He's eligible for games 1+3. No suggestion they'll pick him though

Thanks mate, be tough to look past him after last few weeks! Shouldering the load with Gal

Welch to Brimson and Soro to Harris seem like good business ?

Tohu is great value at the moment. I didn't watch Brimson in his debut but everyone saying he had a lot of "almosts".

Yep, just read that as I posted. I’m at a crossroads in trading out RFM. Or Kikau or JFH tbh.

Me too with those 3. Before team lists and injury news it was going to be JFH out this week for me. Now it's either Kikau or RFM.
Keeping RFM means I will have to play JMK on my bench this week. Not sure it's worth it if I probably wasn't keeping RFM long term anyway.
Wish I knew how much Kikau was going to score this week!

Alot of negativity there towards massoud.... goodluck to leutele if true, he's been a silent solid for a few years.
There were strong rumours last year he was off to the Titans and that didnt eventuate. Bit odd we let Ramien go and leutele though.

He was almost off to Titans to be close to family, now instead he's off to Canada? Never would have picked it. Good on him for getting a big payday though. He deserves it. I've always thought he was very underrated.

Arrow, Matterson, A. Crichton or Surgess

Cheers

I'd wait on origin selections for Arrow and Crichton

If you are in a rush to grab one now

Arrow
Crichton
Surgess/Matterson

In that order without taking origin into consideration or R13

I'd prob take Crichton if worried and R13 if he doesn't go to origin

Bring on some footy! Predicting not the greatest game for viewing tonight but am over this week already and need a footy fix!

I think Crichton will only get picked if he has two games like last week, which I will be happy to cop.

Bump on my McCollough post. Still worth bringing in despite the origin news? Have Cam + Cook aswell though..

Thanks mate. Yeah every time I watch Arrow play he looks like scoring at least 60 points his work rate is so high.

What's the rest of your team look like badger?

I'm not sure tbh mate but he'll be a no for me for the time being. I don't really see the necessity of him either with who you have.

Fraser wrote:What's the rest of your team look like badger?

Cook
Fifi Arrow
Kikau Lolo JFH
DCE Maloney
Isaako GI
Teddy Ponga Thompson

Havili Rein Martin TPJ
RFM CS9 Cogger Griffin

Maloney - Lamb
Griffin - McCullough.

Bring in Cleary next week for Rein is the plan. Or a FRF/2RF gun more suitable instead

Lamb cash train but Lolo looks too good.

Already have Burgess, Harris and Murray. Lamb also leaves me with no wfb cover

Now I'm considering JTurbo+Brimson with that low BE... screw bye planning

Without doing the quick maths, getting a player of the caliber of Crichton/Surgess in for R13 and waiting on Arrow potentially missing the origin cut is wise because that extra round Arrow will miss you get extra points from the R13 until end of season, just get Arrow in after

Thanks for the advice Mearcats, i'll have a look at a few other options!

Kikau is still on the bench. Dang it. I have no idea what to do this week

Macca will def be in my final 17, origin news is a pain because of a potential 55+ points being missed for R17

His injury affected scores have shaved 5 points off his average

He is currently at a great price

At least he is still playing I thought the bench move was to protect his injury last week, I thought he was a good chance to miss this week

Thoughts on him or someone like Crichton for this week?
