I personally just scroll past posts that are asking the same questions that have been asked 10 times already this week.

I'm much more likely to comment if it's someone that regularly contributes to the forum rather than popping in once a week to ask for trade advice

I'm in here a lot more than you would think. I really enjoy reading through all the posts. So many good fantasy minds and information on here that I can usually find my answers which is probably why I don't post that much.

Anyhow, will take it on board and try to meet the quota before posting again .

Dont sweat it EJ. I know there are a lot of folks that mainly lurk, hell we have some that only post once a year to join the league. Dont stress about it too much, most questions get answered and if you have any dont hesitate to ask.

They are for sitting in your 18-21, providing backup and slowly making $150k....that is it

These "bench" mids are primarily my starting mids.

:/ got Tino and Lodge being all horrible in my mids after grabbing Ofa for Lodge after the injury. There hasnt been any solid cheap MIDs outside of Watson has made it rough.

Looking at being a dirty loop. I can get a free look at one of Turpin/Milford and can switch them with Hoy/Walker/Laurie.

Thoughts?

Also could play one of those three over Liddle.

You mean next week right?

Schuster 39, walker, osullivan. 2 from 3, schuster looked good with 41, but 39 doesn't look so good. Be happy with the 39, or gamble with the other 2. Decisions then is walker score or osullivans

Who was the last beast in these proportions that Cleary has become since second half last year

Haas? Even he that level? One maybe for the data boys

I don’t remember as confidently captaining a player almost ever, as him

Given the other 2 options are opposed and more reliant on attacking stats than Schuster I think you need to take a view on the match and if you think either team might do a job on the other. I personally think that Roosters Warriors match will be tighter than most think so would likely leave it on Schuster as uninspiring score it may be

I was taking the 41 score, but 39 just leaves a doubt. Warriors are competing, especially with their pack rolling forward. A couple of assists maybe on the cards for osullivan, but with nikorima the dominant kicker and half, beating the 40 mark might be just too far for O'Sullivan to make. I'll probably stick with Schuster 39, and roll the dice with walker over O'Sullivan, thinking walker gets the share of the kicking duties over Hutchinson and Manu.

I have him

Having just revisited the last game, warriors v raiders, nikorima isn't the dominant kicker, although neither osullivan 211m or nikorima 129m , had very high kicking metres. More food for thought

It's two points take it.

Probably CS9 c.2014-17 when he was knocking out 70+ every week at a time when scores were generally lower?

I guess maybe it was points have changed so that was equivalent. Just find it hard to recall almost expecting 90 out of a skipper, as 70 was floor

Raiders were shattered in the second half and Warriors were marching up the field. Probably meant more attacking stats than usual for both halves and fewer kick metres. Dunno what that means for SOS going forward, really.

I think hass had a 3 rnd average of around 88 some time last year. Soward during the pre tackle break era would be up there.

Makes sense, more ball in hand, higher completion, attacking kicks rather than kicking out of own half means less kick metres.
