Pretty sure for years I've seen Tigers fans talk about how crap Liddle is so I'm not joking.

It's not about his ability Milf, it's that he's always injured, like, almost always injured.

I'll probably be wrong but Souths might miss a bit of go forward with Sam and Tom both out.

They're lucky to be facing a team like the Panthers who can't take advantage of it but Cook may not get the usual room to work with. At least that's why I captained Lolo instead.

So first week as a Matterson owner went well. That try was fortunate not to get checked but hey I'll take it.

Fair enough @Milchy @SI

Farah chronic back injury definitely playing it's part. Can tell during games now.

Better night than last night. I'm okay with Captain Lolo's score too, other than that my main H2H captained Fifi. But it's not too bad.

Arrow makes me want to weep openly, but we'll see how that pans out. I want to keep the guy but this might make it hard. A lot of good straight swap options could see us part ways. Although, I've used all four trades this week so I really feel like I need to be super conservative from now on. I hope Origin and the bye make Arrow hold-able.

On third week of ownership, thank fuck RTS finally delivers. As I've said previously, I can 100% see his worth as an Overall player, but never again in H2H. He is definitely not built for H2H, but I will take his score this week and even apologise to him for calling him RTShit (until next week, lol). But yeah, he's done well this week and made me smile.

Until I see the Arrow situation.

Got rid of Farah this week for CS9 too. Looked sketchy for a moment there, but I think I've done the right thing.

Need to be ready if Murray doesn't play

Why wasn't it affecting him in the first two months when he was playing 80? Conveniently the week I trade him in he starts playing significantly less minutes.

My end plan is Tauapau on my bench to cover 2RF/FRF issues, which is how my team stands at the moment.

I know you have your finger on the pulse, but is this common knowledge mate?

We must have got him in the same week. I am bummed about it in hindsight - should have just gone straight for McInnes or Smith. But oh well, one lives and learns. With all the issues that came up this week, I was tempted to hold Farah by the end of today, but I think I'm at peace that I got rid of him. Just too much mindfucking for my liking.

Yep, same; although in my 13 this week, makes a great Fantasy bench player.

So need a good rookie or low priced player preferably one that plays round 16 and can play as a back up on the bench for rest of the year as I just short of getting CM9 in

Apparently there was something on 2sm this arvo saying he was out, so take it with a grain of salt.

Asked a question about maranta earlier.....think my desperation made me forget who he was!!!!! At least the Rein to Matterson trade wasn’t the complete clusterfuck my other moves have been for the last two rounds

With the Arrow situation, I see him in my 13 in a fortnight too. Unless Arrow's out for a while and I trade him out.

Although... if Fifi is out too, that leaves me a bit short, doesn't it? lol.

Grand plan in trouble...

I assumed Maranta was a young rookie with a familiar name, but I assume we're actually talking about the old timer who used to play for Broncos? Is that who it is?

I think 95% of high-ranked players who have both would have captained Lolo over Cook this week given the last three weeks and also a favourable-looking matchup vs Wests. It was certainly the sensible call, so can't really regret it even if Cook goes huge.

Anyway, 315/5(c), mustn't grumble, avoided the carnage last night. Nikora still owed 7 points (he's on 46 on the NRL site) but everyone owns him so whatever.

His back was ok then because he knew he didn't have to carry your team...

I do need to cash out either Dearden or a Lomax though, would prefer someone rd 16 relevant or wfb relevant, was thinking Carrigan.... any other suggestions or hold until next week
