@Bullbender did they give you your FuCKing KFC yet or not?

If anyone in Sydney wins some KFC, I reckon you should share some of your bucket with me.
Can talk Chicken wings and nugs

Possibly. He has three 70+ minute performances, for 54(with a try), 38 and 37. However, in that third game he was on track for a bigger score, but had to move to the outside backs to cover the Mansour injury.

I'd still guess he isn't a keeper, but he could be close to one.

All depends if I want to risk playing TPJ or trade Lodge to Rein and chuck him in the reserves and see if Murray plays.  Torn between Gossie and Rein, but probably should trade one in to bank more coin but can always do it next week perhaps.

I think if you are bringing in someone to play in your 17, not a terrible idea given concerns with TPJ and Murray, it would have to be Rein over Gosie. And if you are thinking Rein I think it is this week or not all with uncertainty with Peats' injury.

How long is Peats expected to be out of action?

4-6 weeks is the official line, but the club is hopeful for 3 apparently. I'll be happy with Rein getting 4 weeks starting.

Small sample size of playing large minutes matches but the potential is there, what i like about Kikau is his ability to post an absolute monster score, should go in the 42-45 range consistently with the odd 60-80, should be able to push himself to around 50

latter part of season I'd rather Kikau over Surgess if playing prop, mcguire and the other similars to be able to post that big one which can edge you up the rankings

Thanks. I don't know if he's a cheap enough cash out option for me and worth the trade for potentially only 3 weeks. 

I'm thinking about going Griffin to Su'a. If I do that trade I can upgrade doughy to either Munster or Gutho. I'm learning towards Munster.
Also, can I check something. Last week I started Doueihi and with him not getting any game time he became DNP. I didn't have any other halves on the bench. My understanding was that I should have got the points from my 1st auto emergency (that happened to be Havili's 48pts). However this didn't happen. Can someone clarify whether I should have got those 48pts? I emailed fanhub querying it but never received a reply.

This week is a tricky one to be offline. I'm out in the bush with Stew again all game days this week so can't do any mind-round tinkering, and I don't really know who in my team is actually going to play this week.
Have made and reversed so many trades and am not really convinced on any of them. I am just going to have to abandon my team now and cross my fingers that I don't lose too many ranks this week.

**Probably unpopular opinion time**

I fully understand we all enjoy fantasy, we all want advice on our teams, forum is great etc etc.

However, I'm currently about 10 pages behind as I was out today so I'm catching up on them all. I'm seeing a lot of posters posting trade ideas, despite already being given advice and then them saying "Thanks for the advice, I'll make those trades". Then before you know it 2 pages go by and they are asking about new trade ideas, or even worse the same bloody trades. It's annoying.


Probably unpopular opinion, but just wanted to get that off my chest...

That's just fantasy mate haha!

@Finch

something new for you to ease your ills

one player in each position you are hoping to grab after 1 or 2 more (realistic) price drops

No, if your DNP is in your 13 (HLF in this case) you would need a HLF on your interchange or emergencies to come in otherwise you get 0. If however the DNP is on your interchange the first emergency comes in and can be any position.

Ok, thanks. Damn! I was getting excited about that extra 48pts and it never came.

I don't find it annoying at all personally. Everyone has their own personality on here. You know I'd turn for you mate, but you are the first person who has mentioned it for along time, so yes, it is an unpopular opinion. I don't think anyone should be discouraged from posting in the way they do, unless it is contrary to the spirit of the forum.
