Fifita missing Origin. That’s not something I saw happening.
Api may have to wait a week. Fifita just became a massive priority next week.
Hopefully Robson backs up, although it’s questionable with the 3 day turnaround on a hooker likely playing 60-80 minutes in origin with the amount of work they get through in the middle.
Looking like Lomax > Kiraz / Manu,
Munster > Plath
Chan > Whyte
Need to make 3 trades this week. Rd 14 bye is not too much of a concern as I only have 2 roosters / dolphins / Raiders players at the moment.
I can make the Plath move work pretty well which I’m now leaning over Cole or Weekes. Plays 13/16/17/19/20. Locked into about 55-60 minutes a game. Feel like I can carry him pretty easy through 14/18 at this stage.
The Whyte move opens up a DPP link with Curran / Cotter and 65-70 minutes at lock with the roosters draw opening up and Origin players out.Just leaves picking between Manu and Kiraz. Could also go Isaako if I wanted. Leaning Manu with his draw as he’s the one I’m really scared not owning over the origin period, even if he plays CTW. NQC/PAR/BUL/WST/STG/MEL over next 6. Also not really that affected by origin with his right sided half Walker not likely to get a look into QLD.
Next week will be Crichton > Fifita and Either Robson > Api with a potential Drinkwater > Teddy / Latrell eyed up round 15 when the draw gets tough for Cowboys.
