Reynolds updated to 38 but it hasn't been updated in fantasy yet.  Brimson got 20 last week in that position so it's a big gamble to play him and beat 38.  Depends which Titans team turn up against Manly.  Lewis should get near 40 pretty comfortably. I'd go him.

I went Fainu to Arrow, but could do Farah to Taupau.

I figured they were much the same, but Fainu getting benched early concerned me

Sorry to be a bugging pain in the ass guys, but any other opinions on this?  Have one vote from Chewie for B.  Thanks!  I'm getting in toruble today at work because I haven't been productive at all with anything casue my heads been wrapped around this hahaha.

Take Option B mate for sure. Let the boys play their DCE's. Focus on the numbers your team can create and the rest will fall in to place.


Wait.. you dont have Hess? Mate! You convinced me to bring him in like it was a no brainer last week

Now starting to worry about my trade,

Would you rather:

Fainu > Arrow

or

Farah > Tauapu

I think both options are an improvement. THe Fainu benching concerned me, But farah would have been rubbish with out one play he scored 15+ pts. Is Fainu benching likely to continue?

The reason I need to make a trade is to bring in a DPP forward for coverage.

I want your opinion on my dilemma, you seem like the wisest man in the world!

Im on the stellas. Im not sure that is wise

Different perspectives are never a bad thing mate.

Should I use my last trade on JFH?

He is my 18th man (and only playing reserve) this week. If anyone else goes down this week I'll be playing short.

Could loop whoever I bring in, or play them and loop Farah

I saw someone say Fainu was only benched due to the sin binning of Hodkinson and somehow that played a part in the coach benching him. No idea if true or not but I am not sure who to play out of him and SJ so I am going to play Tolman, keep Taumalolo and then loop Fainu and SJ.

Who would you get for him?

The thinking was that the sin binning threw out the rotations so Fainu played less minutes due to this.  He was subbed for Hodkko and then he was sin binned.

Him getting benched had nothing to do with the sin binning.

It's strange that Fainu didn't come back on when that happened, who went to hooker?

Fainu's minutes have been pretty solid so I'm hoping he can bang out a good score so I can loop him into my 17.

If he came back on that would have been another interchange.  DCE went to hooker.

Makes sense. I still see him playing 55-60 minutes at least as long as they don't get another sin-binning.

Hokko is fucking trash. Fainu has showed he can go the 80! If i were Barrett i would much prefer another hard hitting forward or even Tom Wright (whichever is the younger one) to give him some minutes and supply some more speed and agility around the ruck off those offloads

I definitely agree but Fainu hasn't even played 10 games yet so they're probably managing him. Not that there's really a point to that since Api is their number 1.
