Best options of the week:
Selwyn Cobbo (Fullback / CTW) – 41% ownership
Named to play at fullback this week with Reece Walsh in Origin camp. Scored 71, 75, and 72 in his three-week stint at fullback earlier in the year and should be looking to rip and tear after being dropped to the QLD Cup the last few weeks.
Xavier Willison (FRF / 2RF) – 22% ownership
Named to start in the front row with Haas and Carrigan away on Origin duties. The bench is super light, meaning they’ll be relying on Willison to play decent minutes. He’s a barnstorming forward who can score a meat pie – ticks all the boxes this week.
Tyran Wishart (5/8 / HB) – 36% ownership
Any time this bloke is named to start, he’s worth a pick-up. Favourable match-up against the Cowboys as well!
Jason Saab (CTW) – 37% ownership
Started the year on fire, and then, along with his Manly teammates, hasn’t hit the heights we would’ve liked. However, I think Manly can turn it on against the Rabbitohs this weekend, and he could cross the line once or twice if we’re lucky. I also love their run home, and if they can start to click, then Saab will be a great pick-up.
Simi Sasagi (2RF) – 5% ownership
This guy had a blinder last week and should be picked up whenever he’s filling in for one of the back-rowers at the Raiders. Scored 92 with a try and an assist, 59 points in base power is also very handy. The Dragons are depleted this weekend with a bunch of injuries coming out of last week’s game. I like the Sasagi play this weekend.
Salesi Foketi (FRF / 2RF) – 17% ownership
Foketi looks like the real deal and could be an elite forward of the NRL in the years to come. He has back-to-back scores of 70, with solid base and attacking stats to go with it. I expect him to play 80 minutes this week against the Tigers – hopefully more attacking stats to come.
