Ha! What school RG? Remember that )

Got all of them hahaha

Aekins I don’t like due to fixtures so may not survive lockout
Walters is my trade fodder for Grant
Kennedy is cheap enough to rot on the bench if one of these sicknotes does return
Stimson I simply don’t buy the rumour he wasn’t in the 17z Think it was utter nonsense

(Have S’ua, Stimson & Carrigan on  the bench).

I have no second hooker.

With all the value at hooker this season, not having a 2nd hooker is a crime

True to form I only have 12 in common with the community team. Lots of PODs

Latest conundrum

Up for Brailey

Down for Drinkwater

I currently own a different Williams

Know he’ll get some long kick metres but I Don’t like Cleary’s fixtures early doors for attacking stats

Amazing. That exactly the same for me. I just don’t don’t know who to replace him with!

BBrailey or Stimson...or other?

Worried that Tracey will outshine Brailey and Stimson is looking good after yesterday but not sold on his work rate.

Gees, I just checked and I only have 2 (Koro + Walters). I think I had 8 at one point!

The reason for the assumption he wasn’t in the 17 was that the bench was leaked ahead of the team. He was clearly behind the others and then wasn’t named on the bench, and there were no injuries announced, so the assumption was with rfm back early and Britt in form, he had missed a spot on the bench

Decided to look into my crystal ball so have included an NPR pod so thought I’d loop. Alas, everyone from 17-21 is either a Saint or a Tiger (plus Rudolph) so there goes that idea.

I expect Tracy to outshine Brailey too

I didn’t realise they changed their take on tackles. Should make it better

Interesting

Welshy wrote:Problem is and always will be with fantasy scoring is the ambiguity in how the points are awarded.

It's tough but they need an exact definition of how a TB should be awarded or a tackle even, touching someone's back when already being tackled by 3 players etc etc

Yeah, to be honest, although not reflective of rugby league skill, I prefer stats to be counted with as minimal subjectivity as possible. So MT counted as an attempt to make a tackle + some contact sees like a safer definition. If they are now asking the stats guys to make a call on what constitutes a proper tackle attempt, its asking for a lot of pages on here of people being pissed off!!

New tackle rules will be much better for fullbacks. Either get a try save if successful plus the tackle = 6 points or if you can’t stop them when over the line no -2

With Horsbrugh I think he will play 20-30 minutes on the edge before solidly comes on at lock pushing Tapine out to the edge and horsbrugh back into the forward rotation

Dont forget, try scoring players will also get quite a few less attacking points now too - so will negatively affect wingers and FBs

Final Decision for me, please help:

Upvote: Moses + Ese'Ese + Kennedy + $5k

Downvote: Cleary + Stimson + $355K to spend on any centre/fullback (moving Wiliame).

I'm panicking hard: Knight + JMK VS Taumalolo + 246k

246k wouldn't start in my team (it would push Walters into 17th man and Mann to starting HLF, whereas first option has Mann 17th man and Walters 18th man)
