    Questions for the masses. Are James Graham's low scores a concern worthy of potential trade? Same with Gallen? Frustrating watching them get consistently poor scores while players like JDB run rampant

    Edit: I realise 50s aren't that bad, but 'just' 50s are losing me h2hs lol

    I can see both good & bad with this trade. Gutherson has been pretty consistent lately & isn't this a local derby which might be good for Guttherson. However Robson seems to be dominating the play lately & Gutherson needs an attacking play to score well.
    The Hayne side of the trade will depend on if he's in the 13. I still think he's a 80 minute game away from match fitness & knowing the team moves. On the other hand it is Hayne who can do spectacular things.

    My verdict = wait a week.

    I agree!

    Me = 952, the projectiles = 962.
    Would have to hope for downgrades of merrin and mansour and an updates of taukeiaho.
    Not likely...

    Well done the projectiles.

    That's me, cheers. Mansour having a stinker after i paid top dollar for him almost cost me in the end.

    I had 3 trades left.  I went ET and Latrell out to JDB and nuffie.  My other option was to bring JDB in with 1 trade via Gallen.  I don't trust Gallen to be anything more than mediocre over the next month, but I've got a feeling ET is going to be even more disappointing.

    I'm less worried about Graham then those 2.

    I see earlier Shanbon was bringing Gallen in?  He spent the majority of the 2nd half on the bench, even when the game was in the balance.

    I have 1 trade left & I have ET. I'm hoping he'll bounce back & make 50+ tackles against the Titans.

    Looking at strengthening my Centres for the last 4 games...

    Claw has been disappointing...
    Yeo is on my radar, he's been consistent, great base stats, POD ownership

    not expecting big scores from BJ and Croker with some tough games ahead for them

    Scored 1077 this week (rank 88 for the round) - a small ray of sunshine in what has been a diabolical season. Jumped 831 places to 3,271 Embarassed got eliminated first round and and missed the top 8 in L3 because of for and against - I guess there's always next year.

    Good luck to all those who made it to their respective finals!

    Made the wrong call with Merrin(C), cost me a chunk of points over my VC. I'll give the honours to Smith this week, he's a safe/popular choice. Love rolling the dice though, haha.

    L3 tough in the middle of the pack there.  Surmon and I were fighting it out for 8th as well.  I beat Surmon by 7 points to qualify 8th (and I'm highest Overall of the entire 16).

    Just scraped into the top 8
    It would have been crazy to score highest Overall and drop out of the top 8

    How are the finals worked out? Finished 4th on the ladder but ended by jagging The Projectiles who Are topping L2 and happen to be First overall! Thought 1st played 8th, 2nd play 7th and so on?

    Same as NRL Welshy; 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd, 5th plays 8th and 6th plays 7th. Top 4 get 2 bights of the cherry with the loser playing the winner from the bottom 4 match-ups

    I think he is just being taken care of for the few weeks after Origin. He was given a full week off leading into Titans game so minutes were also looked after and then a 5 day turnaround would also mean minutes need loooking after. I think he starts to ramp back up from now on leading into the finals.

    He was also at a price to good to ignore. Personally i would have rathered JDB + Cordner but his rise and Taylors fall meant i missed out.
