We are now getting down to the wire in the Draft finals with only a few left alive.



I hope your league has
dodged the controversy that can happen this time of the season and your team doesn’t
suffer any unlucky resting.



As outlined last week,
I would be targeting Storm, Penrith, Eels and Souths players this week for
their matchups, but I reckon the Manly vs Titans will be the biggest SuperCoach
game and could have points galore on both sides.



Let’s dive into some of the best picks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WAIVER-WIRE TARGETS</h2>



Any Panthers
starting player



Ivan Cleary has said that with a home final locked up he will look at
potentially resting players and getting some minutes into players on the fringe
of the 17.



Against the Cowboys and with an increased chance of some fresh faces in
team lists, players like Burton, May and Capewell should all be targeted as a
priority waiver.



Brandon Smith
(HOK/2RF)



Brandon should make
his return from a broken jaw this week and there is a chance Tino or another
forward gets rested as the Storm freshen up before finals.



Brandon playing lock
or even off the bench should score a minimum of 50 points and could have a
point to prove against Harry Grant.



Ricky Leutele or Paul
Momirovski (CTW)



Leutele or Momo should be named in place of Brenko Lee and against the Tigers on the Sunshine Coast could stroll over for a try or two.

Jai Field (5-8/FLB)



Field is a running 5/8
against a poor defensive side this week and could be SuperCoach gold.



His base this year has
been great and I expect a solid score between 55-70 points from him this week.



Taniela Paseka (FRF)



With AFB injured and
likely not to play this week, Paseka should see decent minutes and he is
SuperCoach gold with offload and tackle busting runs.



Mitch Rein (HOK)



Rein is seeing good minutes
and loves to run himself, you could do far worse at hooker.



Steven Marsters (2RF/CTW)



If still available,
Marsters should be a high target against the Bulldogs.



Anthony Don, Corey
Thompson and Young Tonumaipea (CTW)



As mentioned earlier,
the Titans vs Manly game is a good match to target and these Titans backs could
get some nice attacking stats. 



My order of priority would be Don>Thompson> Tonumaipea.

Edrick Lee (CTW)



Lee was on the list
last week and looked in good touch despite his low SuperCoach score.



He is never going to
have great base and could be a risk you might not need to take if you are
looking good before Newcastle plays.



If you need to roll
the dice with some risky but potentially very rewarding players, Lee could be a
great edition benefiting from Ponga’s right to left cut out.



Albert Hopoate or
Abbas Miski (CTW)



Depending on who gets
named, you could do worse than to gamble on these two wingers.



If Turbo is back as
predicted, the left-hand winger shoots up the priority list.
