Am I crazy for looking at Hodkinson? 288k could get all of the kick metres now

KNiko worth the "6 week" rental?

Is Tohu Harris at risk of playing centre again soon? Looking at picking him up this week for Jaifiti

Maybe.... but then, looking at byes and thinking about it myself.... maybe I'm crazy too because I'm now also considering it....?

The way I looked at it was that If he does play centre, I'll try to cover him for those weeks and leave him NPR and hopefully it lands me the upside of him getting DPP.....
Ideally he just stays put though and keeps pumping out those big scores.

Depends on how long Waddell plays for. Risky, but I think if Kodi gets 60 mins he could be a great pickup. Definitely keeping my eye on him

Nvm, on closer inspection I don't have the Kahuna's for that.

Yeah me too I've backed outta that

I'm contemplating no trades.. I'll just watch what the knights havles will do. Ash Taylor will play this week and TMM isn't losing any money

Yeah same I'm gonna keep an eye out to see how their halves work....Hodkinson has a BE of 48 so it's not a matter of urgency if you've got 2 halves playing this week.

Have a feeling Waddell starts and plays first 25-30 mins to take the sting out and knik plays around 50 mins. Also those talking hodgkinson big chance he plays origin, it's between him Pearce and jreynolds for the two spots I reckon

thinking i wont trade this week either, auva'a and holland slot straight in for lolo and hunt, hopefully parcell plays so i dont have to use guth or kennar on the bench. with that being said.... what are peoples thoughts on Vunivalu...? inflated average no doubt but still interesting prospect

For those with Mannering... what are you going to do with him?

Hold, could be back round 10 by the looks of it. Three weeks healing should be enough

I'm feeling slightly confident now that he'll remain in the SR with Kennar, Vunivalu and Tonumaipea playing quite well. The news of Tonumaipea and Koroibete being sent for scans has me a little worried, but they've been named, so fingers-crossed. Curtis Scott is listed as a Round 11 return and Cheyse Blair has returned from an injury as per this article from 2 weeks ago.

Have I missed the boat on holland? His average is fantastic for a centre and I'm not interested in the cash that I've missed but I will definitely grab him if he's unlikely to lose his spot.

Have a feeling with Felise Kaufusi being named Harris could be in centres but probably will be Hampton instead. If both tonu and koro then Kenner will shift to wing and more likely Harris is centre

Yep, holding.

Am I stupid for contemplating JWH as a Safiti upgrade via JTurbo? Was putting up very solid numbers last year, is a big POD each and every year, has no origin issues and plays 2 of the bye rounds

Yeah I forgot about Hampton. That gives a little more security until Scott is back at least. Could be dicey this weekend, but hopefully at least one of Koro and Tonu will be fit.

I think Harris still managed a 50 in one game where he shifted between CE and SR, a 35 in another when Scott went down, and a meagre 22 when I captained him and he played the full 80 at CE. Definitely don't want that shit.
