He's averaging 76 since I brought him in, beast.

15 tackle breaks tonight!

D. Fifita all of a sudden is gonna be very expensive come round 1 next year.

compared to what he might've been, sure, but if he holds this average after next week, he's in the 600k-650k bracket, he's a no-brainer starting 2RF at that price imo.

32 in two games is ridiculous.

I've mentioned it quite a few times but he needs to see early ball and this is what he can produce. There's times where he doesn't see the ball for ages (second half tonight) and it's frustrating because we were struggling in the second half without him having an impact. He breaks tackles better than Haas and that is some feat.

Fantasy wise imo Cook has declined this year. Bennett coaching him to be a calculating & measured hooker has taken his natural instinct away. I think I've lost my touch with the game this year too many captaincy fails & Cook is just another failed captain choice from me. I thought last week Cook had turned the corner where he ran the ball a lot but this week he reverted to the norm where he played conservatively. We spoke before the season started how Bennett would kill Cook fantasy wise & imo he has. I won't be having Cook in my team next year because he runs like a pussy with too many hand brakes, he hardly takes the line on & the only consistent part of his game is tackling & even there he doesn't get the monster tackle counts like McInnes for example.

Even Mahoney outscored Cook lol. Cook is such a pussy.

Since I'm talking about mis-calculations I have previously rubbished DWZ but wow what a player he has become at the Bulldogs. Why didn't he ever run like that when he played for the Panthers. He's been twice the player since he started at the Bulldogs with his kick returns he runs like a madman with no fear & he's giving 110%. Why didn't he show that kind of heart at the Panthers.

The funny thing is when I first joined Sportal I assumed by his name that Soylent Green the poster was really old, like, even older than me.  Bloke is actually youngish.  #notastalkeriftheydontactuallyseeyou

Can't actually remember why I chose that username, other than that I'd been watching a lot of 70s cult movies - so could just as easily have gone with 'Eraserhead', 'Pink Flamingos' or 'Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla'

Must be a lot of players putting the c on haas. My live rank hasn’t budged from 120 despite having a handful of players played

I almost brought David Fifita in as my last trade a few weeks ago, but didn't.

That is going to be the biggest hit to my ranks of any decision this year

I brought him in for A Fifita 3 weeks ago - has been the main reason for halving my ranking over that time.

Take Lane's 50 and sit one of Taupau/SJ/Matterson/JTrbojevic or let it ride?

Maybe sit out Taupau

That's the current set up I've got but it is terrifying watching a player who can score 100 sitting on your bench

No point being conservative at this time of year

He’s up against Melbourne after coming off back-to-back 42’s

Good call, let it ride

I think I'm willing to risk the 8 point loss on the off chance he puts up a monster

Same trade same result, to think I was stressing about choosing him over brown

Can i ask a loophole question here (i'm being Looped by a RNGD, not doing the looping)?

Why would my H2H opponent set up as follows:

16. B Walters
17. Xerri
18. D Fifita
19. M Pearce

I'm not a loopholer, but i thought you 'red-dotted' spot 17? Whats he trying to achieve.

No difference what spot in 14-17 you actually red dot. If any of them don't play you get 18
