Sad I'm already thinking this, but I'd stick him in my halves and see how Katoa goes way down in my EMG and slot Boyd in front of him if Katoa does what he always does, every single week.

I did that tonight. Just wish I'd done it the other way round with Kodi/Katoa. Those extra 7 points are half of what most my players have scored this weekend.

I also played Niko over Katoa so now obviously I’ll play Boyd instead but 7 points is 7 points

Yeah, defo. I figured I'd be playing Boyd no matter what, but yeah, I'd prefer those 7 points for sure.

When is the last time that 2 halves in a winning team scored less than 50 combined? Maybe never?

I refuse to look at my teams score because it’s atrocious

I did enjoy the game, dolphins were dogged in defence and cowboys were the opposite of clinical

I guess I'll just cop Warbrick's score. Whatever cheap back I trade in for Carty would need to go large to be worthwhile at this stage. $2k short of BMM to AKP, would do that otherwise, but hopefully the saved trade pays me back later.

7 for 341 no captain yet... finally a good start to a week with Latrell, Hammer, E Katoa & E Butcher all doing splendidly.

Unfortunately Ese'ese is sitting down in position 21 but hopefully he can keep on pulling off PPM specials like today (or playing more than 35 minutes) Having him off the bench is great. Scores much better like that. Thinking of trading out Tohu so I can avoid I Katoa's 28. Not keen on Matto if he is playing LOCK. I am still not sure which way I will go

whichever centre i put in my emergencies seems to go off...

2 weeks ago I played alamoti and Lemuelu for 30 and 48 respectfully. Had HTF in my EMG for 56.
Last week played Hamiso and Lemuelu for 28 and 36, with Alamoti in EMG with 47
This week played Alamoti and Lemuelu for 18 and 32... And yep had HTF in my fucking emergencies for 65...

The Cowboys are truly atrocious. Uninterested, no spark, no nothing. The Dolphins did everything they could do lose that game in the second half. Any other team, besides the Tigers and Raiders at the moment, would have scored 40+ in the second. Alas, The Phins keep showing up and getting the 2.

Analysis:

Gilbert is a machine. Truly heart and soul long term for The Dolphins. Effort all the time. Hypes the boys up. Takes hard runs. Always ready for the unexpected. Get him long term.

iKat played well, considering he has to run the team at such a young age. His score could have been 15+ more tonight but some drop balls from his passes meant points didn't translate. Again, sign him long term.

Hammer proving everyone wrong. He's on the ball. Has a great short passing game. Nimble again. Only going to keep improving. Needs the tries to remain fantasy relevant, but they keep coming - ride it!

JMK severely underrated. Stepped up tonight. Takes smart runs. Shows some shape. Defends well in the middle. I'm having a look at him as a second HK whilst he is still affordable.

Aitken showing some promise. Getting more involved in hit ups. Alternative to Bird?

Cotter is underwhelming. No punch. Seems to have lost a bit of his x factor, although that seems the case across the board for the cows. Overcooked in preseason after a big 2022?

Hess a decent look for fantasy. Will play 80. Good byes. Shouldn't be in origin... may make a play for him, nearly did this week.

Taumalolo back to 2021. What is going on? Just seems uninterested and not leading by example.

Finished work to see that I’m 273/8 and have whatever BMM craps out in his game.

No offence but surely HTF is a pick and stick centre?

Wallace out next week due to HIA so Herman should see some decent minutes and output

Probably is... after round 3 where he scored 38 with a try i started to try and predict when hed score tries and so far Im 0 and 3. not to mention last week where he scored a try for 65. Definitely not making that mistake again alamoti can ride my emg, but knowing my luck hell pump out 3 straight 50+ scores.

Am I missing something why would trading out Tohu mean you avoid Katoas score?Is he rulled out again? cause that might just be the final straw in me deleting the app

Is Leo Thompson (548k) (Knights) worth a shot. No idea how long Tohu's injury will go on for. He seems to have a solid big minute MID role and decent PPM.

Any reason why I should not?

Means I could upgrade a 500 k ish EDG to Hynes in one trade

Tohu didn’t travel for this game

Tohu is out this week. If I had not have switched him from a starting spot at the last minute just before the game I would have gotten Ese'ese's score but in any case, I do not know how long he will be injured for so I am thinking of doing a cut and run

You can still switch Harris back into the starting spot for Hopgood, Ford or Uto and it wouldn't give you Ese'ese's score. If you do switch him back and trade Uto or Hopgood for a non-mid, you would get Easy's score for Harris.

There is a video of me in serious mode chanting South Sydney on Bunnies tv if any of you check it out I’m banging on the seat in front of me too it’s on Bunnies TV you tube home page.
