Isn't Lewis injured now? Wakeham was my plan B if Pearce had been rested tonight and my main concern was definitely Lewis' return over Foran because we all know that if Foran is back next week, he won't be back the week after.

Made an earlier post about needing a cheaper WFB option than Burns to fill in for Turbo this week (and as a future 19th man). DWZ was top of the list but I went with Gutho. Tinge of regret over that decision already...

Is he? I’m not sure I haven’t been really following much lately. You’re right about Foran if he plays next week he’ll have to have a few off. 

I’m Only running 15 this week. I only have two trades so I’m taking the hit. Had Shiba to Turbo in but with his pull out I’ll just keep the trade

I wouldnt be surprised in the slightest if RTS, CNK and Burns fail to match Watson collectively.

Just when I thought I'd caught a trick with Watson at FB he scores 50 above his average there this year

Personally think they were both deplorable. No money on this game, not a Knights tragic, I tipped Knights but so did everyone so doesn't matter, and the calls didn't really affect my only player Watson. My verdict: Knights were fucking robbed.

I suspect if you pick up Bowen, you will be very, very disapointed.

I could be mistaken, but yeah, I thought Lewis came back through reserve grade and got injured there and still is now. If I understand correctly.

I would have preferred to play with 16 this week but sadly have too important a H2H to throw it away without a stab at it. Will be very regretful when I inevitably lose it anyway, though.

I have a confession to make lads...

It's a tough break, but he was always going to put up a decent score there at some stage, it's the nature of the position to some extent and only a matter of time for someone who's game is tackle busts and line breaks. I almost picked him up at the start of the year, but in the trials Pearce and Ponga were just too dominant. In the week you were deciding Deardon vs Watson (which was just unlucky) I picked up neither. I decided even though it was rd 13 I still needed money making and brought in Kenny and To'o for three weeks even though they didn't play the bye because I thought they would make more in three weeks than the other guys and could then be cashed out at the bye. But Watson dropped his BE with a big score, proved himself at hooker and so I got him the following week with a view to make money and put up playable scores for a few weeks before trading to a post bye gun. I don't know why I'm posting this, perhaps just pointing out that a lot of the Watson owners (like me) only brought him in after his big score for the price rises, short term coverage and rd 16 scores. The week you were considering Deardon v Watson was a 50/50 and you got unlucky. Enough said I guess.

I had a serious look at him at that price but he sadly didn't cover the positions I needed. I wasn't sure and didn't pay enough attention, though, as to whether he'd get as many minutes as last week. I assume he's just been benefiting from outages like the current Fitzgibbon one?

I hate sounding like a cunt, but if Too is in your team, and you’re actually claiming some credit for that.........I’m just going to laugh scornfully. Hahahahaha

Please....."

I brought Watson and Hughes in 2 rounds back and it was the best thing I’ve done all year. It will win me the big dollarooneeesss!

Piss off. Sounding like a cunt is one of your favourite pastimes!

What about Watto?

I just knew he’d end up the ultimate POD.

As usual, I’m right.

Watto is the difference. Let’s just leave it there.
