Wenin is one of the founding fathers of the NRLSCTalk website who's Tuesday Teams Analysis has been a feature post on the site for close to a decade. He also loves a good steak bet!
I would hold both unless I had a solid 13-15 players ready to go for round 13
If Aitken doesnt get named this week due to HIA am thinking of leaving him aside and then trading someone like tuilagi to cotter instead. Good luck in h2h this week!

I’d imagine a few are in a similar position. Final 2 reserves out of Randall, MKing, Tago, Ilias, Coates & Koula?
This week solely? Drinkwater.
But I think they are both overpriced for what you will get in output.
Meaney didn’t do much as a fullback at the Dogs, if anything, he is better off on the wing. But plays Panthers this week.
Drinky plays Tigers, could go well, but plays Panthers and Storm next 2. Out of his 5 games, 4 of them have been against bottom 5 placed teams. I am not sold on them as a good team yet. They have had the best draw of any team so far.
I think it’s situational. Turbo has Origin ahead and could be rested where as Garrick plays the bye. Buying Garrick now gives you a piece of the Manly attack if Turbo does go bananas and if Turbo scores low you can buy him later for much cheaper.
Sanity check please.
Im going Papy to I Pap and Tualigi to Olakautu. Reason is his BE is lower than Garrick and with the rain around and tough Manly draw i think Olak will score better then garrick up to the bye in which i will get garrick.
Is this good in theory or should i get garrick this week and olak the week of the byes? Just with everyone having lovers nuts over garrick this week it had me questioning my rationale. Appreciate any thoughts. Cheers
Good in theory.Garrick is no world beater and scores are much poorer without Turbo.Manly will be missing Jurbo as well (rnd 13) and i think this makes Olak’s involvement rate a tad higher
Ola BE of 31 vs Garrick BE of 50, It’s been chucking it down here in Brisbane all week, usually that means more ball for the 2RF and forwards as long passes are risky. Broncos are also the second worst team vs Right 2RF’s. IMO Ola scores better tonight.
That being said if your CTW is poor I’d still take Garrick. Really team dependent.
Thoughts on Gutho?
I can see his output being pretty similar to Turbo over the origin period and he’s 350k cheaper.
63.4 avg doesn’t seem great but when you take out the games with Brown at centre his average is 72 including an 87 vs Storm and 96 vs Panthers.

24hr squad changes and reductions:
Warriors: Egan OUT, Tevaga (hooker), Aitken OUT, Murchie (2nd row), Katoa IN (bench), Lussick IN (bench), Petterson-Robati & Kosi reserves
Rabbitohs: still 1-17, Mamouzelos & Tass remain reserves
What’s the better trade for h2h (not doing very well in my league)
First trade pappy to Munster
Second
Tu) aitken to Garrick
Td)tago to Meaney
I would hold both unless I had a solid 13-15 players ready to go for round 13

Randall and Tago
Randall Koula
Who will be the better CTW this year?
TU- C.Graham
TD- Lomax
Who makes way for Burbo.
TU: Tuilagi
TD: Howarth
Comment: Tass
Tass will get another dig at some stage surely.
Who to bring in… Hynes or Turbo?
Hynes imo. Better draw, less likely to be rested after Origin and has the runs on the board. No indication 2021 Turbo will come back at this point.
Who do you guys think is a better in this week
TU: Meaney (If confirmed at FLB)
TD: Drinkwater
This week solely? Drinkwater.

TU – Garrick
TD – Turbo
Having the same dilemma, why do we think Garrick is the better option?
I think it’s situational. Turbo has Origin ahead and could be rested where as Garrick plays the bye. Buying Garrick now gives you a piece of the Manly attack if Turbo does go bananas and if Turbo scores low you can buy him later for much cheaper.
Chasing last weeks score perhaps
Turbo is the best player in the game. I don’t like watching him play if he isn’t in my team
TU: Garrick
TD: Lomax
Hey guys, thoughts on which trades:
1. Papen + staggs -> turbo + ipap
2 papen + tuilagi -> Garrick + ipap
3. Papen + Tago + tuilagi -> turbo + ipap + burbo
Cheers!
2 easily, just brilliant trades!
was prepped to go taffe to Turbo this week so had close to 400k in the bank.
TU: paps>turbo, coates>Garrick & tuilagi>TPJ 100k left
TD: paps>turbo, coates>Garrick & Tuilagi>Burbo 500k left
Comment: save the trade boost and just do the first 2 trades

You come up completely sane to me, nothing wrong with your reasoning.
I’m a little worried about how Ola goes with Turbo compared to without, don’t hate your reasoning but IF you don’t own Turbo 100% go garrick
Ola has a great combo going with DCE so I wouldn’t worry to much Tigs.

Leo Thomson to Burbo worth a boost?
A boost is worth more than a potential cash cow with job security issues imo
That is the 1st trade I will probably make. Don’t think it is a week to boost with the wet weather around
We applied an update to our comment plugin and this has appeared to cause some issues with the server. Hopefully all resolved now.
I like the change in tu/td Wenin
Loving the change to TU and TD totals rather than one cancelling out the other. Excellent move!
I like the update too Wenin , atleast now the log in link works .
Any Burbo new owners worried about him up against staggs tonight??
I’m thinking of VCing Staggs.
That’s why I’m not playing him.
Is it worth using a second trade for Burbo?
If so:
TU: Penisini
TD: Valeia
Comment: hold trade (will be left on 26 if I make the second trade)
I’d hold it
Taaffe firming to start -fox
Thoughts on Gutho?
I can see his output being pretty similar to Turbo over the origin period and he’s 350k cheaper.

Rabbitohs: still 1-17, Mamouzelos & Tass remain reserves
Last Reserve:
TU: Te Maire Martin
TD: Burbo
Burbo? Weather not looking great for attacking stats tbh…
Weather horrid and I think Staggs is going to chew him up and spit him out. i can’t see Burbo doing anything (except making cash no matter his score).
or Tuilagi over TMM?
who to trade out for Ipap?
TU: JTB
TD: Tuilugi
I’m hoping JTB gets a run in R13 (probably wishful thinking).
Would be a chance if Nanai or Cotter make origin (extremely unlikely imo) but some hope with an injury/resting
is JTB still injured CoG? or just not getting into the team. I have him on bench hoping he I will play 13
Named 18th man in team list suggests he is good to go. All i know
I was $200 short of doing TU so I had to trade out Tuilugi. Have gone TU as such. Shattered …
