I skipped Piakura, but I wouldn't be worried if I hadn't with that level of ownership. Anyone who believed in him to start with him, shouldn't be bothered by a slight drop in cash early. He'll make it back.

Yeah me too. The pre-season injury had me worried that he might have been a late scratching and I didn't want to be madly scrounging to find another value 2RF.

For me I just don't see a ceiling higher thank Riki. A good player just not a workhorse like you need for SC. May be proven wrong yet though and will rue not bringing him in.

There’s heaps of them, wouldn’t be too hard haha

See how Piakura scores next week. This is only in his rolling average 1 week. Another week score and I’ll just flip him to someone

Demitriou on Jacob Gagai. Hard to glean anything about what will happen 2 weeks from now. I thought he was better than Kennar, but I could be looking through SC-tinted glasses.

(Will spare you the ZT link)

"Obviously, it's rewarding and pleasing to see a guy come through the system and battled for a number of years," Demetriou said post-match.

"I don't think there are too many that would've debuted after 28 years old, so he's definitely in a small minority of people there, and he acquitted himself really well.

"I thought he was excellent defensively on that edge.

"He scored a try that was really hard to finish, and you could see the energy and the excitement from the players when he scored that try as well because it meant as much to them as it did to him.

"And to hear his dad and family speak pre-game was pretty special.

"It's definitely those moments that you think about in your career that you're pretty lucky to be a part of, and it goes to show tonight that the journey was worth it, and he showed he can handle playing in the NRL."

Wait and see if he plays again. If he gets named a third time probably a good target

Yeah I didn't start with him for this reason. Will be interesting if he gets named if and when Munro is back.

I took him. Does he need to play a third time to be useful?

He got 55. Let’s say he gets plays round 2 and gets 35, but isn’t named for round 3

Will his average be 30?

55 + 35 + 0

If he goes up to $300k based on that I could still sell at this time for a nice profit, right?

Need to play a third time
Price rise only after playing 3 games as it’s based on a 3 game rolling average

Ahhh… I thought it was 3 rounds.

Live and learn.
He could definitely hold it for a bit
Kennar’s defence was grim. Might make sense to go Wighton Tass centres for a bit - then you get into no need to rush Munro territory and he could play 5 or 6 games.

Based off the fact he did nothing in the second half he may have maxed out by then.

Max Plath 👀
Not dual which is awkward, although you could go double cheaping at 5/8 if you were brave. I think that ship has sailed for me with who has already played.

Dolphins have round 3 bye, could be a good wait and see option, bring him in round 4 if named again.

If named to start 13 though I'll probably bring him in at 5/8, move strange to CTW and sack someone from my CTW bench.

I'm thinking Plath at 5/8 and Strange (who'll apparently be named at 5/8 for Canberra) to CTW as well. That way, if Plath is a bust, Strange can be slotted up.

Will depend on how many other cheapies get named though.

Yeah if he's named on the bench I'll be doing this too. He'll be a no brainer if starting, but I doubt he will be.

If he's named bench I might go wait and see. Could easily play like 20 minutes only.

At the moment, pending better cheapie options, I have Tuaupiki in, could ride him for one price rise while I watch what Plath is doing. Tuaupiki even being in is taking a slight gamble on CNK being out longer than expected.
If some of the limited cheapies dry up, like Kane Bradley not being named though, Plath could get a run even if named on the bench.

Bellamy said something yesterday about thinking out of the box to fit Fa'alogo into the team.

Maybe see him I the bench instead of garlick?

I think he's been or is still injured and will come back through Cup. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench at some stage though.
