<p>We are now down to the final round of the year, the SuperCoach Draft grand final. </p>



<p>Win, lose or draw
you’ve had a cracking effort, but also no one remembers the guy that came
second…</p>



<p>It’s been a brutal back end of the season for all SuperCoach players, with many NRL teams resting many SuperCoach Guns and the early word is that it sounds like we are in for another round of it.</p>



<p>The Manly games
continue to be SuperCoach gold for any player involved and that would be my
number one target for waiver-wires.</p>



<p>The Brisbane and
Cowboys game could also be a good source of waiver-wire targets, with neither
team being able to defend well and there should be plenty of options available.</p>



<p>Also, keep an eye on any Storm outside backs that are named in team lists.</p>

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



<p><strong>Nicho Hynes
(5-8/FLB)</strong></p>



<p>Continues to show he can score big if given a role at fullback and I
would also trust him at 5/8 if Munster is rested this week.</p>



<p><strong>Brandon Smith
(HOK/2RF)</strong></p>



<p>Whilst Brandon didn’t score many points last week, with the rumoured resting of a number of Storm stars, he should see good minutes with the Storm trying to get miles under his legs for finals.</p>



<a id="n6bgfbs-Qm5ASc7vSPe9rA" class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1256841400" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'n6bgfbs-Qm5ASc7vSPe9rA',sig:'aceY9dwqfttVz8yh15kVwI98CWgC7kkxJnjY7V8ITnQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1256841400',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>



<p><strong>Andrew Davey (2RF)</strong></p>



<p>Last week Davey was
promoted to the starting squad playing 80 minutes on the left edge and scored
decently with good base points against the Broncos.</p>



<p>If named to start this
week against the Tigers, he is a worth a waiver and could even find some
attacking points with Benji defending him.</p>



<p><strong>Chris Lewis or Tom
Eisenhuth </strong></p>



<p>This is reserved for
whoever gets the starting edge back-row spot for the Storm</p>



<p>Felise Kaufusi and
Kenny Bromwich are both in doubt for the weekend.</p>



<p>Eisenhuth would be
ideal if he is named as you can play him in your CTW, but I would also trust
Chris Lewis to score decently if named.</p>



<p><strong>Alex Glenn
(2RF/CTW)</strong></p>



<p>Glenn is a solid CTW option that won’t let you down but doesn’t have much upside, although this week he should line up against Drinkwater, who struggles with defence to say the least.</p>



<a id="KK9EREUbQjFWBgcYZcEsfA" class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1273299463" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KK9EREUbQjFWBgcYZcEsfA',sig:'N46LgUFBpVQiZRUBTviueSW1Z9oxyI2r39i76tN5uZ0=',w:'594px',h:'437px',items:'1273299463',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>



<p><strong>Jake Clifford (HFB/
5-8)</strong></p>



<p>Clifford has scored
decently against the Panthers and the Storm the last two weeks, with 61 and 41
points respectively.</p>



<p>This week against the
Broncos he should be playable in your team if you are struggling for half
options.</p>



<p><strong>Jayden Okunbor
(CTW)</strong></p>



<p>The Bulldogs have a
tough matchup against Penrith, but Okunbor has good base and if you watched the
game last week, it seems the Bulldogs main plan of attack is just to kick the
ball to Okunbor.</p>
