Is Jazz missing time? Wouldn’t be trading him out otherwise if I had him, at least not yet. I think he could avg 50+ to the end, even when Harris comes back.

I have Wighton as 18th, depending on position required and budget may be better options but I think he’s pretty good.

Reckon it's better to trade out Martin + Carrigan for N. Brown + 212k? Somewhat reluctant to get rid of Carrigan as he gives pretty good FRF cover at a low price, but really need to get rid of Martin and I don't have the cash in the bank to do a straight upgrade.

Pretty gutted I flicked him as he did v well for me as my WFB3 and was cementing his spot as my 17th man. His benching scared me off but managed to pick up N.Brown so won't complain too much

I might trade Twal to Fainu if Twal is named on the bench again. I might trade regardless because I'm feeling he is on a gradual decline.

If Watson goes back to 80 minutes and Verrills continues getting 80 minutes for rest of the season I will be a happy man on Fantasy.

What Waco doesn't have his own

80 minutes of Watson at hooker pretty please. Hell I would even take him starting in the halves and switching to hooker through out the match just so long as he is out there 80 minutes. Pretty pretty please

Is Martin in your top 17? If not why the rush to get rid of him? BE of 30 so not like he's going to dump a heap of cash in the immediate future.

Officials from Warriors v Eels dropped

So does Cameron George avoid a fine because he was right ?


I want to be there when someone tells Sticky.

Mann is my 19th mann. This is not good. Should still see a spot on the bench for sure.

I dunno. He's been horrid the last 2 weeks.

I think he will be a red dot for the rest of the year. Would make my 17-21

Walters (or other NPR)
SST (whoever I trade him to this week)
Drinkwater
Mann
Brittain

Staggs is a 25 to 65 player who has hit his ceiling twice in a row. I wouldnt count on him maintaining 2 tries per game, and we have the Storm this week who will dominate us. Even if they dont, their left edge defense is the best in the comp

Oh wow! I'd given up on it but looks like I squeaked home by one point, sorry/not sorry Rectangle!

Tough gig up against MTB this week. Teams very similar, looks like I need Tevaga to be fit and you need Milf to put up another score despite being the Storm. Good luck!

Yea mate was a close game, well done and good luck against MTB!

Surely about 10-12% of the 14% of Surgess owners are people who give up after two weeks?

Probably more.

What % are actually actively playing? I’d guess maybe 15% regularly and another 30% max a bit more casually or at least making it to mid-season before packing it in (Haas has 40% ownership)

On the other end I’d say at least 15% of players never even updated their squad before R1 (Kennedy is in 15% of squads). Maybe even 20-25%. With roughly the same amount giving up in the first few weeks.

Fuck that’d mean Lino to 6 and Watson to 9 for sure.

Dammit I sold Watson about 2 weeks ago after his score of 20 at fullback, then of course next week he scores 76 at fullback, then he has still been getting good minutes off the bench which I didn’t think would happen.

Oh well I still have 4 trades left so if Jazz is out (he’s having scans on his arm today) Watson could be another option there, especially if he’s at hooker.

In regards to people wanting to bring Fainu in I still think he could just get the 50mins and score 40-45 points not quite keeper level, I think Api will get 30mins off the bench still or start the first 30 before Fainu gets the last 50.

Based off my gut feel Watson starts this week, whether it's at 9 or 6 who knows but he has to be starting.

If I have to trade Jazz out due to injury should I wait a week and take Verrills score as 18th man and then reassess options or should I go to a boring option like Jake Turbo or Matterson or what do we make of the Parra POD options in Ma’u and Brown?

They give up after they realise they've been sucked in again haha
