Yup, 100% he's a good option, 5 points undervalued roughly? Hard to find value at all now, let alone at a tough spot like C.

I'd consider grabbing him for sure if it made sense.

MBye to play the Titan's 2 weeks in a row in regular season. That's gotta be some kind of record ??

Definitely thinking about him for next week. BE is ~48 and still at CTR this week.

Gets an extra game over top WFB options Ponga, Teddy, Tom and Mbye also, so worth a look in either position.

Now all we need is for Woods to piss off so Martin plays.

13 trades left no Mbye and possibly Martin for 17. Think I have 5 players for 17. Been thinking all week gamble on Nene. 3 next 4 games at home against Eagles Eels Tigers. Rennings scored 4 against Eels on Nene side. Crazy gamble?

Holland starting and kicking is the dream over Hopoate

I'm taking a punt on James over SJ and McInnes.

Gosi>James only trade I've made this week. Don't see the problem. Premium 17 player. Mcinnes be high enough can wait. SJ if no 16 can wait

Chill bro.

You make sweet banners and are ranked like a bajillion places above me. Just try to relax and enjoy the random number generator that is NRL Fantasy.

Sure you are

Second half the Rabbitohs dominated the Eels through shifting the ball around the field. They had most of the possession which meant Brown didn't get to rack up metres and TBs. The injury was part of it but tbh he was making a chunk of his early points from his hit ups, especially bumping Cook off lol

Haha this was the first thought I had too

Not quite the same, but when Craig Field debuted for Balmain Tigers, on the official program he was listed as playing for Manly, their opposition that day.

Brooks potentially the only survivor of the Tigers rd1 spine?

1. Lolohea ---> Mbye
6. Marshall ---> Reynolds
7. Brooks
9. Godinet ---> Farah

Possibility. In fact has any other team had more disruption to their spine?
Fullback been switching between Tui and Thompson
hooker has had Godinet, Liddle, Taylor etc

Crichton is not the first person to bizarrely miss out on a try assist this year

Champion Data gave Crochton his TA, but if people were complaining about fantasy being stingy on TBS last night, Champion gave Souths 21 TBs for the match, but official stats have them on 32

Meh, I've owned him before, not your tackle busting type. Would need tries I reckon, which will be hard to come by at the dogs.

BA reckons he will start to put some faith in some of his younger players throughout the last 10 rounds. Might be some cows popping up.

Back to my Nene gamble idea. Crazy? Priced at 28
