775 with Taumalolo, RTS and Ponga to come

Upside is none of the captain options exploded this week, will need to reassess for next week

Lolo hasn’t played yet

809/15 with just Lolo and Ponga to go. Not a good week. 3 scores under 30, only one score above 70.

Jarome (Luai) to Reed (Mahoney) to put Ben (Hunt) on the bench to cover HLF/HOK has potential to turn out to be the trade of the season. #fingerscrossed

You have not had a good year, have you mate?

Is he replacing HTF jist for this week? or as an ongoing thing.

As a once-off I don't think its a great trade, but if its an improvement for the next 5 weeks too, might be more useful

Replacing HTF score this week a bonus. It's more wanting to loop Farnworth or another CTR rather than have to take Farnworth score for rest of season. I probably hold as conservative trader

Shite Fogarty has been going very well. One of my trade regrets was selling him a while ago. I had the choice Luai v Fogarty to sell & I decided to keep Luai.

A combination of waiting too long to milk the cows and some left field selections like Matt Dufty, Latrell, Hudson, Siliva, James Fisher-Harris have left me struggling to make the top 5000.

Was expecting my saved trades to do the trick- but Josh Papalii and Reed in recent weeks have let me down big time.

I was thinking about this last night that the covid-19 outbreak has really benefited the Warriors on the field. They beat Manly & just lost to the Panthers by 6 points...look at all the teams the Panthers have comfortably beaten. These loan players that have come into the Warriors team have provided that extra edge in attitude that a lot of the Warriors team lack and the Warriors have a very competitive team because of this.

We've done a lot better since Payten has taken over as interim coach, I'd suggest that is more the catalyst for the better on field results.

Murray scoring 50 after playing 64 minutes at centre was a surprisingly good score.

Probably helped his running metres actually, taking hit-ups coming out of their 20. Just one game where he stays at Lock would be nice though.

He would have been close to a banner if it wasn't for the ankle tap of the season

Since I'm looping in Luai and Fog this week I've had to drop RTS from my 17, considering his form, I'm hoping it pays off. They do play the Bulldogs though so I'm worried.

Right call. He just hasn't his straps this year in terms of fantasy output.

Was on track for about 40 until the junk time try. A few of his tries last year came late due to tired/lacklustre defence. I'm relieved he's been scoring as well as he has with all the positional dicking around. Would be a must have if Bennett would fill holes with some other spud and give him the 60 min LK role.

There haven't been many 70+ scores from the more popular fantasy players this weekend.
Matterson (86), Wighton (81), Fogarty (81), Martin (77), Carrigan (74), CGraham (73), Dearden (72).

I am in the same boat mate 833 with Taumalolo, Mann, and Ponga left to round things out for my squad. I am feeling underdone at the moment but Mann could be a big swing if he scores well. Also held Haas and trades this week with 5 left.

Yeah, I thought my score wasn't too bad but guess not.  5 trades for me too.  Will be watching Ponga from behind the couch.  I expect 0 from Hammer so whatever he gets is a bonus.

Where's your ranking sitting before start of round mate?

I got a rank of 1287 before the start of the round mate.

I'm hoping Averillo gets switched to CTR before the start of the game today. So I can play him in my team instead of Farnworth.
I can't really see it happen though

When are we likely to find out about Fotuaika, after he got put on report yesterday? I didn't see the incident - was it a crusher? was there much in it? If he is likely to be out next week, has an impact on the trade I do before the Warriors game at 2pm...

Hopefully nothing. He's not had any mentions or news of being in potential trouble for it.

There was not much in Haas crusher and he got 2 weeks. If Mofo gets nothing would be pretty dodgy. Not sure about either players judiciary record
