Why Burton? He’s good as gone after this week

BE is -16, another 60+ this week he makes over $100k, get a good score this week, then odds are that he replaces Luai. Looked great out there. Cheap player to bring in with huge upside potential.

Now we're talking

If you have to play both with either option I would go the second. Fogarty didn't look so good so while he will gain value there will be better options to play. Crichton will be serviceable to play at centre and if Yeo keeps the game time he will be good value. However definitely can't go wrong with Teddy/Ponga

I'm not sure I'd trade him in now. he got a massive boost on the weekend with Pearce and Watson gone early and a 90 minute game.

He's not massively overpriced if you think he'll average 40 or less long term

Hmm, the only half around that range is Walker. Maybe I should carry the 2 halves I have until next week.

Finished 3rd for the round and am up to 3rd overall too. Captain choice hurt me as if i went for haas or tedesco i wouldve won the round. To be honest i didnt think too hard about haas or teddy so i cant really claim that i shouldve been 1st

dunno if cleary picks the side based on fantasy points.

neither of the halves in yesterdays game were particularly good.

Great score!

Are you in one of the fanatics leagues?

I don't see Luai getting dropped for Burton when Cleary returns. Cleary & Burton are the same sort of player but with Luai there he is more of a running half so you want a mix of a controlling half & a running half.

Thanks. I'm not actually, i was worried i might be a liability given i was pretty terrible at this game last year. I thought id focuss much more on SC instead but obviously with the start ive had ill be taking this game pretty seriously.

Outstanding mate. Well done.

A lot of people making plenty of ground this week. I didn't have a terribly great score (979) this week but still went up to 112. I wonder how much of this is people from R2 losing focus and not playing anymore. There would be a number of teams with players like Xerri, Cleary, Ponga, Fifita, Aubboson, Walker all not playing this week.

Haha yeah it's still early in the week... I'm just playing around with options in my head. I'll probably just do Shiba to SCrichton and leave it at that. I'm happy with the rest of my team, I just need to let the cows mature now.

Current team:
Koro
Haas, Carrigan
Tolo, Leilua, Katoa
Moses, DCE
Lomax, Shiba
Papy, Drinkw, Isaako

Friend, Brailey, Grant, Mann
Rudolf, Williame,  Luai, Fogarty

Geez mate that’s one of the strongest sides I’ve seen good stuff!

That could be it. Had a glance through a couple of my more casual leagues, and there were quite a few who obviously did not change their team this week.

After watching Best yesterday, I'm thinking he's a must have.. Bulky hard running bastard, reminded me a bit of Hurrell actually. But there is depth (although shitty average depth) at the Knights. I just got Curtis Scott in my team, due to lack of options. He's hot and cold, thinking I might bank some cash and jump on Best instead.

Other than that, J Williams looks to be a 30-40 point player at best, will jump off him this week. Same with Knight, might go to Fotuaika after his big game and needing to bring in a prop.

Hard case I'm playing turmeric in round 4 in the L3 h2d. This is RnT's team which I have taken over for the interim so I'm playing myself.

Best should benefit from Pongas return too

Bit annoyed was deciding between Aubusson to Yeo & Friend to Twal and went with 2nd option as I thought Verrills would continue to have impact. Hopefully Aubusson stays starter

I am leaning towards 2nd option I think, as my 2RF will be pretty light otherwise and I don't really need another WFB for the time being (I would have as during round was thinking about Mann out soon, but no longer after the 70)

Playing left edge is a very good thing for him

Should be able to ride Mann up to 600k+ from here, will be a nice upgrade to a true keeper like Cleary/Moses/DCE

5 day turn around for the Panthers after their 90 min game yesterday. No Cleary again, Warriors looking good to go back to back

Cleary was happy playing Maloney last season next to Cleary, gave them dual threat where both halves could kick and run. Can see him wanting options again. Luai hasn't looked any good in any of the games this season.
