The Perfect Mix: Game Week 3
It's time to select your six players for Game Week 3 of Bundy Mixer!
If you're having trouble deciding who to include this week, we're here to offer our take on the big guns you need to try and fit into your Mix.
Cameron McInnes (HOK)
While I'm not expecting him to replicate last week's record-breaking 81-tackle effort, McInnes is a good bet at HOK anyway because he is playing as a big-minute middle forward. His tackle numbers are always going to be high and he will be pumped for a big game against his former side the Rabbitohs, who have a glut of talent in their engine room.

Evania Pelite (WFB)
A try-scorer in both of the Titans' opening games, Pelite is in fine form right now as part of an undefeated team. She's hitting good numbers in running from fullback this year and has huge upside if she encounters poor first-up contact, with her whopping 16 tackle breaks in Round 1 evidence of that. I'm backing her to have a big one against the Sharks this weekend.
Evania Pelite try 21st minute
Shaun Johnson (HLF)
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to HLFs this week and most are going to opt for Nathan Cleary or Nicho Hynes. But that's part of the reason Johnson appeals, with the Warriors No.7 set to be a real point of difference. He's coming off a bye against a Titans side who at times this year have leaked plenty of points, and let's not forget that Johnson is in fantastic form, which over the past month would have made him easily the best HLF in Mixer. If you're feeling lucky, consider boosting him too.
Simaima Taufa (MID)
Simaima Taufa try 46th minute
Through the opening two rounds Taufa has been immense for competition newcomers Canberra, and from tackles alone she's establishing around a 40-point base to which she's been adding some nice stats with ball in hand. She's averaged 61 across the first two weeks and looks to be a very reliable player this year. The MID position is a great one to assign a NRLW player to this week, with Taufa, Millie Boyle and Georgia Hale all great options.
