The cheapies are hard to have confidence in. Hamiso just seems more secure than others.

Good luck mate. I’m still researching

You want true horror? I started without him because I didn't believe the hype. Went with an 80 minute, under priced Mitch Rein. Queue Moore scoring a 45 and Rein getting subbed after 55 minutes for 23 points. Want to guess what my first trade was?

I quite enjoyed your cautionary tale. I started with him and spent the last 7 years thinking I had it bad, but This proves that there is always someone worse off than you.

Moore is a funny case. Only actually played 7 games of NRL but became infamous for sucking in so many people in fantasy. I doubled down on this that very same year by also picking up Tom Humble after a blistering Panthers debut!

Yeah time for some news that puts a spanner in the works too.

Who would be captain if LoLo goes off: wondering if he might play 80 with lack of experience bar McGuire

Kenty is mostly negative, but he isn't afraid to speak the truth which is why I respect him. If he sees something wrong he will always question it and be painted as the villian but he's one of the realest reporters going around.

Wh-what? Somebody actually praising Kenty instead of tearing him to shreds?
My brethren!

I’ve been so fixed on getting Teddy, I completely forgot that my halves were my big problem. So, would you go 1)DCE / Cleary + Averillo /Farnworth or 2) Munster + Young T (Titans). This is my last trade (until the next carnage).

McGuire or Cooper

Hey mate, I might very well have missed something, but may I enquire as to why Herbie is a 0 this week?

I don't think Young T has any value ahead of the base price centres, so depends if you want DCE/Cleary, or Munster plus a bit of cash for later.

I'm definitely not a fan. Didn't mind him 2-3 years ago but his vendetta against Greenberg and the fact that he's now in constant V'landys PR-mode turns me off him more than I already was from his declining attitude.

Man too many options and only one will be the best by Monday haha

What looks best:

TU

HLF Moses Pearce
WFB Teddy Pappy Tonumaipea
Bench Friend Koro Macca JTB

TD

HLF Moses Clark/Paix
WFB Teddy Ponga Pappy
Bench Friend Koro JTB Rudolf

He's not always fluent and takes a few awkward pauses and repeats sometimes but I'm planning to watch the replay.

Oh no Herbie will score points.
I just meant that if I don’t bring in a CTR then I’ll get zero points haha

I’d be hoping Herbie gets DPP for next week but I need a cash out

Fan as as well, love his passion and that he's not afraid to say what he thinks. Gets a little irrational sometimes but I'm exactly the same when I get fired up

Okay chaps, picking up what you're putting down.

So if I'm bringing in Latrell this week and have CTR covered this week, are we thinking Herbie gets DPP next week and proves to be a much better option than Averillo? I'd love coverage for both positions.

I currently am going with Averillo (with no confidence or joy), but also liked Herbie. Is he the better option?

Thoughts on getting Ponga or Lolo to accompany HTF? If I go Lolo, then I have zero cover at either CTR or WFB, but he will likely score more than Ponga. With Ponga, my WFB is set for a long time (Ponga/Papy/Ted), plus I can then loop Papy and HTF this week, and have 160k itb to try to get Lolo back later.
