Out should I just jump up to Graham? Already have Jdb and Fensom.

Friz for that POD. Harris has a risk of being shuffled around to fill up injuries. JTurbo is a solid option but is already owned by a fair few, as is Matulino I believe

Both usually play on the left edge

yeh, thats what i thought. stupid nrl article built up the whole 'taupau vs mau' thing. they wont even be near each other.

I'm taking DeBelin over Mannering due to bye schedule. If Debelin keeps playing 80 he'll match Mannering this year.

I've got Woods and Carter on the chopping block this week but can't decide who to bring in..

I've got 3 options I'm looking at, so any thoughts?

A) Woods/Carter out --> JDB and Tim Grant in..
B) Woods/Carter out --> Jurbo, Mataora in..
C) Woods/Carter out --> Cartwright, Gooper in..

I'm leaning towards option C but A is probably better for byes..

This is my side before trades. (105k in the bank)

Tedesco, Mansour, Barba (Mitchell, Feeney)
Holland, Hunt (Gutherson, Benry)
Milford, Hastings (Taylor, TMM)
Parker, Surgess, Whitehead (Carter, Saifiti, Bhana)
Woods, Evans (Lawrence, Leuluai)
Smith (Parcell)

Definitely not a bad option. JDB has been sniffing at the try line a lot more that Mannering has.

If you're bringing in Carty and Gooper as keepers then great but not worth it if you're going to trading them out again later in the season.

I still don't see Cartwright as a keeper. Cooper maybe a good POD though.

WL has been quiet lately, but he just posted on Weapons that he is serious about getting Matai in. Anyone else here on Weapons I reckon should head over there and give him some friendly banter

Awesome thanks for that, been searching for the past 2 days looking for confirmation he will play

Too much weights, not enough speed work....
Trade him for Jake the muss

I'm back after my self imposed sulk haha. Matai is the most misunderstood soul in modern rugby league & deserves some love.

Matai will go large this weekend and then average 17.5 for the rest of the season.

Matai went large last weekend so he has 1 big game left in him now before the odd 30 and single digits the rest of the way. Great option

Before his 2 try effort he was averaging 11 over the first 5 rounds. That is less than the rookie price average of 15. So essentially according to the Fantasy algorithm, he has contributed less Fantasy wise in those first 5 games then a player who has never actually played NRL before!

Not saying it's terrible as a cash out option, but sometimes you just really want a definitive NPR, not a bloke who could concievably not hit his break even of minus10 this week.

Matai is a no go zone with the AE worries

has it been named who is replacing bird in the titans pack this weekend?

Will Tolman play origin if woods is still out? How many middle men ahead of him?

Tamou
Fifita
Klemmer
Merrin
Gallen...maybe Ryan james?

He must be a shot
