It will for sure. Im willing to see how it goes this round before trading. He could still play 50-60 minutes and score well. If he doesnt get that many minutes ill trade him next round. I could keep Smithies and trade Lucas this round if i play the value game but im not prepared to do that as my 2rF depth is very poor given Haumole is out too. So im prepared to cop a potential $ loss on Lucas this round before i consider trading him for (most likely) E.Katoa or Nikora. Im willing to keep him if another injury occurs or he gets lots of points/minutes.
If you can afford Fifita, and have the trades to move him back out during Origin (or happy to hold him through) then I'd do it. Katoa probably the best 2RF that won't be Origin affected. Nikora is the other one I have my eye on.
I like Nanai as well, but he'll be Origin impacted.
Nikora is probably a R13 trade in for me, ugly draw the next 3 weeks so I’m staying away for now. Might be trading Angus to Nikora if he gets picked for origin, will miss rounds 13,14 & 16 if picked. Tough hold if he’s around 800k at that time. Nanai is a tough one, you either get 40s or tons haha, gotta get him in when he’s on a run
So Fifita will be leaving the Titans at the end of the season. I think he's actually become underrated has been an absolute weapon the last two seasons. All well and good to say now they can redistribute the capspace for some spine players but I don't see them luring any tbh.
Fifita to the Chooks. Contract said to be 3.3 million for 4 years. Excited as a Chooks fan even though we’re probably the team with the most forward depth in the NRL and really should be focusing on finding backline replacements first and foremost haha
Settled on Papenhuyzen > Drinkwater and RTS > Dom Young
152k ITB for a Trai Fuller upgrade next week to a gun FB via a downgrade or Fermor to Either Armstrong or Faalogo. Major watch on Latrell this week with AJ coming back soon
The NRL needs types like Turbo.................whether you're a Manly supporter or not, the game needs types like him that can ignite a game..............and no one can better than him when he's flying.................bloody tragedy his injury plagued career imho................

Out: Bostock and Strange
In: Nanai and Young
Need a piece of the Cowboys but do not want to trade Turbo nor Walsh (who I acquired a few rounds ago) for Drinkwater. Alternative is Holmes but have currently selected Nanai to pair with Young. View attachment 72723 View attachment 72724
Nothing you can do when guns don’t fire in decent matchups, can only hope your other players pick up the slack & nail your captaincy. Hope Cleary has a big one this week

Haha holding Cleary since round 1 has been a nightmare, 36,73,121, DNP, DNP, BYE, DNP, 51, DNP, 32. All this for only 900k . At least I can safely sell next week.
