You know what, maybe take my initial comment with a grain of salt.  I paid top dollar for Peachey to sure up that position and needing a centre this week, it didn't work out....this week.  I'm going to try and make a habit now for the rest of the year to not pay top dollar, look for alternates first.  (I realise it's just one week and Peachey will be a top centre for the year.)

Don’t feel too bad about that one, that is probably Peach’s floor and was partly due to injuries. He also offers Mid cover which will be handy this week with Kolo out

The trade is sound mate, don’t go back on your judgment. He’s round 13 gun and likely top 2-4 centre players.

Yeah, I'm actually toying with the idea of running Bird and Niu and using Peach in the MID's.

Yeah, I'm okay with it, but it sort of relates to what Chewie was saying with chasing the scores. Even if he rips his team a bit to get Pappy in, you know you've got an elite keeper.

Unless I see something I love to trade Kolo for, I’ll be doing the same with Nui & Robert’s.

Was looking at Bunty but he got himself suspended as well.

Yep, seem to remember about 110k last year.

Interesting, thanks for the reply. I never see NRL fantasy advertised and prizes don’t compare to SC, surprised to see such an uptick in players. Hopefully continues, it’s much better than SC.

Hey buddy it also goes the other way as well. I decided not to pay top dollar for a MID as one of my 2 trades this week. I had money for Angus or Tohu, but decided save some coin and go with Elliot instead. Backfired, guy went from averaging 64 across the first 3 rounds to punching out a 39 over 80 minutes. At least with Peachy (as mentioned in the post just before) had to move into the halves for injury cover, so take that 30 score knowing he wont play every game in that position.

Need a good MID. How does Isaako>Tino sound? Very tempting fixtures 3 of next 4

With the way prizes work wouldn't be surprised if people had 3 or 4 teams

My first 1000+ of the season! 1087....

Last year my final and highest ever ranking was 6962, I'm currently at 1555 and I'm getting a nosebleed from the Altitude!

Wonder if Tesi Niu gets the try save given he saved a try
30+ looks so much nicer haha

Don't be daft. It's called Fantasy because it's not real

Haha true, points are like the show 'Who's line is it anyway'
Can't remember the drew carey line but I am sure the next pg51 meme party will use it

after updates my final score is 1022, could have been a lot worse.

Thoughts on Sualii? I might sell Hoy to him, for the following reason.

Worst case scenario he's a base price dual position looper

Best case scenario he gets in the team and makes money

With the lack of remotely good cheapies at that price range, I'm considering it.

Where everything is made up and the points don't matter. 

Though fantasy is more like: where the points are made up and everything matters.
