That was me and I traded Murray.

I saw his score and just had a laugh really. Looks like a poor decision, I have made a few good decisions recently but my desperation to get in Cook made me make a rash one. Try not to get upset about these things as they happen in Fantasy but Fuck!

Damn, unlucky mate. Murray might put up a few 40s and Twal chips out some mid 50s to claw it back.

I'm a fan of those attacking weapons like Murray, Matterson, Taupau etc. big scores when it goes right, but can be downers some weeks.

I was reading the Titans forum earlier in the week & Copley was saying after Brennan got sacked Meninga & the other coaching staff told the playing group basically if you don't pull finger you will be joining Brennan. Copley then said there was a noticeable lift in the training intensity, they had a full on contact session with no holes barred & everyone ripped in. So I'll be interested to see whether this will transfer into the game today. I'm expecting big things from my boy Whitbread today at starting lock. In his limited minutes he's been going at 95+ ppm so imo if he gets 40-45 mins he will score around 40 pts. I could loop in Xerri's 31 pts but I'm confident Whitbread will beat 31.

Gee this poor bloke in sc has the following in his npr's - Nikora 103 pts (me too as played Xerri), Cleary 98, Kerr 62 (irrelevant because you would never play him), Naden 104, Staggs 92. At this stage of the season in sc you have too many player choices because in sc it's so easy to stack your team & sometimes you choices can come back to haunt you. Me I had both Nikora & Murray in my npr's & I'm spewing so this guy must will be having nightmares.

Would be funny if he ended up needing an AE, and ignored all those scores to pick up an 11 or something.

I have Nikora, Naden and Tauk on my SC bench, but get Fifita's 13 and Cody Walker's 26

someone earlier asked about kick metre records.

The biggest I could see is Ben Hunt 752km in R24 2015. But I don't have good stats going back prior to that. Soward in 2010 would have had some monsters

@ wackos - Cust will not play today due to concussion, D. Walker to 58th & Parker ctr.

A player saying everyone ripped into training and lifted the intensity is practically like saying all of them trained the house down.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The strip is great! If you’re too simple to protect the ball, that’s your own problem. Coaches will teach players to try strip it, they’re also capable of teaching players to protect it.

Play Fainu I say. Those 3 points might come in handy.

I see people asking whether to take like 32

Such a waste of time agonising over. 30's? Nah, roll it. 40s? Could be hard to resist if looping a back. 50+? Just take it..

I'd take 40 for a back easy. 45+ for others. It would have to be against a gun that I wouldn't bank a 50.

I'm not against looping per se but aren't y'all in a great position to have EMG's putting up 50+ scores.

The only EMG's I even have playing are Mann and Carrigan lol so I'm pretty much ride or die with the 17 I have.

This week I just had Carrigan playing in EMG because Munster got rested

At least Munster directly replaces Fifita if suspended and potentially Carrigan gets more mins with Flegler suspended next week

Brooks is shit.

I'll just leave that there

@Liverpool_Bulldog 
How did you get failhub to downdate SST to 49? Did you have a night out with Fiona? 
I'm impressed. The lengths you would go to to win an avatar bet

I may have done something I'm not proud of.

Hey lads,
I was out all arvo/night yesterday so didn't watch any of footy. Just checked the fantasy scores from yesterday and look set for another 1000+ score. You little ripper. However, whats everyones opinion on TKO, scored a tried in limited minutes with a score of only 49. Wasn't he playing roughly 55 minutes per game rather than 40ish minutes a game a month ago. Is he a trade?


Also up the mighty Raiders

Spot on, as it is now it's a joke.

I wouldn't be counting on him to be too helpful. I'll probably end up looping him in some form if possible
