Taumalolo 345m

fuck me sideways

Averillo is an outside back, not a half, isn't he?

If they are dumping Lewis next week you'd think someone like Cogger would come in instead.

I think there will be a bunch of changes, whatever happens

He replaced Lewis, may just be wishful thinking.

Need to update your avatar Bethany.

Fucking hell, well Stimson will not play NRL again in the same team as Dean Britt. Why the fuck would you waste any minutes with Stimson on the field when you have Britt? As noted above, they're just the absolute opposite players. Essentially, one is absolute shit and the other is a good unit.

I thought it was a sensible move to hold onto Stimpson for an extra week, but fuck me do I regret that. Haha. Oh well, at least I have one 100% trade out for next week. What a spud, as you fellas say.

Don't have Hess in Fantasy and of course I didn't play him in SC, but glad that happened anyway.

Jeez Drinkwater is looking solid. Like him a lot and hope he can keep this up.

Both a little surprised and a little bummed to see Hampton end up on 26 as I thought he'd at least crack the 30s, but I'll still happily take that in my centres considering I had to cop Wiliame's 14 or whatever it was last week. I removed my buttocks from the couch when Hampton scored. As I said last week, I like the kid's tenacity.

Anyway, it was weird to start with but I kind of enjoyed the crowd-free viewing. It is still really strange, but I thought the game seemed to run smoother and easier than usual. Still very enjoyable.

Props to the NRL and the players (minus Cameron Smith) for doing everything they can to keep this thing going. Dealing with this corona shit for my entire work day, this escape has never been more essential. Hope they can keep it up.

Gotta give it to you MattNZ, you called it with Hess. Looks like I'm trading in Grant. Hopefully he doesn't come into the team but considering he won't be at the Storm next week it's not likely.

Looks like my new team name from tomorrow is;

The Lock Hess Monster

3/180- that’s twice as good as last Thursday!

I can’t believe Taumalolo, he just gets better and better and keeps on going and going and going non stop!

Nearly 350 metres, just wowwwwwweeeeeeeeee!

Well done to all who have him.

Those that have Haas, Lolo, Cleary and Wakeham are laughing right about now!

Oh well at least I punted Stimson.

Yeah I thought the dude was a winger. Must be pretty demoralising for Lewis to be replaced by a winger, lol. But the kid did well.

I too would assume Cogger comes in next week, though.

I feel sorry for Lewis, but he really just doesn't have much going on at all. Wakeham makes mistakes and I wouldn't have been surprised to see him get subbed, but jeez he looked a hell of a lot better without Lewis there.

Was it a flip of the coin who to bench between the halves because honestly they were both terrible. Wakeham looks pretty average for mine. Cogger isn’t going to change anything either, tough times for the dogs

Averillo played at 5/8 in reserve grade last week. 11 kicking meters for the game, scored a try and a try assist for 48 points. Could be in the running

I've had a look at it MTB and can see where you completely fucked up, but I won't have a chance to correct it over the weekend, so if you can't get to it hit me up and I'll re-code your entire site early next week.

I picked Stinkson for a reason (“Stinkson” won out over StimsOUT in the poll for those who actually care by the way...)

But deadset I traded him out with 1 minute to go tonight because I went against my research for a change. At that price before Round 1 he made sense as a starting Second Rower for gains in the rest of my team.

Congrats, mate. Who'd you swap him out for? I am curious. Doesn't really matter who it is as I'm pretty sure the guy handing out the kick tee would have scored higher than Stimson tonight.

I won’t have time this weekend I said. You’re so needy!

(Love you)
