Not the right week to bring in SJ, is it? Maybe hold out another week. What do you think?

Depends what the rest of your team is.

There is never a "wrong" week to bring in a performing gun

I’m waiting for one low score from him and get him cheaper

I would. SJ without kick metres puts me off him. With the Dragons this week will he get enough attacking stats & with a b/e of 60 he could be cheaper next week if you still want to buy him.

I was looking to bring Sj in this week, With a BE of 60, unless he scores 30, is he really going to drop enough cash for it to be worth waiting?

Already have DCE and Maloney. OS im not desperate. It was him or Burgess. I do think Burgess out scores SJ this week though.

Yeah I am also waiting on SJ. I think a 30-burger is just around the corner. Would have been well under par without his try last week. He certainly has it in him and I would hate to pick him up at current price when he could possibly be 800k in a few weeks. Not that vital to me that I cannot patiently play the waiting game, hell I am waiting 5 weeks to turn Maloney into Cleary Ffs!

After going Lodge>Rein, can't decide between Croker>Mbye (leaves me with DCE and Mbye in the halves) or going nuts with a Rochow>SJ trade. I have Dufty at the back with Ponga and Teddy, so he can either go into a better gun wfb later or with the Mbye trade an easy up to a Cleary/SJ and swap with Mbye hmmm

All of a sudden everyone coming out saying they are looking at trading SJ into there teams this week. Where was this 2 days ago?

Finchy are we playing Manu.

I have been saying this is the week for a while now. its either him or JMK.

Previous thread id say.

I'm surprised SJ is an option at all. His loss of kick metres is a big negative for me.

Who is looking sweet for WFB moving forward? I can shift JMK to my halves this week and I’ll have just under 900k to spend. Is Latrell worth it, as in a keeper? Or are there better options this year? My back five besides Ponga needs fixing (CTR: Kennar Hiku Isaako; WFB: Ponga, Dufty, JMK).

@manlybeaver I'd just be getting a mate to babysit my team if going on holiday. I recently went on holiday with no service and it's a pain in the arse even just remembering your team, thats without going into the cost of running a sat phone for a bloody fantasy football team...

We are playing him.

1 more chance

I think you should definitely focus on bringing in a quality ctr/wfb instead of SJ this week. I think those ctrs are ok for this week but I would want someone other than JMK as your 3rd wfb. Someone like D. Edwards will see a 20-30 point improvement over JMK.

presumably part of his drop in kick metres is that the Warriors are actually doing well this year (hence less need for long kicking out of their own half) - if their attack is stifled by the Dragons, I'd expect SJ to pick up on his KM (though this would obviously be offset by lower attacking stats)

I was very much on the T-Rein at the start of the week but after reading Lone Scouts Q&A and thinking more and more about the fact Brennan is pretty confident that Peats will come back early I am going Gossy and Sua this week. LS was also very confident that S'ua will be 50mins + off the bench and Gossy got 36 in base stats alone last week. With more of a free flowing game will be good to see how he goes.

Also, LS seems pretty adamant that Fifita and Murray wont be playing this week; however, Rabbitohs.com is saying still they are giving him till the last minute

Yep agreed on that. Just splurging my thoughts. I’m not sure who I should target for WFB. Currently traded Latrell in but he’s so in and out of games at times.
