massive dart throw that is mate

played 2 full games at CTR , one with a try, 2 games with big TB numbers, could just be an early season run.

He's definitely got the game for fantasy, sideways running playing slapsies, but would be a HUGE win if he ended up a GUN in the CTR position over Bateman/Nikora or WFB over the elite Tedesco/Ponga/Turbo/RTS

More of an 18th man cover

I have very little choice mate.

Can't see him going above where he was without all the KM he will probably lose, but more running opportunites

Bring back MattNZ

Nah sorry to @Ben Marlin. Communities live and die on contribution and you’ve actually a good addition. I don’t even know what people’s issues were with that Matt fella anyway. Because he liked differentials? Anyways I shouldn’t have got involved with the hype

Moving along...




What happened to that survey VK was running? Any link/results?

It was rigged for sure.

I reckon verbal kint is actually Fiona.

With the Hess injury especially reckon I'm going with Taumalolo for captain this week, thoughts?

If I didn’t have Smith, I’d be going Lolo. Still might.

I've got Smith but reckon Lolo plays 80 with that Boy's pack so puts him over on Cam I'm thinking

I'm thinking of captaining Cook (c). Souths have named a strong side & they'll be keen to get back to winning. Also Cook will be feeling good after the origin win.

If I had Cook I'd be captaining him

Twal and Brooks.

If I go Twal, ponga will be moved into half this week.

I think Twal will score slightly more points but depending on your team and cash Brooks might be a better option

What I'm saying is, it wouldn't make him a GUN just one of the next best options

At his price for what he may be able to produce, could be the best of the rest

Fair and yeah probably didn't word it properly. If Bateman and Nikora weren't atound though probably would be a different story.

Matt Scott could be a late in but probably doesn't affect Tolo's minutes that much

This would be my team after round 16

Cook
Fifita Haas
Murray Taupau Taumalolo
Milford Moses
Nikora Bateman
Tedesco Ponga RTS

Smith
McInnes
Matterson/Twal/SST
Mahoney

To’o
Carrigan
Brittain
Cashout?

I guess the answer to a solid 18th man would be no but I guess 2 trades could be used somehow to upgrade To’o if need be. What do you think?

Probably just keep Fifita

Eyeing off crichton for round 16 (over SST and Twal)

I wont have much of an 18th man.. looks like it will be Staggs

I personally think SST is better than Crichton and Twal

Taking out his injury game he is averaging about 53 which is higher than the other two

Twal currently 5th best FR option, based on averages (52) Fifita, Haas, Taupau, Klemmer
Brooks currently 9th best half option, based on average (50) DCE, Ponga, Moses, Milf, Cleary, Hunt, Arey, Munster

Twal will score more overall than all FR other than Haas due to extra game (at current averages)
Brooks will score more overall than all halves other than DCE, Milf, Munster (at current averages)

Agreed, however Tauk has a few injury issues over the last few years, higher ceiling, lower floor than Twal

Crichton has the highest Ceiling, due to previous fantasy pedigree but worse form (so far) this season

100% correct

Just keep in mind that DCE has lost the GK so his average will drop
And Munster MIGHT get rested after origin 3

Hmm but then I will be relying on Havili or To’o for this week,not sure I like that idea that much. Need to keep my ranking I feel plus boost my round 16 numbers

What happens later in the year when one of you players has a season-ending injury, you will be relying on To’o since you don’t have many trades
