Thank Christ someone else other than me doesn't have Teddy.

Actually saw a facebook page about this last year. People finding out players were going to be promoted from the bench, then chucking $100 on them at $50 and then cashing out when their price moves to $13 etc. Pretty sure a lot of comments on these posts were betting agencies banning them from the site. I guess they must've worked out a way to get around it by just making everyone's price as if they were starting.

Hey mate do you remember what page this might have been?

Gee, happy after last night. Sitting in 426/6 only disappointing scores are Crichton and maybe Mahoney too

Would have been on Renegades or Rogues, as I saw it there too and I don't check many other groups.

Imagine it would have been shared in quite a few places though

Rein might leave my team but he'll never leave my heart

Don’t worry he’ll be back next year for the same fantasy stint whilst peats is out or dropped.

Got 391/7 - pretty solid

JFH - unlucky was set for 65+, Garrick - tad bit disappointed in him as he only got like 5 extra points in 50 mins after he scored (mainly because Manly imploded), Ponga + Tedesco = electric, Rein = love, Taupau looked solid early as well

Knights game was an absolutely cracking game to watch as a neutral

Glad I picked up D. Walker. Upset I ignored Pearce & didn't even consider he would kill it. To me at this stage of fantasy there are are a couple of player combo's that I'll be jumping on sooner rather than later:
(1) Cook & D. Walker. When Cook scoots out of dummy half he always looks to link up with C. Walker
(2) Pearce & Ponga. Pearce 100% dominant play maker & always bringing Ponga onto the ball where he carves up

I only have Cook & Ponga. If C. Walker isn't picked for origin he'll be in my team for round 12 & round 13 Pearce will come into my team. The form of Pearce making people think he could be in the origin frame. I think if Ponga was a Blue then Pearce would be picked due to their club combination but I think Pearce may be overlooked because Fittler is looking to the future. Don't get me wrong I hope Pearce does get picked because atm he's probably the form half of the nrl & if you're picking on form he'd be one of the first names picked.

Ponga is so good, it seems bashing him out of a game is a clear tactic

Think I am going to be a tad short in going Morgan > Pearce next week .

Captain played?

If it were surely you’d do it when you’re only 8 down or something

Levi I feel really sorry for. Lately he's been in sparkling form & his play from dummy half is part of the reason the Knights turned around their season. The poor bugger seems to have a body that always breaks down.

He must of captained someone that's an average of 71.

Pearce has the bye next week anyway.

Thanks DK bit early, haven’t had my second , may be able to swing something than.

Who would you play as last reserve. Thoughts & thanks in advance:
(a) Lawrie or
(b) H. Young

I'm currently on Young because when I watched Lawrie last week he looked tired & now K. Sims is back he might get a longer spell & play less minutes. I know Tapine is on the bench but I think Young will still play 60+ minutes which is a lot more that Lawrie will play. Young could even play 80 mins if Tapine is rotated through the middle.

Tricky.... although it reads like you've decided on Young anyway.

Edit, forgot to answer the Q. Leaning 58% towards Young

I doubt teddy receives the same amount of HIA's as Ponga.

I thought my 393/6 was killer. Well done mate

I’ve got Pearce, Ponga, teddy, Mahoney, Taupau, rein so far. Did you pick up Tyrone Roberts or something?
