One of my favourite things on here is when people talk about trading in players that people are trading out. Someone is wrong. Not sure who it is yet.

Edit: I hope it's not you, you're vice captain of my fantasy fantasy team.

If I wasn't using fifita to get Cleary I wouldn't have traded him out

I find this funny, Fifita is exiting my team this week for Grant.

Grant should average 60+ from here, 80 minute player, high base tackle count, great team, gets attacking opportunities. Cheap from playing 60 minutes last season.

Was shitting myself not having such a cheap player, who was on 60 after 60 minutes a couple of weeks ago.

Everybody loves Lola, but what I love is how The Kinks popularised a song about falling in love with a transvestite way back in 1970, really snuck it past the conservative masses.

Filth trademarked the Pepsi part.

Funnily enough, I googled to lyrics to make sure I didn't fuck it up, and had to scroll past the first two sites because they had coca-cola instead of cherry-cola. Go figure.

Grant is a good call to be honest

only got 200k in the bank so if i want to go Fifita to Cleary im going to have to dump a decent bench guy

I have Billy Smith who doesnt get me enough cash and Illias the same.

Would need to drop Walters (likely not him) so either Coates or Leno.

or alternatively could just go Smith to Koula and hold Fifita with a big bank

David fifita and Cody Ramsey out

Payne haas and talakai in

Haas to right the wrongs of not having him since day dot (pending any NRL or NSW police sanction)

And talakai because I love what I’ve seen for him and sharks and I will need another edge, plus I expect big scores to continue and dual after round 6

Happy to be proved wrong on talakai but I’m trusting my gutt for once

Coca-cola was the original lyric. The radio version was changed to cherry cola because the BBC considered it an advertisement. However they missed the bit about man-on-trans love

From every angle, it's one of the most extraordinary songs in the history of pop.

Think I've settled on Yeo over Ipap and Haas, the extra cash to get Cleary next week too tempting. avg 59 playing 70+ minutes at lock


If I didn't already have Cook and needing any other position other tha MID I would be getting Grant in

Berry is coming back and him being the warriors best is the only time Mulvy has ever been right. Aitken has done nothing wrong and shouldn’t be traded. Seems like you’re chasing Cleary and I won’t argue against that just because it’s Cleary but they both look bad to me

Well there you go. I did not know that! Fanatics might take the place of The Simpsons for where I learn about popular culture.

My celeb true story is that I used to go to the same gym as Ray Davies in London and (separately) he once stared me out because I almost ran him over on a zebra crossing.

Surprises me that he is only on $450k, very cheap for an experienced NRL half.

Hes an nrl half now?
As I was writing this I realised that it may come across as though I argue with you because I quote you so much.
I was deleting my list when I realised it wasn’t a me issue. You should dedicate some time to watching super league Matt, some uninvested footy would do you the world of good

There are definitely a few dedicated followers of fashion in here when it comes to trades

Ilias time to shine

Imagine if we had the option of Ilias instead of brooks?

If anyone has the time, would love some opinions on my team tracker.

I don't think I really ned to trade this wee but I do have a paid of trades that looks quite nice

Nicholl-Klokstad --> Koula [I have grown tired of waiting for improvement - like a poor man's Fifita]
Ilias --> Cotter [Ilias even if he makes cash is gonna do it rather slowly and in a one-step forward one-step-back kind of fashion - I just really like Cotter as a player and it would be fun to have him in the side so I could watch him with more intent]

Any advice??
