I have 19 before trades this week and 213k itb. Will be Capewell and Wiliame to Crichton and Herbie. 2RF would be lolo Crichton matto Katoa and Lucy.

I would then have my cows etc to turn into Ponga and teddy down the track

Definitely go Angus then!

I assume he means the England team last year, not the Bulldogs team now? He's in quarantine in a hotel room for two weeks and won't have trained for three months before that. He's a good player but don't expect a fast start.

I'm expecting more attacking stats from Haas with some pack support.

Haas beasting, as long as he is playing 80 minutes, why go anywhere else. 85, 85, 83 legend!

Good points. I just think realistically he won't be getting 80 mins and averaging in the 80s throughout the season so I'm happy to take the gamble in a couple of weeks (on captaining Lolo)

I’d bring in Ponga or Teddy mate over Crichton if it was me.

If your heart is set on Crichton though go with that.

Haas Captain for me for sure. Taking it off him hasn’t even popped into my mind for a second.

I am dreading having to play Stephen Crichton against the Storm this week.

If he scores 20+ I'll be shocked.

Campbell Graham is still a little enticing to me

I tried bringing him in last minute for Williame last round not realising Graham was only at WFB. So dodged a bullet then. Any insight into why he went so low though, aside from the obvious Stats? I fell asleep about 10 minutes into the game but his Centre stats were fantastic prior to last week.

Hey fellas, haven’t seen much chat re Clune, is he not a viable cash cow? Just thought he would have a more solid point scoring base than the hammer or herbie.

I’ll be happy with 20. Anything more will be a bonus.

His run metres were a little down mate and he didn’t have as much defensive work to do as the previous games he’s played at centre. He missed 4 tackles as well and he just didn’t really any of those tackle busts he’s been getting at centre.

James Roberts is looking more likely to play on Friday though is the word so that would see Campbell shift over to left centre which is Souths preferred side of attack so he should see plenty of ball from Cody and Latrell. So I think it will be better for him fantasy wise playing left centre which is where he’s played most of the games that he’s played at centre.

Cheers mate!

Not a bad option at all should average mid 30’s and be a handy cash maker if you don’t have other issues in your side to deal with. It seems he’s got a limited role as to what they expect from him but he is getting through his tackles and getting some kick metres albeit Norman is doing the majority. Looks like Clune is getting the odd tackle bust in there as well.

If the Dragons lose a couple more games in a row coming up though he could be dropped so there is a bit of risk there.

At this stage though Mary seems to like him.

All of the cows this week are untrustworthy and dumb so probably best to wait for one with some genuine upside.

Capewell and Leilua to Mitchell and Macca gives me some time to wait

HTF looks as good as any mate. Kid looks the goods

Oh shoot, didn’t realise Hoppa had been moved to fullback.

Surely you can maintain an average of at least 35 from there

Hey mate, snapped him up last week along with Munster. Now mulling over Hoppo instead of Mitchell

I’ve gone Hopo because I need the extra cash over Mitchell for upgrade next week. Was going to punt on Lee but not got the minerals

70k difference not to be sneezed at.

I’ll still lose Leilua to grab Macca but I think I’m happy with that. Guess you could say 2 cut price keepers is better than an injured player and a guy under a injury cloud

Happy to try to understand your explanation of your play on words.

It's a bad joke.

But of my 1,000 posts that particular one reveals "my true nature". And you and others are seemingly ok to pile onto that idea.

To suggest i'm being blocked and should be blocked or sanctioned because of one bad joke after 7 years is quite frankly absurd and donkey and others who want to take that view can go f*ck themselves.

I can see why you all couldn't handle rabs now. I just didn't realise everyone here was so virtuous. Guess this place has changed.

Also just realised if I grab Hopo then I can sneak Robson in for Saifiti instead of Leilua for Macca.

Interesting choice
