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.

I have Faufusi and CHN in my 13

At the moment I'm trading Yates to Surgess. If Sione is out and Yates comes into the team is there anyone else out of the following worth trading out instead?

Faufusi, Stone, Musgrove (unfortunately I have Sione in CTR)

Alternatively, I could skip Surgess and upgrade Brailey, but for who? Cook? Luke? McInnes?

Current team for the weekend

Smith (McInnes)
Fifita, Faufusi (Ese'ese)
Surgess, Whitehead, CHN (Hess, BT)
Johnson, Lamb
Talakai, RJennings
Tedesco, RTS, Cotric

Was thinking the same but might not know until after Raiders play.

I'm bringing in a pod frf this week averaging over 55 mins last 2 games

Tolman?

Nathan Brown, Martin Taupau, Frank Pritchard?

I mean there are some other players with those minutes scoring low 30s or less but I don't know if you would bring them in

Was playing the guessing game and he averages 55.5 but thought I would cover the other bases haha.

Tolman does what it says on the box, 60 minutes, 45-48 points average every year. Graham minus the attacking stats

It's taupau his offloading a lot more now still tackle breaking plus this year with less dpp there not many gun front rowers to choose from

The fact that you mention his minutes but not his scores, suggests to me his scores might not be all that great

Also Idris played 71 minutes because he got knocked out making a tackle, went off straight away for HIA.

I'm just going to trade by process of elimination. For me, Elgey, Frankenstein, Suli, Kelly have all peaked or have 10-20K left.

Fawley, Idris, Dylan Edwards, GGM all options this week. Will leave $250K plus for upgrades next week.

For us non Idris owners, by him going off with HIA and getting no ball in second half meant his price didn't go up too much.

Fair enough and not a bad option, averages around 60 mins these days and priced around his average.
3% ownership though is alright as you say and has potential to smash out a big score, though that goes both ways

Currently got Ese'ese as my fourth reserve although I would rather play Yates if he makes his way into the 17.

Unfortunately, Broncos play before Knights. :-/

My other fourth ace options are: Suli, MCK, Elgey and Moga.

With no Arrow you would think Ese'ese should get 30 points, not much difference for what Yates will get anyway.

going to go brailey > hampton. can't afford a second gun hooker yet. think kpritch is sideways, cook uncertain.
not like i was playing brailey anway so may as well have someone making money instead, and hope that granville takes a while to heal.

another problem is talakai and moga still in my team. can't find anyone to cash them out for in the ctrs. so saving a trade this week seems likely

Kieran Foran, Shaun Johnson, Jacob Lillyman, Bodene Thompson, Ben Matulino & Jazz Tevaga among @NZWarriors restricted training group today.

Might go Kelly to Rapana via TTrbo. Plays r12, no Origin, killing it. POD that is close enough to Teddy to ease the pain of not being able to afford him?

Don't do it mate, pick Cook and you won't be disappointed. I'm gutted I didn't start with Brailey for the fact I can't jump on guys like Cook who will make quick money at hooker and be scoring 50's.
There is no way Hampton plays 80, and being a starting Hooker all he will do is give the ball to Thurston, he is no longer a guy coming on for impact and spark and will struggle to score 30 and make more than $50K in the next 3/4 games given his last 3 scores are 15,12 and 9. Averaging 14 in 30 minutes, if he gets 60 minutes I think he scores around 25 points.
