He carved up, won’t have it that easy again, but played well

Cheers mate. Probably looking at Kenny to bring in. Turfing Hodgson - probably going to average about 40, but need some cash generation.

as good as he is risky picking up a guy coming off a injury. Rather wait a few weeks.

Cleary Boyd probably influencing the pickup id say.

Carty Party over by Round 6 it seems if not earlier - enjoy the price rise while they are there

Could almost work in Carty's favour, less likely to try to find a short term solution for rounds 4 and 5, can just leave Matterson in MID.

782 for me with decent updates from 0.5% POD Brooks and a few others

Had Ponga, Ford, B Smith & Hodgson so I will defo take that. I won't have the competitive advantage of captaining Chopgood next week so I gotta think of something new. With the Roosters bye maybe it will be Cheese to Preston

NRL.com hasn’t given the Sea eagles their bye points yet, so Dolphins are leading the comp from the Dragons. Round 5 gonna be a blockbuster

Do you not own Hopgood, you wild finned madman?

That is how I got to 782 Chopgood C wont be a POD next week

A pretty ordinary score, but 811 somehow moves me into the top 20000 from 45000. Gees there must have been some truly bad scores out there this week!

Brailey in a couple of weeks at 600ish

Lots of potential doomsday scenarios could hit on TLT and beyond this week. Some a lot more likely than others but none unthinkable:

- None of the HIA gang (Ford, CNK, Ponga etc) back up

- Hynes returns. Trindall to 14/18

- Cheese out injured or playing injured

- Boyd dropped

- Talau dropped/injured, Doueihi to centre

- Milne in for ITT

- Sims in for Loiero (very unlikely with NAS out, but seeing as we're dooming)

- Hastings suspended

- Drinkwater suspended

and the certainty that Cleary/Garner/Kenny/Luke are on bye

Cleary is a problem, I guess?

Also have Boyd/ITT/CNK

Will defo give Boyd another go, although Storm next week hmmm - Perhaps will be dropped anyway, doubt it though

Can play Alamoti instead of ITT

Also have Trindall, and if both Trindall and Boyd of them are out as well as Cleary bye I'll need to do something there

Yeah guess a Cleary trade out is worth considering this week. I'm unlikely to do it though. He's had next to nothing in attacking stats and still averaging 40 this year, I think the scores will come. I'm probably going to hold and hope that he/Panthers find their top gear and he bangs out some banners after a few have traded him out.

Got Boyd and Trindall as well, will just have to wait for TLT for those two. Boyd was bad, but I think he got rattled after a few errors. Was very tough kicking conditions. No errors from the Dragons but they have the legend Bunt kicking for them, so no surprises there. Im hoping (expecting) that Foran and Holbrook build his confidence through the week because he's a very talented young player, has potential.

ITT and CNK nothing to worry about long term. CNK has a 7-day turnaround so could play if he passes protocols. ITT had a horror game with Cleary putting up nightmare bombs for him all game (the one thing he did that doesn't translate to fantasy haha). I was actually looking at ITT last week, still like him.

All in all, definite concerns moving forward, but also hopefully potential in all of them. At least we don't have Ponga I guess! Silver linings!

He honestly looked great. Very dangerous in the middle of the field, reminds me of how Robson plays in attack.

I don't know if anyone cares, but Mulvy jnr#2 is still top of the family comp.  And when I say family comp, I'm not talking mum, dad and 2.5 annoying ones. My family comp has nine and the wife's family comp has 13. Most of us are adults even. He's two clear ahead in both. I'm pretty close to letting him decide my next fantasy conundrum.

Edit: he tipped Dragons which is why it's relevant to quoting you

I'm coming dead last in my school tipping comp of 30 people, and half don't watch footy. I literally have gotten every 50/50 (in my mind) wrong this year, and am on 6/16. Send your youngings tips via PM this week please, I would love to use them.

Will need to wait until team lists to assess but thinking with certainty that BSmith and Ponga have to go

Earlier than I would have liked to go with a WFB otherwise would just grab Teddy at a discount. May just plug Turbo back in then loop TMM/Talau again(if Talau is fit) so I'm not forced into choosing a particular player

Can then aim to grab Teddy after the bye and hopefully another price drop

@Teeth Eater awesome post and summary.
