Finch wrote:Kaufusi - JWH. Yay or nay? Have Graham, Vaughan + Hoare as my other FRF. Think I would like an extra 40 points this week, just means I'll probably have to trade JWH out again in round 15, however I have just over 20 trades left so that's not really a problem.

Any advice?

Brandon Smith 138k Storm hooker.

Is he ahead of slade griffen or will they share minutes?

Bellamy loves him & was rapping him in an article I read. Plus he said he was very versatile & can play lock as well & that he reminded him of Hinchcliffe. So I don't think Slade has any chance.

As an aside, Hinchcliffe was always massively underrated as a player.

Agreed. For Bellamy to compare Smith to Hinchcliffe says a lot.

Watching the NSW cup and two Warriors went down in a heap in two tackles. Niether looked good.
Then a bears player gets injured in the tackle so time stops.

Really hope this is not indicative of the NRL game :/

Lolohea looking a great package if he goes well at the Tigers.
High BE means we could get a week or two to look at how he fits in there for anyone who wants to bring him in.

Also has HLF/WFB DPP.

Lolohea could be a good round 15 trade in if he goes alright.

I was contemplating this one hooker thing all week and decided against it because I was going to spend all my cash on Surgess. I ended up not going with Surgess because of all the 40s and his average inflated by his occasional HUUUGE scores.

B Smith makes most sense as a handcuff to Cam Smith if you were to do it.

For anyone not aware, Warriors are 1-17 because Lino and Sao are both playing NSW Cup.

Both teams as named.

this killing off a second hooker spots a goer i reckon, posted a couple of times about the idea, must of been missed. i shouldve ditched cook for b smith this week but didnt have enough balls lol. im goin with farah and b smith means i can keep fifita already have graeme vaughn surgess crichton manners lolo gallen and will get jdb next week frf/2rf done.

surgess scores depend on madge resticting him to a edge like he was last night, every week he scores well he plays in the middle (and the wabbits play well), restrict him too an edge his fantasy scores suffer and so do the wabbits

madge is clueless. he'll probably drop musgrove next game, he was their best foward last night
dont even get me started with kearny and kidwell for that matter

Really? Nikorima in 18 comes in, I thought?

The ditching your 2nd hooker doesn't apply if you have smith and McInnes though does it?

Boyce drops out, KNik on the bench in #18.

Niko was named in the "17". Turns out only reason he has the 18 jersey on is they are wearing the 9s jersey and the 14-17 are all way too big for him.

No keep as is. It's only for people like myself who have Cook & because his value has dropped so much the gap between Cook to McInnes is too great. It's a creative alternative to go with an extra gun 2fr like Taumalolo who can match the scores of McInnes.

Ok fair enough,all the best with that strategy I almost fell into the cook trap at the start of the season. Criminal the way they are using him
