In the end I went with;
Koroisau
Hale (B)
Olakau'atu
DCE (B)
Kelly
Pelite

Loading up on players that were playing both Tigers teams seemed to work well (pity I never even remotely considered Koula). It was nice to have turned things around this week.

Wow, unreal mate.

Taufa over Hale was a tough watch this week.

Not too unhappy with the rest of it.

I probably need three more weeks of good fortune to catch up to you, but at least I'm heading the right direction now

Brilliant round mate. I went backwards fast from rank 9 to 54 only got 449.

McInnes
Taufa (B)
Fifita (B)
DCE
Kelly
Berry

This week is interesting. Who do we play at EDG?

Pio played almost 70, but I think she was playing on the edge, not in the middle so her PPM was down a bit. Made a lot of metres, but missed a bunch of tackles, the pass she threw for the Tigers try was beautiful.

The men options at EDG are Harris, who is in a bit of doubt? But should be fine. Outside of that Young, Sorensen, Nikora, EKat, Martin?

But then assuming you have Kelly at CTR and Berry/Pelite/Upton/Tonegato at WFB. McInnes/Grant at HOK. Cleary/Hynes HLF.

If you go for Pio you have to play a Men MID? Or Gagai over Kelly?

Frizell and Fitzgibbon are probably the best men EDGs behind Tohu

Roosters v Knights NRLW might also be a good chance to pivot

Ah of course, the lethal Frizgibbon combo. Will have a look.

Anyone going Ponga in Mixer?

Fressard
Pelite

I might risk it and go Gagai and Pelite. No Kelly am I mad?

That's who I'm on at the moment.

Although I tend to pick a team Monday/Tuesday and then change it Friday

How’s your rank looking mate?

I was 9th the other week had a bad week last week dropped to 54th went Taufa over Hale and boosted Fifita over DCE.

Anyway we go again this week. Still a month of it left. I’d love a top 25 finish that’s the goal.

24th (identical to my final NRL Fantasy rank haha)

Finished top 10 last year, so hoping I can fluke my way back there, but I really haven't had a great start and it's just last week that launched me back into an outside chance of competing for something

That’s very good mate you’re on fire.

I began the round in 5th place, currently in 6th but managed to avoid Tegan Berry. Currently; McInnes, Hale (c), Pio, Cleary (c), Kelly, Ponga

I’m tossing up between the Pio (48 average ability to go low 40s and above 60) and Ponga (high chance of going above 60) with Tohu Harris or another second rower (chance of going mid 40s with chance of going mid 50s or higher) and pelite (around 50? Who knows)

I’ve talked myself into Pio and Ponga with Pio posessing equal ability to match the men and Ponga having higher likelyhood to produce a score above 60 than the remaining women’s WFBs.

My current goal is to, reliably, score as many points each week consistently given the luxury of a high ranking. However, I’m curious as to how others are approaching the WFB/EDG dilemma and what PODs they are selecting to differ from the cookie cutter Mcinnes, Hale, ?, Cleary, Kelly, ?, teams.

Last 2 games Pio played longer mins because Apps failed HIA 2 weeks ago and then played EDG with Apps out

I think men EDG this week with Tohu, Frizell, Fitzgibbon options although take my comments with a grain of salt because I’m back in 700s ranking due to late withdrawals and injury in R1 and R2

Pelite / Frizell for me.

I wish I'd stuck to my guns on Tonegato, but here we are.

Aaand Harry Grant 10 missed tackles, 2 errors for 19. Oooof.

That might be me out of the top 10.

It's hard to say, it could just be that type of week for everyone, with finals making the Men's averages not count for as much.

I also see in the NRLW that popular edge Christian Pio only managed a 27, and Teagan Berry a 20.

I picked Grant, E Katoa and Berry in my Mixer team, you're all welcome
