Yep, I scored 1006, despite 9 scores of 45 or less. Hopefully they improve this week.

Well done Matt, I love your optimism!

Wondering if it’s time to say goodbye to Tino

Titans byes are R13 and R16, so exact weeks when Origin 1 and 2 is on. So for Titans, Origin doesn't matter until game 3 it's really just whether you want to hold them or not. Don't own Tino, but my initial reaction is he's a guy you could sell between now and Game 1.

The flipside of this is Titans that don't play Origin have a clear run from R17, which is the earliest for any team

looking to move on Preston and was thinking i have plenty of edges.

Just realised I have moved on soo many id be down to Hosking Ford and Couchman.

Preston Katoa Loiero Carty Hopgood all moved out.

Fifi looks the top guy but his price is getting up there now.

Looks like people are going Young as a Edge option but I suspect a big selling point is his Bye schedule.

For a head to head player pay up for Fifi or still save the 158k?

Head to head is definitely Fifita IMO

If you’re H2H then Fifi is great cause his byes are on origin weeks

I’m not fully convinced on Young’s consistency this year

yeah he is way cheaper and they averaged the same last year which is why i was keen but looks like young declined and fifi gone up a notch so the price gap seems justified

Score just updated a few points higher than expected. Must be getting close to lifting.

957 and up to 1663. Hopefully Grant and Haas will be adequate replacements for the Miller and Crossland band next week.

Think I’m ready to accept defeat on the McInnes punt, if the minutes were there he’d be a great asset but it’s just not gonna happen under the coach. Think he is an easy trade to Horse this week.

Tempted by NAS, would be a really fun player to own. Has lit up the field every match he has played this year, but long term data seems to indicate that he will be very up and down with his scoring. Has anything changed this year to suggest otherwise?

Was all set to go Mahoney to Robson this week but feel that trade can wait at least one more week.

Have a look at NAS big minute games at the end of last year. He was playing the same hybrid role as this season, mostly MID in defence, mostly EDG in attack, with some huge scoring then as well. Sides just don't know how to handle him. Was on for a monster score vs bulldogs before getting injured, carving them up every play.

Lockout lifted

Finucane back this week

Biggest winner fantasy wise from BHU injury probably Hazleton.

Getting the in form players in a week or two before other definitely qualifies as momentum.
Went from 880 to 926 with updates, can’t remember them being that generous to me before.

BHU is out for a bit though. So possibly Finucane to prop and leaving McInnes at lock.

Don’t own so not overly concerned

I am holding McInnes. Need a change on the bench, playing 4 MIDs, with all getting minutes, or he would be going great.

As starting lock, even with that bench, if he averages 50 in 50 minutes, he is still great value at his price.
