Might flick him to Edwards

Surprised how low he scored seemed to bust tackles every single carry

Have I ever told you guys about the time I met Brenko out one night in Brisbane?

Bloke was absolutely maggot and should've been kicked out but I guess his "status" kept him in there. He was nice enough but was literally holding himself up with the bar.

I have a few photos on an old hard drive somewhere. CBF looking for them.

on scores I'm 541/10c and have seen a good jump up the rankings, Katoa, Crichton and Papy are the bad scores, most people will have at least 1 of those, and a lot will have 2.

Just be good to maintain my rank, but will likely drop when Lolo, Moses, McInnes play

Munster's a ballhog and Jacks/Pap had a couple of communication breakdowns when attacking the line. Holding out hope that Hughes gets those right on he return next week or after.

Pap does look a bit small out there too and defenders seemed to swamp him on his attacking plays. If anyone can figure out a counter though, it's Bellamy.

Sucks to have started with him when someone cheaper could've sufficed or just spent up for a gun, but he's one of those guys people would still trade in if they can't afford all of Teddy, Ponga, Tom, RTS and/or one gets injured.

Solid floor, potential to go large, affordable, lack of other great WFB options. He'll still be in the mix as the weeks go by.

All this hype over Crichton this season has been unwarranted. He looked dangerous coming off the bench a couple times and all of a sudden he's going to be a superstar, wish I never traded him in.

I blame @mattnz

I missed last nights game and saw he actually scored a try and finished on 24? That is actually disgusting.

On the plus side, Cleary is back and Yeo continues to pump out the scores.

Does Mattnz have your login details? If not, shut your pie hole!

541/11C
Team is decent at best. Sua clune drinky papz katoa paix all need to be considered for trading out this week. IF there's no injuries to deal with I think I'm going to just fuck off two middies for two guns (290k itb), can't be this mediocre for much longer.

If you had to take a punt on someone who's leaked a lot of cash who would you go? I was considering milf but he looks bad and may actually be dropped. Want taupau but he'll be so juicy price wise after he plays a week!

Finally a week going my way

Don't own Best, McCullough, Haas, Paix, JTB, Katoa, RTS and I don't think owners would be happy with any of their scores. Didn't play Luai for his 25

Captain Cook getting the banner

Crichton 24 with a try and Papy not getting any attacking stats are the only down points for me so far.

Crichton basically did 2 good plays in the Newcastle Panthers game, and then centres started going down so everyone grabbed him.

I got him because he was about $60k less than Bradman Best. Teaching me the lesson that I have to learn every year, that sometimes you are better off paying money to get the better player.

Good stuff mate, i suspected you might have left the C on Cook.

Ah you kept the C on Cookie Monster! So good! I tossed and turned on him or lolo all week and regrettably went lolo. Happy for you mate!

371/7. Not going well.

Still need to decide in my Wags team if I reverse the Lucy/Drink trade to Ted/Hammer. Carrigan completely fucked me for next week's plans. Will need Twal DPP and Katoa to be fit to field 3 second rowers, so ditching Lucy may not be wise.

I'm mostly joking but you can't deny this forum can certainly influence trade decisions, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Its not a bad thing, everyone needs to make their own decisions at the end of the day.

I didn't even play Crichton this week so not even that unhappy about it, unfortunate that he's not making the money or scoring the points I had hoped he would.

This....I never thought I would actually have to play him, just grabbed the cheap DPP and hoped he would make cash!!!! This and Jhop over JTB which lead to Paix have really put the $ on the slow train.

460 from 9 this week with all of Crichton, Pap and Katoa. Have only saved 3 trades to date which is alarming, will have to be circumspect from here.

DPP guns become really important from now so might have to adjust my plans and get Twal in next week

Hopefully LoLo for a ton as well

I'm having a shocker 462/10 with Best, S. Crichton, E. Katoa, Pappy & JTB not scoring so good but the 7 left could potentially average 55-60 so it could turn around. The Storm have the Warriors round 7 so Pappy stays for that game at least.

That’s not how it goes! None of this positivity business

Aren't we supposed to abuse them until they either do well because of us or poorly and our abuse is therefore justified?

Also Milf blaming Matt is rubbish. You make your own calls and if you don’t listen to your gut over the forum and it goes wrong, it’s still your fault..

I hate flipping captain choices because we know all those blokes are capable of going 100+
I normally just pick and stick, ride the highs and lows to somewhere between 65 and 70 average in games they are fit.

Needed a big one from Cook with Haas failing for once
