158 so far for the round with Captain Gallen to come (no thanks, VC Surgess!)

SJ, RTS, CNK, Ese'ese, Fai, BTHompson, Moga all playing for me at 5:30pm so should see a decent rankings boost (I hope!)

White Lightning wrote:As a Cook owner & this was mooted on the forum lately. The idea of killing off the 2nd hooker spot & just running with CS9. This idea has some merit if you look at the top 11 averages. I have excluded Faifai Loa who has played 1 game for 59.0%.
Taumalolo=63.7%, CS9=61.6%, Macca=61.6%, J. Papalii=58.7%, JDB=58.1%, Gallen=58.1%, Fifita=57.7%, Pearce=57.5%, J-Trbo=56.8%, Surgess=56.3%, McInnes=55.7%.

I'd say Macca's average will start falling with K-Nik on the bench. Six of the top 11 are 2fr so this year the trend seems to be stacking your 2fr. For those thinking like me of getting McInnes  as a 2nd hooker he is actually placed 11th on averages. So it seems getting McInnes may not be the percentage play to make when you could kill off your 2nd hooker spot & buy Taumalolo who is the number 1 averaging player in fantasy. Also killing off your 2nd hooking spot is low risk because CS9 never gets injured.

Exactly, WL. This was the point I was trying to make yesterday but I didn't have the figures to back it up so thanks lol I can legitimately see my team running
Fifita/James/Graham
Gallen/Surgess/Crichton/Taumalolo/JDB/JTurbo

And with a couple of trades in hand I can't see anything wrong with this option. Even going 3 halves instead of 6 2RF is another option. McInnes et al just don't rustle my jimmies this season

Two seasons back it was looking like maybe he should retire. Last season and this season he looks better than some 10 years his junior. Genuinely happy he is playing on.

I used to respect your dedication to updates OTBP.  You've changed.

Finch wrote:Kaufusi - JWH. Yay or nay? Have Graham, Vaughan + Hoare as my other FRF. Think I would like an extra 40 points this week, just means I'll probably have to trade JWH out again in round 15, however I have just over 20 trades left so that's not really a problem.

Any advice?
