The lads wade through the destruction that was Gameweek 3. Some big name fantasy players bite the dust.

Dagg, Tamanivalu, Sopoaga, Milner-Skudder, Lambie and Aso amongst others. What should managers do who have been affected by these injuries.

All of sudden players like Jordie Barrett, Fletcher Smith, Marty Banks, Garth April, Curwin Bosch, Wes Goosen, David Havili and George Bridge may have relevance to your season.

There is a lot of uncertainty amongst all those players so this week there’s going to be a lot of managers taking a leap of faith before team news are announced.
