Any reason or just a massive punt hoping it pays off?

Just someone who can go huge if i fancied an end of season punt mate

As things stand, looks like your Murray/Moses/Matterson vs my DCE/Jurbo/Turbo, though there are some loop things either of us could do. Should be close... depends if the Warriors turn up.

You reckon and play SJ as 17th man?

Klemmer just makes the bench look better or at least feel better lol

SJ is good enough to play in the 17 I think. Most have a dodgy 16/17/18

Yea plus he's either in 17 or starting regardless lol

Klemmer just feels so 50+ safe, but i guess I preached about Munster over Arey so might have to back myself.

Does SJ, Moses, Munster seem too, boom or bust, i 2 falter i'm going low, but I guess only 1 needs to go HUGE to offset

Exact same as my halves combo lad. I would like to grab DCE as a 4th half but not worth moving on one of my hookers or losing cover

Brown and Graham might be good options in that price range

Already got Brown. Graham I hadn't really considered. There's no real standouts. I wish I had a bit more cash

Against the odds, I'm picking a return to form for the Warriors and a couple of tries for big Kenny Maumalo, winger of the year recipient 2019.

#LESSGOOO!

Other good budget options include Whitbread, Verrills, Tolman, Mitchell

That's a cracking team. I wouldn't say trade but I would swap Tevaga and Taupau starting position to maximize cover.

With Taupau starting your FRF cover is Boyle (who I'm not sure has guaranteed position) and 2RF is Tevaga and with Tevaga starting Taupau acts as FRF/2RF cover

Cheers bro

Massive punt mate. Hope he fires for you.

No where near starting mate, behind Burns on the non-scoring interchange even just allows me to get Klemmer/Munster for Fainu if i go Robson - JAC

Camo123 wrote:Probably will be using my last trade on Matterson I think this week with max price being 701k it might end up being sideways move, but looking at Matterson to Ma'u or Klemmer (or Arrow if named)

Ma'u playing 80 mins and hasn't scored below 50 since R13, seems a no-brainer when Matterson is playing 60 mins at lock and has relatively low tackle counts for a middle forward because he doesn't flop on tackles which is showing because he's only got above 50 once since R15 with a 30 point try on edge

Don’t like matterson to Mau at all given the potential value of that final trade 

He is a higher base player but has been over 60, ONCE (and even that was 61pts)

Compared to Matto’s 60 x2, 71, 77, 78 - is sooner take the slightly lower base and have an explosive player with a spare trade for starting 13 player injury in the last 5 weeks

Thoughts on captain picks? At the moment I'm leaning SJ but not 100% sure

SJ (vs Panthers) - He's running it a lot recently and the Sharks seem to be clicking into gear. He's also not super reliant on just one stat for his scores, since he gets goals, kick metres, TBs, running metres and TA/LBAs

McInnes (vs Titans) - Good chance of some attacking stats but might not get as many tackles

CS9 (vs Rabbits) - I'm worried that Souths will keep him quiet, but he never really goes truly low. Still don't quite see the upside in captaining him this week.

Cook (vs Storm) - Against the Storm but he just seems to pull points out of somewhere, and he's always a safe pick, but I doubt he'll be carving us up through the middle. This could age poorly though

Fucking YES!!

Come on the Aussies!!

Fuck yeah!!

Must've known it's after midnight back home, Lyon and Cummins ripping through them. Too bad Lyon couldn't finish with a hattrick

Actually lol’d

Not sure if it's been mentioned, and i'm not sure it matters for fantasy purposes, but Dearden's new ankle injury is only minor and he shouldn't be out long.

That's a relief for the guy. I think last week I was more upset Dearden got injured over my Turbo (c) fail. I might actually get more than the 5 minutes he's played in my team.

All those scores are on the edge though with 80 mins with only 1 of them coming without attacking stats (try, 2 TAs + LB, 71 with 20 tackles over average, try + GP, 30 point try in R16). He looks to be staying at lock with max 60 mins which likely limits his potential attacking stats and his base stats have barely changed for the better despite being in the middle where he should make more tackles

With Eels having easier fixtures, Ma'u might even up base with attacking stats. I like the look of Arrow returning from injury but way riskier + Titans are a complete shambles

Edit: Also if Matterson keeps peaking at 45-47 his price is going to keep on dropping and dropping and then if I do want to remove him I'm going to have to take a much larger punt then I currently am as opposed to taking the plunge now and getting one of Ma'u/Klemmer/Arrow who are proven guns this year.
