Surely you cannot seriously expect any advice without a team screenshot.

2 weeks? Not long enough for me

1-2 weeks, oh man well that's not worth a trade but then again I'm playing wingers in my backline anyway with Hayne out so I don't know what to do.

Chuck up your team again Dif0 and we can have a look.

For those who don't have Ponga two weeks isn't enough. Even if he may get a run over the Origin period too. However those who started him, must be reasonably happy.

Ponga will be a mass trade in for Renegades types but definitely seems like a waste.

So while we wait for team lists, anyone have any predictions which may surprise this afternoon?

Expecting Dogs to name Morris at FB and Abbey on the wing - but Abbey will probably run out at FB.

Surely Tigers have seen enough of a utility + Idris on the bench and a call will be made one way or the other on who starts at centre.

Idris starting at centre, has too

I think they should go MCK + Idris and bite the bullet on naiqama.

Slight chance Ponga gets moved to the wing when Coote returns?

So it's likely Bowen and ponga get the back line spots?

Or does Bowen already have one and we get another rookie?

Do we think Tyrone Roberts-Davis plays at fullback for the Titans? Tyrone Roberts-NotDavis will probably be needed at hooker. And does TRD come in at base price or do they score him from last week (where he was pretty good and probably racked up 30-40 points if it was being scored)?

Ponga, Feldt, Linnett, Oneill, Bowen seems the likely back 5.

While the Cows are winning games it seems unlikely that Green will change his stance on Ponga in the pecking order.

Expecting Dogs to play it safe with Morris named FB and Abbey in the #18..

I also think two of Reimis Smith, Tyronne Phillips and Marcelo Montoya will get the nod on both wings with Brett Morris at fullback. Abbey named in the 21. Think Des would rather play a rookie wing than a rookie fullback but I could be wrong.

Ponga may only get 1 or 2 games, he might also not score very well. You never know. Dylan Edwards and Robert Jennings are at least guaranteed to make some money after scores of 52 and 48, although their job security isn't too flash either. Depends if you need to play them in your 17 or not.

Hoping Idris finally gets the start, I might need him in my 17 this week as a reserve. Should score 30 if plays 80 minutes.

There is too many injuries and too many rookies increasing in price too early in the season. They are supposed to pop up in week 6/7 when we can cull a few cows that have peaked.

They are going to get murdered either way, they need to run with 3 forwards and the utility which will be either JLJ or JL

I doubt Idris can last 20 minutes let alone 80

oh yeah, forgot there are two spots open in the dogs team.

DWZ is back this week isn't he? Pushes Dylan Edwards out?

Haha, for once Bren's sarcasm radar is playing up.
