Completely my fault.  I have the C on Cam and the VC on Ted so no double score for me this week .  And yes, I was Captaining Lolo.  I actually feel sick that I have cost myself 90 points.  Might catch up with the rest of the thread tomorrow.  Some great scores tonight.

Thats just terrible mate, tough.

Not to sound like a caaarnt, but i cant believe u didnt go for it, seasons half over already, what are you waiting for !

Hampton didnt end up getting on the field, very odd use of Hammo in recent weeks.

Entirely my decision to not bring them in. I knew they had the ceiling but I thought Lolo's floor was lower than previous years(still think this will be the case when McLean comes back). I don't think Taupau will average the 63 he is priced at

I think Taupau will easily average 60 for the year out.

My gut was telling me all week he was worth the money so I hope he keeps it up.

My calculator has Taupau priced at 59. I think he can average that as long as he keeps getting 60+ mins. His poor patch of fantasy scores earlier in the season came from averging 46 minutes overcome the first 7 rounds rather than any poor form or laziness. I think Barrett was being conservative with him so as not to wear him out because he knew hed be playing a bigger part when Jurbo was out for origin. He would know better than anyone how thin they are on forwards.

He has already said that Jake and Tom won't be resting during Origin.

They might not be rested, but I cant see Jake pumping out his usual 80 mins 3 days after origin, and of course he got 0 minutes last night. Taupau to pick up the extras. Had his highest tackle count of the season last night, smashed his average (25) by a fair bit (47). Most offloads he has made yet too.
