    What is all this fuss around Horse?

    He has already made 75k.

    Do you guys honestly see him consistently getting 50mins once Bateman is back?

    If he gets 50mins he probe scores around 47 which is not quite keeper level.

    So are the ones bringing him in gonna upgrade him down the line? Or is it get him now and just hold him the rest of the season..........

    What were your trades mate? Also what is your back 3?

    I feel like mine of Shiba, Pap and Drinky is weaker to many others.

    So far I have

    Knight to Grant
    Fifita to Lolo
    Watkins to Capewell


    I have 168k spare and I’m wondering if a 4th trade of Williams to Horse is worthwhile, or if that’s just utter stupidity......... if I make the trade to Horse I have around 95k spare.

    I currently have traded Moses in to cover half with clearly gone. But could easily put luai in for 2 rounds.

    Justin Holbrook on Jamal Fogarty wearing the number seven jersey tomorrow for the Titans against the Cowboys:

    "For us as a team we're probably lacking that real general as a natural halfback so that's why we've brought him in."

    Think I'll still pass on him this week to get Trbo instead for a full playing 17. Walters to Fogarty next week should be fine (assuming Fogarty does enough to warrant a trade in)

    Unless we get happen to get solid news that Kennedy will be playing before Titans lockout.

    In general, if you can afford to trade Taumalolo in this round, then you should do that

    At the very least, make him the upvote option of your poll so you can increase your karma.

    Sorry all, I've blinked and missed it. When I did my trades JTB seemed like a pretty good option to dump an injured player for. I assumed Grant and JTB two pretty good downgrades, but I can't help but detect a change in the tide. Is JTB not considered to be a good option? What happened?

    If not he, are Hopoate or Fogarty better options? I think I have all the other real cheapies... I think.

    Took you 14 minutes to being confused on why people are trading him in to potentially asking the question to bringing him in to your own team. lol!!

    For what it's worth, I went Knight to Horse. Gut call is that he'll have a breakout season and happy for him to be a 45-50 point scorer hopefully. Knight as you've pointed out has a 4 man bench to compete with so his minutes won't increase, so I can't see him being more than a 40 point player. I needed funds to get Tolo for Fifita so getting Horse for Knight worked out well, as I don't trust the rookies yet and will hold Watkins until the right cow pops up. I also got Drinkwater for Williams. I don't want to look at Williams in my team anymore. Absolute plodder that also I don't see being anywhere near scoring the points that you need to be in the 17.

    In community voting, Forgarty was first preference, followed by JTB with Hopoate ranked 3rd.
    Take that as general idea of forum preference between the 3.

    I don't trust any of them yet. Fear is JTB will play 20 then another small stint at the end of the game, which I can see happening too. Warriors loaning players and Tevanga coming back, I just don't see a lot of appeal. Katoa looking like coming on at 20 and playing the game out too which is likely.

    Cool, thanks chaps. I might give him a second thought and see if there's a better option. Happy to go with Fogarty if I can be confident it's got legs in it. A bit nervous it might be short lived.

    For those that have JTB he’s a hold. I wouldn’t trade him in though with Tevaga back in a couple of weeks and the Warriors could be getting more players on loan.

    Hopoate is a big risk too mate especially as Te’o could play in a couple of weeks and eat into his minutes.

    I’d bring in Grant and Fogarty I reckon mate if you do need that second cheapie take a gamble on Fog.

    A lot to catch up on! So good the footy is back, wish I had even more Broncos/Eels players!! Hope you've all been staying safe and well.

    My focus is fixing early errors, picking up Lolo (I thought it would be a great idea to start with Ponga instead) and Drinky (even though I have Mann) for busted Fifita and disappointing Levi. Will grab Grant for Watkins (using my inspiring centre pairing of Lomax and Wiliame), and make a decision later on if I want to dump Williams for Horse or Capewell. Leaning towards the prospect of Horse, potential to pull some 50s together or just drop into the disapotinting 40s but that 16 BE is tempting. Capewell isn't as important to grab right now for me. Not sure I could trust Yeo, I've got a soft spot for Matto but I can't afford either with the Lolo/Drinky situation. Hess needs to show more, Su'a is actually intriguing as I didnt start with him - will keep an eye on his minutes for a week or two, same goes for Britt.

    I hope your teams don't look as bad as mine haha, good luck patching up all the holes. It's good to have fantasy back.

    Broncos being interested in Te'o is probably the same way Dogs were reported to be interested in the Turbos and ended up with DWZ and Stimson

    Would you drop Wakeham or Musgrove first, if you had only 1 trade?
