I was obviously just over exaggerating for effect. Of course there’s a way, and numbers suggest it should happen

Just like a fiery debate and some doubt about a round 16 asset I won’t own

Actually looking at Matterson now ahead of those two and deciding on the WFB/HLF after Origin. I'm thinking NSW doesn't include Matterson in 17 so could take risk but will likely just pick SST who I was getting next round to eliminate risk. Think Matterson is more likely to maintain average and then can decide on any WFB or HLF for run home regardless of byes

Give me a good reason to go with brooks over shaun jonson and i will

Shaun Johnson has played 80 minutes 6 time for Cronulla with an average of 44.3
He’s also a little bit injury prone

Luke Brooks has played 13 games for an average of 49.8
He is the opposite of injury prone (hasn’t missed a game for the tigers in the last 2 years)

That being said though, Johnson is a proven fantasy gun and is VERY cheap. High risk in the fact that he hasn’t performed so far this year but high reward getting a possible 50+ scorer for 550k

It depends on your team but the safe option is definitely Brooks but if you are happy to take a gamble then go Johnson.

I just think SJ is going to be central in a lot of our teams given he could be keeper/18th man for 550k just to facilitate other upgrades for final 17 given he is should be around 170k cheaper than Brooks for R16

Wat about scotty drinkwater. Think ill give him a gamble.
Him or SJ cause id like to use kmann or martin to cleary when he returns. So yeah use SJ or Scotty 4 18th man.
Only hard bit is deciding between the two.. and then there is cust as well.

Rothfield saying Knights expecting Klemmer to return this week

Bit of Tigers bias creeping in...

IMO don't know if Brooks will manage the same points vs other keeper HLFs (Milford, DCE, Munster, even non-R16 options like ARey, Moses) or TTurbo (if you play Ponga HLF) with Tigers facing 8 top 8 teams (Souths, Roosters, Eels, Raiders, Knights, Eagles, Knights and Sharks) and 3 bottom 8 teams in run home (Cowboys, Bulldogs, Dragons) - should get solid base but will he get occassional attacking stat to boost score, happy to be proven wrong though but won't pick him at 725k

Anyone else disappointed with the lack of a Welshy explosion last night after Friz wiped out Ponga and then scored shortly after?

Pick up ya game mate

Was at my boys cricket match mate was watching on my phone downing some Thatchers, so attention turned to the cricket after the game

What a fucken BEAST though, Friz has been such a weapon for NSW since he was introduced

Thatchers? What's that? Some sort of Make-England-Great-Again Margaret Thatcher supporters beverage?

I remember playing Welsh cricket as a young lad. We'd bring the boundary ropes in to the inner circle and games usually ended with scores of 87 wides to 83.

Good times.

If Brooks keeps up his current average then he gets 548 points

If Milford keeps up his average then he gets 595
DCE isn’t goalkicking anymore so if you exclude those points then his average drops to 52.4 which would get him 524 points
If Munster gets his average then he will get 551 with the possibility of getting rested after origin 3 which would put him down to 496
If Reynolds plays this week and gets his average then he gets 531 points but he is injury-prone and may not even play this week
If Moses gets his average then he will get 536 points
For Turbo to outscore Brooks, he will need to average 54.8 - he has never averaged above 50 in his 4 seasons in the NRL. James Tedesco has only averaged above 54.8 once in his 7 seasons.

So if I was to rank them it would probably be

Milford
Brooks
Munster
Turbo
DCE
Moses
Reynolds

But you need two halves so that makes brooks a very good prospect.

It's Cider An absolute delight infact, they are not used to a parents skulling cans on the boundary line at county level apparently

Extras are wild at under 10s mate even at the county level and the good balls are the ones that get hit, madness

Good points.

I'm looking at Matterson ahead of the HLFs at the moment (54.7 average, 601 points if he plays all 11 games) and then deciding on HLF/TTurbo (by playing Ponga HLF) post Origin which means averages/total projected points won't be influenced by extra game

Matterson vs Milford is the most marginal of differences and you'd think Matterson is more likely to maintain average. In terms of equal amount of games post Origin I think a few of the high ceiling non-R16 players (Moses and TTurbo) would move up the rankings with easier fixtures and good personal form

Haha yeah, we had a maximum of 3 extras per over, then they weren't called after that. I remember getting stumped off a ball that was rolling from half-track. Cunt of a game

I had a Strongbow one time when I was in Europe 'cos it was the only brand I recognised on the beer menu (besides Heine and Grolsch) and swore off ciders. Hopefully Thatchers is better than that one

Matterson looks a great buy
Just be aware of the SLIM possibility of Matterson getting an origin call-up with Graham shifting to 5/8 (leaving a bench spot open)

If you don’t get Brooks before round 16 then he’s not a great buy

There's plenty of that

I love it though and the boys loves Cricket, only been playing since last August far more talented than I ever was.

Strongbow isn't the best cider but most worldwide for sure, I won't say much bad about it having been raised on the stuff through my junior and youth rugby, their cloudy apple version is half decent

Thatchers is decent, I love their sweet cloudy version Haze! Will go through crates of that stuff

From Watson on nrlsctalk talk. He's part of Panthers medical staff. He posted this about Cleary.

News from Perth is that Nathan Cleary appears to have injured his syndesmosis. Scans are booked for 8:30 PM tonight and, if confirmed, he will see the specialist tomorrow.
If he does require surgery, this will also be undertaken tomorrow afternoon. The surgeon we use (who I think is one of the best in the business) says that he will miss six weeks if he requires surgery

It would leave Blues without much cover if a back goes down injured
