Surely he can’t score any worse.

Regardless of Lolo or warriors, I think it's reasonable to assume he'll do better in any event. You need high and low scores to make an average. Last week was one of the the low ones.

I Brisbane you still have Tigers and Magpies don’t you. Easts and Souths I think. We’re East’s a particular popular or successful club in the 70’s or 80’s?

Yup, Easts Tigers are actually trying to make an NRL bid...

Easts been around forever, havent won a comp in 30 years though. They became my Q Cup team when I moved in up the road from Langlands Park.

Paix's score a little disappointing but not unexpected. Was hoping he'd go 40+ again.
Turbos score quite underwhelming but he'll have some big scores to make up for it soon enough.

Carrigan is a beast and Haas is Haas.

Sitting just inside the top 1000 now but I think I'll fall away over the course of the weekend now.

Brought Hammer Time into my POD team as a starter. Let's see how he goes.

It's basically timing and my 2 trade routes

A if Burton named in 13 I get Burton+Best (could sell Guler and Wiliame)

B if Luai starts I get Best+Teddy and need to sell 2 of Drinkwater Mann Pap.

If I play Drinkwater and B happens I have to sell Mann and Pap

Must be Reeeaall nice.

Id play them in that order.

Out of curiosity, if those guys are outside your 17, you must be playing some cheap players. Who are they?

JTB will likely be my 17th player, ahead of S Crichton, and my cheapest player in my 17 is E Katoa. Therefore nothing out of the ordinary I’d say.

I don't get why people are so keen on getting the big guns in the WFB before fixing all the other positions. I'd rather get a 600k Horse, Macca, Pearce than a 700k Turbo at this stage of the game. So much more consistent

What about a sub 500 Mitchell?

In the early 90’s Wests made the semis three years in a row -never won one though. I too am still trying to forget the 80’s (post ‘82). -what a disaster!

Easy teams aside 1 good game with half points from TBs his =3rd career best TBs in a game

Agreed, but he’s about to play 6 or 7 of those easy teams. His monster score against Melbourne highlights how natch-ups are totally irrelevant.

Just shows he is ready to go even bigger against the weaker teams. Hasn't scored a try yet and we know they are coming. Averaged 0.8 tries per game at center last season, now at fullback and getting fit.

I completely agree.

@Welshy

You didn't trade out Hoppa???

Sorry I was wrong, I didn't filter by position, scored 1.0 tries per game at center last season (none in the halves where he sucked).

Obviously D. Boyd's wife told him if you score a try you'll get some but he thought hell I want 2nd's so he scored another try.
Also Rabs is back

35 points from Paix. I played him in the halves with K. Mann in doubt. Even though I would of liked 40+ he gave 100% & did his best & he ran a bit more so as he gets a bit more confidence he will get some attacking stats.

Love all the hindsight bias on this forum. Suddenly everybody always knew Turbo wasn’t all that great right after he doesn’t do all that great, but they definitely kept their mouths shut when people were bringing him in for this week and now admit they were confused why people would do it. Well speak up earlier people- this is an advice and discussion forum, express your opinions! 

Well I thought he would score 60 and I still didn’t bring him in. What do I win?

Has there been any score updates from last night's game? I saw a post someone reckoned Paix was owed about 6pts. Hope so

It’s like how Turbo scored over 100 last night.
