Annoys me as a broncos fan because we did all this last year. Deardon to bench, deardon starting Croft dropped blah blah.

Means nothing another shit year ahead unfortunately

Exactly, it is embarrassing, not even Broncos fans deserve this much Croft.

I miss the days of the late night drunk tank on sportal. I don't miss the drunk trades or the hangovers though haha.

Am also interested in these 9%ers. IIPAs?

EDIT: Or is it a high abv bourbon and coke or something?
Also, do they have COdys in Australia or is that a NZ only thing? Kiwis will know what I am talking about.

Ah yes I miss the night crew

You'll go mate, i only need one round, ding ding !

Thanks @multiple.scoregasms regarding the news about Matterson.

I actually installed and signed up to Twitter earlier this week purely to sign up to all the NRL Late Mail, and I did see this come up on Whacko's Whispers. Is this where you saw it too, MS? And if so, if this guy reliable or this the fella you chaps are always saying has masses of dud info? Is there official word on Matterson coming back next week?

It really, really puts me in a pickle. To make a short story long;

I had set my team up to trade Davey/Matterson to Schuster/Alvaro. Easy, you say, nothing that can't be reversed there. Well, this is where I make things complicated for myself.

I moved Riki to my bench, just in case he was a late out and because I only have two other EDG players I put Crichton in my second EDG position as I was planning to captain him, and moved Alvaro into my MID starters, as I'd decided I was playing him over Milf anyway. At the last minute I decided to put the C on Fifita, but in hindsight, stupidly, I also put the VC on Crichton. Which now means he's locked into position and if I remove Alvaro from my starting MIDs the only replacement is Stefano. Arguable they score similar this week, but I don't like the Tigers bench one bit.

Oh wait, that's all assuming I reverse Alvaro. If I reverse Schuster then I could still play Alvaro where he is and I could loop Milf and... um, not sure who? Maybe Moylan? I have a Stefano/Niu/Moylan loop set up with my bottom three for Pappy.

Fuck I made this complicated.

If anyone made it through all that, anyone got a tip? Would you reverse the Matterson trade? Just call Schuster too risky and hold Matterson?

Or would you reverse the Alvaro trade and play Stefano this week?

Or would you not trust the whispers, back your gut and think Matterson will be out longer and just go with the trades as planned? Pick Matterson up in a few weeks when he's bottomed out if so desired?

Any tips would be sublimely appreciated.

You've got huge problems.

I think (hope) he means out go his own team. He's playing.

I will probably roll with whichever one of Lam and Milf can get the rises going again for awhile. If neither does I'm somewhat stuffed.

EDIT: Wighton or Reynolds could be sub-600k* in a 2-3 weeks, that might be my target.

EDIT2: low-600s probably more realistic

I have my eye on both those munters after running through the same scenario yesterday. Would love Moses but I think his value is heading in the wrong direction

A lot of what Wacko posts justs comes from official websites, eg the matterson news was from the pre game media on the eels site from Arthur.

Unfortunately hes a pleb that doesnt credit anything.

Milchcow wrote:Who are people running as halves over the next few weeks?

With Lam being traded out this week and Milf looking shakey, unless Schuster turns out to be starting team playable, I am going to be running low on decent HLFs
No Brooks or Townsend and not sure its worth trading them in at this point.
Bit away from being able to afford DCE or the like

Normally its Munster and Morgan. This week its going to have to be whoever I trade in cause i didnt have cover. So probably Schu and Munster for the week and hope I have Morgo next week.

Wait what. So Kris is playing the role Simo did last year on occasion? Why wouldn't we just bring Starling into the team and push Havili into a full forward role for the week. Weird.

This was one of my favourite cards that year largely because I thought the pose was hilarious.

Looks like he is in the middle of that Michael Jackson kick move !

BSmiths drop to 64 from 68 really stuck with me all day. Give me some healing words.

In a good possie with Cleary, Townie and Foghorn. Schuster in already.

Wait, can you not just reverse and play Milf instead of Stefan?

Edit: no you can't because Alvaro was starting Mid. Silly me. That's a tough one.
