Anyone know if Katoa will be defending Fifita?

Might chuck Katoa in the loop over Host

Pretty sure captain Fifita will be running thru Katoa this weekend

If Walkers dropped what’s the point of 1 or 2 weeks away?

Is that really long enough to work on whatever he needs to work on. Feels like it has to be longer or no point at all? Just seems weird

Other so standard imo, players get dropped and they are guaranteed back either in a week, or a couple more. Someone like Walker will only improve if he is in 1st grade, but I get it,it's a wake up call or a shake to say hey Ur not here as a lock.. standard fair

He may swap side at times to trample over KNik as well just for fun

Yeah just feels a bit weird is all. Im probably gonna grab Manu anyway and hope for the best case scenario.

If there is any truth to the actual full time switch then that changes everything.

Manu has good manna anyway

Yeah just trying to make 3 trades this week for guys that have scored tons in the past haha. It’s my trade criteria for the week

Probably Cheese or Ponga depending on how far you're willing to stretch the definition of 'possible'.

More realistically, take your pick of the bunch of mids priced in the late 500k-early600k range (McInness, Horse, TPJ, JDB, MoFo, NAS, Arrow).

Carty for me. Both very much a hold, wait and see though

Good to see someone jumping on the MBYE train

Carty to Manu for me.

Is Alamoti/Warbrick to Host worth a trade for that 17 spot.

Haha I knew there was someone I was forgetting. Fits the budget as well

Whoops. In that case, definitely Katoa.

No way Carrigan's hitting 60's... 50's are looking tough enough for him atm.

Katoa is one good line away from a good score again

Just on Carrigan, what has happened? Started the year off 65, 63 then followed that with a 51, 57

Last 3 have been 35, 48, 42

Minutes look around the same, tackles around the same (50 tackles in round 1 a bit of an outlier)

Don't really see where the drop is coming from

with the lack of cash downs luckily I had some decent cash in the bank to mini upgrades on 3 guys.

Carrigan to Fifita (10 or so point upgrade with Fifita having the attacking stats plus as H2H Carrigan isnt playing in the 2nd finals)

Carty to B.Smith (actually a downgrade but im hoping similar points or more from here onwards and it gets me Hooker cover and cash for the next move)

Warbrick to Manu (points boost and I can switch Manu into the Centre later on if i pick up a WFB)

Can anyone fault these moves or recommend something better for a H2H player.

Robson
Haas Murray Ford
Fifita Hosking
Cleary Reynolds
Bird Alamoti
Miller Teddy Manu

E.Katoa (Edge)
Preston (Edge)
B.Smith (Hooker/Mid)
ITT (Centre/WFB)

I.Katoa (Half)
Nikorima (Half)
T.Couchman (Mid/Edge)
Tommy T (Centre/WFB)

Tiger game his tackles were way down. The first game of the season his tackles were much higher.

Then it the 2 most recent games v Rounds 2-4

its 0 offloads, TS, TA, LB v 7 points per game from those stats.

There is your -7

Last week he had to move onto an edge late in the game when Riki went off so that prob stopped him getting to 50

I have slipped rank over the past weeks (14k) because I went with a heavy mid + depth strategy. This year is difficult and I finished in the top 500 last year.

This week I’m doing Staggs > Host and Burton to DCE. Right now, I have about 10 for the first bye. I was tempted by Moses but DCE against the Tigers is a no brainer.
