Might be lucky and get another week with Niko starting.

Ooh, sounds good to me. I think the Broncos can afford to make sure Hunt is 100% rather than risk him unnecessarily.

Any more updates on Nofo? im one of the 1.7% that own him. Minorities these days......

I just read he's in serious doubt. That's all I've seen. Didn't look good though towards the end of the last game.

Tigers fans are too busy thinking about signing every single off contract player for next year (as well as a few that aren't off contract)

Current players are the least of our concerns.

TLT is just 4 hours away, although I expect him to be named, whether or not he's likely to take the field.

Absolutely no idea what I'm doing this week. Hopefully team lists throw something obvious at me

I don't own him in fantasy but do in supercoach but as the guys said all there is a statement that he's in serious doubt.

Nothing's changed with my trades still going Winterstein to Gallen and Kelly to MWZ leaves 185k in the bank. RD12 I'll go Kaufusi to cheap FR named to play and Hess to any Keeper 2nd/front rower who is playing (Graham/Surgess) in between that or maybe after I'll get my 2nd keeper half. Then I'm almost done just the backs to upgrade

It'd be nice if Niko makes it to 300k. Hopefully another 80mins will get him there.

He'll start losing money when he goes back to the bench but not sure whether to keep or sell because I dont know what sort of a role he'll play through origin. What's everyone else doing?

I also think I might keep McGuire, he'll be right up there with the top scorers this season so at worst he'll be my 18th or 19th man. I save a trade there and instead I'll turn F.Kaufusi into someone bye friendly, or maybe turn him into a set and forget gun so I save a trade there as well.

Doing this may compromise my scores a bit over the byes, but I'll be able to hopefully claw my way back on the home stretch with a strong team and a couple of saved trades.

No need to rush Niko out until he peaks. Might only take a week once he's back on the bench, but hopefully they give Hunt another week.

Not worried about Gal and Origin?

Forgot to post over the weekend, for SMat owners, did anyone else see him pretty much concussed and struggle again after a tackle during the England and Samoa game? He didn't come off, but if it was a club game he definitely would have been taken for a HIA. I may have to give him one more week. If there is another issue, I think he's too much of a liability.

Yeah i saw that. Was barely touched. Its a big worry for him.

Massoud has tweeted "mail" that cody walker will go to fullback with sutton into halves.

That would suggest that adam reynolds is definitely playing.

Probably good for crichton too.

maybe we won't see Fuimaono if AJ goes to the wing with Hunt to centre.

Cam Murray may even get a starting spot if this happens.

Does Cody Walker score better fantasy wise at f/b compared to the halves or vice versa. Thanks.

Rennings to Semi a good trade looking at the byes?

I'd say yes but maybe do it in round 12 to give Semi a couple of games to prove that he's back to his best.

If he has a good week I'll be priced out

Slightly better at five-eighth

Last year averaged 51 from 13 games at five-eighth
Averaged 48.4 from 7 games at fullback.

Everything is close enough to say its pretty much the same either way.

I think he's scored more tries at five-eighth to boost that average? Unless I'm completely wrong but that's what my mind is telling me

Jamal Idris has ruptured his ACL. He's out for the season. Makes him an easy sell I guess but damn I was rooting for him in his comeback.
