With the big boys in L1 now,hope I don’t let the team down guys! Feeling the pressure to show last year wasn’t a fluke

Last time I was in L1 I had my worst season ever.
Hoping this time around is different

I would be pretty interested in Curtis Scott if Bateman was healthy and playing inside him. But I can't do it without those criteria

My brain is basically cabbage now from reading too much stuff and revisiting stat after stat. I might just have to disappear until TLT...

The Raiders as a whole are going to score a lot of points this year. Thinking I may potentially need to treat it like FPL and get some "coverage" in early

I think I’m still going to risk the black widow anyway.

Yeah....looked at the widow's stats last night and its pretty compelling if he gets a good run at an edge (about 10 points underpriced consistently across a good few seasons when playing at 2RF). It will hinge on who lines up at CTR in the first round.

I guess you have to be prepared to bail out at the first sign of trouble

https://www.healthline.com/health/black-widow-spider#symptoms

This spider type is found throughout the world. While they’re found all over the United States and Australia they’re most commonly found sipping Latte's in Bondi .

What are the symptoms of black widow spider venom poisoning?
You’ll usually feel the sensation of a minor prick when a black widow spider first bites you.
They are known to lure you in with their beautiful blue eyes and the promise of stable points at a reduced price
You might not realize that you’ve been bitten at first unless you caught the spider in the act.
In some cases, the bite might be painful right away though it's when they get moved to centre mid game is when it begins to hurt


Other signs and symptoms you might experience include:

Difficulty breathing
Nausea
Chills
A severe increase in blood pressure
A headache, which may be partially due to a change in blood pressure
Sleepless nights worrying about playing position
Sweating
Weakness
A fever
Lost cash and high break evens
Relationship issues due to constantly staring at his photo

Yes the Knights & Raiders have the best opening draw & imo you need some representation. I have Shibasaki from the Knights hoping he can jag a try or two & I had Simonsson for a while until I needed to raise some cash & got rid. C. Scott available has peaked my interest.

I'm used to feeling (like) a minor prick.....and in 6-7 years of playing I haven't dared to enter the lair. Might be time to take the plunge and build up my immunity  

StormTroopers TLT Call:

I have a gut feeling Mawene Hiroti will snag a wing spot for the sharks. Played well in the trials and has a decent TB ability, plus kicks goals (kicked 2 in the trial) so could fix the problem there for the sharks

Talks the Momo-Grant trade is still on the cards.

Also interesting thought, if Brenko Lee can nab a CTR spot he averages 35 points at CTR and is priced at 26 points. He fluctuates in scores a ton, but a lot of upside at the Storm.

Don't see it happening. I think Seve/Earl are ahead of him there.

I think Brenko was a bit more of depth signing in reserves.

Well is 2 less weeks less wages for Momirovski enough to get the Storm under the cap?
Just delaying the swap a few weeks was suggested by a few people when it was initially blocked. Wonder if its enough for the NRL to be happy

NRL PHYSIO
@nrlphysio
Jake Trbojevic could be a surprise inclusion for the Sea Eagles in Round 1 after he was initially expected to return in Round 3 (via @BulldogRitchie). Will be 4 months and 1 week since he underwent shoulder reconstruction surgery

If it happens there goes my Walters half experiment but Grant can just go on my bench so no loss & it's probably a major gain as Grant is much better than Walters.

And who said coaches don't look after fantasy players' best interests

I think I might go double gun at half if Walters becomes Grant at 9 for the Tigers

A few loose ends to tie up in L3
