Teddy hattrick incoming

Did you pick him up this week or defer?

Yeah I grabbed him

Fuck it would have been good to have held off, but it was the right call imo

If you dont own teddy the last 3 weeks have been a win given where he was priced.

Doesnt matter if you had him all season, but not wanting to pay massive overs and then not getting burnt against titans and warriors was a win imo

850k this week was manageable. I dont really care about his score tonight.

His earlier season scoring was unsustainable, but i doubt anyone would have seriously predicted a sub 20 score tonight.

Still over 50s mate, priced accordingly due to his 94, 111, 82, 76 in 5 game span. Law of averages and scores from previous years means he’s probably due a few downers anyway. Still have to own him

Odds Haas plays 65+ mins and doesn't make 10 tackles or run 100m for a nice score of 18?

Friend gets his highest tackle count and second best score of the season The week I trade him out after over a month of mediocrity

Young the eyeball masseuse got me good too

I would have done the same if I had been able to field 17 before the carnage...it was definitely my plan and he’s coming in next week, regardless of the result this week.

Edit: I fucking hope so anyway...I’ve been putting it off for about a month Due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’

Not sure how Tupouniua doesn't get a LB for his try. Don't have him, just seems super weird when a normal 2m runover try gets a LB yet his 10m effort doesn't.

If ford gets suspended do we think mciness starts at lock, Hunt 9, sailor halves ?

You know what? I almost put Teddy in the loop today. Figured because he played first and would sub in for Pappy or Wiliame, it would guard against an early HIA 5 points. But of course you're always going to play Ted, and I've only 17 anyway, and so I set up a convoluted loop up such that IF Randall actually plays I can loop him and HTF and Herbie for hopefully the best score. Could have potentially gone Randall to Sironen and taken that instead. Oh well, that would have potentially had it's negative outcomes too.

They looked better like that regardless.

I played Ted and put Lomax in a loop. What a waste lol.

It so much fun! played two teams of angry middle aged poms so got hacked all night. Scored a nice long ranger and one of the poms did a dive so comical in front of me (didn’t touch him) that the game stopped so everyone could have a laugh.

Also had a good fantasy result so there seems to be an inverse relationship between me watching and my players performing....maybe I’m too hard on them

Cracked me up one 5 a side game we were giving a salty Pom team a thrashing and one of them whinged to his teammate "Can't believe we're losing to a bunch of Kiwis". It was actually 2 Kiwis, an Aussie, an Italian, an Argentinean and a Kiwi/Peruvian

Sailor looks the goods, the Dragons need to go back to what was working for about a month and put Hunt back to 9 and McInnes to 13.

I think trips are just fines these days. If they treat it differently because Keary almost got injured, then changing trips to fines in the first place wass pretty stupid. It's dangerous regardless of the result.

Oh yeah.
Thank you Harry Grant.

I think that probably happens anyway tbh.

Well happy with a pre updates score of 47 from Aubbs, I’ll definitely take it over playing Hammer.

I could use Pap as a loop tomorrow as well for Latrell and if Latrell stinks it up for a score under 25-30 I could then play Hammer over Latrell.

Pretty pissed with Teddy but oh well nearly all in top 1000 would have him.

Can someone tell me please how many in the top 1000 own Lomax?

Happy Hunt got to 50 as well after being on 13 after 31mins.

In hindsight Tedes(C)o was a terrible C decision. Course it is considering his score but looking at the bigger picture, he's a bit of an opportunist and vulture if you'd like. Tonight when he had the ball he was looking for a quick pass off, almost like he was a semi-playmaker and link in the chain instead of an attacking weapon (e.g. first half run metres). I thought Keary would feed Teddy some filthy balls and use him as the main weapon without the Morris bros and Flanno.

I'll C him next week if Josh and Flanno are back

Fuck you were thinking about it too hey mate? Fucking dodged a bullet there, holy shit.

I have never double looped before but doing it this week:

S. Crichton Niu (loop)
Teddy Pap (loop) Ponga

Carrigan Taupau Lucy Sironen
Aubbs (loop) Latrell (loop) Hammer Randall


I hope I haven’t stuffed it up ahahahahaha.
