Quick poll - best 2RF in the 650-750k range?

Would go Twal (756K) for his DPP and PPM ability; however, best in that range I would say is Nathan Brown.

Seems to be back to 60-65 minutes a game and playing to his ability. Will average 52+ from here on out and has the ceiling to go 70+.

EDIT: Or in games where Murray starts at lock and seems to play purely lock (not get shifted to an edge (RDs 5-11) he is averaging 57.

All other players the Roosters have not played they've said it's precautionary due to coming off HIA (Teddy) or a niggle (JWH, B/J Moz), and they've been straight back in.

Why go through the effort of saying someone was dropped, then naming them in 21 the following week?

No idea and I had the same thoughts as you. I know a lot of people have said on here that you’re crazy if you think Flanagan was actually dropped and wouldn’t be straight back in. Coaches work in weird ways with mind games etc

Matterson in 2 weeks (Due to price drop)as long as he stays healthy
Tevaga for upside (If he can stay out there longer)
Yeo if he keeps playing 80mins

To answer my own question, I have it as Tevaga, with an eye on Matterson if I can wait two weeks on a trade.

Just curious if I was missing anyone obvious e.g. hadn't considered Yeo.

Matterson in 2 weeks (Due to price drop)as long as he stays healthy - I am waiting for this! Will bring him in next week or the week after when he is around 750K
Tevaga for upside (If he can stay out there longer) - Tevaga is someone who always alludes me. I am just waiting on an injury or his minutes are just too ?? but then goes and pumps out an 80 and I am left egg faces.
Yeo if he keeps playing 80mins - Seems to be back to his 55-65 point scores. I prefer Fifita for 20K more and the higher ceiling.

Does Fifita count ? 768

Not a fan of Brown as a massive POD?

Robinson essentially said last week I never said it was resting which media/Weidler took as writing as Flanagan dropped

I don't think Lam was super impressive last week but then again didn't do anything wrong

I was trading him out before Grant news last week so I hope he's back this week

Young -> CM9 locked in as my first trade. Leaves me with 6.

Tossing up a few variations for a second:

Siro -> Nikorima
HTF -> Cotric for boom/bust potential
Fog -> N Brown
Talau -> Fui to free up some cash
Niu/Randall -> Fui for depth
Pappy -> Brimson to free up some cash

Any of those worth doing, or just hold?

Team:

Spoiler:

I'll forum bet that Flanagan starts at halfback this week.

I love NBrown as a player. I had him twice last year. The second time he got suspended. He's been suspended another two times since this season. It's just an inevitability that he will miss time.

I think Shaun Lane is a bit of a POD option in the mid-600s as well, if you can fluke bringing him in when he jags a couple of tries.

So I have 5 trades left (pre-trades) and almost 300k in the bank.

I want to upgrade Young and see 2 options:
Young > Tapau - gives me front row cover and 150k in the bank, but not that sold on Marty this year
Young > Fifita - Fifita higher ceiling however means that I am running with only 2 props and only 50k in bank

Cook
Hass Carrigan
Murray Yeo Lolo
Cleary Pearce
S.Crichton Talau
Teddy Pap Ponga
Hunt Tevaga Young Starling
Farnworth HTF Randall Wiliame

Round here, usually an avatar for the loser (for a week), of the winners choosing, but i'm open to ideas..

TU: Grant > Dfifi
TD: Grant > Matterson (would wait for matto to drop more)

Too late, you're committed now

Tangentially fantasy related. Yesterday mentioned to Robelgordo I have a dynasty team in NearlySport.

Today I have to make a decision on whether I want to keep Erin Clark or not into next year.
Do people think he will get any sort of decent role in 2021? or should I just cut him loose?

If you are set with only running with 2 second rowers I'd be upgrading Hammer to the best choice you can afford, preferably Moses
Lets you move Starling to 18th man, Farnworth to 19 and gives you another solid scorer
