If TPJ is benched I think its a more clearer indication on his minutes maybe. Would like to keep Rochow, 80 minutes and round 13. Should bounce back. I'll take a starting TPJ over him though I think.

A benched TPJ means he is due about 30-40 minutes, so not good signs for his fantasy prospects :/
80 minute Rochow playing round 13 is much better than that. Plus Tigers won't be attacking for 70 minutes of the game every week. A nice tight game against the knights would be good for him.

I am thinking of bringing in an Bukuya for Cartwright.

He was been scoring well below his breakeven and should get increased minutes in a depleted Shark's pack when he comes back next week...

I did not get my trades done for the start of the round this week so I need to get rid of Cartwright and Doueihi.

A added bonus would be that I would also get well placed 57of Marshall-King just sitting there doing nothing.

Am I a hypocrit? I need a 2nd rower and Bukuya would fill a hole plays round 13 and would probably score around 40 consistently. It is not a sideways trade, and I predict he will score around 40 per week for the rest of the year.

Also, major POD with only 0.6% ownership

Feel free to go for the jugular

There is a reason for the POD status .......... why not Murray?

Who gets promoted? Top two. I am currently tied for second. (it says I'm third but that's cause me and old mate are on same points so far this week so constitutes as a draw)

I have Murray already.

That is the point Wolfking. He is injured this week (and thus eats up Cartwrights spot and allows be to access JMKs score) but returning next week.

He will have a load more minutes while there is a lot of injuries in the forwards and then during Origin. But maybe he is not really worh it

League promotion go by overall ladder rankings... I think

[quote="Cap'n Ranta"]

Other options are Luke Lewis or James Gavet

I dont get the of TPJ starts ill keep him talk. he will play 35-45 minutes regardless of whether he starts. The Broncos forward rotations are basicslly the same every week.

Its a wet track in Brisbane tonight. Could be a forwards game.

If you believe Bukuya will definitely be back next week go for it. I think Bukuya is a gun with minutes and he might just get those minutes with Gallen out. There is definite risk, but it will pay off.

Overall, so in Kints case he is L8 this year, but overall he is currently rank 1. So he can jump into L1. Generally the Fanatics Overall Group is a good way to judge it all.

Few people play better off the bench. Alvaro might be one.
But at the start of the game when defensive lines are fresh and discipline is strict, it is always the best time for a forward to rack up a large amount of tackles which start as a good dependable base for their score. Most starting forwards then also get their second stint where they can come on against tired opponents and make some good attacking stats or just go nuts defensively and tackle everything the moves as the fresh man. Forwards that play off the bench can often get screwed by the game momentum as TPJ did last week. Perhaps they come on when the tries start being scored or the players are tired and more willing to give away penalties, or they are a tacklebot who comes on when their team has possession. The gametime is important, but so is the game conditions, and it is always easier to predict with starters

Thats a Promotion right there

Sua or Gosiewski to replace Murray as my last reserve? The other will be EMG if Fifita doesn't play

How bad are JWH and Blair in the ANZAC ad?!

I cant help but think if you like him then go for it. At 558k you are betting he transitions to some 45+ scores. If your worst case is 40 and you get some upside this week go nuts. Just note the upside is capped as although he's a good POD for now but he won't be a POD for long if he's going too well.

Don't like the other guys.
