Why the urgency on RFM? He's had less than half an hour back on the field after a near career ending injury. I get that he's way underpriced if he gets his full role back but what's the rush?

Rounds 10-13
Get ready to burn those trades cause this is the most important part of the regular season. Every trade you make from 10-13 should play the first bye rounds. Start with those locked in to not play origin like your Islanders, Kiwis and English. The last thing you want is to bring in a player who gets selected for origin out of no where(Chris McQueen cost me 1st overall because of this). Trade break down looks like this ideally – Round 10 2 trades on round 13 cows to start building the bank, round 11 2 trades, 1 on cow one on gun, round 12 2 trades 1 on cow one on gun. By round 12 you should be sitting pretty with 10-13 players for round 13. Round 13 use all 4 trades on 3 guns and 1 cash out with upside. Make sure that you have every single captaincy option this week or 1 wrong decision can ruin all your planning. With the cash out I aim for a guy that has a chance at more than 1 game. This would be a guy like Penisini, Suaali, Hopgood with talent to get an extended run with a good showing. Should have 12 guns and 2-4 cash outs depending on how things shape up. Don’t go over board trying to get 17 as someone like McCullough might outscore 4 centres. If you get this week right you can put 400-600 points on under prepared teams.
Minimum trades used 10, maximum trades used 10. Trades remaining 11-18

Rounds 13-17
By this part of the season most are running low on trades so decide to not worry about the second bye. This is the one I target the most as it’s the last real chance to storm home. If I have managed to saves all my trades and have 18 remaining I’ll be open to sideways trading guns. If I have the lower end with 11 remaining I’ll try to keep the guns. Most important thing is to make a list of the captaincy options for round 17 and get all these guys in. Once again these are the guys that will make or break your bye round, do whatever it takes to get them in. Round 13,14,15,16 will be max trade trying to go with cows and guns where needed. Round 17 if you are going to sideways trade guns this is the time to do it with 4 trades. Trading a round 13 guy to a round 17 guy with the same average could net you an extra 60 points, which makes all the difference at the end of the year. If things have gone poorly for you at the start of the year you will be using your last trade in this round then hanging on for dear life
Minimum trades used 11, maximum trades used 12. Trades remaining 0-6.

Burton - High floor and probably highest ceiling. Should be good for a 40 with the chance at a banner. Opposition will be an under strength Panthers team that probably keeps the damage in check

If you captain a centre or WFB you are dead to me

Robson - 80 minute hooker probably has a smaller range than Burton but higher floor. The conservative captaincy choice

Cotter - If he isn't playing origin he could bust out an 80 in 80 minutes. Should be good for atleast a 50

Koroisau - Will probably be around the origin squad but with Yeo and Cleary gone will steer the ship. Probably breaks my rule but won't be trading him in myself

ACrichton - If he doesn't make origin he is a serious captaincy option. Year on year gun with a very high ceiling. Can also score you a 40

DFifita - If he isn't playing origin and some how fit he should be in the conversation

Tohu - Mr consistent is like a Jarrod Croker that scores twice as well. Need a 50? He will give you 55. Need a 60? He will give you a 55


There is enough high floor high ceiling guys that even the pod captainers have options without going too crazy. If you captain a centre or WFB you are dead to me

No chance Koro is around the origin camp. Didn’t he break Covid protocol by sneaking in a girl

He has 10 tries this year I reckon at least 8 or 9 of them where from kicks. Still good tries but that doesn’t make him a quality second rower. If you look at the rest of his game he isn’t that good. His defence isn’t up to origin standard and he doesn’t get that involved in attack.

If you compare him to Fifita (taking out Fifita’s bench game and Centre game)

Nanai vs Fifita

Average Run Metres
92 vs 127

Average Tackle Breaks
1.5 vs 3.7

Average Missed Tackles
3.3 vs 2.5

Average Errors
0.9 vs 0.5

And one of these player plays in a significantly worse team

Nanai should at least be part of emerging Maroons. He's incredibly skilful, he's only 19 and will bust more tackles when he puts on some size, he's quite elusive with good footwork. His defence is better than you give him credit for. A lot of his missed tackles are him moving up and putting on pressure, half making a tackle that someone else finishes off. Good for real life, bad for fantasy. Fifita doesn't get those missed tackles because he's too lazy to make those pressure plays.  Having said all that, probably a bit early for Nanai.

Edit: Some of his errors have been contesting high balls too. Big difference between an error attempting to score a try off a high ball on the six tackle vs dropping it cold in your own half.

looks good at this stage. team will have a field session today which should give more of an idea.

this from the Broncos on Saturday-

“Adam will continue to build his running load on Monday when the team returns to training, and then transition into skills as the week progresses with a view to carving on Friday night against the Titans.”[/i]
