Cleary up to 106 and S Crichton to 56 gets me 1000 on the dot

999 for me with downgrades to others

Gives me a third half and I guess the coverage stays the same even though not needed

Hoping Butcher plays too (seems likely based on what’s been said).

That way I can see off Robson, who I like to fondly remember as the guy who averaged 61.5 the last two weeks, and Young, who I like to remember as... eh, I got nothing.

Hunt and TBA incoming.

Robson 28!

Robson > Hunt will happen very quickly when the shops open

Yeah actually didn't see other downgrades, would finish on 995 I think

App showing scores as (now reflecting in fantasy):

HTF 58
Lolo 54
Robson 28

Cleary 106
JFH 80
Yeo 63
Mansour 56
Crichton 56
Koro 54
Luai 40

Fidow with 58 as my 17th man was a godsend.

Scored around 360 points in that last game saving my round (1037).

as some-one who nit-picks Teddy's stats during a game, i can understand frustrations and comments in the heat of live games, but once the Roosters game is done, I put a lid on it and put it away, it is getting a bit grating when every week the same culprits are here on a Monday/Tuesday whinging about shit that happened on Thursday.

Absolutely, I’m not talking about a comment here and there it’s the refusal to let shit go that’s getting really boring

Edit : to be honest whinging about whinging about stats is about to jump the shark as well...let’s move on

I guess tohu played edge so that’s the end of his gunning it days?

Cleary’s junk try saw me go from 700s to 900s and downdates to outside the top 1000. Amazingly bad week. Must be on the TBs my players didn’t get counted for them

Good question, we'll need to see what the timeline is for both

Paul green said postgame Morgan is at least 3 weeks away. Drinkwaters injury was originally 4-6 I believe so both are still a fair way from returning

Yeah I need to weigh this up too, and sooner the better.

Shady2K wrote:What's the go with Asi from the cowboys? Wouldn't Morgan/Drinkwater be back in a few weeks?

I thought Drinkwater was 6-10 weeks.

Morgan is so long ago I can remember lol but  I’d guess he’s the main threat.

Nah I don't reckon mate. He's always got some attacking stats in him, doesn't help that the team is a basket-case, but he'll keep trying.

Only reason I've avoided him is the injury history, but if I had him I'd be holding.

1076 whilst carrying matterson on bench. Niu, jtb, young and field in 17. Crazy game

Think I will be looking at Robson to Hunt and Fog to JFH. Will leave me with 9 trades left but I play mostly for h2h. Hopefully it'll be enough trades come finals time, got 16 players I am happy with after those trades.

I didn’t see the Cowboys game - is there any reason to hold Robson? Stats lines say no, but game context may say otherwise? Probably wishful thinking...

Thanks KT appreciate your input.
I've got Niu, but I don't want to have him in my 17 next weekend. Averilo is my other option, but I'm not sure if he'll be in the starting side. I've got Herbie, but he doesn't have DPP yet. Asi looks like a stop gap solution atm

It doesn't look good mate. When they brought Cotter on they looked much better so I assume it will stay like that until proven otherwise I guess

I’m having a look at if ditching Pearce helps me get Ted this week (have Hunt, Mann and Cleary as well). It’s sideways as all fuck but team balance and all that. Don’t think I can afford Mann to Ted.

I think Pearce has a bung knee and has hit a bit of a scoring lull (not terrible but probably not shooting the lights out anytime soon)

Thinking similar.

Crichton and Talau for me next week.

I’m really hoping to be able to trade out Crichton at some point and use that cash elsewhere but his scores are just so good haha
