As a result of dropping Stimson i changed a few things around and 1 of those changes was putting Walters into my 17 so im hoping he does well. Seems like a good option for you, if the swap doesnt happen that is.

I had him as one of my halves but got cold feet. I really hope he does well for you. Also give me a reason to trade Stimson. I really don't think he'll be in the starting side for long.

Even if the swap happens i'll just downgrade to Grant.

I don't think the swap will happen. The wrong two teams want to trade. If the Roosters were involved in the trade it would have been completed months ago

Somehow i ended up with Simonsson as my 3rd WFB after changes earlier today. My reasoning was the soft draw to start the year but jeez my confidence in him is pretty low now. Its mainly because he is my only real POD so if he doesnt perform it could hurt. Anyway, big day for me tomorrow with Simonsson in the early game and then Haas (captain), D.Fifita, Carrigan, Lolo & Drinkwater

Stimson to Katoa?

Hey MF, yeah you!

Come at me Mulva

In Stimsons defence, he probably hadn't been prepared to play a full edge role. Why can't these things come to me before the game lol.

I still think he was no worse than a lot of the others. Hopefully Pay doesn't get trade rage and gives him another go.

Yeah either all.

Then I would be very glad but still then I’d have an issue with what to do with Walters.

Fuck Lewis. As a stimson owner it was killing me to see him play outside lewis, all lewis did was refuse to pass to his outside man and tried to put in a kick every fkn set.

Id be surprised if a coach is making changes after 1 week and only losing by 6 pts. Would be terrible for team harmony.

You work all pre season to earn a spot. Deserve a few weeks to get it right (i realise stimson bradbury'd into the spot, but still)

Yeah tough to put him as a starter in your halves but i guess having him in your 17 is much of a muchness. I can understand you getting cold feet though.

Obviously see how he goes first but yeah it looks like a good trade option. I'm sure you'll feel much better about your team without Stimson in it and a bit of cash in hand! At least Stimson is fairly popular so its not like you start too far behind the pack

La Liga (Spanish football) suspended. Its coming...

Britt got more bloody ball in 5mins then Stimson did all game!! That should have still been Stimson not that it would have made much difference but geez that was annoying

Annoyed Stimson is even in my team as I have never really rated him. Had exactly $390K to spend on my final player. $10k more and I definitely go for Brailey. Need him to fluke a couple of tries to make any decent cash I think.

I'll give Stimson another week unless an obvious cheapie I missed pops up.
Everyone is already trying to ditch him when they've had max 3 players in action, but we only get 2 trades each week, and if you trade out everyone who falls a couple points short of their BE you'll run out before Finchy

Although the Dogs were terrible, the last couple of days can't have been good prep for them. they won't be that bad every week

You leave Mulva outta this, she's classy (probably). This is between you and me!

You're exactly right he was a popular pick in the end so it's not too bad. I only put him in because of the CHN issue and last minute starting role. But the first few weeks are for catching up and using trades. Hopefully i'll just have to make the one! I'm notorious for running out of trades haha

Got a favourite moderator? *cough* Think they are bettee than the rest at Fantasy? *cough* Is Mighty Fishes clinically intellectually impaired. *yes* Come talk shit at us.

Is there anyone that any of you lads will be looking to slightly upgrade Stimson too?

I've been saying that the Dogs aren't going to see any improvement while they have 'servicable plodders' like Tolman and Napa and Elliott hitting one up off the ruck. Toomaga (and to a lesser degree RFM) at least looked somewhat dangerous.

You could've changed player names and I would've sworn you talking about Warriors

Chewie was right at half time. we should listen to Chewie.

Halves and fullbacks generally get the bulk of their fantasy points in the 2nd half.
