Its Brennan. Doesn't have to be decent. See Cartwright.

What can go wrong

Good to see you back to changing your mind every page again. Have you considered that it could have been behind your ranking slide this year?

I was going to hold Arrow but even if he plays Round 13, he's bound to see reduced minutes.

Arrow to Lolo. Get Cleary or Reynolds in (Whoever isn't the 7) next week for Flanagan. Gives me around 10 for Round 12.

J.Roberts will be playing for Wynnum-Manly this weekend in the ISC.

Seriously considering Arrow > RTS and complete my WFB line of Teddy, Ponga and RTS but I see CNK getting a good score at home to the Cows this week so not sure on that one.

Might just get the best player I don't have averaging the most in McInnes. Or Farah. Or Smith.......

Arrow to RTS locked in for me.

Tolo will come in for Burns or Capewell.

Watched the Rabbits injury update from 3 days ago. Still said burns around 85% and said a week or two away but they way old mate was talking he was very vague. Made clear they are not rushing him in any way and will take extra care. Seems as though even though his recovery is taking longer than normal, with Rabbits on top going into the backend of the season, they want him 100%. And in reality they don't need to rush him back. They way he was talking, he's a very valued player. Obviously Wayne's call to hold him back and not rush.

If Carty can jag 45, I'll take it and trade Capewell, if he flops, I'm not confident in Dearden or Lomax and think Capewell can bounce back like he did last time, as long as his finger is sweet. haven't heard much about that.

This is my personal opinion but I think some people are putting too much stock into what threat Liddle poses to Farah's minutes and what if scenarios.

On paper the only time Farah has come off for Liddle is when they've absolutely whooped an opposition team and can take it easy. Farah has had a HIA affected score of 8 and he's still the 4th best fantasy scorer, only 11 points behind McInnes in 2nd.

The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for non-Farah owners.

I am bagging a Sharks win on Sunday with Lomax getting some decent kick returns and a few TB's from the rushing defence. Also picking Rabbits v Tigers as being the highest scoring fantasy game this round.

Just got caught up on the thread. Missed a fair bit of banter I see. Last night's game was terrible
we made it to the Party Thread and we're not even halfway the season

Thoughts on selling Arrow for Matterson ?

Arrow could get reduced minutes and scoring output with his niggle and origin coming up.

Matterson - Consistent 80 minute player with attacking potential. Benji back too which could help with that.

Really wanted Taupau but he just isnt getting the minutes

This is why I will be riding him through some low 50's and he will be straight in come R13. If it is seen that Liddle will affect him then I'll just bring CS9 in. Moral of the story CS9 or Farah will be my first trade in come R13.

People gone cold on cotric ?

I have seen some mock teams being thrown around with RyMat getting a bench spot.

If I trade Capewell, I'll play either Xerri or Lomax, not sure. Lomax isn't that great under the high ball though.

Yeah but zero % chance I'll stick with it!

Strong chance of origin.

Xerri isn't that great with any ball being tossed his way.

I think it has more to do with starting with Radley, BMoz, Holland and Edwards and putting to much faith in them to turn it around. Probably held them too long.

But if you think it's because I like to look at all options before diving in then hey why not.

lol yeah true. And Capewell isn't that great with any bodies coming his way too. 3 way lose!

I've heard Matterson's name get mentioned re origin as a big body utility first off the bench. Apparently Fittler wants a big body on the bench.
