What can anyone tell me about Matagi from the Panthers?

I'm looking for a FRF up to 250k

It was never a competition between Eddie and Sisa, was always between Sisa and Rapa and Rapa outperformed him in the trial.

Edit: It also looks like he has a combination/Bromance with BJ so maybe that went in his favour as well

I think Rapa is the best of the three but Sisa has so much experience and can play wing centre and fullback and Edrick Lee I think hes rubbish personally in comparison

I was keen on him but he has main props in front of him and who knows Merrin could spend some time at prop even Taylor comes on

Can someone tell me at what average Kenny Edwards is priced at? ($215k)

Taupau or Merrin or MCooper
Ctr: fergusson vs croker
Frf: ah mau vs Vaughan vs Jtrbo

1. Merrin 2. Taupau 3. Mooper
Ferguson more upside, Croker more reliable
1. JTrbo 2. LAM 3. Vaughan, but it's tight and people on here are in love with LAM.

Benry?

Have him in the centres

My last choice is between:

1) JRey + one of the underwhelming 2 week 130k WFBs as an NPR

or

2) JNik (NPR) + Slater/Gordon

I think option 1 would score me more points over the first few weeks but option 2 would gather more cash. Which to do?

A. Mann
B. CLaw
C. Neither

2. Slater, Gordon, Mansour, Mann, Ferguson fit in that bracket

tigers backrower named on the bench unsure whether he will drop out for Halatau though, personally would dump Buchanon but as we all know, JT is a moron

Are you basing that on their form though or history? Each to their own but I thought EdLee was great at the end of the year and definitely our #1 winger. Waqa started off strong but apparently had some off field drama and it looked like it towards the back half of the year. Rapa was in and out with Injuries and also hot and cold (he sometimes tried toooo hard). I also think Ricky places a lot of importance in combinations and Croker + Eddie works better than Croker + Waqa or Rapa IMO.

Should I just throw MCK in there and hope for the best? This kid is like a unicorn, he's been in fantasy for like 4 years and I still haven't seen him

Current team

CS9 Lichaa
Surgess Grant Evans
Merrin Cartwright Pimple Moeroa
DCE Hastings
Aubo BJ
Teddy Barba Feeney

Last reserve Green but could go Ash Jnik JSaifiti

Don't fight it, Lee is a dud.

Think that's what I'll be doing. Have Fergo already but will probably do option 2 with Gordon - haven't really had eye on byes but only have 8 for Round 12 and don't want to have to do a ridiculous amount of surgery.
