    I have all 4 & I will only be getting rid of JFH.

    Is that because you consider them part of an ideal final 17, or because you don't expect to have the trades/cash for upgrade ho JDB/Taumalolo/Surgess/whiever you don't have.

    Just remember, Kikau and Su'a each got their first big scores for the year playing off the bench.

    Martin is guaranteed* to kill it tonight.

    Nice team Filth. Have you considered playing JMK over Thompson, put Thompson 18th man & put Havili on interchange. I'm backing JMK to outscore Thompson this week if he's at hooker & after last week's effort I think Havili deserves to be in your 17.

    Thanks, mate.

    I'm actually poolhopping this weekend as I have the last few weeks. Switching it up between Havili, JMK and Thompson.
    Currently have Thompson starting, JMK as 18th and Havili as 19th.

    Speaking of final teams

    What are people's opinions on the final team status of
    Kikau
    Fisher-Harris
    Murray
    Faitala-Mariner

    I think due to trades and/or cash I'll end up with at least one of them in my final 17. Possibly more if
    injuries/cash generation doesn't go well over the next month or 2.

    Ideally they'll be swapped out for players like Taumalolo, JTrbo, Sam Burgess and Jack De Belin, but I doubt I'll end up making enough money (and having enough available trades) to swap out all 4.

    Who do people think will be final 17 worthy. I still have hopes Murray will be a keeper if he can be injury free for a while.
    RFM, Kikau, JFH are all serviceable if not ideal, one might end up being 17th/18th man. But looks like they might average just on the wrong side of 50 to be ideal

    Ideally I'll have the trades as I don't see any of those guys I'd choose to keep (unless as an 18th man).

    Murray and RFM are a cut above Kikau and JFH in my eyes though. My team probably won't have a lot of 2RFs at the rate most are scoring now.

    Smith Cook, Macca
    Fifita, Arrow Burgess
    Matterson, Jturbo, Lolo
    SJ, Cleary, DCE
    Random CTR1, Random CTR2
    Ponga, Teddy, TTurbo

    Things can change quickly though.....

    Best laid plans... JFH/Kikau - keep one, trade one? Injuries and suspension will probably dictate which one goes and which one stays.

    Just listened to the NRL Pod cast and noted they said to sell Hiku... it's like they don't watch the games? With SJ and Harris back, plus a decent rest to recover, Warriors will play better, and Warriors right edge will be threatening again. I would advise against trading him if anybody was considering it (I don't own him)

    I stopped watching the fantasy Podcasts, I only listen to the SC ones now even though I don't do SC, because they're just better and know more IMO.

    Also I think I'm gonna play Hiku this week for those reasons @Rapture_NRL

    Not sure what to do with Isaako though. Is he a sell this week? Upgrade or a downgrade?

    That's a good final 17.

    I won't be able to achieve that and will have to make some compromises. Currently have 7/15 (not counting the CTRs)
    Only 18 trades left, so pretty much no wiggle room in bringing in the keepers.

    That's why I'll have to keep one or more of Murray/RFM/Kikau. And/or take a punt on someone like Gallen who has dropped a chunk of cash.

    I actually think Kikau might be the best out of these guys. His 70-80minute scores are 54, 38, 37 (in this game he ended up on the wing for part of it, covering injuries), 66 and 46.
    That's an average of 48.2.

    If you take out that injury covering game (and I presume Peachy takes up that Utility role when Cleary is back, so Kikau probably won't spend too many games covering in the backs) then his ~80minute average jumps to 51, although that's only form a sample size of four games.

    I view Kikau, RFM & Murray as 50 point players & all have attacking ability. I have 144k cash but my trade target is Matterson as he can cover hlf over the ones you mentioned. The JFH trade can wait a few weeks as he will still make cash.

    That's not how I read it. Martin joins bench. He had to join bench to avoid getting cut from 17

    If Martin starts I'm going to grab him for Lodge, if he doesn't I'll either grab a gun(maybe Matterson) or grab watson and have a huge bank next week for 2 rd 13 guns.
