I have the same 4 guns plus Fifita, Papy and Koro, just a different mix of mid rangers. It can be done. He spent $500k total on centers.

Guns and cows approach

To be fair, he's 11th mid round right? Mid round score doesn't mean much. I outscored him last week, when his centre pairing got a total of 37 points.

Yes, just had Walters and Moses to come, will jump those ahead of him, 909 last week and on target for maybe 970+ in a tough round this round. Its not just the points though, its that they have all the players we are coveting, and none of the bad ones that we regret. Really well placed to just ditch Brown and Musgrove and bring in Grant and Magoulias, with a good chance of 900-1000 each week the next few weeks.

Taupau interests me, if he gets 3 stints each week, having him on the field and fresh is clearly important to Des, only a matter of time before he busts out a 70-80, would like to have him before then. If origin happens, he is a must have in round 12, so you want him at some point. Not sure if he is an urgent trade in like some others are at this point though.

I think Taupau only got 3 stints because of Keppie failing HIA this week; got 2 stints R1

Still got similar mins to 2019 average of 49 mins

Its suddenly becoming viable, when it wasn't so easy or obvious in round 1.

Walters, Katoa, Magoulias, Grant, Wiliame, Kennedy, possibly Fuimaono, Rudolf, Kerr, Crichton if they are getting minutes. It changes the game strategy significantly, especially with so many mid rangers not living up to expectations.

2020 year of the mid ranger guns and cows

Thanks, wasnt aware, why I wanted to see what happens next week first.

Early rounds are always good to review strategy and work out which cows to jump on.

This isn't a brag, but anyone that gives me a thumbs down for this will wake up tomorrow morning with a micropenis.

What if we already have one?

Edit: should have known Mulvy would best me to this..

Haha I believed it was the year of the mid ranger so I loaded up and only went with one gun.. Ponga..

Other than J.Williams my round hasn't been too bad. Pappy is a sucker but has to be expected. J.Williams is gone next week. Will just bleed money now

Good to see the Grant/Momo deal going ahead, should be great for both clubs.

How many players do people have left today? Got 5 to play and trying to work out how bad my slide down the rankings is going to be this week

Who does the storm drop? Both centres doing quite well

This post deserved more love.

And MattNZ, you keep doing you mate, great poster.

5 here as well... with Moses really needing to step it up to prevent the slide

I think if you’ve got 5/6 you won’t slide, if anything might go the other way.

Only 3 for me. Moses, Walters, Watkins. Less popular sides for fantasy players. 5 should see you move up the rankings I would have thought.

No idea? At least it adds to their depth.

They've got Seve and Olam in there doing a decent job, plus Brenko Lee and Earl...now Momo
Don't think Momo walks into this team at all.

On track to hit 800 (hopefully). 732 with Lucy and Mann to go. Live rank 4003.
What are you guys hoping to hit?

Also 5.
