Given you don't need a MID you can probably wait for the next juicy 228/246 to appear this/next week and generate some cash too.

950 with croker roberts host the really poor scores in the top 17. Think I'll make one trade at most, got fuimano to cover Crichton for a week. Really happy with the start to the season!

Fair point. Just looked at Alvaro as an option. I seriously thought his price was higher and it would be good for him to continue to get 35-40 mins every week. PPM beast.

Getting minutes like it’s 2015!

80-minute lock back then. Not sure he has it in him now, but never looked like he did then either.

Townsend with a 59. Kicked the piss out the ball and cheap

I'm sure it's been asked and answered already many times, but do repeat sets get the same negatives to scoring as a penalty and if so what are they recorded as (penalty, error?). If not then I assume there are just a whole lot less negatives being accrued across the games, which would be favourable for some penalty magnets

I was surprised he got as many minutes as he did but that minutes spread looks like it could go anywhere at any time, even the 2rfs both got a rest ( although it looked like Kerr would have got 80) which i suppose is why the bench mids were on for longer than expected. Vaughan also up to 57 mins which could bump him to 55 pts per game but Griffin so WTFKs

I don't have Fifita as I took a POD in his place (N. Brown), but man, he scored 60 without dominating and also had a rest for 10 mins due to an 'infection'. Makes me nervous.

Really needed that last minute TA/LBA to Woods to get him over 50 but I got him for precisely the reason that he'll do all the kicking, and GK for 7-8 weeks. Think it should leave him with a floor of 40 including tackles and hope most weeks he can trundle up an extra 10 somewhere.

Is it open yet?

Let me in:

@wolfking got ya by 7 mate in a Bunnies forum league thanks to Macca. I look forward to our next battle they’re always close encounters.

917, steady enough start. Got a few decisions right and a few that look not so, however early days and other than lodge, no one injured so that's a big positive. Had alvaro, but eventually decided on croker, 80 min 9, but hindsight is wonderful I guess. 8295 in ranking, so shows breaking the 900 barrier nowadays first round is still a way off the top 100 scores. Keep trucking on fellas, long way to go

Underwhelming Centre scores, have Bird and Roberts. How were their performances putting fantasy aside, was there any positives after both having long lay offs with injury.

I think Merrin got extra mins when Sims went off with 13 to go, probably would not have come back on.

Who's got the worst bad beat in their League? Someone in L10 got 966 which would have beaten any other score but ran into a monster 1045!

@White Lightning is that you in 1st overall?

with Freddy's origin criteria in mind, petition to change the back 5 to 'FWC' so we can get rid of centres and load up our entire backline with fullbacks like he does.

Centres can get fucked.

Sims had a terrible game. Wonder if the gets usurped this year
