khany and Rev SI alts confirmed!

Now that you mention it has anyone seen Revs and SI in the same room at the same time?

Has Cody dropped, or was he just over achieving end of last year?

Don’t rate him

Surely he would be better than 31 avg or am I clutching at straws here.

I have to sell Walters so instead of TMM I am looking at Cody.

Looking at the first bye. Who are the must haves?

Thinking of Mann/Randall to TPJ/Tevaga. 

Probably both cop a suspension in round 12 haha

BUT Randall to Talakai is another option. I keep telling myself the Talakai ship has sailed but Sharks have such a good draw coming up and the ctr dual is hard to ignore.
I know people refused to jump on Turbo last year and it really hurt them. Is not jumping on Talakai gonna be the same thing?

Your final point there is echo'ing with me.. especially as a non-turbo owner last year

Following the earlier “Barrett asked my permission to pick Flanno”, im not sure I understand the coaching structure at Bulldogs at all. Seems untenable.

Lolo and Curran (if he's back in time) are the main ones, then there's borderline guys like TPJ, Burton, Cotter, Tohu (depends how his return goes and when he gets back), Aitken, Angus (if he doesn't get picked for Origin).

I don't mind those buys, but I think it might be better to just single trade Mann to Jazz and hold the other one, I'm not convinced TPJ is worth it. Jazz is at least cheap enough that he'll make money between now and the bye if Tohu's back in R12

Yeah I feel like it’s setting up as a single trade week.

Any further news about Aitken yet?

Agreed. Picking a Tiger who will score well when the team scores well just feels like going for a dance with the devil, and Randall has only had 1 poor score.

How quickly you forget last Saturday night, boys night, standing room only rendezvous

So what has changed with Nofo ? on a lucky streak or Hastings presence has something to do with it.

Its funny how that works with some halves where the team goes well so do their points
Thats the thing with backs sometimes, a few injuries elsewhere and the team suffers along with their scores
Sometimes you just got to ride it out and hope for the troops to arrive or the form to come back

Name these players

63,54,37,36,31,34,31

45,61,44,25,38,33,8

Mate I appreciate the nice comments but it's like anything in life and not a contest
Anyone who has met me at the meet ups knows I am not chasing glory, just to have fun and perhaps get better and share in the experience
There is a lot to learn in real life from this pretend game we have invested part of our lives in
Perhaps that is why some things are said to help others, bounce ideas while others are lost in written context

But people change, look at the flavour of the week Jackson Hastings

One of the things I've grown to really enjoy about Fantasy is the community of players and all the different perspectives they have that you can learn and grow from - particularly in terms of tactics - the diversity of strategies/styles I find really intriguing.

One consistent thing I've always seen with great players is their ability to lead the game, rather than be dictated to by the game (i.e. anticipating good trades rather than following/reacting to what happened last week and what might be this weeks must-have shiny toy).
Some years it doesn't pan out, you can have a run of poor luck in fantasy, but eventually class wins out and those players will be in the mix most years.

Anyway, in this regard you've always been one of those posters that when they talk, you take the time to listen, and you notice when they are gone (you most of last year, Verbal this year for example)
So for what it's worth, post more.
