Nat has these games in him, where he just doesn't get as much base for whatever reason. Did the same thing against the Dogs a month ago and look what his next 3 scores were.

Have faith, brother

I was kinda banking on him moving to the middle with NBrown starting LK.. yeah that potato isn't playing much more than 45 mins

Got my 50+ average from my 5 lads today so happy as and we move on to tomorrow

Missed VTW being a late in this week. I still trade him to Fifita right?

Yep, I'm going ahead with this trade mate.

Bit annoying since he still has some money to make. The bye next week and the fact he doesn’t seem to have won a spot outright means he probably should make way

No disasterous scores so far but nothing to get excited about

NAS, Manu, robson meh

Manu, Meaney, and Garrick all get a pass mark considering none of them scored a try.

Robson slightly below average but okay.

Big guns tomorrow, sleep tight.

Preston, Grant, DCE, Manu, NAS.

Like you said nothing terrible but yeah a bit of a vanilla day out

I should’ve went Robson to Grant ah well can do it next week.

No way I’m not getting Fifita bye bye Boyd hello Fifita.

Probs gonna hold Preston now after his 64 today. I’ll need Cleary too next week looks like only way I can get there is via Hopgood without wasting another trade so he will have to go.

My biggest miss of the season for me is not owning Drinky.

I’m currently 7/414 with 10 to come tomorrow. Own Brimson too I’m a bit concerned how he backs up from origin.

Just went through the FOG League and lots are running multiple loops this week so I assume lots must not own Haas and one of JDB or Horse to be running such complex loops in a week where many are struggling to just field 17.

Ended up going Haas, Turpin, Simpkin, CNK to Grant, Ming, NButcher and DCE. The non MIDs pretty happy with but little disappointed in Ming and NButcher. Unfortunately needed the cover this week. 7 trades left and 150k to work out how to get Cleary, Fifita and maybe Haas back.

540/10 and Bula's loop to come in. Up to 398th overall and my first time ever in the top 500

Preston should of got a second try, very unlucky and 66 is a pretty bonza effort

Plus 1.
Unless there’s news that Fifita is out before the Dolphins game.

Am I the only muppet that’s pre traded in cleary?

Awks

SJ had the baby as well. In case it hasn't been reported yet.

My other option is Simonsson to Cleary. Only problem is if VTW keeps getting messed around then there goes my CTR/WFB cover if he’s not playing

If we are sharing scores.
The Bludgers are having a pretty good week (so far).
7/434, Manu's 48 being the lowest score.
Knowing how Fantasy works, someone will get an HIA early and stuff up the round.

I think I’d have done it for sure if all the Penrith origin boys were playing with him. And as of now we still do not know if Cleary is playing or if he does could Cogger stay in the 14 meaning Cleary only gets 65mins or so as well.

I can understand the appeal of Cleary, but there’s no way I’m bringing in a guy at nearly a mil, with a BE around 100, first game back from a hamstring injury. He’s definitely a wait, watch and re-assess.
After I bring back Haas next week, Cleary is the final missing piece, but he can wait.

Nice! I missed all the Saturday shenanigans, but I did quickly check my team on my lunch break this afternoon to see, at that time, I was at 400 something. Currently sitting at 625 with 8 in play on Sunday. Hoping to see more positive results on my breaks tomorrow.

Was my thoughts all week then I disregarded sense and went for broke

Too late to change back

Made my bed and I shall lie in it one way or t’other
