I was keen on him this morning but have since changed my mind & tend to agree with you mate. I just want to give him a couple of weeks to see whether he cements the starting 2fr & plays big minutes. We all know what Hasler is like & how he sticks to his established players. I mean Frawley has been stuck on the bench when he should of been starting. He probably will now if J-Rey is out with his hammy.

If Elliott is named to start next round then that will be the time to get him if you're going to get him at all. Nice negative b.e that you can ride up to round 12 where he should get big minutes again and then trade him to a round 15 gun or hold until after the last big bye round

welch gone for the year

And NAS broke his hand/wrist apparently.

so nas out 2 rounds due to rep week?

White Lightning wrote:Another point re the big bye rounds 12, 15 & 18. If you can't put out a full 17 in any of these rounds the captains loophole comes into play which gives you 2 bites of the cherry for your captain score.

Pretty sure this isn't true this year. Both Captain and VC lock with the first lock out, so you can't change your C to a NPR after the first game has started.

How could NAS break his hand when he is made of steel. Gutted for him as he'll miss the test.

is everyone here still riding jwallace? another high-ish BE and has got melbourne this week - starting to feel like i should quit while im ahead on him

I think FKaufusi is fast approaching trade out time.

Scoring 70+ 2 weeks in a row was nice, but assuming he goes back to averaging low 40s, then his priced has peaked and next week might be the highest he'll get all season. Of course if he bangs out another couple of 70s then he'll keep going, but I believe that's unlikely.

Currently got 15 for round 12 and it's pretty solid

Tolman fifita(Graham) tualau
Gallen whitehead Crichton Capewell
Norman Walker Frawley
Talakai Jennings
Rts cotric

Next week Cotric becomes Sj which doesn't improve numbers but definitely improves scoring

Should be pretty set for round 13 aswell with:

Smith McInnes
Tolman Graham Kaufusi (Tualau)
Whitehead Jwal CHN
Sj Norman Frawley Hampton
Sione idris
Hayne rts MWZ

Actually mate I think you're right. I'm glad if they did & I was never a fan of it. I would utilize it if allowed because you basically have no choice as everyone else will.

i was only planning on trading him out if he is picked for origin. Not sure how likely that is. He will have 2-3 day turnarounds after each origin, can see reduced minutes for him during rounds 13 to 19 so was going to trade to surgess. But i think he is a keeper so holding until origin team announced at least.

50 thumbs up and I'll tell....

Don't be such a flog. I and others always offer our insights openly in the spirit of altruism and helping out our fellow Fanatics. Either tell us, or don't. But whoring yourself out for meaningless likes is just sad. Don't be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

More minutes for Stimson with NAS and welch being out?

interesting - is he really that close to origin (must admit i dont watch very many titans games). for me, awfully tempting to trade to tolman and be done with it.

I'm keeping. He's more than capable of matching his b/e of 55 this week. I think this is the kind of game he'll score well in especially if it's a wet, rainy Melbourne day.

Captain's loophole is the same this year as the last few years. You can't take the C off your captain, but you can sub him out of your 17 - and he can become your AE from there if eligible

Different to the Supercoach/Dream Team loophole but still very muich workable if you have 17 or less players available.

Awesome

If A. Elliot has a blinder for Country & then starts for the Bulldogs he'll be pretty hard to leave out.

Dont know if close, was chance with scott and napa injured. Napa is back so I'd say he is unlikely for origin.... hopefully! Already have tolman, so he was becoming surgess

hard to say with harris due back

I think kbrom may play up front with glasby (off the bench) while NAS is out

stimson takes the leftovers from finucane, and then the 4th reserve spot (welch's) might be kamikamikas or nicholls for reduced mins

harris could also be eased back in, meaning stimson has more mins. this is me speculating
