How does RTS get dual when The Wahs are doing all they can to not play him at FB?

Does the Carty Party roll on?

I'm not sure why the massive cold feet on Luki

If he plays 50 minutes, there's clear value there, and Finefeuiaki averaged 26 minutes off the bench.

Nothing has changed today that wasn't expected when you decided to get him

I think Luki will get around 55mins I’m trying to decide whether I go Smithies or Luki

Luki averages 38 in 55 mins, so pretty much priced accordingly. I was hoping he'd step up to 60-80 mins, but not confident enough to keep him around. I figured he'd make way for Curran or Blore, but now I think I'll just cash him out and either grab Hopgood for Cotter/Fogarty or save the bank for next week and see what happens with Wong, Sitili and Piakura.

He got a week off his suspension? Has he now signed with the Roosters now?

I'm backing Chan in. Not sure why we'd assume the guy who was on the bench for the wooden spooners would inevitably move ahead of him at some stage

Similarly in hindsight is it that surprising Salmon is ahead of Curran? Last season Hopgood went from reserve grade to fantasy superstar by changing clubs. Salmon is no Hopgood but he was entrusted with an important bench role at Panthers. Curran is a guy who fell down the pecking order at the Warriors.

See also Avo - looked good in a bad team. Now he's at an average team, that team has him behind a couple of guys on the fringes from last season.

Epic drive-by on both Wests and the Bulldogs. Two for one. Dragons must be feeling confident of 15th.

A) Hopgood + some 230K (VFifita) in 18-21 + 30K
Or
B) Elliot/Cotter + Luki in 14-17 + 23K
Or
C) Elliot/Cotter + Flanno in 18-21 + 172K

I'm looking at something similar, really want Hopgood but I have to take a 230k which leaves one of VFifita (a few Dragons to come back) or Galvin (is he anywhere near the Tigers 17).

Think I’m just gonna take the punt on Luki. Team balance is much better. Have Haas already so Hopgood becomes the target, plus he surely plays origin this year.

Luki another year older, another pre season in him, surely still sees around 55-60 minutes. Cowboys surely a big improver this year so hoping for some more attacking stats. Upside - he pushing 40-45 makes a slow $100K and jump off around origin, Downside - roller coaster scores while putting out other fires and hope for an early high score and ride some cash rises.

What's your thoughts on Carty?

A) Grant + Luki + Penisini or
B) Robson + Hopgood + sub 400k DPP CTW FB.
Comment -Moses down to Fog and pretty much any of the above.

Who is Hopgood going to replace in the origin side. Once you are picked for Qld you pretty much have to retire or die to get out! Unless you’re Edrick Lee.

No value and think he will be a tier below Hopgood, DFifita, Bateman for best averaging EDG.

I’m risking Galvin. We are currently in 9th, but I think we have peaked a tad early. He was by far best on field in that trial and even if not selected for Rd 2, after a few hidings he’ll be starting before long. Galvin is only 18 so I very much doubt he starts at 6, although Canberra is probably the team to do it I suppose. Benji loves him too! I think Galvin plays 14 as Koro should play 80 to start the season.

Gonna take a risk and go no clearly and death ride him and pick him up after the bye hopefully. Captain Haas can match him hoefully

Great call actually. Would need to source 10k for Robson but should be doable somewhere along the lines. I was tossing up Tanah Boyd as an option too but I'm now seeing titans have the bye next week so it's the same issue with Levi either way

Same here, was looking at Egan if levi scores well. They have lussick on the bench although can't see him playing every week. I tried filtering games They played together although it seemed spoiled as he was 18th man sometimes


Jazz or walker could always spell/cover hia so could be a GameDay exclusion

I have 230k exactly for my last pick so I can fit in Harry Grant. Best option if any at 230k? Any of the Fainu brothers potentially getting a run?
