Cook last 4 vs Warriors: 70, 101, 103, 86. Set and forget. If you're an owner

*Trades Cook in for Cleary*

Yes that may be so, but Hynes also got 89 against the Dragons this year and a 70 against them for the Storm last year in magic round.

I'm leaning Cook but Hynes against the Dragons is very tempting.

Hynes is obviously a great captain pick but I don't think this sample of 2 with 2 different clubs playing 2 different positions matters too much.

Dude averages 69 all season, probably all you need to know

Cook or Hynes are both fine. Flip a coin really.

Also surely there's no way that team for the Warriors lines up that way

I quite like Murray too. There's tackle busts, metres, and offloads galore on offer against that Warriors pack.

Uh... why is Klem out? Lol

Means I have to play Palasia in the 17

Trindall at 14 is something at least. Will probably only score a 12, but that's better than 0.

Manly 5/7 back

Think Aloiai is injured but Schuster is 18

He's changed his name to Elie El-Zakhem and will be making a surprise start for Parra this weekend

the Storm back 5 is truly amazing, I have never seen anything quite like it. Truly peak performance right here.

1. Wishart
2. Nofoaluma
3. Seve
4. Anderson
5. Ieremia

(Meaney injured and Olam has COVID)

Looking at Parra side, don't really get why they wanted Klemmer - have bigger problems

Sexton dropped.

Locky Miller now 3rd choice FB for Sharks lol. Kade Dykes named (related to Adam or no?)

Maybe something to the whole Eels move inside Knights HQ

No reasoning on Knights website

That's extremely petty if true. Their job is to win games. Wouldn't put it past AOB though, seems like a flog

Yep, fairly dodgy crew.  Maybe Coates gets a guernsey

He's in the reserves and I hope he's right to play but I won't get my hopes up.

That said, Wishart isn't actually that bad at fullback, he just couldn't catch Nathan Cleary's bombs. He was alright at the other parts of playing FB when he played there last.

Not fantasy relevant, but why do the Bulldogs never name #18 (have #23 instead)? Is this some "the fans are the 18th player" bullshit?

Bit reluctant to captain  Hynes, in case fitzy pulls a game day swifty with Dykes

I had Pompey as DPP cover. Now he's not even available. I have Klemmer too. Couple that with my others out and I have 15 available players this week.  

Alright screw this, I'm done for the year. See you next year if I decide to even play again.  

BTW I used to post here previously under the username Johnny B Goode. Think I'd tried to ditch the forum but couldn't resist ranting about fantasy so I just made a new account ha.

Google tells me "the Fans" have been jersey 18 since 2007
