Best Options for the Week
Free Agent Pick-ups / One-Week Plays
Tanah Boyd (5/8) – 9.3% ownership
One of the few waiver worthy options this week. Has been named in the halves for the Wahs, has never been an overly sexy SuperCoach option but he will be kicking goals, is dual position and the their strength of schedule in H2H finals is great. You could do worse!
Latu Fainu (5/8) – 31.6% ownership
This young fella is a gun should be much higher owned than he is at 31%. Will only improve after more games next to Jarome Luai.
Leo Thompson (FRF) – 37.1% ownership
His ownership has dropped after a lengthy suspension and is now a handy pick up. I expect a fair few restings this week after origin so if you’re lacking depth or you will need FRF cover this week he’s your man.
Sione Katoa (CTW) – 42.2% ownership / Siosifa Talakai (CTW / 2RF) – 29.3% ownership
All I need to do is tell you to look at the Sharks draw on the run home. Get some Sharks players.
Taine Tuaupiki (CTW / FLB) – 16.5% ownership
Has been named in the fullback jersey with CNK out injured – should only be for a couple of weeks but it’s a great play this weekend against the Tigers over in NZ at the very least.
Daine Laurie*** (FLB) – 13.3% ownership
If you’re a Dylan Edwards owner and you don’t already have Daine Laurie stashed on your bench as a handcuff now is the time to do it. I think Edwards backs up barring an actual injury but can’t hurt having his back up ready to go against the Eels.
