Is it still worth flicking him to Ponga??

BE of 40 and score was boosted by a try and LB last week so the discussion to sell him is there.

I'd play Sivo, i can see Okunbor running straight through Rava this week

I'm holding Brown and Burns on the basis of when they do come back they've both got a lot more money to take. Saves me trading out players and back in again. Just hoping that other players are generating the cash in their absence. Basically trying to stagger the money making so that not all cows need to be milked all at once. Smart play or doesn't work like that?

This is my plan. Have Sivo, rava, sele, Xerri making cash now, then when brown and Burns are back hopefully those others are ready to milk and brown and Burns can restart they’re money making

The better news is the bench, just Latimore as a middle there.

Think it’s a near certainty that Friz will go to lock to spell lawrie and let Host/Leilua get their minutes.

So im using Brown to loop this week. So far Garner is my first auto emergency. plays first game of the round. Im hoping he scores well so i can just take his score but if he bombs im left deciding between Lawrie and Okunbor.

Who should i go with?

Yeah tough one. Host already gone for CHT.

Will give me Teddy, Ponga, CNK. Will chuck Edwards down to the EMGs and hope for the best

If you think Gillett on the edge can average 45-50 (and if you don't think that, why did you buy him?), then no need to sell yet

I have the same choice for one week only. Can see Sivo getting carved up by Leipana but he runs the ball back harder and is just more of a threat for a big play than Rava so I'll be going with him anyway.

Lawrie would be the safer pick. Seems to sit comfortably in the 35+ range.

Okunbur looks good so far, but is much more likely to pump out a sub 20 score. Ideally you'd use Okunbur as the loop (doesn't work this week with schedules)

Have found a way to keep Hughes and trade Rava to Ponga instead. Winning

My worry with CHT is that Warriors will get smashed by Souths and the Burgii in particular will line up the rookie. Can't believe I'm saying this but Carty might be.... safer?

Carty probably a safe 25-30.

Thoughts on Garner? Two scores inflated by tries, injury affected in his last two. BE of 28 which is fairly obtainable but if his true average is going to be closer to 29 than 47, he might not make much cash this week.

To get Ponga next week I'm going to have to flick either him or Lawrie, part of me wonders if I should just do it this week.

Garner will reward you mate. I'd say Lawrie for safety

I think I'm holding this week with him not a lock. Might go double cheapie this round. I'll be pondering back and forth no doubt.

Very fair. May need to find another way to get him in. It will involve witchcraft I'm sure

When do we start casting the spell..

Usually players at Lock have a higher fantasy output than those on the edge. Maybe Gillett is broken?

Considering it at this stage

If I ignore the losses I’ve already made on him, (can’t get them back) then a previous gun at 441k doesn’t look thaaaaaaat bad as an option  

Hahahaha that's what I like to hear lol

At what stage in the game does he swap to lock?
