    Hope so, plugged him in from R1!

    POD picks are so silly early on. So hard to nail it. While he's been fine, there's no point having a decent POD score a 55 when the more popular cheaper pick goes 60+. I regret going him over Fog but what's done is done.

    Sometimes I look at the 'top gainers' on MTVBs site and think about the dudes we don't really talk about and why they weren't picked

    Eisenhuth $125k - history
    Ronaldo $120k - Mid range outside back
    Mann $115k - Bulldogs Utilities x 15
    Henry $101k - Injuries...honestly thought about this one but thought he'd get SFA minutes
    Kerr $98k - Tries, Flanno
    Townsend $94k - Hair
    Flegler $91k - Went for Smithies due to bye & SOO & novelty of new shiny thing

    Any good oil about re Hosking/Whitehead? It would be frustrating to flick the Hosk this week only for him to keep the starting spot for a while longer.

    Was going to do Hosk to Gutho.. and that also gives me cash for Hynes next week...

    There's always some random back that starts the season on fire, eg Mulitalo this year.
    Hard to predict , and generally not worth it long term.

    Henry benefitted from the JFH injury. Maybe slight value without it, but a bit of luck to get where he is .

    I was close to going Flegler though

Somehow, difficult to explain properly, but somehow Rabbits whole attitude and immature outlook has me wanting to block. Just move on, stats are missed or incorrect for every 2nd player in the game. Just enjoy Ur player running around and statting it up, only if u were paying a meaningful subscription fee would u expect more 'on point' numbers. Go donate to footystats and seek a  (something sumthin'). Could be the turning point for you.

    It doesn't help, so many people quote him so you see it anyway.

    Leaving for a couple years hoping he matures up doesn't help either. He's as insufferable as ever. I'm not surprised the forum is quieter than before.

    I wish we had a one Rabbits club rule and reinstate the OG Rabbit.

    Decent team of juniors who ended up finding decent roles at other clubs out there - also Garrick, Saab, Sailor, Ford, Robson, Sele and Lucy before they returned this season... sure there are many others. Which would be fine if we weren't then buying fringe first graders to replace them

    Robson the worst of the lot IMO. Left to get a permanent hooker spot because he was stuck behind McInnes. Who was promptly moved to lock

    I'd probably go through with it if it means you can get Hynes next week.

    I’ve currently got Lane in to pocket some more cash for a potential Hynes play

    Could run Cleary Hynes together from R7 but my mids are still rubbish…

    i guess theres more to it. having other guys like lussick/smithies/kiraz around that might be better off out of my team in the next week or two, instead of the Hosk.

    but if the hosk is benched with whitehead back, more frustration..

    anyway, no real answer here.

    In that case, that money can be used to spread across those spuds to upgrade some more mids across the park.

    Like teh Cow, I was looking pretty closely at Flegler pre-season.
    Wish I could say it was Smithies that I chose (even though he did end up in my team) but no, I had to caught up in the Leniu hype.

    As the poster with the most posts here, I will say, there's a few personalities here that makes it less appealing to spend as much time as I normally would, unfortunately. But saying that, it's a me thing too. I've been through a few personal changes the last 8 months that puts things like fantasy into perspective. I'd rather come here and have a laugh with you all as opposed to having people big noting themselves or nitpicking every stat. It certainly kills the atmosphere.
