Cause he has been shit and a waste of a bench spot. Gurgess in for Robbie would be the situation this week you'd think, or if Robbie is fit than Cherrington would be the one to go. Looks like Angus has grabbed a permanent spot in the 17 and Musgrove ain't going anywhere.

A number of local journo's reporting (confirming) that Kodi Niko will come into the 17 for the Broncos. Jai Arrow back to Q CUP. James Roberts has also been passed fit.

So this could be good for Mcguire minutes though I'm not sure he's capable of playing much more

How could bringing in KBrom for Kaufusi be an upgrade when Kaufusi averages more??

I am assuming he meant JBrom.

True, but Kaufusi still averaging more than him too at this stage. A try for Kaufusi would be great get get his BE down again.

Did he? Looked like was talking about getting 2RF. Why would you get Jbrom anyway. He's not Fifi. Sometimes former semi guns turn into mid rangers

Straight forward for me this week.

Brailey - McInnes
Yates - 138k nuffie

Probably money left in Yates but I'm ready to hop off the Brailey train and take this big influx of points that will come from Brailey to McInnes.

Leaves me with

Cam, McInnes
Fifita, Wallace, Faufusi, Papalii
JDB, Mannering, Sironen, CNH, Stone, Sele
SJ, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
Turbo, Smat, Idris, Kelly
RTS, Slater, Cotric, Ponga, Abbey

Next week cull someone like Kelly to start looking at an upgrade on Lamb.

If Frawley starts, will anyone seriously consider bringing him in... and for who?

My option is getting rid of Kelgey for him. Dogs against the Knights too so Frawley could go well whereas Titans play the Raiders.

Elgey of course. His BE is somewhat attainable but if Frawley plays he'll make a lot more cash plus I'm expecting a big missed tackle count for Elgey against the Raiders. Junior Paulo's going to be running at him all day

Not sure if anyone noticed but Idris has swapped sides this week (Inside Nofoaluma)
With the tendency to go that way with most of their attack, and Moses out there I can imagine Idris getting plenty of ball this week.
Think I will bring him back, downgrade Suli, pocket the cash and he can slot in to CTR if Smat doesn't play

and if Frawley doesn't start, what will you do with Elgey? Sounds like you're expecting him to miss his BE and start losing cash...

Also on this Faufusi talk, unless something drastic happens I'll be holding him until Harris is back.

Same here.

If Faufusi is your main concern then you must have a pretty stacked team and be in great stead for the season.

Nice pickup. He'll go in for SMat for me also, which I'm fully expecting.

idris did have a quiet second half. i believe he was on 22 at h/t which makes it 8 points in the second half.
in saying that he can tb freely if given enough space

Tigers backs wearing the same jersey numbers they wore last week.

I'd expect Naiqama to stay right side and Idris on the left.

Take a punt on Hampton maybe. I'll run it by the Fantasy Q and A on NRL.com today. Guth gives me flexibility too if there's anybody worth trading in at WFB

Ahh fair enough, perhaps i was looking into it too much. Considering the downgrades available in the CTR/WFB position, Idris is probably the best of the bunch and has a BE of 7.

Hampton could backfire in so many ways one of them being Thompson returning from injury

3 reserves out of Bodene, FKaufusi, CHN, Musgrove

Currently Musgrove missing out.

If there is bad news on Bodene I might end up swapping to Whitehead. Probably jumped the gun bringing him in last week, but we'll see how it goes.
