If he wasn't a dpp I would probably sell but it's handy to swap him & Gutherson (in my wfb's) around.

Yeah that's been counting for a lot here too. Got Guth also and HHunt, JRoberts and now Kennar DPP. Usually just sit around switching them all about and imagining they're getting dizzy and confused IRL...

Ted misses 4 over Origin doesn't he AB?

How does Tui go at FB, does he usually rack up big RM and TB's? I'm sure I have a vague recollection of his scores being very up and down there.

I have considered selling J. Saifiti but he plays the round 12 game & Blake doesn't. Also as mentioned below he could be gone when DCE returns. If you want a cash out then why not Bateman as he does play round 12 & is 7k cheaper than Blake. Bateman seems to have cornered favour with Ricky & he got 31 minutes game time & although he scored only 24 that did include a missed tackle & penalty so.

If it wasn't for his matai style up and in defense he'd be good. Too many times you see him fly up cause the player to jag back towards the centre, he flings out an arm and slows down the player but drops off. Good for team, bad for fantasy

I think those extra minutes were a direct result of the rest of our pack stinking it up, namely FPN. I don't think he came back on in the 2nd half. I'd like to hope that continues or he gets dropped all together, but I'd be wary of it fantasy wise, think its pretty unlikely giving Stuart has named him to start again.

I haven't been listening to the media about origin selections, but wouldn't Dugan be the FB?

All my reserves play before Monday, so theoretically if DCE does play, I'm not going to have a way to put him in my team, unless I don't play Parcell.

Every time the opposition attack down Fergs edge I close my eyes & think of butterflies. His defence is shocking but I'm hoping with JWH & Cordner back this week he'll get more attacking opportunities as the pack will get better go forwatd.

Question, David Bhana played 64 minutes and made 45 tackles for the Knights on the weekend and is only 153k. What's his job security like?

Who trade out first jsafiti or woods or jniko

I see Alvaro has been named again to start this week. Even when Mannah surely he reatains his spot in the 17 & 1 of Terepo or Wicks drops out. Thoughts.

Ferguson has a high ownership as well with over 25% of teams holding him. hes a tough one because he has good bye coverage after the first origin week.

The worst decision i've made this year is bringing bateman in instead of holland. i thought a 2rf has to score more than a ctr and i fear ive missed the boat on that one. congrats to those that jumped early

I really want to make 0 trades this week, but aitken looks pretty nice after a -5 week and good early byes. but i don't think he is urgent as he may still lose cash this week? anyone be kind enough for a breakeven on him?

It depends on who you want to trade in. Woods wont lose cash but all the cash can be used elsewhere. Saifiti and Niko will surely lose cash so maybe trade them out first if you have enough cash for your trades.

Who knows mate, we had three players go off for concussion testing. Do not use last week as a measuring stick.

Aitken 333k & b/e 66 so he'll be cheaper further down the track so no rush as you say mate.

He was starting to replace Jeremy Smith who has been named to return this week.

Saifiti may play round 12, but no Knights forwards will be playing origin, so it will be from the bench.

I don't think it's worth it to hold him, just for the 20 points he'll get you that week

Thanks Milch, Honeysett.
