$50,000 if you trade him in this week

Be livid if he doesn’t. Raiders looked decent with an actual hooker out there. Raced away to a lead.

Disappointing despite being one of life’s arseholes, he doesn’t have the balls to drop the likes of a Sezer. Someone called it earlier that it’s unfortunate little Sam will become the scapegoat. Still that doesn’t bode too badly for Havili. He’s a keep for now and until this halves thing is resolved and while ever Garvey is not on interchange

I don't think it's possible for a player to go up 100k in a single week in fantasy.

I was waiting and waiting for Havili to come back on the field because the Titans were running over the top of them, but it never happened until the last 5-6 minutes. It was just confusing how he left a legitimate half at hooker for such a long period while they were getting steamrolled.

Of course its possible, the price per point has gone up by over 60% from last year. Price rises will go up accordingly

Nofo on extended bench hasn’t slowed down the Thompson trading none. I have couple of other bigger priorities than non DPP winger with rubbish fixtures, but good first up performance.

Griffin is the Must for me
Murray is a would have if not for the above
Doueihi is a nice enabler but Williams tempts at his price too. Didn’t realize he was so low.

Likely move:
SST/Katoa to Griffin/Williams (or Doueihi and bank)

Maverick Move:
SST/Croft to Crichton/Doueihi

Thompson's BE was low prior to this round, right? He scored almost 50 more than his BE and only went up 55k. A player would have to beat their BE by a shit ton to go up 100k, right?

Short term cash grab (Doueihi) or longer term position holder (Williams)?

A ton in Fantasy is never shit, unless you don't own the player.

Gotta be Griff @GM.

Going to crank out the lappy login to see if it fixes the bench shuffle/not saving etc.

If he scores 70+ he might go pretty close to 100k in a single round.

What are people's expectations of Kikau.

Last year he averaged 14 as a bench player playing 22 minutes (coincidence? he scored a try in his first game of the year and then never again)
If he replicates that he'll make another $40k or so and then stop.

He really needs to replicate the big minutes he got last weekend (and ideally gran a couple of tries to be useful)

Those of us who panic traded him out last week are regretting it, but will bringing him back in give much benefit.

This is my lot

Smith
SST, Lodge
Merrin, RFM, Arrow
Croft, Carty
Aitken, Kennar
Ted, Walker, Ponga

Cool, Rochow, Griffin, Kikau
Nicholls, Havili, Hiku, Katoa

What would you guys do in this case?

Can see Aloiai making the 17 for the tigers. Could impact rochow continuing to play 80.

You still dont see this year as any different ? Minutes wise i mean

Who kicks for Souths? Walker, Cook or Douehi?

I’m only replacing SST because I have no other easy route to Griffin, already awkwardly price

In your place is honestly save my trades I think. Maybe Hiku in for Kennar this week and maybe 1 move - Katoa to Douehi and bench carty instead of Kikau

Proposed trades this week
Katoa to Thompson
Nicholls to Doueihi
116k in the bank

Smith
Fifita Lodge
Murray Arrow RFM
Croft Cartwright
Mitchell Kennar
Tedesco Ponga Thompson

Cook
Lichaa
Griffin
Kikau

Rochow
Doueihi
Isaako
Croker

Any other suggestions guys?

I’m a massive Kikau fan and owner but agree. The bench and forward depth make him a big first-17 risk when you compare him against the likes of an RMF or even Rochow
