Don't you have Aitken and Hoppo?

2 of the top 5 CTR options?

I don't think anyone has anyone outside the top 5 do they?

Mitchell and Masters combining for 140 last week while mine went for 70.

Most would have those two wouldn't they?

Exactly its a pot shoot each week, as long as you have 2 of the main options what's the bother?

Aitken hit a 70 the other week, Hoppo a 90. An absolute pix and mix, got to take the rough with the smooth

Yeah guess ya right. However surely there is no way Aitken scores more than Latrell this weekend.

Roosters are to good and he kicks goals

Dragons beat the Roosters 24-6 at home earlier in the year and Latrell still put up 20 more

Absolute lottery

has kicked goals all year and still averaging the same as Aitken

Bench of 

16. Kikau
17. Red dot
18. Martin
19. Fainu
20. Arrow
21. Clifford

See how Martin goes on Friday. If he goes good leave him, if not decide whether I chuck Fainu or Arrow Into the 17. Arrow can go big but not sure if minutes will be limited, have a feeling Fainu is 50+ scorer and is due for a tonne of tackles against the panthers pack (Tamou, JFH, Yeo, Kikau, CHN) I can see 50 tackles plus extras there!

My apologies guys! Please don’t hate me. I love you all. Especially rabbits!

A bit of advice please. I still don't have Taupau and no frf cover so want him. I am considering this week going Brimson > Garner. Next week I would then go Fainu > Taupau but I am 48k short for this week. Relying on this MTB's site and predicted price updates I worked out that roughly if Fainu scores 35 and Taupau cranks out 80 I would be around the mark for still being able to afford. So plan sound short of injury I think?

I think you're being a bit optimistic on your estimated scores of Fainu & Taupau. I like the buying Taupau part but I don't like the selling Fainu part. Atm Fainu is scoring like a gun & Koroisau won't be back for a while.

I've held onto Dugan for this long, is it worth just keeping him and hoping he's a good POD in the last couple of rounds, or trade his Pineapple Cruiser drinking ass? I've been playing Isaako or Holland while he's been out, and tbh they've done pretty well, so I could just keep going that way and get Hodgson (SJ to 18th man). Or just get Marsters/Aitken like everyone else

Maybe just keep his useless ass for the red dot, that's all he's good for.  He's cheated you so you might as well use him to do the same.

EDIT: That's actually fucking pointless when Sharks are the first game of the round. He's fucking you again mate.

I know. Best I can do is use him as a placeholder with Isaako and Holland in my 18-21 and at least get a free look at Isaako

Garner is choice. Peachey will go berserk at f/b & Yeo at lock will go berserker. (I know berserker isn't a word but if the young ones can create new words & meanings then I don't see why this old bastard can't haha).

Berserker def a word if u have solid gaming history... is it Doom or Gears of War where they have Berserkers ?

Gears of War.

Immense game, Best I've ever played

I'm liking the Isaako move to FB.

Beserker just makes me think of Vikings

Fun fact: Berzerker is also a suburb of Rockhampton! Of all the towns or cities in the World it has to be Rocky with one of the coolest sounding places.

It's a fair enough posts as it's not asking about how they should be looping to get the best result. It's stating what Trooper is doing within the rules of the game here.

Ah sorry the estimate is worst case Taupau scores 80 and Fainu only makes 35 I should be right to make up the price difference. So it would take bad luck for Fainu to not go 35+ and I get there easily. Maybe best if I just post to give best context. Many thanks fellas 4 trades and 112k itb

Cook
Surgess, Arrow
Martin, Lolo, Brown
DCE, SJ
Aitken, Mitchell
RTS, Teddy, Ponga

Bench
Smith, McCullogh, Farah, Crichton

Reserves
Lewis, Brimson, Hopoate, Fainu


I already have 4 hookers and as much as I am a fan af Fainu I probably have him as 18th most weeks whereas bringing in Taupau he gets a start and I extend my cover for injuries and 2 trades if needed?
