Yeah should have known not to trust a repeat offending eye gouging cunt. His money will be used to upgrade Luai for me probably pending what happens with Crichton

Loved the Raiders winning that. Papalii just rumbling through this huge gap, Teddy helping his owners by not even attempting a tackle as he jogged aside, all glorious.

I was also extremely wrong about G Williams pre season. What a player, elusive runner, which he’d have to be to protect that beak.

Miss 1 week, hold. If he looks like missing 3, might have to spend a trade on him

Not if it’s more than 2 weeks he’s not. Only backup is Carrigan and Sironen,I’m not counting Young cos that fucker is already dead to me

Yeah I’ve had worse outcomes from trades this year (injuries and other unforeseen situations) but Young definitely my worst trade from a decision making process perspective

Would anyone play Hammer, Hetherington or Talau over Young? Lol!

Thanks lads for letting “my due Dillinger” slide.. whatever a Dillinger is!

Spewing on the Angus injury... only got him in last week. Was the (c) as well which was looking good with 50 points in 59 minutes - on track for a big one

Hopefully only a week out but could just be given a few to get it right

This is just typical of them tbh.

They had to start the resumption fast because they were 0-2.

Theyll secure a top 4 but be up and down until a week or two before the finals

i don't just mean from a W-L perspective though, Roosters teams of years past thrived in the tight games, stayed professional and forced errors from the opponents to capitalize on, but this year they just seem to stack up silly unforced errors when the pressure's on.

Why would autofills have Starling as opposed to 100 other base price players?

*Edit* apparently because of the algorithm. Didn't know that

Autofill algorithm takes ownership into account, so at the start of the year a few guys basically get picked at random, then their popularity becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Joe Lovodua still has 3.7% ownership. I can't remember the other popular cheapies, but there will be a few around at relatively high ownership and no chance of first grade

Nah I can attest to the frustration of unforced errors in our team, it’s always been a constant issue for us HOWEVER what has also been constant is us coming good at the back end of the year and tightening up on the errors... Robbo has become a master of knowing when to push the team and when not... right now we are running in 2nd gear... same old same old at the moment imo

Talau maybe

I'd say a Due Dillinger is when you've been screwing up for a while but manage to escape.

Raiders have bunnies, cows, panthers and Broncos in next 4. All very winnable so Young may get some more chances in those games.

Well you could say the first part of that is true

I remember back in 2012 he Hodges and Lyon were the ones to own. Easily 40-50 without a try each week

My thinking too mate.

Id ay Talau against the Broncos right edge. Should be some tries there.

Richie fkn kennar is playing ctr ffs.. only 7th string

wolfking wrote:Would anyone play Hammer, Hetherington or Talau over Young? Lol!

Not the first two, but I'd consider Talau. I have no option but to play Talau this week and hoping he puts on a jolly good show against the Broncos.

To be honest, though, 33 could be a stretch for any of these guys.

Thanks lads. Slim pickings. Will decide on Talau maybe tomorrow. I agree 33 could be tough to get without a try lol. Should put the Hammer in for a Sunday arvo comedy session.
