Tough one.

I started with Kiraz and May this season.

Kiraz has a knee injury, went for scans this week.
Panthers are right side dominant, except for the crash ball play to the left EDG, Luai cutting back inside, or passing the cut out ball to Too on the wing. May gets no quality ball in attack.
If Pap is back R14-15 as reported, Faalogo only gets 4-5 games at fullback and doesn't play R13.
Drinkwater looks to be the solid, but expensive keeper play.

.... for the rest of you, as that was presumably the only thing holding me back from winning Fantasy.

Just think Carty is coming back from a rib cartilage injury and they are easing him back in. Wouldn't be shocked if there was a game day switch.

I'm still contemplating picking up Matto though

It wasn't nearly as stacked then as now.

R1 JWH missing
R2 onwards Leniu missing

Whyte started the season getting 15-20 minutes, now demanding 30+ minutes each week on form.

Sandon was on the bench the first couple of games, no risk of getting MID minutes, with Watson killing it in the MID rotation and demanding big minutes now.

No EDGs on the bench this week, compared with last week when all of Tups, Wong and Egan were on the bench.

At the start of the season, they were rotating Tups, Butcher and Wong with limited minutes at EDG each week. Now they have Crichton getting 80 every week.

Terrell isn't scoring 2 tries each week and is most likely getting limited minutes with so many players to get game time. Next chance to get decent minutes is when Collins is playing Origin.

Most sides have too many players out in R14. May seems an easy one to move on well before then.

He helped me get to Hynes so I think that makes it worth doing

Soo get no one?

Kiraz knee does put me off a bit tbh.

While Panthers have seemed to be right side dominant I think the analysis has been done before that over the course of the season these things often come back pretty close to even, ergo there's lots of points coming up for May surely...

In the event you are upset about this, being made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to me. Nice injection of cash, got to take 6 months off work and do what I wanted.

Roosters are setting up Dom Young close to the line. Panthers aren't setting up May close to the line. Would be my preferred pick if you don't need a CTR.

Going to have a big game eventually with 2 or 3 tries and put up a huge score. Roosters are fully fit and firing.

Garrick looks solid.

Can wait for next week and grab Weekes.
