No way id touch him now, feels like he has been maligned so much on here he will never ever be in my team

Im having trouble getting rid of him even after all the talk! Most from myself I couldn't bare the thought of running 2 middies but JWH really stepped up today so I might give him another go! Either that or I'll decide on Wallace/Musgrove tomorrow! Leaning towards Musgrove for extra cash and great byes

Welshy wrote:@Finch what you do with DSaifiti mate?

Still currently in my team. However...

If he bombs again this week I may not have enough $$$ to turn him into Wallace. I think the safe option is to trade him into Wallace. If I had more $$$ in the bank I would keep him for another round for sure.

Probably trade him out, just know he can post good scores though.

Bloody hell you guys.

So i finally got home from vegas to notice the likes of gurgess ponga scott stimson so lacking the cash cows atm and dont have much in the bank.
Decediced this week would be
gurgess - wallace
hodkinson - lamb

Mccines brailey
JHW wallace kaufusi
JDB mannering buhrer sironen E.T
cartwright lamb
smat coitric
hayne rts turbo

npr ezye stimson elgey higiano idris scott pyhhlian ponga with 14k

Anyone else feeling like they dont have much room to move atm without downgrading a gun

@Welshy post your team up and your two trades for the week and we will make a relevant bet.

Reception around Burrum is pretty good (at least with Telstra) - I've been working at Woodgate this week with no problems.

Smith, Macca, JWH, Kaufusi, Musgrove, JDB, Surgess, ET, SMat, Sironen, Moses, Lamb, Talakai, Moga, Cotric, RTS, Hayne. Trades were ATaylor - Jack and Saifiti - Musgrove

So for the first time in years I managed to somehow avoid doing a panic trade (of sorts). Happy I held on to JWH.....and my trades

@theweapon do I hold on to saifiti??

I assume by your avatar you are a Knights follower, or you lost a bet lol

Python to Moga looks good.

Did not have any playing last night so dropped a bit in the live rankings (now 6,794) but good news is that it was a pretty low-scoring (fantasy-wise) affair on Thursday so hopefully crank out some big scores for the rest of the weekend.

Two YUGE games tonight. Can't wait.

Or you could bring in Maubbs

Great advice pre-game

Haven't posted for a while but have read every post though. 2 weeks in and I've already managed to stuff up any potential chance of winning the overall Thursday match day by forgetting to lodge a team last night. No players last night but this time last year had 7 Roosters, how time changes.

Shocked to see Keary and Pearce's ordinary scores from last night considering their influence on the game. Pearce def in with a chance for Carter Award with a -18

I am indeed...it has been a rough few years!

D Saifiti was a bit of a worry fantasy-wise. His minutes were reflective of what he had last season, but he didn't look very involved defensively. I'd probably move him on. I can't see him making a massive jump vs. last year in terms of fantasy output, and his bye coverage isn't good either. I think there are quite a few better options at the price or cheaper who will earn you $ to make a jump to a gun later in the season

Cheers for the input mate. Have been doing some reading and he seems to score at PPM less than 1 so playing 40 minutes isn't going to cut it.

Looking good for this round after the 49 from JWH. Good hold there. I reckon Ash Taylor will score more than 45 points this week mate but I guess you don't need a third half. Who is your 4th half?

Agree with Saifiti to Musgrove/Wallace trade that a lot of people seem to be doing.

Why is everyone into Musgrove? Just seems to be a run of the mill 40 minute player who doesn't provide a lot of attacking stats? Am I missing something?

Hi all, this is my first year playing so apologies for the stupid questions... Am I still able to trade out Phythian for someone this round (other than Roosters or Bulldogs obviously) even though the round has already started?

I guess for about 80-90K less you are scoring the same 30-40 points as the other midrange props I guess is the appeal.
Personally surprised people are going with him instead of Wallace with their trades though.

Yes

Reports that Hopoate went to hospital for severe concussion and could have skull/facial fracture but not sure yet. Coupled with injury to Holland (shoulder) could see Marcelo Montoya and Brad Abbey come in for them both next weekend.
Those trading Pythian to Burns/Jennings could hold off and pick the best one next weekend once you have team lists and know the outcomes of injury.

Making me doubt my Pythian to suli trade now as I don't see him scoring above 25s most games but at least should make money off the 52 he scored last week.
