When Flanagan is back either next week or the week after Lam would revert back to 14.

Roosters play storm next week.. if lam puts on a clinic against one of the prem favs how could you drop him ? Of course if they lose it’s another story. It’s not so clear cut I don’t think

Rabbits21 wrote: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.

889 in the top 1000 own Teddy (6th most owned player) and 681 in the top 1000 own Lomax (11th most owned and highest owned centre)

Hall came in late and twisted his leg when the try was gonna be scored anyway.

Friend’s was late on a kicker, pretty sloppy it looked should get a week.

He tackled him well before the line. Lomax twisted his leg stretching out to score. Absolutely nothing there.

Friend's was high and a bit late and might be a ban.

Fair enough. My Roosters mate thought there wasn’t much in the Friend one but he thought what Hall did was a grub play.

Funny how we all see it different lol, well I guess it’d be boring if we all saw it the same.

Updates are in:

Aitken up to 57
Lomax down to 75
Hunt up to 54
Clune 43
McInnes down to 82
Kerr 33

Teddy up to 20
Aubbs down to 46
Manu 46
Friend 66
Taukaieho 80
Butcher 58

So I’ve had Teddy, Hunt and Aubbs in the centre loop which I will take.

I’m 3/120.

Players to come for me tomorrow:

Taupau
Haas (C)
Carrigan
Murray
B. Sironen
Latrell (loop will see how he goes and decide what to do after the game)

Nice work, I'm 2/95 once Lomax gets looped in.

Got Tevaga, Haas (C), D Fifita and Carrigan tomorrow night, praying for the Broncos to steamroll Souths down the middle and for Fifita to break many tackles in the wet.

Lol well obviously I’m not praying for that ahahahaha..... still hope Haas goes well but Souths win!

Oh don't get me wrong, I want Souths to win the game (since the Broncos are my most hated team by a long way), but I also want my three players to score well. Carrigan tends to go well regardless of result, and the other two are really reliant on tackle busts and lots of run metres to get the really big scores, with the odd line break as well.

So basically, my ideal scenario would be a Souths win but a lot of Souths defenders slip off the Broncos forwards in the wet conditions in order to pad their stats

What a great update for Clune,just the 2nd time I’ve needed his score this year and he hasn’t let me down either time. Wasn’t able to watch any of the game last night as I was having a cyst removed so right now my head looks as taped up as Liam Knight usually does. Damn I hope there wasn’t many Teddy captainers,that sucks

People who think Flanno was genuinely dropped and isnt just being given a break are outside of their mind.

Also great captaincy Andy V you madman

If Butcher can somehow manage to keep doing that all year I’ll be a happy camper

Not owning Tedesco for me has been more luck than good planning, but I had no way to get him in until after round 5 when he had posted 94, rest, 111. At that point I thought he was over valued and went for DCE.

Since that point Teddy has posted the following scores

34, rest, 82, 76, 62, 57, 50, 20 total of 381 for an average of 54 which is right around his career average at fullback

There was also a point (after his 62) where he was more expensive than Cook and only 9k cheaper than Haas where I was advocating for people to not bring him in because being a WFB can't match it with the uber guns over a full season

Just for a reference since round 6 when I grabbed DCE he has posted the following scores

57, 42, 86(including the softest sin bin of all time), 63, 79, 65, 87 for a total of 479 points and an average of 68.4

I know these scores don't exist in a vacuum since I had to play other WFBs instead of Teddy

But what is the lesson learnt here that I can use for next season:
- WFBs are volatile and at some point will lose money. It's not worth blowing a team up to grab them at peak price
- Halves that dominate their teams kicking have an enormous base and are unlikely to lose money unless affected by injury
- This one seems obvious but ignore last weeks score and pick the uber guns that haven't put up a monster yet. We know they are all capable of it and most of them do it a few times a year. So if one has a run of "just average" scores you can be sure a monster is probably just around the corner
- Football isn't played on paper. It doesn't matter how much of a "dream run" a back has they are no guarantee to score well

Now I'm praying for a 40 vs the Storm and a rest vs the Tigers

Had McInnes pencilled in this week but went Lolo instead.

It’s a possibility I may have gotten that one wrong but there’s still a chance

4/199 - Teddy dragging that average down a lot as my other players are Butcher, Lomax and Aubo

Do we think it’s a good week to bring Cook in? Missed the boat on McInnes, and don’t know if I trust Api or Jazz at the moment.

It's always a good week to bring Cook in.

He can put up a banner at any time vs any opponent and just had his 3rd lowest score of the season
