Wonder if I downgrade him now to Martin instead of Soro for extra cash.

Haha, like a few lads were saying yesterday-Lamb was the opposite when I had him last year. Bloke would be on 23 or 24 at HT, then 27 at FT.

If Peats does end up playing, you assume Rein goes to the bench (as opposed to getting dropped all together) right?
If this is the case, although not ideal particularly if you're relying on him for points, however with a b/e of 12 it's not the end of the world - this week at least. That's how I'm looking at it at least.

And more on Ennis from John Cartwright "for someone to sit behind a microphone & say he's taking the piss & not trying, basically saying he's not having a go, I certainly take issue with that."
I just pictured a couple of Housos heading around to collect tick.

Thats an unprofessional response filled with emotion. He's not helping the situation. The only way to bite back is Bryce play good football and earn his paycheck, cause it's clear to everyone he's not, even coming from me who rated the guy.
As for his comment on sitting behind the mic and talking shit, he does know Ennis played the game right?
Spot on mate. I really like Ennis nowadays, but I do however think he was a bit over the top. Carty is obviously playing like shit and shouldn't be missing tackles like he is, but Fantasy aside IMHO he needs to be given a settled position in the second row.

Not yet for me. Just need to make a choice as to whether to play him in your 17 this week.

Taupau captain too. Yes he's slightly overpriced now but with the reliance on him in that manly pack, I chose him over Fifita as he's got Gallen coming back and a knee injury he's battling with.
Who are the post round 13 bye trade ins?
Harris is a lock for me. Struggling to think of many others. Maybe cotric or croker?
Personally spooked at Ray Martin being named at Lock. Will probably still bring him in.

As a precaution I'll probably bump Martin up to my starting 17 and Rein in the EMGs - looks like Rein out the door next week.

Don't think you need to sell rein with his be this week, he'll probably still be in the 17 but I wouldn't play him as a reserve. Deciding between Sau and Martin as my last res this week

He's a better bet than anyone right now I reckon (price wise). I'm willing to take the punt on him given the chance he retains an 80 min edge spot. None of those going round as his price! You can live with him in your 17 if you have to as well (which is the situation I'll be in this round by the looks).

I've already done 1 trade (Arrow to Taumalolo) but my 2nd trade will be a choice between:
(a) Sorenson to a ctr up to 559k but I'm edging towards Capewell even with his poor security or
(b) Sorenson to R. Martin but I'll have to play Isaako at ctr
On Rein if Peats is named in the 17 I will bring Su'a into my 17 & put Rein in my emergencies.

I'm shit on defence but I put my body in the way at least. If I was getting paid and playing in front of people, I would be making my forward pack run at me every training and then make trainers stay after hours to keep running it at me until it's too dark. I'd give my left nut to be in his shoes (it's my smaller one so not a big deal)

Being a New Zealander where being pc is always being shoved down your throat I love watching the Aussie league shows where they take the piss out of each other, do outrageous comedy skits & call it like it is on the performance of players like Cartwright.

FWIW I am buoyed immeasurably by the news that Jimmy the Junkie is swapping sides.

I am too because I have Roberts in sc but with the Broncos left edge being their favourite attacking channel then Roberts could emerge on the nrl fantasy radar again.

I might just play Isaako. My 2 worries heading into this round were playing Thompson & Isaako & having 2 poor individual scores but with Thompson scoring 39 I'm not so worried about a potential low score with Isaako.

Interesting re Fonua
Steve Zemek
@stevezemek
Interviewed Mahe in the sheds last night. What a good bloke. Eloquent speaker. One of a kind. Admitted he was dropped during the week and wanted to make most of it after earning a reprieve. Game needs more characters like him ????
