(insert joke about 'ground/team' which won't be any different).

Hopefully we get to find out tomorrow.

Big call mate.  Tempted to keep him based on your call.  What are you expecting from him this week?

one good option for trade advice is to look at what people think for the community team

Community team has issues in the outside backs, so Katoa not really being considered, but gives you a good idea on who is valued/who should be ditched

And whilst looking at the thread, have a vote yourself

Doesn't matter going C though. You're just gambling who scores more but save a trade

Last week got 80 minutes against Fifita with 7 missed tackles. In his career, he only has 1 other game with more than 4 missed tackles.

This week, he is opposite Stimson and Cowboys will be looking for a big win.

I expect 50-60 is on the cards.

All aboard the Hess Express.

If he gets 55-60 points, I'll change my team name to Hess Express.

Like you I was thinking of ditching Williams just before lockout., but ended up keeping him because wasn't hugely confident on other options (Bryce Cartwright was probably the likely replacement)
without the benefit of hindsight it wasn't easy to find a better way to spend my funds so he managed to stick around

Problem is, how convinced are you that Isaako will continue to outscore Williams? I think Williams will improve and Isakko will regress from round 1 scores. Might be a bit of a sideways trade

Warriors fly in four more players:

If Stimson isn't good enough to play in your 17, trade him to a cheap money maker and use the extra cash in your 17 for points.
