As someone already pointed out, they don't say how much it is before you put your card details in! I've scoured the terms and conditions and it's not even in there, pretty bloody shonky the whole setup this year tbh.

$21 ish for NZ lol paid before I realised how shit the app was

@Rapture_NRL I thought about Moses. He was in my pre-season draft but thought KNik would have some balls. Moses looked really great actually.

Aubbs! Haha not tempted by Jayne with equally good byes, some DPP and spending time on the park at fullback while Gutherson is out? Gives you cash itb for your round 2 move/s

Kennar play is safe as houses in redfern mate. Relatively safe and up and coming these days, but patchy history, so you just never know

Not interested in Hayne pal, would rather Aubbs and pray he sticks in the 2RF or could take a punt on Croker but he still has cash to lose

kennar purely in for the cover I stupidly bypassed at seasons start and a fill in for Isaako if needed

I have Kennar but wouldn't be surprised if that is highest score of the season.

There was talk of Lolohea not starting all week, there was a few mentioned also who had poor attitudes or were undercooked.
I thing the former was nofo and the latter Lolohea.
Thing is we don’t know behind the scenes what’s going on, look at Simona. Given their form last year and trying to rebuild the club then perhaps Nofo won’t get back in for a while.
Perhaps Rochow keeps his spot for a while too.

It’s hard to know with Cleary but if there is a good buzz around the club the last thing he would want to do is not reward his players with another start. Will know tomorrow when the lists come in

How many points did Griffin score from that try?

Thanks Welshy and Rapture

I would be letting SST go to bring in Ponga although something tells me if I do and they both have contrasting games from last weekend then it will be burning cash by not sitting on it for a week or is Ponga guaranteed an increase even with a mediocre score this week?

Godinet -> Rochow or Thompson or Griffin

What sounds the best???

Agree.  6 tries and a penalty goal killed Lichaa's tackle stats in the first half.  I'm definitely holding.

Right, I get ya now. I just remember reading somewhere on here that a trade is only worth it if you're gaining (or saving) $150k

I still think Lichaa goes around 40, probably higher but I expected 80 minutes with Frawley getting replaced by bench utility
However, main reason for trade would be to fund a CTR who I can slot in and play all year

I figured with Aubbs or Latrell (with goalkicking) I get close to Lichaa, perhaps even matching and on my bench I run Rochow who will go well playing 80 (35-45)
So I'm up on points weekly whilst filling my CTR spot with a keeper

I have Lichaa and happy to keep him., Gets a couple weeks and at worst holds his price for some fallen gun or up and comer to come in.
Gallen/Murray/Mcullough could be options in a couple weeks

Yeah, I re-read it after mate, so main reason is funding. The real concern here is you didn't start with Maubbs mate...

just testing some stuff for www.nrlfantasy.com.au

Yeah, certainly won't be massive changes any time soon.
The concern is McQueen/Sue/Aloiai breathing down his neck over the coming month.  It does seem that it is his spot to lose at the moment.  It was very interesting to see Rowdy getting subbed instead of Rochow.

No worries! From last year, if a player smoked their BE, then they still made cash even if they didn't make their BE for the next week. Vice versa if they bombed badly enough (I don't think that's the case for SST but glad I don't have him!)

CS9
Lodge, TKO
TPJ, Whitehead, Jurbo
Croft, Carty
Mitchell, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Kennar

Cook, Arrow, Havili, RFM
Kikau, Nicholls, Croker, Katoa
$72k itb - katoa/Hiku look like trade out candidates, TKO I'll give another week.

Yes, would be more than happy to Keep Lichaa and I don't want to get rid but one of the best options I have to plaster the cracks I created by not having any WFB cover is using him as bait as it were! Could go Thompson/Kennar but could easily find myself where I am now having to replace them in 2 weeks,

I could downgrade Whitehead but I've learnt from that in the past Lichaa the only other option who allows me to set my CTR spot I think fella unless you can see someone else?

I like this. I'd promote Kikau if he plays, he's a beast. Havili is in a spine being chopped and changed, plus he scored a try against a disorganised Titans. I'd save the trade but not a bad option (what's the diff between Hiku and Kennar/Thompson?)
