    Sometimes there are good options that just don't get talked about.

    You get what you pay for but Tohu has hardly been talked about at all pre-season or now but was really, really good at the weekend.

    When I saw his score I immediately thought well done Welshy because on the podcast Welshy had him in his team but it turns out you didn't keep him. I ended up going with Ofa & out of all the props our community had discussed Ofa probably got the worst score.
    Gutted mate! Funnily enough I had to move Vaughan to get Edwards and not start Ravalawa! Funny how things work with fantasy

    At this stage of the year role is more important than score IMO. Coin flip decisions like Keighran over Brown(38 points), Fifita over Taupau(27 points) can make a huge difference in the rankings. I would only be trading out players who didn't get the role you expected preseason (Ofa, Napa, Hetherington) or got injured and need to be replaced (Brown, Frizell, Roberts) anything outside of that you are throwing away a preseason of research over one very high scoring round. If you believed in Arrow, Radley, Holland etc preseason then I would be holding. If you just picked them to follow the herd then feel free to burn all your trades by round 17 on the player of the week.

    Yeah all the focus on Bateman but guys like Friend, Morgan, A-Rey, Gillett, RTS, Vaughan, Surgess, Moylan & Hughes all scored well in round 1 & not much talk on them. There has been talk mainly on J. Bateman, Bird, Lawrie & Host.

    I just realised I can go with 1 trade:
    Ofahengaue out - J. Bateman in (via Sele)

    The problem with this is I'll have no frf cover & even though Sele is named to start will the Panthers change their line up pre-game if his arm isn't right. But then I think if there was a doubt on his arm they probably would of named him in the reserves rather than as starting lock.

    Arey is one of interest. Was talking up a bit in preseason as doing exactly what we saw, lots of kick metres and shots at goal. I don't think he will suddenly elevate to a 60 average but has a few big scores in him

    Risk of copping a 0 is too high for me on this one. Would like to see a full game from him before I considered this

    Radley and Twal out
    Lawrie and Bird or Bateman in?

    I feel need to get Bird in this week over Bateman as more likely bigger price rise. Then can do Holland>Bateman following week if Holland looks like a dud

    I need to find some cash in the bank and some early generation fast. Holland to Lawrie gives me both of those and the fact sims isn’t even a lock in but just a “possible” threat could see him stay long term so potential higher scores than Holland and more cash from here. Second trade is Garrick to bird. Bird will give me that cash generation and still has the potential to hit a 50+ with a cheeky try or a few ta’s to Oates. Now I’ve only gone from 94k to 103k, but I’ve got two players who should 1) out score those I traded out and 2) gain more cash to be able to be traded a lot easier later down the track. I would’ve loved to hold holland but it doesn’t benefit my team at the moment. I now have a team full of money makers, bar Sivo, who I am giving another week because I feel he has a better chance of nabbing a big score than Garrick.

    Surely when you picked Holland you knew he had a low score in him? Games of 19 and 28 in 80 minute centre performances last year? Outside of those two games (which I believe is a terrible way to measure players) he averaged 50 in 8 games at centre. That is what CTRs and WFBs do, they balance the low scores with the high scores

    Is Host actually a good option?

    I read in an article that wasn't specific to him, he was quoted as saying 4 weeks

    I thought Ryan Matterson was good over the weekend. Pretty base stat powered 51.

    Always with the wisdom, our boy MS

    Role exactly sums up my interest in Gillett for Radley though with the former for me a pre season question mark that has been answered. I’m a buyer in Gillett the middle.

    Victor for me prob just about survives another week and I thought I faded the biggest risk to his minutes in ‘19 (Butcher). This weeek will know more. 

    Gillett sitting outside in my waiting room. Vic is under the microscope

    Also it seems that all of Taupaus offloads have been entrusted to Sironen. Nice score there from him at 468k

    Im surprised at the lack of Tolman talk... but perhaps most people have him.

    Yeah that's another issue lol we don't talk about getting players we have because we forget our teams aren't the same. But yes, Tolman is cut price, serviceable FRF. I am guessing Napa and Tolman might get a few more minutes because they were beaten without them on the field

    Is having Host and then bringing in Lawrie too much in terms of possible poor job security, or does the potential short-term money making outweigh this risk?
