    I don't think he'd fully drop out, more so meant if he ends up back on the bench. He provides good versatility so at worst I think he'd keep the final bench spot. That said, I wouldn't do this trade if I didn't genuinely believe he can nail down the centre spot.

    They would not have put him there last week if they didn't think he was a good option there (they would have just had Anderson there and Fa'alogo on the wing)
    So you think if Reimis plays Anderson drops out?

    Isn’t your best backline…

    hopefully plays some prop too.

    Hopefully the hybrid role includes clubs too and can jump back to Manly to help them out in 19. Seems only fair.

    lol, I own Grant but not Cotter and missed the Grant exclusion. Random H2H issues has me hoping both get a rest this weekend, though. 😬

    Would love to see Weekes get the hybrid running fullback, primary kicker role that Latrell has.

    Weekes's fantasy average at fullback is pretty poor. And he'll only do less kicking than what he is currently doing at halfback. Even if Cook gets the spot for a few weeks and doesn't do much, certainly when Fogarty returns he'll resume bulk kicking duties

    Weekes is pretty much in best possible Fantasy position at the moment, any change to his role will not be good for his scoring

    Yeah probably.

    Our best backline would be what you posted but with Howarth instead of Meaney at centre.

    Meaney has been a defensive liability all season, and that edge has been getting destroyed almost every week. 3 of the 4 tries from the Phins last week were right through him.

    Both Papy and Fa'alogo can kick goals so we don't need Meaney for that.

    One New Zealand Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson has been sidelined for four to six weeks with an ongoing Achilles tendon complaint medically referred to as chronic Achilles tendinopathy. https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2024/06/25/maxigesic-recovery-report-johnson-sidelined/

    Weeks seems like a different player to what he was like at Manly last year. I'd be happy to see how it plays out, especially since every competitive team has him. Maybe a round 19 trade if it comes down to it.

    Croker was the last Raider who possessed the same acceleration as Weekes.

    Acceleration looks decent enough.

    He actually did that a couple of other times (the line break that is not the try) during that game.

    I don't think there's any major rush to get him out this week, unless he forms part of a grand plan.
