    shit, didn't realise the Panters v Warriors game kicks off at 2:30pm today. Rolling Eyes

    Seriously, these guys need to stop with the copy-paste mistakes. Feels like there's been at least one error in the team lists each week for the past month or two.

    Everything I've seem shows a 10pm NZ Time kickoff

    Filth is well aware what time the game kicks off.

    He was just complaining about shoddy standards at NRL.com

Would you do DCE>Nuikore if I could do a 2 trade cashout upgrade on remaining cows for a gun and Martin say 18th man. Have Arey SJ Mbye Lewis Doueihi halves already. That strategy leaves me 2 trades or not worth it.
    So Nuikore is in your 17?

    Two reasons for that - Lino loved to take on the line but tended to do a lot of the work himself and take the tackle whereas SJ either broke the line and looked for support or threw a pass to put someone through a hole.

    The other reason is that RTS scored his 90 while SJ was playing. His highest score apart from that was 62, almost 30 points lower and he's only scored 50+ four times.
    So if you think RTS will score more than his current average, you're probably expecting a big score to come rather than him to score well each week.

    I did score without highest and lowest outlier with SJ 90 and 24 and still 48.3 avg in 6 games

    I hadn't considered NZ times before. Makes me feel very very slightly guilty bitching about kickoff times.

    Bugger it if I'm getting SJ I may as well get RTS.

    Wish we knew more about Ponga, I suppose if I trade out Tuala then Ponga will still be there to trade if we hear worse news.

    If I sold DCE yeah doesn't sound great. Could just do straight swap for Doueihi if he doesn't end up CTR

    We suffer if you're a fan of any sport played internationally though. Just seems silly ever having the warriors playing in an 8 oclock game.

    The worst thing about the later kick-off times in NZ is that it's 2hrs further into drinking time on a Friday night so drunk trades are a real problem (or at least they were for me Embarassed )

    Origin kicking off after 10pm on a weeknight was tough too.

    So much this. I'm thinking of going home first instead of after work drinks with usual crowd otherwise I'll be slaughtered by kick off

    there was an injury update on tuesday on the knights site, basically they were hoping for 3 weeks out. seemed like a 'best case situation'. it would be no earlier, you would think.

    Warriors 3 of next 4 Broncos Dragons away Storm home. RTS scores unaffected by quality of opponent?

    I would have thought the worst thing about kick off times is you have to be either a kiwi or living in New Zealand for them to affect you.

    Warriors tend to love playing Broncos and Storm too. Have done well against them in recent times. Not sure if that rings true for fantasy though.

    Only real thing stopping me from getting RTS instead of Cotric is if Latrell out next week my only CTR is Holland
