 2 try 94?

2pm and 4pm games all the way

I didn’t get to see any games but watched the Kayo mini (which doesn’t show much) and they were talking Trindall up. The disallowed try off his forward pass would have made his score much more palatable (assuming LBA and TA in lieu of an error). Did he not look good or just the score was a bit of a let down?

You could also just look for the guy standing and applauding.

Yeah not worried about him. If he’s starting again then he’s in my 17

If he’s out, maybe a punt on Soni Luke who will surely get more minutes sooner rather than later

Im thinking of something similar. Have E.Butcher in currently (who I am reluctant to leave out), but he switches for Bird so well and I can replace him with a 250k Blore in play, which may be a slight hit to the points but lets me bench Alamoti next week.

I thought Luke would get 20 odd minutes. Are people saying he'll surely get more because he scored 76th minute try and ended on close to 40pts instead of 20?

Shady2K wrote:

My opinion, but re watched the game and not hard to notice that he is miles ahead of Kenny for their attack. They’d be better off using him like Api last year where he’s injected after 20 minutes after the sting

MF wrote:I wouldn’t be concerned for Tapine. Yes 45 seems underwhelming however those Canberra forwards are not used to the stinking hot weather even Ricky complained about having to be there round 1.

He’ll build his minutes Tapine is someone Ricky wants there all year so he’ll flog the younger ones in games like this.

Plus he only had one offload and one tackle break and still made 40 tackles I think. He’ll be right I wouldn’t be trading him out
