    As tempting as it is to jump aboard the NAS express, I’ve decided to go a different route. Just hoping I’m Nat Butchering my steady, upward climb over the past several weeks.

    I don't know why everyone is so worried about Matto at 5/8, in 2019 (his most recent season where he played in that position) he averaged 60

    Any plans on getting Cleary back into that side?

    Oloapu to a cash out then upgrade someone else is an option. Maybe even one of the WFB to Trell post origin

    Not sure who goes for Cleary but I think a combo of byes/injury/suspension will answer that for me. He’s not back til R21 ish anyway

    Wests Tigers have announced John Bateman as captain this round. They considered naming David Klemmer as co-captain in order to translate.

    Tukimihia Simpkins is not playing and has not played all year, I don't see why everyone keeps mentioning him.


    Hehe. Now it's going to become reality. But also I wonder how many will accidentally pick Simpkins over Simpkin.

    Is there any case to holding Moses this week to see what happens with Origin

    Based on my Origin luck so far Hynes probably makes Origin 3 in a dead rubber

    Sounds good for him getting 80 minutes at lock.

    Anyone else held Bird?

    Kinds want to flick him but defeats the point in holding him all this time.

    At the start of the season, when you only get 2 trades a week, bad luck can easily blow out your rank. It is very much rich get richer to start the season. If you don't have injuries, and your team is scoring well, you also get to save trades and have the luxury of picking up missed cows. When your high value players are getting injured, that isn't an option.

    Without bad luck, I would have been within top 1,000 after week 2, (decent scores from Ponga and Talau in the final game of the round would have ensured that, instead of early injuries), but because I was playing catch up with injuries and couldn't trade them out fast enough, my rank blew out to 20k.

    Good trading since has got me back to 1,800 rank.

    It would be naive to think that there isn't an element of luck involved, and bad luck is a killer. Fortunately have mostly been on the decent side of luck over the Origin period, with the teams named, but still getting hit by injuries that are wasting even more trades.

    To paraphrase

    "Fuck I'm great, just ask me"

    So, I know it is early in the season - and there is a lot of water to pass under the bridge - but who do you reckon is the lead candidate for the Excessive Glorification of One's self (E.G.O.) Award
