Thanks MTB love your work, your site is a game changer that's for sure.

For anyone interested (Mulvy and others close to the top) i did write down the top 10 teams and their 21's in basic excel, unsure on formatting I will try and put them up here tonight with a spoiler tag to not clog up too much room if anyone is interested.

Cheers mate, good to see you around again. Haha, I won't be at the top for very long I think though!

If Teddy scores around 60 for the next few weeks, I'm happy enough to not own him.. it's that nagging fear he'll put up another 100+

hmm 100% chance of rain in Gosford on Saturday...

Why you do this to me? I am a sucker for picking players or should i say not picking players based on weather forecasts

Just pipped you this week, not having Cleary crushed my dreams though(everyone top 10 has him ). Turns out I have 6 players no one in the top 10 has, which seems like I'm doing something very wrong.....

Have the list need to figure out how to format it properly to show in here, got some actual work I need to finish will look at it tonight

Not having Cleary hurt also mate. You confident in Nofo moving foward?

Hoping I get 3 games more at least out of Ikuvalu. Seeing this makes me consider Aubo again but still probably sticking with Sironen

Yeah I think Bateman is more likely to (a) be one week off and cut 24 hours out, or (b) replace KOD at lock than replace Young. The forum reaction yesterday was definitely panic and sell though.

I also agree that Butcher is a decent chance of being a late start for Liu, same way Collins was a late start for Lui (via SST) last week.

If both those things happen, Young is the sell of the 2 IMO. But Roosters playing first makes it difficult

Or it’s possible Young moves to a 40-45mins middle lock role.

Quite like your team, not having Koro or Angus certainly helps this week. Would love to have Manu in the centres these next few weeks, due for a try or two. Cover is a bit thin, but looks like you could hold trades this week if you wanted to.

Either way I am more content keeping Butcher with the Roosters Run home. I also think Butcher off the bench can match Young’s score when starting. I also hope Butcher finds a starting spot come game day.

Thinking about this more, I think I'd keep Butcher over Young. Although there's a good chance Young keeps the edge role all year. But 3 round average is nothing worth worrying about if you were trading him.

Do you think I should do what Robelgardo says and play with 16 one down at centre and take the hit or should I play 17 and bring Averillo in, I’m just outside the top 400.

I have 9 trades left after Magoulias to Starling.

Thinks aren’t looking to crash hot for me re upgrades though I have Young as 17th man and it’s gonna be tricky what to do with him. I’ll hold him for now though.

I have Sironen and Starling now as options to play over him but concerns over how they will score.

Even off the bench Butcher will probs still beat Young.

Your probs right, I’ll stew over it a bit today and tomorrow.

I think @Stew is getting a bit today and tomorrow. You might have to wait till Friday for his opinion.

Andy V wrote:@standard-issue you're a good egg

I won't be succinct in the things I want to say, will leave things as they are, but honestly the level of drivel seems to be increasing more then in seasons gone, makes the good stuff and good debates in here few and far between sometimes

Nice to see you back mate

Those picking up Tevaga this week are you not worried about SBW?

Your current rank is largely irrelevant to the decision you are trying to make. I don't know the best way to go, you need to make that decision. But for context, I have played with 16 twice already this season, three times if you count Wiliame's 3 and still in the top 20. Last week I scored over 1000 points with 16, without Cleary or Lucy and with no starting 2RF either which of course is a more important position than centre. You have enough trades left I'd say, that if a decent cheap centre was around, then certainly bringing one in to play this week and provide cover later on would make sense. I'm not entirely convinced a decent cheap centre with good job security exists though. Not trying to swing you either way, just food for thought.

Last week sold Koro and Fui for Teddy and Manu...

Thought he was a POD centre and Roosters were going to go mass attack the next few weeks, didn't grab a meaty last week but Warriors and Titans incoming. Should at least have a decent floor.

In reality I could have got anyone any position under around 530k, looked at Havili/Oates/Fog but went with Manu in the end, also as he was going to be an easier upgrade in a few weeks instead of trying to get someone to generate cash. Manu was going to be a 3 week option then upgraded, with Niu to run the rest of the year at centre, but obviously that fell through. Manu will now likely stay there til the end.

Sold Koro instead of Yeo as he gave me slightly better cash and figured he was next on for the rest rotation, and that was the best way I could see to get Teddy who i saw as #1 key. Got lucky with that one I suppose. Yeo might be my final upgrade if he keeps getting rested.


Have 6 trades, likely using 2 this week to try and get Hunt and Tevaga (everyone at the top has Hunt which scares me), but trying to work out how that will happen.

Would leave me with a final 16..... 4 trades left........ 2 to get my 17th player n 2 weeks when McInnes can go to 2RF (want to get Cookie in last), and then 2 to run the gauntlet to the end of the season #yolo

I'm not sure about Fantasy scores but Teddy seems to play amazing in the wet.

Especially that wet game over here in Perth against QLD when he tore them apart.

Am I insane in thinking that if he was to come he would be better suit for Warriors if he played in CTR where he started career as he probably wouldn't be able to handle workload of middle now and Warriors are weaker in outside backs than in forwards when players leave

Just waiting for a diagnosis to come in on how long Koroisau is going to be out for.

If he's out a week, great I can keep him but if he's out like 3 then despite having to use another trade I can actually get Cleary in my team.

C'mon Panthers anytime now would be good.

They seem to release injury update every week on their website, but last week's one came out on Saturday. Probably similar thing this week with game on Sunday again
