Think I'll play Clark with the choice of Paix/Clark/Luai. Luke will probably play at least 30 minutes. He's still a handy player and will give the Broncos a lot extra.

Next week I really need to turn Luai into a second gun half because none are anywhere near reliable. Maybe Munster but also a close look at Pearce and ARey this week as fallen guns.

I’m gonna try get him next week. Munster and Pearce as my halves this year

I can go Willy to Herbie then Capewell to Pearce. I think I like that a lot. Gives me;

MC9
Haas Carrigan
Hess Tolo Horse
Moses Pearce
Crichton Lomax
Pappy Hammer Nofo

Koro Grant Katoa Lucy

Rudolf Luai Paix Herbie

Takes away a looping option though so dunno if that's worth it. Could get rid of Luai but still has some coin to make.

From LS Q & A re potential DPPs

Players who have been playing in a new position and are expected to remain in that position will become dual-position players after round 6 (with updates to kick in next Wednesday), with another bunch of DPP updates arriving after round 12.
At this stage, the likely candidates for next week are Alex Twal (2RF), Josh Aloiai (FRF), Campbell Graham (CTR), Ethan Bullemor (2RF), Cory Paix (HOK) and Adam Pompey (WFB).

I missed this earlier in midst of sorting some other forum stuff.   It’s a pretty shit play on words mate. I don’t think anyone has suggested it’s your standard comment but doesn’t make it right. I’ve not seen it from you previously.

It’s again a shit attempt at being funny in all seriousness, why the need to try and deflect then and make it about tolerance to idiots with Rabs? If you thought most of his shit was funny then perhaps you should go elsewhere. I don’t want to see you leave personally and if it’s just a lack of judgement as suggested with your 1 in 1000 comments then a return to norm will be easy mate.

This forum and sportal was a safe corner of the internet where i could talk about fantasy, have a joke, take the p1ss and not be concerned about political correctness.

Now it appears with the influx of newer members, it's just about footy and PC laughs. I did in fact find Rabs posts and most others here funny, I have a pretty high tolerance to most things and certainly feel like people should be free to express themselves. Sometimes people say stupid things, but you should be able to distinguish between intent and outcome, maybe some of you aren't smart enough to know the difference. As I said previously, If i'm to be judged by the majority of people here on 1 bad joke, I really don't want to be here anymore. And that's fine if that's what the community wants to become you can have your mainstream space and make sure you all behave yourselves. There are plenty of websites and forums for me to talk about pure footy on. This one was different.

So with that said I think I'll be handing in my keys and moving on. It will be no skin of anyone's nose, I only visited from time to time anyway. No need to holiday here anymore.

Thanks.

I'm bringing him in this week. Taking the chance he can go reasonably close to matching the top tier halves. Maybe he'll be a luxury trade out later in teh year.

Obviously match up this week looks good but I don't think it will be as easy for the Knights as other teams have had in previous weeks, not the reason I'm bringing him in.

Bro, there is no need to continue on with it either. Few words (that included) that I'd never say myself, that said I take no offence to it and I don't think it's necessarily a "character" reveal as such, but just take the L on it, and continue on. No need to leave the forum.

After backing Robson years ago and then again weeks back and moaning about him playing 80 and Granville being dumped. Have to get him in

I really want HTF but I need a CTR to replace Capewell. I like Hopo and Lee. I’m also considering playing with 16 this week now and getting a CTR next week.

Capewell - Lee
Hopo - Robson
16 trades. $18,000 left

Capewell - WHopo
Brailey - Robson
16 trades. $50,000 left

Capewell - HTF
Hopo - Robson (play with 16)
16 trades. $134,000 left

so it’s okay to make the odd homophobic reference because it’s not really in your character and only happens once in a while? Come on mate. We talk all sorts of shit on here, I’m one of the worse for talking random bollocks. Not all about fantasy, but that comment was just a bit shit wasn’t it?

Read my reply I’ve not seen the comments from you like that before, doesn’t make the 1 alright though does it? Stop throwing the toys, accept it and move on

Also likely bringing Pearce in this week. Only thing is looking at my team and seeing Pearce, Best and Ponga scares me a little if Knights have a few bad days on attack at any point

In my WAGs team Pappy has the lowest average of anyone in my top 17 (18 actually) but I just know that if I trade him he'll have a massive game. He's making it hard to keep the faith though

TU:McInnes and Clune
TD:Mitchell and Macca

Probably need more context. Is Clune in your 17 or an NPR?

Latrell is a different position as well so it kinda depends on the make up of your side.

I'd rather McInnes hands down though.

I honestly think Macca scoring will taper off after a couple of weeks. He got that seachange energy at the moment which will fade. Could be wrong, obviously big min hookers are all making bulk tackles at the moment.

Thanks mate. I'm a gun short at the back, but not bad. Good luck this week with whatever you decide.

danseels1985 wrote:TU:McInnes and Clune

If you already have 2 centres you can play, I would get McInnes (also, like mtb said, ideally Clune isn't in your 17)

If you need a centre to play, I'd go Latrell+Macca.

Anyone have Robson over Macca?

Not to drag this on, but I'm pretty open minded. I backed Rabbit plenty of times and was never offended with things he came up with, but I guess even though I'm never offended at anything, my point is in relation to this, your joke wasn't even funny. It was a joke a 7 year old would say in the school yard, like a name he'd call his mate or something. Just made you look a bit childish and I'm all for free speech and all that, but you seriously can't expect to write that and not have it called out. Just my 2c.

Welshy wrote:Anyone have Robson over Macca?

Personally I do, I think he has more to offer in attack than Macca. Macca's got one string to his fantasy bow and that is tackling.
