Kahu a drop?

Mahoney stayed on when Smith came on initially, Smith played a bit of hooker last year. Salmon never has

If you think Kahu is a better option than Lawrie/Host (even Jack Bird), then hold the trade.

Thanks for the response Milch. With only 5k ITB, to move Kahu requires a move of someone else too - and I'm not yet sure about Holland/Cook/Arrow, nor have the other cows matured. Host is an option, but I think Sims will boot him shortly and at least Kahu has job security.

TLDR: Yeah, I guess.

Paul Green said that Gavin Cooper isn't far off starting - maybe this week, if not, then next week.

Napa - Lawrie for me.

I am dubious about Lawrie long term, but hopefully K Sims doesn't ruin his fantassoutput when he comes in next week.

Now to spend days thinking of nothing but Capewell - Bateman

Anyone that gets a Dally M point and 22 fantasy points probably isn't going to improve. If you can get someone better, I'd be tempted to do so

Yeah, in that case, Kahu might be the best option, although if a cheapie emerges that does tempt you and has a bit of job security, then might be worth moving on.

Sims might boot Lawrie to the bench, and Host might be safe until Frizell comes back. Hard to say

If WL's rumour is correct McInnes will start instead of Lawrie this week

How Tf is rapana back?

Sometimes this means nothing - but Reece Robson is named at 9 for reserve grade.

He can get 2 Dally M points and 30 in Fantasy

Just do it

why is there no talk about tamou he scored 92 points with one try playing for a side that was starved of possesion and just needs to get 50 points for the next three weeks to rise 122k.
Also last year he averaged 0.97 ppm with only around 40 minutes if he gets those minutes up to around 50 or 60 with merrin and CHN gone he could be a genuine keeper

That Manly pack is god awful. SURELY Kapow gets 60+ this week. I reckon he could do 80 if he wanted. I'd love to put a C on it, but just can't be trusted.

It's out of character for him. Sele was injured, Yeo too. He's unlikely to do so well usually, but you never know.

He's got a long history of being an average fantasy player and isn't cheap enough to take the chance on. He also played more minutes than usual because of injury.

56 tackles in 60 minutes though It could be a new Tamou now that Merrin is gone

Like I said, you never know. But he's usually a 40 avg player, Kikau to come back soon too pushing JFH back to the middle.

Kahu to bird a wasted trade?

Fantasy output can change but I agree, probably best to steer clear until Kikau returns
