I was happy to relive it

Keep your chin up mate, you beat me by 3 points this week (I got 812), though I'm still ahead of you overall by 52 points (went from 10449 to 8360 overall).

I think you can keep Doueihi if he doesn't get moved next week, his BE will only be 65-70 which he is capable of hitting. Remember what happened when you sold Uto after one bad game.

I'm probably trading Egan Butcher to Turbo in one trade and not making another one unless I can get someone good for Trindall (but even if he doesn't play I may just keep him for looping purposes)

Thanks and yes you have had a strong start as well to set yourself up for a good season. Issue with Douiehi is Sheens in his presser says he’s gonna have him play some FB he doesn’t score as well there and it’s Sheens we are talking about. To me Douiehi is a sell and his running game didn’t look at its best today carrying the foot issue as well.

E. Butcher is going for me I can either get Wilton who I rate very highly and just keep playing Ford as my third mid and not really having any cover for now besides BMM, or I can go E. Butcher to Leo Thompson which gives me another mid and he should make some cash. So yeah I have a decision to make.

833 alot better then I thought after captain hopgood and warbrick and loiero stinking it up. This places me just inside the top 1000 for the first time this year. Need to figure out what I'm gonna do with teddy since I need a back. While trying to fix my halves problems.

800 on the nose

Upto 3338 overall.

Cheese to Preston worked well and holding Cleary and the second trade feels like a great move going into next week.

Looking at EButcher to Robson this week. TLT to dictate second trade movements

793 with a total of 17 green dots in the team

Having to play the likes of Doorey and Katoa in the 17 wasn't part of the plan but they put in a good showing.

Looking Ford to a couple of players returning

Nah. He has another 30k to drop (maybe) but I kind of need a hooker now. He's still value, you don't have to buy at the absolute bottom of the market.

Api or Starling instead?

God no. Can't see Starling getting 80 and not going anywhere near the Tigers now (especially their one Origin player). Will run Boyd for another week and then go for an underpriced Brailey or pony up for Robson, we'll see.

97 points from my CTRs is a welcome change

Praying I don’t need to spend anymore trades in CTR for a while with Bird Alamoti (Thompson as backup, noting HSS will lose spot soon when Savage returns)

E Butcher to Bird and Doueihi to SJ I think, hopefully Hynes is another week away?

Updated to 911, which is 184th for the round. 927 must be very close to the top indeed!

How good would this be? One more week, one more week

974 the highest score this week. 927 just outside the top 50, which is still amazing. As is 911, well done!

Fitzgibbon said he’s back for R4 in the press conference

Ahh all good, oh well it was fun

Cheers. That's good (but also kind of bad that he's carrying a niggle).


Mahoney's kicking is a bit of a concern but surely not the norm.

Burton going to be priced around 45 which is pretty decent, you'd have to accept the up's and downs compared to other halves but there's not many Doueihi replacement options that jump out at me.

ARey and Moses both feel very much a case of buying at peak price. SJ the standout but we all know the injury risk.

Trindall's BE will be low enough you won't have to trade him out straight away if he's benched. But you won't be able to play him in your 17, and you might only get 1 week of leeway

Probably still a negative BE next week, so can eke out a little more cash on the bench, but, as you say, not playable.

Is there bookies that will give odds on Api not playing Origin because that's free money

Teig Wilton had 17 hit ups and 41 tackles, guy is a workaholic

The week after this I’m going to bring in Brailey and big Friz

Yeah he's a machine, had him to start last year and was always nice to see how involved he was.

Annoyingly I got scared by the prospect of Graham taking minutes off him this year and the plethora of edge options didn't help either. If anyone needs an edge (unlikely) he's still a good option
