    2k short of being able to go Pat to Pap Mad, would've made that trade in a heartbeat

    if I had any trades left, I'd 100% be getting Paps in for Burns.

    As it stands now, I just have to pray that Ponga and Wighton do well.

    As for captains, the logical choice is Teddy considering his recent form but I'm seriously considering McInnes again as a POD captain. Thoughts?

    I have two trades. I am thinking about possibly going Burns to Cotric for 19th man insurance and freeing up 130k to upgrade someone else. Most likely Reynolds to DCE because he is really shitting me

    I know it seems ominous the Pap has secured the role, but what happens if Croft does get another shot at 7?

    Thoughts on getting Papenhuyzen instead of Fifita?

    Papenhuyzen averages 66.5 when playing 80 minutes
    From his 4 games in reserve grade this year, he has a PPM of 0.657 which converts to 52.6 points across 80 minutes
    He has a PPM of 0.856 when playing above 40 minutes which converts to 68.5 points across 80 minutes

    Fifita's minutes are also being limited at the moment. In his past 3 games, his minutes have been between 40 and 50 minutes.
    At his current PPM, 40 minutes would equate to 43.1 points whilst 50 minutes would equate to 53.9 points.

    Who are you selling to do this trade?

    If you can, wait until the final Storm team lists drop to ensure he's not benched.

    The concern for me would be you just don’t know what Bellyache will do, he could bring Croft back next week, it sure is risky.

    Do you have must win head to head prelim match this round? If so I’d go with a safer choice unless you don’t look like winning and need to pull off a win from behind.

    I’m in a prelim and the guy I’m versing and the guy I could verse in the GF they have Lolo and I currently don’t, so I have to bring Lolo back in as I’m confident he will play the last two games and as we know can go big, even if he scores a 55 I’m happy with that, whereas Arrow hasn’t been as good as I thought since coming back.

    In other games Croft has gone off (went off with HIA against Warriors), Hughes dominated and Smith provided major playmaker as he usually does, however against Titans, Storm's organisation was shit

    As much as Croft cops (mainly from Storm fans) he's literally there to do just do a small job of kicking around the park. Jason Ryles said pre-game that Croft wasn't playing for both resting because he'd played every game and as a test to see a plan if he goes down

    Still up in the air, but Papenhuyzen shines each time he plays 80

    Yeah Paps would be risky. Storm have just named a squad, I haven't checked but probably the same as last week. Croft is in that squad, the jury is out on whether he was rested or dropped. You won't know for sure until Saturday I'd say. Keep an eye on the news. If you're trading Burns for example it's tricky, if it's say, Twal, then you can comfortably wait for Saturday team lists.

    Thanks guys

    If Papenhuyzen was to play both games, would he be a better option than Fifita?

    Generally it's their average multiplied by a magic number, less an increasing discount for how many games under 10 they've played. There are some quirks though, this year they seemed to build in a plus or minus 1-2% for some reason. Also pricing for guys coming over from super league seem to be a lottery. Also guys coming back from a long injury lay-off sometimes get some random loading, but yeah generally it's average multiplied by the magic number.

    And then there was Drickwater's ridiculous starting price that came after one game last year I think.

    I'm really not sure

    Fifita for the first time in ages had no strapping on his knee so might be bake to his sideways running best with loads of TBs but is facing stingier defences than the Warriors. Papenhuyzen if starting would likely rack up a score v Cowboys with their issues around the ruck but may be contained more against Manly

    It's weird with Pap, as last year Bellamy literally did the reverse with Croft and brought him in at HB for final few games, and played him in finals where he had great game in qualifying final.

    Gee I dunno about that. Pappy is certainly capable of the boom score. So if you're chasing and it gives you a point of difference on who you're chasing and have a large gap to close maybe. But Fifita has the long standing fantasy pedigree and in a much more reliable scoring position and he looks hungry again, he's the safer bet. Basically, if your opponent doesn't have Fifita, I'd get Fifita.

    I don't have trades but I watched Fifita fairly closely last week, and I want him back!
