Bit concerned about having to choose a 17th man from these guys each week.

Should I be or is it something all teams are dealing with?

I don't think many, if any, teams are playing 17 near-guns just yet. Hell, I've got two of your "weak five" in my 17, and two of the others in EMGs.

Inglis, Isaako, and Maloney in my starting 13 with no cover is an ugly sight. Having Mbye/Mitchell DPP in my side and 264k in the bank does give me options, but fuck me if I know what to do.

love him or hate him, Cam Smith is one talented human being. 84 fantasy points followed by a -8 at the masters. Well Done Cam

i can see reynolds dropping out or cwalker to full back

they need him in there

They are up first this week too so that helps!

reynolds had a bad game but first run after injury I think he'll definitely be starting again.

Does CWalker go alright at FB? I can't remember

Yeah, he won't be dropped, as long as he's fit (at the start of the game) they will keep putting him in.

By the way, how bout those Warriors!!!

Surely this is the most unexpected thing all season. No Mannering and somehow these guys have completely u-turned on last season.

Anyone able to pin-point it? The team vibe just looks really good, but thats a given seeing as the are 5-0

But all their new recruits seem to be going great.

Fingers crossed that this is finally our year

i think he does. They'd probably be a more dangerous side with reynolds/douhy in halves and walker at the back

herman -> matterson and croker to JMK this week.

Currently 3453, which I'm surprised at seeing as I was 21,910 in r1

It sounds like they've gone a long way in addressing their offield approach and attitude issues of years gone by, and they're looking super fit. You would think Alex Corvo has had alot to do with it. All of the 2018 gains have improved their side - Blair/Pulu/Paasi/Green/Hiku.

Just a quick note to say thanks for the tips and advice from everyone here. Awesome stuff

So wighton has 9 charges against him and will appear in court on Wednesday. Raiders saying he will be named on Tuesday, but if he's found guilty of a handful of them, you'd think he'd be stood down from this week with a club/nrl punishment to come.

Unless the case ends up being adjourned to a later date, don't know how it will work.

I want Cotric this week but it will leave my 14-17 too weak. Will have to wait.

So, only trade at this point will be Griffin to JFH.

Will see what happens with Doueihi on Tuesday. Will cash him out if benched - slim pickings though.

I've closed Fantasy down so I can do some work today!!

Also, rank number 1 in the Fantasy Fanatics overall ladder

(it wont last)

Thoughts on my team fellas? Was thinking Griffin to Aitken so I don't have play Isaako but that's not as urgent if Kennar is back. Have 18 decent scorers so I could cash out Griffin to then upgrade RFM/Isaako in the next couple of weeks or is that a bit of a luxury trade?

77k bank

Cook
Fifita TPJ

When are we expecting Katoa to be back in the side?

Never. The Holmes at fullback experiment was a failure. Katoa only comes back in if they drop Feki which I don't see happening

Isaako - Fifita (would leave me with no CTR cover)
or
Havili to DCE
(or I guess, Havili - Fifita)

@Rippin and Tearing I know right! They're playing confidently, fighting in defence, and they look like they're having fun! Can't wait to see them play Dragons. Hopefully they both stay undefeated for the match up

@Liverpool_dog Probably the strongest team you could field without Macca. I'd probably relax, maybe bring in JFH for shits and gigs

@danseels1985 Griffin to Aitken is good if he's going to be in your final 17. But like you said, Kennar back means its not urgent. I've gone Griffin to JFH for the money and points
