    When playing Kennedy in addition to carrying aekins on the npr bench, beware! Kennedy could be a late out for Dugan or sorts. So loop carty or a player from knights tigers titans eels and switch em after for security.

    Nb only required when not playing wfb coverage in playing reserves

    Are people who are getting Katoa playing him or is it just for the money?

    Trades have been harder than I thought they would be this week.

    Levi > Hughes
    Stimson > Katoa

    Short of funds for getting a Cleary/Moses. Hughes getting the love on here and at his price I think he’s worth a punt to become a sneaky keeper. Average of 50 would be lovely
    Katoa obviously the cow of the week and am hoping can match Stimsons scores for 120k less. Big money maker if he can average 40s.

    Leaves 130k in the bank.

    Thoughts guys

    He is definitely a middle. has struggled on an edge in the past but excelled at lock for Redcliffe. I think Bullemor might come on to right edge and Hoppa will move to the middle. Bullemor started edge in the trial when Fifita was in the Allstars.

    Bullemor is still on a development contract so i don't think he is allowed to start over hoppa? I could be wrong there though.

    In his first game of NRL he played 52mins and hit a 43, I feel he will be very close to 80. Let's say 70mins, I feel he will push 50 this week. I am starting him over Stimson, Guler Rudolf and Musgrove confidently.

    Oh bugger! Didn’t notice I had the cash for Fifita!

    Do I bite the bullet and bring in Fifita/Katoa for Levi/Stimson?

    Hughes had a great rd 1, Munster was a bit undercooked.
    I had Hughes in my team at the start of last season and he did serve me well then.
    I think he's a 45 point player so he's a bit undervalued.

    I think Isaako is a 45 point player too, at a cheaper price.

    so LB, my vote goes to Isaako (a captaincy option for some on this forum)

    I don’t think Isaako is anywhere near a 45 average player. Reckon that’s really kind mate

    The KISS principle, obvious move for me is:

    Ese'ese/Musgrove --> Flegler/Katoa

    But I can't get it out of my head that I need to get in D Fifi now. I can do it a few ways

    1. move on Turbo, either playing Kennedy at WFB or bringing in someone like Watkins.
    2. have no FRF cover (JTB or Musgrove starting)

    Both seem like wild chases but I can't quit either idea.

    EDIT: basically in a similar situation to LB but without decent cover

    Getting Fifita means Ill be playing 2 cheapies in the 17 Walters and Katoa. Have opted to bench Mann this week

    Thinking of keeping Williams and Stimson so no Isaako although I do think he's going to keep scoring decent with that pack.

    Would just do 1 trade Musgrove>Katoa instead

    I don't know if it was injury related or not - but exclude the HIA on Elijah Taylor, and the Tigers first sub was bringing Musgrove on For Aloiai, and 2nd sub was bringing Aloiai back on for Musgrove, and Musgrove never came back on.
