SpyTalk | Round 27

G‘day Legends!



We are at the end of a cracking NRL SC season and thanks for being involved!



Let’s try and go out on a high by running through some of the big scoring options this weekend before we get stuck into the best thing in world sport ‘FINALS FOOTY!’

Let’s get into it!



Reece Walsh 



Not a bad option, but if you have come this far without him, to might as well go one more. 



Melbourne will be primed, and Walsh has the potential to be kept under control. 



OR he might be too good again, but there are better targets this weekend, and its time to have a swing!

Tom Trbojevic



 Turbo has certainly hit some form, but The Wahs may have more to play for than recent opponents. 



Really tricky to figure out how this game plays out, but a confident Tommy T is always a good option, especially if Brisbane win and the NZ boys can’t make the 4 and rest a couple.



Sam Walker



Sammy has a high upside and low floor, but if the Chooks can turn one on, then he may prove to be a difference maker. 



Could score 20, could score 140! Proceed with caution/excitement.

Dylan Edwards



A proven gun and St George, potentially with half a leg at the Sunday/Monday pub crawl, plus his ownership having dropped substantially, I really like him this weekend. 



He better play because I own him!



Thomas Jenkins 



As above with Edwards, he could feast this weekend if Penrith can put a score on!



Casey McLean / Blaize Talagi 



Copy and paste!

Keano Kini 



Welcome back to the #1 jersey, Keano! 



Again, it’s hard to figure out how this match plays out, but regardless Kini will be in the thick of the action. 



The Tigers are mid-pack against fullbacks in terms of points conceded, and I have a feeling they will want to mark an improved year with a win and some added confidence heading into next season. 



An interesting watch, but Kini is a gu,n and there is the potential for points to be scored.



Jahream Bula 



The other fullback in that clash is capable as well if you want to get extremely podish. 



He does appear to lack upside, but this will change at some stage in a random match. 



Maybe this is it? One for the free wheelers out there!



<a id='e_cZWdiEQex6QG6fLWzKJQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2150503971' 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:'e_cZWdiEQex6QG6fLWzKJQ',sig:'bxJlivBNUWBmZszo-CPxLOEqQP9KneRlvmJ86iZVVSA=',w:'594px',h:'361px',items:'2150503971',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



Trai Fuller 



Once again, one of my plays of the weekend! 



Big fan of this guy and playing against a largely reserve-grade outfit.



Tevita Naufahu 



Got to love a left-edge player outside of Isaiya Katoa. 



Another POD option coming off 124 last round. 



Happy to have a crack!

Herbie Farnworth 



What else can be said? 



He would have scored near 250 last time he played if the hammy hadn’t gone! 



Plenty of risk, and he may not play the game, but it would be unwise to leave him off this list. 



Personally, I’m a no on hammy returns, and he could get an early shower, but I wouldn’t be mad owning him.



Captain Zac Lomax 



He could be a sneaky POD skipper to end the season!



<a id='B4x21oUhTgJ3MxvCdEG4cg' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2232658398' 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:'B4x21oUhTgJ3MxvCdEG4cg',sig:'9NGpmGaVnn0gPyN85TRdmPVbL5HgIUd6WuBJBxkJ8Vk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2232658398',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



Isaiah Iongi



We will hear a lot about this young fella in the future. 



A household name in the making and someone who could have a blinder this Sunday to cap a super season.



Dylan Brown 



Can Dylan sign off with a bang against this future club? 



He scored 162 in the 2nd last round of the 2024 season, so he has it in him.



Sign Off



That’ll do for this regular season, and thank you, everyone, for a great year! 



I’m hoping to sign off with some green arrows after a disastrous last month of the comp, but I have loved every minute of it otherwise.



See you again soon!
