I'd lean towards JMK I think. A bit of a lottery

Thompson I reckon, only because I'm thinking of buying Fonua haha

Go Isaako because the Broncos will dominate and you proof Wolf wrong.

Do it Milf, dare you.

By my count I am 5 trades away from my final 17. This will leave me with 11 for the run home and some sideways bye trading. I would normally run with about 5 for the run home so that allows me 6 trades to make up some bye round points. Picking up 40 points in the byes is the same as upgrading someone by 8 points for the last 5 rounds which is very hard to do late in the season.

Only one playing tonight in Sua

5 trades?! Is that with an 18th man?

Starting to go off Lolo this week. Think he may drop a few more dollars.
Think I will sell Kikau and bring in Hipgrave and Fonua. Maybe lolo next week

Getting Harris instead of Taupau is so bloody tempting, but then I know I will end up wanting Taupau next week anyway once I see how butt hurt my round 13 side is.

The other option is get Harris and bypass Taupau altogether by getting Nathan Brown back in next week. That would save 100k or so.

I will be seriously tempted to get Brown in over Taupau next week.

I'm a stickler for past fantasy scores

Taupau, does this every year? Does he break his own fantasy consistency and go above his last 3 year average of 51.5? Currently priced at 62.6 points for a 56.5 average BUT his minutes are great currently which probably saves his sometimes sub 40 scores

I am lol’ing hard at all the Fonua trade ins because I really see him bombing and being dropped again as early as mext week, but I will also lol at myself if he goes big again.

He was dropped for being late to training, don't think he will be late again.

Tigers can only benefit from what he can bring. He will keep that spot all year.

He wasn’t meant to play the round before. Being dropped after a Shit Performance isn’t out of the question.

Well worth the gamble.

The week he went big with his MoM performance he was told mid week he wasn't in the 17 and only got promoted because of injury.

But then Cleary praised his performance post game. If he wasn't late for training he would have played last week.
