    Sort of depends on how they fit into your team as those three are all a little different imo. On face value I'd probably go Fonua and Harris, but personally I am bringing in Hipgrave this week as it allows me to get Taupau (still torn on spending so big there). I already have Fonua, but don't have Harris.

    Hipgrave's risk is holding the starting 2rf. He played right edge last week but will be on the left this week. James was supposedly considered an edge forward all pre-season by Brennan, who knows if he'll go back to that in a week or two.

    Hipgrave did say on the titans site - "I trained a lot in the back row during the pre-season so it's nothing to me now." - which might point to him staying there longer term, but who knows.

    You can definitely wait a week on Hipgrave though, since he doesn't play 13, and you would still make bulk cash if you didn't get him until 14 (obviously if he is named to start 2rf again in rnd 14).

    Cheers mate. If I get Harris I need to decide which borderline player to get rid of. Havili is my preferred option but the Renegades Q+A has him ranked below all of RFM, Kikau, JFH as urgent trade targets. Havilis minutes freak me out.

    I have all three, I am trading JFH on the premise that Kikau is most capable of a big game, RFM has the best floor of all of them and possible keeper.

    I think that list on Renegades was based on BE. So that changes things a smidge

    Then don't? I would trade out the others sooner and as I said I am trading JFH out first. You wont lose cash if you hold RFM for the year. So no worries there.

    Well who is in charge of your trades? Renegades Q+A or Liverpool_Bulldog?

    Nobody can say for certain what any of those 4 players will do, and all have the capability of making you regret your decision to trade them. Like they always say, you just have to go with your gut. So when you whinge about trading out the wrong guy come Saturday night, at least you know it was your own call.

    In my opinion, Havili and Kikau are the ones most likely to put up a score under 40, so they are gone. RFM and JFH should be able to score more reliably so they can hang around for a few more weeks whilst I get the rest of my team in order.

    I think I'll have RFM all year. In a better team he'd be a captaincy option the way that he plays.

    Agree. Make a call and go with it. I also traded Kikau and Havilli and at this stage keeping JFH and RMF until 17. RFM I see as a boderline keeper and JFH who knows if he tightens up the missed tackles in his first stint of the games.

    The only thing that burns more than a dud trade is a dud trade that you only made because you were following the herd.

    I just thought it was strange that they had RFM at the top of the list, especially when he is more of a keeper. But turns out it was just BEs I think. Business as usual Havili out for Tofu.

    Rein-Arrow Kikau-Fonua leaving 219k and 16 trades.
    Is bringing Arrow in now a decent move? I dont wanna pay overs for Taupau. Matterson and Tohu Harris are probably in next week. So i want to bring a gun in, just not sure if its worth getting Arrow again so early, I just dont want to miss his 70 this week is all.

    Personally think it's a decent risk. Particularly now Kev is leaving next year.

    @ Babou - I like bringing in Arrow but it's pointless bringing in Tohu next week cause he doesn't play.
