Also, is Tapine 100% in the clear for this week? I read he got a head knock last week.

Cheers

Yes I looked up. 44 avg 5 games previous 2 seasons. 45.66 avg 3 games this season. Some people saying according Warriors might not play 80 on edge even.  Papalii 100k cheaper and probably 80 edge locked but not interested in either. Nuikore at Eels if I want a downgrade next week 341k

Na I don't think so. Will likely get a spell, has looked a little tired/slow in the second row this season, as a Warriors fan I'm a little worried about him. Fantasy wise I don't think he'll become a keeper.. We'll see though.

Damn no olam. Gonna keep my trade then. Will look to move soro out another time.

Is Dragons Leilua a dumb cashout? 91% tackle efficiency in ISP and their biggest metre eater it seems. Was on before Olam

@Loomer he’s a spud

Cheers mate! Surprised at the "might not play 80" part. I wouldn't consider him for this comp, but for another I think he might be a decent option. Will sleep on it

I heard an interview with him. It might be dated now but my impression was that this will likely be his last season.

He's only 31 though. No physical reason I can see why he couldn't go a few more years and be playing decent minutes. I just think he's not mentally in it now. Body and mind probably taken its toll as he dragged the team along for a decade or so

I was adamant SJ all week now I'm getting cold feet after seeing that Storm team....that's all

Olive to Lewis, Harris to Aitken for me this week. Was going to bring in Farah, but with only 1 trade planned next week, I've decided to hold it until next week to assess the options. 8 players this week, which is probably par.

If Holmes drops to the wing with Dugan back next week, I can switch him to Taupau and bring in Farah for Friend to finish my side.

Last minute look at Nicholls stats thinking get him instead of Leilua but can't be bothered. Let it ride

Busy fucking week lads; who seemed to be the popular pick for Tofu trade out please?
