Dropped Genia for T K-B. Genia seems to have entered that group of exceptional players, poor fantasy performers with the likes of Kaino, Conrad Smith, Carter, McCaw etc
Dropped Wulf for T N-W
1 transfer left which may see Rensberg being culled now that Crockett is on the bench. That or a new second rower, one that may score above 5

carter not starting and the reds playing the rebels has forced me to drop carter for Taps in my fantasy team. Hoping for big things. With Hanson and Higgers coming back into the starting team I'm not sure I need to make any more transfers this week - I'll wait and see how the team announcements go to make sure there's no surprises, but I may use the opportunity to clean up my bench. Theres good value around with a few rookies getting consistant starts and plaing well.
OK so here is my dilemma at the moment: I have $350K to spend on an outside back. Who do I pick? The guys I am looking at:
Andre Taylor (Canes) good player, should get a bit of space vs the Force which I predict to be a free-flowing game. But fullbacks can be unpredictable in fantasy, can score 50 or 0.
Nick Cummins/Pat Dellitt (Force) both had bad games last week but I predict they will do better coming home against an easier team. Both are pretty cheap, but which one do I pick? Or do I go with Nalaga?
Lance/Morahan/Shipperley (Reds) should have a good week against the Rebels. I don't particularly rate any of them as complete players, so I would basically be hoping they rack up a couple of tries. Not sure that is the most reliable option.
TNW/Robinson (Chiefs) had a great week against the Blues, Crusaders will be a tougher ask though. Not sure they will get the same opportunities.
The other problem is none of these players seem particularly long-term prospects.
Who would you pick?

I would be inclined to go Cummins. He is fairly solid. Although he won't break and records will get you a score every week if you are looking for long term.

Hmm I'm not sure the Brumbies will carve up the Cheetahs as much as you think. Cheetahs scrum is handy too. Tipping the Bloem lads to surprise, currently have Johan Goosen as my captain. Hoping he will boot them home.

Big Coenie is back for the Cheetahs.
I need a new prop, not sure whether to go for him or Cilliers from the Lions.

That's a great side you have there. Im not that happy with mine for the weekend. I tried to stack my team with Sharks and Reds but I havent planned ahead so I have only ended up with 2 x Reds, 3 x Sharks... Also a bit of a gamble but I have left Mackintosh on the bench and stuck with Dale Chadwick due to the Sharks playing the Lions...
Think i should opt for Mackintosh?
