Obviously hypothetical but I'm looking at both to free up some cash for fallen gun upgrades
    55 is Tedesco territory

    wild assumption there, too risky for two games i think mate

    Even if Abbey switches to wing I like him, big, rangy looks a bit like Rona, hopefully he can same the same sort of impact

    Is Barnett a must have at this stage? Only 3.8% ownership. Who would be a better alternative at similar or lesser value?

    Effing jebus. I take a couple of days off from all things DT due to a work conference and I come back to complete carnage!! Norman, RTS, Taumalolo...I'll be lucky to field a team this week!!! Do we have word on Norman? Just one week? Or one of those 'just one more week' situations that goes for weeks....

    It could be a problem but he's like a mini Fifita. If he gets 50 mins he'll do well as he has a high work rate.

    I own Wallace but I had Jennings & Abbey as my priorities but now Hess has overtaken Abbey. I just want to see how Abbey goes because it would be typical of Hasler to switch Abbey to the wing even though he's wearing no. 1.

    Yeah that's true, Hasler has a knack doing things like that. I think I'm leaning towards waiting on Abbey, and then focusing on those 3 possible targets

    I know. Forget the numbers. Let's just say he averages more than Abbey in 2 games than Abbey in 4 and they both drop out after 2 and 4 respectively. Just trying to justify both, either, or neither

    RTS failed concussion test so should be back next week.
    Norman has hamstring strain but not serious apparently so should be back next week.
    Taumalolo 2 week suspension.

    For me prioritising Hess over Abbey means I have to start Kelly rather than having him as a npr. So I hope Kelly does his usual try in the first 10 mins.

    Copley to the Titans have any relevance? Is it as simple as Zillman being dropped out, or do we think TRD or Cornish might be bumped?

    I take your point and there is actually nothing to say he doesn't hit 55 (highly doubtful obviously) if he grabs a brace...Seeing a lot of "he will get a game or 2 over Origin" on FB but without injuries he may not. I have gone Abbey at this stage personally.

    for abbey to make 100k in 4 weeks he needs around a 35 avg,
    for 100k in 6 weeks he will need about 30. this goes for any 138k cashie.
    problem is time with him, hopo may also come back early

    hess will need around an avg of 45 to get to 100k profit (150k total) about week 8. problem is role and minutes

    Zillman always seems to get a jersey somehow.

    I'd back Ponga to average more but score less over their respective game span

    I think Abbey can go 25-35 Ponga 25-40

    Abbey can hopefully knock over a few kicks to give him a 4-6 point boost and hit close to 35

    How accurate is "The 5th Tackle"

    They reckon Hopoate will now miss 8-10 weeks. First I've heard of this.
