    Seems reasonable clown

    I got there last week with no Arrow but I don't hold much hope this week with no Smith and a bunch of benchies.

    Fuck. Anyone know why RTS is out? Injury, or something else? Just this week? Or longer? Again, fuck.

    That said, though, Rein or D.Walker, who I will have to bring in now, are just as likely to score about the same as what he’s been dishing up for most of 2018. Sad

    Teeth Eater wrote:Hey chaps, just a bit of a different question to see if someone has some good logic about which way to go here;

    I have J.Leilua, Hiku and D.Walker in my team. Terrible choices aside, who would you play if you had to play two? Leilua is a certainty, so it’s between the other two. I played Walker last week and lost 20 points for that choice.

    At the moment I’ve promoted Hiku but is Walker due a massive score as manly carve up Melbourne? Will he only spend half the game in the halves?

    Or will Hiku our on three tries against the mighty eels?

    Who’s your choice in this rookie dilemma?

    This type of selection choice is a lottery imo, some will emphasize matchups but i think thats overstated sometimes. Hesitant to advise in fear if being blamed for the sub score. Hiku seems the safe pick, whereas Walker would be more exciting to watch. Trade out ?

    Hodkinson isn't even starting this week (although that could well change come final team lists)

    And he didn't unseat Chad Townsend as kicker in his games for the Sharks (Townsend is about on par with DCE for kicking 76% vs 78% for 2018)

    Thanks Revraiser. With RTS our now, I might have to play both of them. Either that or Rein. Even with limited minutes I feel Rein is as likely to score as well as the other two.

    They probably all score about 30 so I should just blind pick any two of them. Smile

    And yep, all tradeouts in the next 2 weeks, but not this week.

    My guess is Fus to fullback with CNK slotting into the wing position.
    Hiku the other obvious choice at the back.

    I don't see CNK slotting straight into the #1 jersey.

    Well I went back to my early thoughts and decided I'll bring Tlolo in. Going with Captain Cook still.

    RTS is out because he's staying in Auckland for the birth of his first child. So not a long term concern, but another man down for me this week.

    I hope Cleary gets through tonight unscathed. Really want to trade him in but definitely waiting a week. Don't want to feel like I should have gone Reynolds.

    I'm assuming that Cleary has been running and cutting for weeks now. He'd have to be 100% for them to even think of putting him out there.
