You've got me dude. Unless Cleary has a field day it's all you. Well done. I'm just hoping for a decent week and i might sneak into L1 for next year, sitting middle of the pack at 7th there.

Really?  You have 206 points vs my 70. Looks like;

Paulo
RFM
Graham
2 of Siro/Starling/Randall

vs

DCE cappo
Mofo
Brown
Pearce
Lomax
Nofo

I also have Cleary and Siro and looking to trade Moses in for Hunt.  Could be close mate.

Fun fact he kicked a goal for the Panthers and 2 for the Cowboys.

I've pulled up a bit tender from five a side last night so unfortunately I am going to have to rule myself out as well.

Holmes also missing game 1.

From that article: "Other available options include Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Xavier Coates and Corey Oates."

Scraping the bottom of the barrel if that's the case. Last man standing at this point.

For Game 1:

1. Ponga
2. Brimson
3. Mann
4. Gagai
5. Lee/Oates/Mulitalo/Sami?

Or put Gagai on the wing where he actually is good in origin.

The way he lined it up, you could tell he knew what he was doing, spent a bit of time getting the ball to sit *just* right.

I would think his sucky defence ruled him out of Origin already.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Capewell. That probably makes more sense. I'd still have Brimson ahead of any of those other options though.

StormTrooper96 wrote:@Chewie With the Haas captaining has made this competition a little more interesting.. Off my current calculations I have it 464 - 411 going your way. If Yeo/SST/Fogarty go -50 and guys like Api/Twal/Matterson can go +60 with Cotric and Randall going +40 it makes it a very close contest.

Was this post part of the shitposting?

I'll probably pick up the Fog at the start of next season as a cut price keeper. (*depending on Bye rounds)
I can only see the Titans improve with the signings for next season

I think a new coach is what the team needs. I actually prefer him playing around the 55-65 minutes mark from a fantasy POV. I think a new coach and culture can get the best out of the Broncos and he will be a set and forget 65+ average for the year.

Haas averaged 72.4 this season and will likely be priced at 75ish based on previous years. If he averages 65 he drops in cost by over $100k, worth waiting to pick up later.

Yeah not until prices are released and we see some trial teams for me.

Then I'll attempt to resist even entering a squad until after TLT R1*

The offseason is for lower maintenance activities like FPL and NFL draft comps, I guess I might talk to my family as well, not sure yet






*this almost certainly won't happen

I am hoping for off-season shit posting to hit record levels.

Staggs ACL injury confirmed by Broncos website 

Will likely miss the start of next season with 6-9 month recovery

Haas 2021 will be pretty much the same as Haas 2020

High average not impacted by any injury games. But he's that far ahead of the next best FRF that he's well worth consideration.

Twal has had enough quiet games I think he'll be popular next year for gun FRF

paseka looks to me like he'll be a PPM king, and owners will whinge every week about Des not giving him enough game time.

I feel like we've seen plenty of these situation in the past and the player never really 'kicks on' in average.

Well he can’t fuck over BOTH Taupau and Paseka with mins can he?

Trying to keep Fog all to yourself hey mate?

Moses last season and Cleary this season are 2 good examples where they did "kick on".

From round 11 onwards Fogarty's role changed, becoming a leader in the side, lots more kicking meters. Averaged 61 since taking on that role, with a low of 44. Average of 51 for the season, so should be decent value there. Moses in non-injury games averaged 60 this season, so likely getting similar scores for considerably less cost.

Gotta feel for the bloke. Was probably set to make his origin debut this year and now will likely come back too late to impress for next year. Essentially going to cost him two years of rep footy.

Hopefully he is close with Jack Bird and he helps Staggs deal with it from a position of experience
