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.

I try to solely focus on what V'landys appears to have done for the game. I do think his expansion is a little misguided though.

What is Farnworth’ job security like? When Kotoni is back and Arthars is back from injury could Farnworth drop out of the 17? Or do Broncos fans think he stays in their back 5?

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?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Don’t really have trades for sideways moves if it’s not an upgrade or cash out then not really interested.

I just don’t see the point in spending 500k+ on a CTR thats not a forward.

I think he could stay on the wing when both of the injured guys are back. Arthars was dropped before he got injured so seems to be out of favour.

Yeah, I agree, and I'm generally Latrell's biggest un-fan when it comes to Fantasy, but I just got this gut feeling he's turned a corner. Hope I'm right because I'll be highly agitated to mess around more with the CTR position if he fails like the rest of them.

Kotoni Staggs (hamstring, round 8-9)
Jesse Arthars (knee, round 9-11)

You’ve still got Coates and Oates too though hhhmmmmmm

Do we see them as being ahead for wing spots over Herbie once Staggs is back?

Mate that’s exactly what I’m wanting to know as well, how likely is it they give Farnworth DPP with centre?

The reason I’m looking at Latrell or Best is that they’d both be a keeper at centre in for Capewell and if my other centre currently being Crichton gets dropped or something then I could play with 16. Having 2 shit centres in your starting side like if two of them get dropped or something then you’re fucked and down to
15.

I think I’m gonna go into the thumbs up and down thread re Capewell to Latrell or Best. Best I guess is the more injury prone of the 2 but still a thumbs up and down can’t hurt!

Okay, So my choice is 1)DCE + Farnworth (goodbye Drinkwater) or 2) Teddy + Fogarty (Lucy goes and Drinkwater stays -one of those two will be my second Half). No more trades after this, I’m going on a long trade holiday. See you all when I get back.

This is what I think I've ended up this week

Capewell + Kennedy --> Farnworth + Pearce

Pearce seems a good value pick and means I don't have to start Paix or Luai alongside Moses. Does mean I will need to start Drinkwater and also one of HTF or Farnworth though.

Kennedy I would ideally like to hold to see if he starts again but unfortunately wont know that until the last game and he needs to go to give me the cash needed for hopefully Luai to RTS next week (as long as RTS doesn't go huge).

Given up on the Macca dream..

it will be between Coates and Farnworth for a wing spot imo. Arthars is more of a centre and didn't really impress in the first few rounds on the wing. If Coates continues to be a threat in the air then he could nab the spot for a while, the main problem with him is his defence is horrific.

It’s such a hard choice.

You’d think Hammer has the better job security though wouldn’t you compared to Farnworth.

Has RFM locked in an 80 min edge spot at the dogs?

Coates and COates mate

I would say so yes with Stimson at long term and Britt much better suited to coming off the bench.

I agree but siebold did mention not being able to pick Arthurs when talking about who to play at centre.

Tricky. Probably just depends on form
