STATS (ie fantasy) had him on 49.

Do we still care about the extra missed tackles?


* Supercoach doesn't provide run metres or kick metres stats, so I just used the Fantasy version there.

they use fox sports don't they? their stats page has those as 29 and 50 respectively, so it would've been 45.

Kikau > Brittain if named. Decided that if an 80 minute forward scores 20 or less then then they are gone haha.

It doesn’t matter. So long as they are both available, they can’t pick Kenny.
Thanks my understanding of it. I don’t quite understand how it works if only 1 is available, I assume it means he’s free to play.

They had to get permission to play him tonight from the NRL as at the moment he is still on a dev contract.

Same thing happened with Verrills at the roosters earlier this year

Seems like the NRL are pretty lenient when it comes to playing dev players off the bench, i remember last year we got into a weird situation with Staggs where they wouldn't let us start him at centre, but he was allowed to come off the bench.

I know he's been disappointing, but keep Kikau for any Round 12 points (he probably shouldn't score in the negatives, but I know you won't be holding your breath on that). I'd be finding another downgrade for William Wales

Of all the players I could have picked, I'm pretty sure I got the absolute worst!

The thing that bugs me about Supercoach is that in a game like tonight where Sivo does bugger all for 72min, he still scores 58. I do OK at SC, given that I don't spend any time on it, but I look at scores most weeks and just cannot fathom them.

So Waqa Blake knee injury, ? Fui fills in?. Frankenstein ? suspended. Chance for Martin and more importantly Sele for rd 12???????

Not sure who to get for arrow

I got him last week and thought it was a masterstroke. If I knew then what I know now, I'd not have done it. Wish I has Smith instead. I assume you have him already?

Taupau, AFB, CS9, Farah, RTS

I wouldn't be trading him in this week. Terrible idea really, doesn't play round 12 and has those risks you mention. But if I had him I wouldn't be too worried just yet, I'm convinced he plays the last 20 at lock. I'll be looking to bring in round 13-16.

Could be worse,you could go for Parra

Yep. No worse way to be.

I predicted the Eels would play the Panthers into form. That sure as fuck didn't happen - they are both absolutely horrendous. But the end result could not be more predictable.

Being an Eels fan is like a meat cleaver lodged in my face.

Yeah, I hope so. I'm not distraught over my choice as I think he'll still score well, regardless of what happens. But probably not almost $800K worth of good point scoring.

Why JFH why my brother. As you lay there on the ground semi concious 1 word popped into my head.....manus. You were on track to go large.
Actually that Gower is a hard man. From memory it's not the first time I've seen someone come off second best trying to smash him.

He was going PPM without attacking stats; was in for a huge score.

Reckon we can get a Wake Up Call to Sele's mobile this week? Would be very helpful to have some of his points for Rd12

Can confirm. Put a few good hits on me at training back in our highschool league days lol

AFB averaging (discounting injury) 53.2 vs Marty's 52.3 but almost $100k cheaper. My only issue if I grab him, my 2RF cover becomes Young. Also, he's been suspended and injured already this season. High risk. Also it means my final team will have 3 FRFs in it, Fifita, Haas, AFB. Should I just save the trade?

Halves: glad my preseason Munster call pulled off so far. But do you guys think it's better just to wait for DCE as second half and play half roulette? Could get ARey this week but thinking he is0 a slight downgrade on DCE

Thought it was an absolute genius call, he was going 60+ easy

In retrospect, probably haven't lost out getting rid of Lawrie for him as they'll score similar. Just hope that he gets through HIA protocols during the week because R12 was the main reason I got him

At least he copped it after scoring 40+ rather than 15. Looked like a decent wack but he'll be alright
