I find Warriors fans good in general, no excessive complaining even though they have more right to than probably any other team.

I risk playing Randall if he doesn't drop off the team list in the last game though.

Can't believe this is a question. +40 is my default take and you have a near 50 score.

Lock it in Eddie

Cheers boys, guess I was overthinking it due to the potential risk of Randall coming through.

I love Ronnie's voice.  I thought the last Pretty Maids was shit but the few before that have been excellent metal.  The one thing I really like that Laney was involved in was Randy Piper's Animal.  That's good shit.

Sounds like you're into some pretty cool gear. I actually really enjoyed the last Pretty Maids album (which funnily enough includes Laney on keys)... but the majority of my heart's in the 'Jump The Gun' to 'Anything worth doing' era. I enjoy all their albums (including and after 'Jump the gun' - not overly into the first two) but 'Spooked' is their finest hour, imo. Love that disc.

Chris Laney has had his hands in so many things... love the two solo albums, but mostly came into prominence for me with his production job on Crazy Lixx's 'New Religion.'

Anyway, good gear. Good to know folk are out there.

Now, who's keeping Pearce? Am I being a dickhead trading him out for Reynolds? Is it too sideways? I don't think it is, but why have I these doubts?

Jeez BSmith out for 4-6 weeks is a real spanner for me. He was a decent scorer and provided a lot of cover for me. Looking like Eisenhuth might be getting some starting minutes up front which could help to cover though.

I get more nervous looking at my three trades with every day lol

In my opinion, definitely in the top half of bias fans. Storm, Broncos, Bulldogs and Souths seem the worst but probably because they're the loudest and my experience at AAMI park is that people sitting near me don't actually know the rules which doesn't help. Warriors fans wouldn't be far behind those three. Cowboys fans up there too (in my experience)

Nah Warriors fans never seem too bad to me. Out of curiosity, who would you have at the other end of the list? The least biased?

Agree re aami park, been there twice and it was just weird compared to every other game of league i've been to, just seemed to be a lack of understanding of the game. which is fine in itself, but just the high and mighty arrogance that comes with it is a bit off.

Bulldogs and Souffs definitely the most passionate/biased Sydney fanbases at games. I’d put Dragons up there for arrogance but most of the anger is directed within rather than outwards to conspiracies about refs, judiciary, etc.

EDIT: manly up there but they never cross the bridge to go to away games

Last bias would probably be Titans fans (I don't think I've ever met any and the guys on this forum seem fine), Tigers and Raiders, maybe? (excluding ol' RaiderDave)

Can't believe I forgot Manly fans in the most bias. Wow. Some shockers out there.

For those wondering why Al Hopoate joined the Warriors if he's not even going to be named in the 21 - George Jennings loan deal might not be extended past Sunday's game.

In other Warriors news that I'm not sure has been posted:

CHT had a head clash at training and may not play on Sunday as he would have to pass HIA protocols.
Lots of options in the halves: Hiku, Harris, Keighran or even RTS.

I'm wondering do I go ahead and get JFH with 3 trades left and should have enough for Hethrington to Eise next week. Other trades I was looking at were Ofa with DPP or Koala

Had my eyes on him as a cheapish 17th man next week if he got the lock role. Annoying.

A question that effects whether I pull the trigger on Haas to Hunt: best buy under 585k?

Current shortlist (roughly in order of preference): Fitzgibbon, Lawrie, Lawton, Jackson, Capewell (next week if back), Brimson, RTS, Thompson. Anyone I've missed?

Would be upgrading Talau so all of those should be a 10-15 point upgrade I'd think and 6 weeks of Hunt should roughly match/outscore 4 weeks of Haas.

Thoughts?

If Harris moves to the halves it will affect his fantasy output.
I've got Nikorima as 17/18th man so I guess he'll still be taking the bulk of the KMs. Hoping for plenty of attacking stats from Kodi

Lawton is one that has definitely been flying under the radar but probably not worth it now. Lawrie I like but you think will lose minutes with Vaughn back. I really like Fitzgibbon at that price too.

You would think Hunt would outscore Haas. But one dud week and you'd be behind.

I was looking at something similar which left me in the same price range and was leaning towards Lawrie

I forgot to switch McInnes and Hunt around, so if any of my 2RF go down I won't have cover. (I put the VC on McInnes). Fingers crossed

Kikau or WGraham?? I think i prefer Fitzgibbon and Lawrie though.

Assuming this was for me? Haha cheers Rabs. Quiet couple of games for old RCG. Hopefully he's just catching his breath for the past month and can AVG 50 from here.

Yeah that’s why I included him same with Eisenhuth as I knew a couple of the lads on here have him to.

I hope he comes good for you.
