Worst fears confirmed for Api Koroisau with the Manly hooker expected to miss at least 6 weeks after undergoing surgery on a syndesmosis injury late last week. Most in the NRL require 8-10wks recovery, but we have seen returns as soon as 6wks (DCE) under the right circumstances.

that's what I wanted for my next big post, which I'm looking for advice on. would make him return at earliest R20/21, that's enough for me

Didn't know that. Thanks mate. Fainu might be an option then.

No worries. I hope he's an option, I traded him in last week haha.

Right I've typed this cunt up 3 times and pressed back on previous web page and lost it all! Fucking dummy!

I've found a way to save myself a trade for the run in and get my top 17 on the field for R17, will have 3 instead of the 2 I originally had

Involves, punting on SJ returning to consistent fantasy form, Moving on Murray and Ponga returning quickly

Would love your thoughts lads and ladies

current best team

Smith
Taupau, Haas
Twal, Trbojevic, Taumalolo
Moses, Watson
Nikora, Bateman
RTS, Tedesco, Ponga

Mahoney
Fifita
Murray
Burns

Robson, Clark, Papy, Dearden
$252,000, 7 trades

Trades for this week

Mahoney - McInnes
Murray - SJ

miraculously leaves me with $252,000 still and 5 trades!
Then for R17 if Ponga returns will go with both trades, if still out, will wait on second trade until he does!

Papy - Fainu
Watson - Cook

On current projections, the Papy - Fainu trade will leave me with approx $230,000 for Watson - Cook. Which should be plenty with Watson set for a cash injection with a half decent score.

In that event will leave me with 3 trades for the run in and this team. I love it because it allows me to keep Burns to cover WFB/CTR. Dearden on return halves, Robson, McInnes handcuff and less said about Clark the better

Help me please!

If I trade Martin and Brimson to Burns and Moga I am left with 430k and 7 trades. Next week I go Watson to TommyTrbo and Xerri to Cook and my team will then be

Cook
Fifita Haas
Murray Lolo SST
Reynolds SJ
Nikora Bateman
Ponga Ted Trbo
Smith Twal Mcinnes Taupau
Fainu Burns Moga Coates

Do it yes? Anyone see anything issues or better advice?

I would suggest to maybe get Tevaga this week but otherwise it looks pretty good

Maybe Tevaga over Burns for the extra rd 16 number
Murray to Klemmer is another option you could look a

Looks good otherwise.
Well done on your patience to hold Reynolds through his injury

Solid AF mate.

Zero interest in Tevaga, too many variables. Fainu much safer pick and I'd back to post a more consistent and better average over Jazz

Plus the extra cash I would spend on Tevaga over Fainu could make my Watson - Cook trade a no go in one swoop

Looks good to me, best case I don't have to spend a trade on Fainu upgrade until R23/24. He will have made a fuck tonne of cash hopefully and i can turn him into anyone for last few rounds

Looks pretry thorough mate. Banking on Watson for a big score is looking like a bit of a hail mary but time will tell.

I don't like trading Mahoney as a lot of people are, he's keeper territory but players have to come in somehow and I traded Fifita so what do I know.

I just don't see Ponga not playing Origin but playing for the Knights 2 days later. That just won't happen. I like the McInnes and SJ trade ins though.

I'm thinking of captaining McInnes.

I'm hoping he can somehow keep the starting spot when Api returns but probably not likely.

Mahoney - McInnes is a no brainer, averaging 7 points more and plays an extra game mate. Fainu will match Mahoney for $150,000 less and allows my other trades

Watson only needs to score 35+ to make more money and makes the Watson - Cook trade in easier (already have the bank for it)

If Ponga doesn't mate will play Watson at the back and bring in Cook, week later

If he doesn't mate he is a 50+ point scorer in the interim and makes Rein cash to allow easy upgrade to another Gun.

Yeah I'm probably captaining McInnes too. Going against the Smith grain

I need to get Smith in and maybe I should just trade Mahoney too instead of trying to get him in a round about way and tearing my team apart more. Probably smart cause I regret trading Fifita.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I'm trading Tevaga in this week. He has averaged 45 points from the bench this year if you exclude the games where he played 14 and 8 minutes.
He is currently starting lock where he will get more minutes which pushes him into elite keeper territory - 81 points in 73 minutes without a single attacking stat on the weekend

There is a possibility that he loses that starting lock spot when Burr gets back but he was one of the warriors best players on the weekend so I wouldn't imagine Kearny wanting to drop him back to the bench. Even if he does go back to the bench, he will still be getting 45 points a game which is alright considering he will be 18th man.

I see a lot of upside; 45-80 point scorer, only 527k and plays round 16

Nothing wrong with keeping Mahoney mate, keeper level 17 scores in a uber consistent scoring position

Just for my team I can get McInnes in who is over on Mahoney and Fainu who should match for a tonne less!

Different story for me as well bro, I've been chasing all year, just outside 2000 now after gaining another 1000 ranks this week, so taking more risks with my trades

I can't afford the risk on Tevaga averaging 45s, he averaged 48 in 60 minutes last season. Not a keeper in 2RF and certainly not hooker

Great player and excellent fantasy prospect playing big minutes, but as I said, for me too many variables in Warriors team and also lack of trades. I prefer Fainu because I don't have to risk my Watson - Cook trade not happening because I spent an extra $30+k on Tevaga over Fainu

How many points are you expecting from Fainu?

Smallest of notes mate but you’d absolutely want Twal or Taupau on your bench. They are ideal DPP forwards for coverage. No shame in starting Fifi

Looking good bud. You’ll have the edge on me in trades left

I’m still contemplating closing eyes for R16 and taking a rank hit Vs go in balls deep, leave me F.A trades left for the run home. The latter is super risky but also prob my only way of maybe winning
