If he wasn't playing origin I would likely set and forget him for solid base scores knowing that he's surely going to score a few tries this season. Origin makes it harder to consider keeping him vs players like JT and Smith.

Yeah, at least a couple of meaties would help. If I can keep him next week I probably will.

Urgggg just looked at Round 11 and I have 11 playing before trades....

For NSW, Andrew Johns has retired from rep football. Craig Gower is the originally named halfback but withdraws due to injury.

Not a lover of this game. infact it hurt......but 2006 is still one of my all time fav SOO Series......just when they think they have it one, the leadership and genius of Lockyer <3 <3 <3 <3

4 trades at least brings you up to 15. I have probably similar numbers out as well.

Plenty of time to get a decent team before 11 mate with the extra trades

Wow, I'm glad I traded Cronk out

Hannant you absolute cunt, what is the point in that?

Only Multiple Scoregasms yet to get on the board...

R8 H2H:

Ouch. This was a bit of a bummer on an otherwise good day. First time I scored over 700 and scored up in the top half of the group too. Still got beaten in H2H though.

It's been a hard slug but hopefully this is the start of some kind of ascent... I hope. Maybe I can finish 4th last instead of 3rd last?

Got really lucky with quite a few double try scorers this week, though, so that's not going to happen often. Just don't know what to do with guys like Daz Albert. He was on my chopping list this week until I realised I needed more money to try and bring in at least one gun so dropped a couple of higher priced non-playing duds instead.

Now that Daz has put in a big score it probably makes him easier to punt when his price starts to drop, what to do? Do I just hold him and rely on these random big scores? So few backs seem any more reliable. Not much point punting him for someone who will be exactly the same. Unles the new one has a lower BE, I guess, but in this format... is someone like Daz Albert even a potential keeper? Another fine example, Hazem. I was again really close to dropping him too. Not any time soon now.

Who knows? I've placed the backs as last choice in terms of putting fires out and will keep it that way because they can go big so easy... as well as drop a single digit. Just so hard to guess when the next big score will be, if at all.

Stapleton put together two nice scores for price rises. Nice. Wish he was in my 17, though.

I held onto Gordon for 8 weeks for that? Fuck. Again, though, he probably scores 80 tonight/tomorrow. Who knows with these ball slappers? Steve Turner too. Pretty average score even with a try, but I guess you just hold? Who knows.

As for Todd Carney, with 8 of my team playing Origin I'm not even sure I'll get around to punting him yet. Will see.

Gotta get Parker in somehow.

Kennedy for 10 points! Should put a dent in his price! Must've been an injury. :/

Are you honestly complaining about 42 points?

1st place for Welshy doesn't happen often, looks like it's going to his head and he thinks he's the new Bellamy

Ben Kennedy & Shane Perry wtf boys. Well that puts Kennedy out of last man standing.

Yes Iam. I traded him out after 20s

Glad I punted Carney and Tim Smith this round but yeah, for that from Gordon? He's straight in the shit heap with Turner and Boyd. Great.
Expect Morris to join them on debut no doubt

Injury for Kennedy Milch? That’s going to make him drop a shit tonne of cash. Nice for non owners

Adrian Purtell. Really? I am an owner and I will gladly (finally) accept those price rises, but sadly, based on his scoring so far, he was well outside my scoring 17.
