The Perfect Mix: Game Week 9
Game Week 9 is here in Bundy Mixer and it's time to pick another six players you think can help you climb the rankings or get ahead in your league!
Cameron Munster (HLF)
With Jahrome Hughes out due to a calf injury, and replaced by a makeshift option in Tyran Wishart, almost all of the playmaking responsibilities will fall on Munster this week.
While he managed just 37 in the Finals Week One drubbing at the hands of Brisbane, the Queensland playmaker has four scores over 50 this Mixer season and with the increased workload this week has the potential to be a 60+ player.
With huge uncertainty surrounding Shaun Johnson, he's the HLF of choice and a solid boost option.
Munster on the money
Emma Tonegato (WFB)
One of the best ball runners in the NRLW this season, Tonegato has achieved triple digit running metres in all eight of her games.
In recent weeks she's been stacking some dynamic stats on top of that base, with tackle breaks and line breaks, and against the last-placed Eels she's well positioned to do that again.
The fullback-turned-half will be a good chance of setting up and scoring tries this week and can be looked at as a boost too, with scores of 69 and 53 in the past fortnight.
Mele Hufanga (CTR)
A potential point of difference pick, with most of the CTR love currently going the way of Dane Gagai (16 percent selection) and Isabelle Kelly (64 percent selection).
But at the time of writing Kelly was yet to be cleared through concussion protocols after picking up a head knock last week, leaving too much uncertainty, while Gagai is no guarantee of going well in a tough away trip to face the Warriors.
Hufanga has big tackle break potential and after a couple of quiet weeks is due a big one.

Tohu Harris (EDG)
There isn't a heap to like about the EDG options available this week, but Harris is the one least likely to dip below 50.
For starters he's in the middle of the park so won't be left out of the action if the game is played predominantly down either edge, while he'll play 80 minutes or close to it, especially if Shaun Johnson is ruled out and Dylan Walker is required in the halves.
He's good for 50 off base stats alone, so is the pick for me this week.
