Would look at Twal over Stefano but looks good (cheaper also)

Yeah, that's a good shout - cheers. Suspect Uto has better JS, but can't deny the love for the try scoring machine that is big Al Twal

I have some concerns about Lussick (or some other hooker) getting enough of a role that Hands doesn't give good Fantasy output

People may disparage Lussick, but Hands is not someone who demands gametime either.

I'm rolling with him, and may regret it. But for now the obvious narrative is that Hands is the best they've got and will get good game time, and Barrett will pick his team accordingly.

At the moment I’m at Jahrome Hughes and that’s about it

Angus plays max 3 games next 6. What has changed this year that we don't talk about ability to score more points due to playing more games or have some people burned too many trades already?

Neither, there must be someone else in your team to trade. And if not just roll with 12.

Milchcow wrote:

Unless he's playing 70 minutes, Hands is not a great scorer. Its possible he'll become a dead spot in your team - not make enough money to sell and not be scoring well enough to play (but still take the field and not useful as loop enabler)

If you think the cash saved is worth it over a more reliable scorer like Mahoney/JMK then go for it.

Disclaimer, I am getting Hands in this week. I want the cash, the score this week, and the hope that he keeps getting enough minutes to be playable, at least for the origin period.
I understand it is not without risk

What about Kelma?

I will personally be trading Crichton out because it makes sense for my team (and I've saved a few trades) but it's not a no brainer for everyone.

Teddy doesn't play 19 anyway

I'm really liking the look of the "should be in origin crew" so targetting Fifita, Teddy, Wighton and Latrell
