Draft Breakdown: Waiver-wire + trade targets, Rd 21

Would you play Munster or Doueihi in the 5/8 position for this weeks finals in draft?

Every week we will be looking at players still available in 65% of leagues. There may be better options still available in your league, but this article will be focusing on the players that are likely to be available in most leagues.



Best call last round –&nbsp; Greg Marzhew – Scoring 58 points with a try, but importantly the base stats are still really high and he remains a great option going forward.&nbsp;



Worst call last round – Tom Starling – Scoring only 38 points in 55 minutes and having little opportunities in a poor Raiders effort.



There is a fair bit of movement in teams as we come down into the finals run for Draft leagues.



Let&#8217;s dive into the options for this week.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WAIVER OPTIONS FOR ROUND 21</h2>



Jordan Riki (2RF)



Riki was at his damaging best on the weekend scoring 116 points and importantly playing 80 minutes.



Riki has shown this potential before but his consistency has been his issue making it hard to trust him.



If he can keep his consistency up and despite being at the Broncos, his work rate and attacking opportunities are great and would be a welcome addition to most Draft sides.



Euan Aitken (CTW)



Aitken was shifted to the edge for the Warriors game against the Tigers and had an unbelievable game.



He got some luck with his attacking stats and is a risk at being found out defensively.



But whilst he is on the edge expect him to produce some good base stats like the 58 points he scored on the weekend.



Base stats are becoming less and less important with the way SuperCoach is going, but having someone with good base and good attacking opportunities is still ideal.



With the Warriors draw he could continue to find attacking stats and be a handy CTW.

Jake Clifford (HFB/5-8)



Clifford will benefit from Ponga’s return from injury and the Knights run home.



The Knights play the Broncos, Sharks, Bulldogs, Titans and Broncos.&nbsp;



With the goal-kicking, a couple of forced drops outs and literally passing the ball to Ponga for a TA, he could average 60+ points for the rest of the season.&nbsp;



Adam Keighran (HFB/5-8)



Keighran is a waiver for deeper leagues and for those that trust the Roosters are going to be peaking for the back end of the year.



Playing at centre he has very little base points or opportunity. However, he could be a good option at the scarce HFB and 5/8 position, as he has the goal-kicking against the Broncos, Dragons, Souths and Raiders for the final four matches of the year.



<a id='Y_h0EBE4RyV7cC2RVk09WQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1329301629' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Y_h0EBE4RyV7cC2RVk09WQ',sig:'JarGB_NfS19Fo4wIKd_pqnWrgXivgaYUUACxIzC9FKQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1329301629',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



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



These are the under or overperforming players you may be able to pick up in a trade cheaply, or sell while peaking in SuperCoach form.



IN



Dylan Edwards (FLB)



Edwards has been suffering in SuperCoach without Nathan Cleary with a five round average of 49PPG.



This is well down on the 70PPG average when he was playing with Cleary at the start of the year.



Nathan Clearly has been named on the extended bench for this round, so you figure he is close to taking the field.



Yes, it’s a risk because Clearly could re-injure his shoulder or might actually be a number of weeks away. But the upside of Edwards playing with Cleary against the Dragons, Souths, Tigers and Eels is worth it.



OUT



Jordan Rapana (CTW)



Rapana has been scoring well since he has shifted to fullback with a three round average of 86PPG and plenty of opportunity in the Raiders last match ups.



It looks likely he will shift back to the wing spot in the coming weeks with Bailey Simonsson and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returning from injury.



On top of the reduced opportunities on the wing, the Raiders play the Storm, Manly, Warriors and Roosters in their final four matches.
