Congratulations on your 10 POD points

I thought the same thing (assuming only 1 or 2 teams brought him in).
Surprisingly, that score would only have been enough to pick up the 10 points in 2 of the 7 rounds so far.
Goes to show how good a POD can go when they go big!

Stats for first few games were solid. Should have gone faalongo.

I still don't see the attraction with Fa'alogo? He averaged 39 over the last 3 games (had two under 20 scores in the previous 3) and was priced at 31.
The only way I can see that's a good trade is if he suddenly starts scoring tries, but I don't recall him ever as being a notable try scorer.

Warriors have just officially been given the all clear to travel to Aus tomrrow.

Cronulla 40 (D. Albert 2, L. Covell 2, L. Douglas, A. Dykes, P. Gallen tries; L. Covell 6 goals) defeated Penrith 12 (M. Cross, R. Wesser tries; P. Campbell 2 goals)

Gallen - fantasy royalty
Darren Albert back in the points

Paul Aiton starts with a bang

Lance Thompson surely hits the radar by now, would have been a great round 1 buy

Everyone bought Michael Gordon - do they forget what fullbacks score in this game

Melbourne 24 (J. Webster 2, I. Donnelly, S. Turner tries; C. Smith 4 goals) defeated St George Illawarra 10 (C. Best, R. Simmonds tries; A. Gorrell goal)

Jake Webster top scores, with CS9 not far behind

Dragons got some good scores despite losing, don't remember thi sgame but I am guessing it was competitive based on stats

Traded out Covell and played Tame Tupou over Darren Albert. Put a bullet in me

Didn’t see that his 51 had a try in there.

Bulldogs 30 (H. El Masri 2, R. Asotasi, D. Holdsworth, V. Tonga tries; H. El Masri 5 goals) defeated Warriors 16 (S. Faumuina, D. Koopu tries; T. Martin 4 goals)

El Masri another to return to points this week

Wairangi Koopu has had a few good scores recently

Sonny Bill keeps the big stats going - only 4 people own him

Simon Mannering scoring like a centre

Gotta be an investigation into anyone trading Covell in, has been playing like a bludger averaging 20 in his tryless games

Manly Warringah 23 (S. Bell, C. Hicks, B. Kite, B. Stewart tries; M. Orford 3 goals; M. Orford field goal) defeated Parramatta 22 (B. Delaney, G. Morrison, M. Petersen tries; B. Delaney 5 goals)

I half remember this game, wish I had video of it

usual suspects did well (Not Verbal) Morrison - Bell - Hindmarsh - Kennedy

That's it for round 8

Thanks Milch!

Really disappointed in trading Hoffman in, I thought he would be better than 23 and 25. Center isn't helping him at all!

Gone this week I think

Can't believe El Masri actually makes his BE despite a string of 20's...

710 for me. Surprisingly my 2nd best score for the season but I think its still only going to put me mid range for the round.

Ouch mate.

Where the fuck are all these tries Menzies was supposed to score?

Mostly earlier in his career

Mr Consistency is down to 6 players with Troy Thompson out after scoring 36:
Tongue - 80 points
Kennedy - 61
Hindmarsh - 56
Hodges - 55
C. Smith - 53
A. Johns - 44

From round 9 the qualifying score has risen from 40 to 45 points+
