Players scoring isn't affected by fantasy ownership. I've done research

I am very worried about this. :-/
Why would anyone bench him?

I was definitely going to play him but my last R is between Mcguire, ET, or RTS/Edwards. I am probably going to leave ET out. Feels wrong man.

Of course he will... but then he'll bust out some 60s and an 80.

because they've got three of Hayne, Tedesco, Dedwards, Munster, Walker, Rapana, T-Turbo, etc --- that they will play over him and have enough reserves elsewhere that are more likely to score well this weekend.
Warriors traditionally don't go well in Perth. RTS's last four scores have included a try.

I agree (Im in the same boat), more of interest to me is the chance smith doesn't play all his remaining games. Surely he gets a rest if/when the Storm lock up first! If that's the case then over the seven game stretch from 20, he'd have to average 10 better than those two per game for it to be worth getting him, unless of course u have a trade in hand to sub him out if he gets a rest...
Im almost tempted to hold off on the Cam upgrade so long as McInnes and Friend are scoring well enough.
Also, Milch and I had a brief chat about this before Smith got rested last round, but it now really seems like Smith's history of playing every game is probably not that reliable to base assumptions on moving forward anymore. He's now been rested twice this season with no obvious sign of injury. It seems age is catching up with him a bit and Bellamy and Smith are being much more careful about preserving him for when it matters. I see no reason why he wont be rested again this year if the Storm are in a position to.
Bellamy admitted not so long ago that Smith was carrying a Sternum injury of some sort. He wasn't specific but did admit it.

CWalker for me.
Can't see BJ getting much in the way of attacking stats against the Cows.

Yeah but everyone is carrying niggles at this stage of the season, its just whether an injury prevents you from playing or not.... Its obviously not bad enough to keep him out of Origin and some other games so to me that suggests they are picking and choosing when he does and doesnt play to protect him as much as they can, not so much to do with an injury dictating terms. No doubt the sternum thing comes into play, even more reason to suggest he will get more time off if the Storm dont need him right!

McGuire or ET for last reserve? Probably ET against the Knights and hope for a try??

My WFB's are Edwards, Munster, RTS and King Guth. With my R's set elsewhere, I have to leave out one of them.
The Warriors have won 1 of their last 12 matches against the Sea Eagles and they've also never won in Perth. Unless those two hoodoos cancel each other out, it's enough of a sign for me to say he's the the one that should be benched.

Benching Leilua is a very ballsy move. May as well sell him since he has the bye in 18 and can't get a run in your squad

It was between Moga or Leilua so I went with the one with the higher value and higher B/E.
Starting LeBrown is the ballsy move.
Hmmmm, maybe I will play Leilua hahaha.

With 5 trades left, I'd be holding Graham and copping your ae as you only have 17 active players anyway.
