He might well still be your best out to make the trades you want, just giving reasons why I'm planning to hold him for the moment.

Probably Koro or Smithies at this stage. Concerned about May when Leniu returns but that's an issue for next week.

Moses is back in 3 to 4 games... i don't think he makes enough cash

I guess Fainu is watchlist rather than buy?

Excellent cover for when all of my Raiders WFB/HLFs have the bye...

Still top of your game

How he scored last week is how he will score moving forward. Don't you know how Fantasy works?!

Pacey's Best wrote:The cash cow I'm interested in is the Warriors Jacob Laban. I was impressed with him in the trials and have been waiting for him to get a starting gig. It says that Kurt Capewell has a throat injury and is out indefinite. Anyone else interested?

If we get anything that indicates he gets a long run he should be in everyone's team, he's a gun.

Zyon is a slow burn possibility as well. He's a beast, it's exactly what the Wahs have been missing from the bench.

Ranking the sub 400

1. WEEKES - byes not the best but was already knocking on Strange’s door before losing their dominant half and fielding an 18yo at fullback. Nice DPP and job security should be ok

2. PIAKURA - bit more expensive if you’re fundraising or cashing out but looks like the edge starting spot is his whenever fit, so if fit, probably needs to be fit (in)

3. ATKINSON - Trindall was not overly impressive which should give him a decent shot at the role no matter how his drug test comes back. Gets a really soft start and introduction to the role against the now worst halves combo in the league.

4. ARMSTRONG - News of Sharpe seemingly having this role in 1-2 weeks is not TOO off-putting given he still gets first crack at the role. The fact this is a long term job opportunity and the Knights have Dolphins, Warriors, Titans and Tigers before their bye appeals as a punt

5. SASAGI - don’t ever really trust this sort of “forward” for any sort of job security, and 39pts in his 80min when it included a try is not great, BUT - CTR/HLF on paper and named to start? He’s an odd one like Plath in the DPP stakes for much less of an outlay.

Others (with weak job security)

- Gray: a lot has been said about his size but he’s a lively likely type. Just can’t see them moving Latrell to centres to make room for him
- Sanders: probably doesn’t have to do much to keep the job. Eels have been poor in this position and with Talagi failing miserably, he could be in with a longer shot at just this week
- Alaimalo: Have been waiting for this rugby convert to get his shot. Was a pre season punt until not named in R2 teams, for a team that has some previous on getting wingers to go large (Nofu vibing)
- Gagai: first start since round 1. His score of 28 included a try so doesn’t excite

[Edit] LABAN - all awaiting a Capewell update. He hasn’t produced off the bench so comes down to job security

Will go to pub tomo. Hopefully Wahs assistant coach is there and can find out if Capewell out a while

Loomer with the scoops!

(Hopefully when Capewell is back Laban just takes Ford spot)

Would Niukore be any risk to starting in the second row? I don’t know how long he is out for

760k to replace him, so could go Grant or Brailey to maintain HOK cover (currently have Egan) however I'm not sure I can turn down Bateman playing 13.

Last year I went iPap over Bateman and he proceeded to rack up monster scores whilst playing 13...

Am I missing something with Bateman's scores? At lock last season he appears to have averaged 43 on footystats

Before he was injured they were starting Ford and Capewell. Ford has been shit, but they seem set on sticking with him

Qld would never have this problem

Theyd go, ok theyre the two best halves, theyre in. And figure it the fuck out from there.

Classic nsw

Absolutely.

Since the beginning of Origin I think.

I didn't even notice Laban. Saw Capewell out and figured they have a bunch of forwards to fill-in there, but looking at that bench, everyone's injured. Bunty out until Rd 12, so Barnett stays in the middle. Niukore out until Rd 14. Capewell and Jazzy both indefinite. Laban could be a safe cow over some of the others.

NSW does the same with fullbacks. Here are all the fullbacks, they are in, will figure out as we go. shit!!
