I have FOMO on Tapine, he has played in very trying conditions, hasn't had his old mate JPap supporting him so doing hard early yards.

I think he starts playing 55mins and will be back to his beasty best from this weekend.

Defo 1st on my shortlist if I lose one of Murray/Haas/Carrigan to injury.

Sloan

Pros: Lowest BE, cheapest, reasonable upcoming draw, plays R13 if he sticks around that long.

Cons: Very reliant on attacking stats (sustainable with the Dragons?), base isn't that inspiring (averaging just 99 run meters the first two games), history of low scores with tries (13 and 9 in 80 minutes at FB with tries previously).

Perham

Pros: Stronger base (averaging 180 run metres so far), less reliant on attacking stats scoring 43 without a try against the Storm.

Cons: Doubtful he can make another 150k from here to reach 520ish?

CNK

Pros: Looked great in R1, best fantasy pedigree plays R13, Warriors look much improved this year, lower ownership to help claw my rank back.

Cons: HIA in R2 means he won't make much cash short term, was terrible at FB last year (R1 just a flash in the pan?).

Sloan is probably the play right as a balance between being able to make cash and actually be playable?

Murray is a good option, but I just can't trust him.

Currently getting a glitch where it's giving me the option to trade Doueihi out twice, gotta love FanHub

Grant against tigs, surely goes large

Yeah, he should run amok you would think.  Think Haas is just as good an option though, but we saw him minutes down a little last week so it might be a new trend.  Would have just gotten a solid 50 without that flurry at the end.

I'm surprised Haas was getting more minutes than Carrigan. Probably a work load management throughout the season?

Boyd looked good and still popped out 42 with a HIA, AND the coach brought him back on while running 3 halves in the side, he is 45-55 pts, SJ will be at home, it is very fine but cool over here in Aotearoa this weekend, should be good kicking conditions will point up at 52-59 again I reckon.

Might be a nice ride though, and allow for grabbing Hynes in a few weeks time after Sharks bye.

I’ve been bouncing between SJ and Wakeham for my second trade of the week.
I just don’t think i can go through with it
