You would think so.

It is a good team.
He has no CTR cover though (not that I can talk, I've no CTR/WFB cover).

He may feel it if/when Tedesco/Crichton have a big week.
That being said, Tedesco has scored more tries to start this year than he ever has before, and no monster scores yet.

I think Teddy/Crichton over Papy/Fifita plus 250k really sums up my train wreck of a season so far.

I have to say his team is way more solid than a lot at the top. Theres one in 4th or 5th with Saab, Avo, and Ben Teo in 18-21, which makes you wonder where the upgrades are coming from.

Im always 15 pages behind so barely post as the current topic has been talked to death. You young folk are way to quick for me. However still want to contribute so will be posting up Bullbenders tip of the week, just rehashing on some golden rules of mine.
First one is the papenhauzen debate for those that dont have him.
You have missed the 120 odd points plus whatever price gain. Therefore if you buy him you will always be 120 points (minus what the player you picked instead) behind those that have him. They have the jump on you, you just need to hope that your original pick can have his moment in the sun. Playing the dogs will be a hard watch but its only round 5. Even if he towels them up its round 6, theres 19 rounds for your pick to get the same average. So its not only chasing last weeks points, its giving your opponents a straight up 70 plus point advantage and its a WFB, the most volatile position in your team. My 2c
Cheers Slug.....I mean rabbit.....I mean Bullbender












































Bullbender PTY LTD holds no responsibility when pappy gets 140 v the dogs and the guy you were trading gets a HIA

Well done to those who scored big. 987 no Papy here.

I'm going to hold off. I don't want to buy high on a WFB. This time last year I think Ponga tonned up and I rushed him in thinking he'd keep rising, and he promptly lost a lot of valiue. Papy may do the same.

More concerned about not owning Fifita. Especially as he was in all my teams except the last one where I rejigged to get Crichton and his DPP instead :/

Would be nice to have that extra 2RF cover

FUCKING PAPPY! WHAT A SEX GOD!

I have missed so much!

With Liddles score this week, hopefully I can go this week without trading after max trading so far. No doubt TLT will throw up a surprise but my cows are making money and have no injuries at this point. Hopefully only have to make the dreaded decision of what Mid to start.

The question is, who's chucking the C on him hoping for back to back tonnes?

I started all four. Cows and guns baby. I am hoping that Teddy or Angus could banner up in the near future as my guess is those ahead of me are missing one or both.

Yea I noted his Mid and WFB as being a little bit weaker, but think he has balanced this out with his other selections and I'd say the depth he's built will allow him to strengthen those areas in no time!

Yep as a Teddy owner, while obviously totally fine with his average, have been a little surprised his scores haven't been higher with all the try scoring too!

Yeah, NRL has an interesting video breakdown of Papenhuyzens tries (in terms of fantasy points).
Three of the tries netted 31 of his points (a 9 pointer, 10 pointer, 12 pointer).
The other try netted 25 points in one hit.
Even with Goals added, the 4 tries really only contribute half of his 124 points (which shows he was on for a pretty solid score even without the tries).

From what I've seen a lot of Tedesco's tries so far have been fall over the line, chase a kick type low scoring tries.
The big points will come when he starts scoring 10+ TBs

Yea I just saw that too, was a pretty neat visual of it and you're right it definitely shows he was racking up heaps of points elsewhere to the tries which is great for us owners!
Looking at Teddy's stats his 25 TB total seems pretty standard for him across 4 matches, but his lack of TA and LBA are where I'd like him to step up, particularly with both first choice halves out. Some real potential for a banner if he can snag a couple of those on top of his tries and TB stats

If Grant is back this week our ruck speed will increase dramatically with Grant's scoots, Smith back to lock and NAS punching in off the bench... I can see Pappy backing these guys up and finding a lot of space in the middle.

I was also cows and guns. Just the wrong ones!

Lockout should be over soon

Round 5 is up on the Fantasy page. Lockout lifted imminent.

lockout is over, trade away!

You know what's so great about Fantasy is that there's always an opportunity to improve.

Like I didn't pick up Cleary or Fifita at the start of the year, and that has clearly hurt me, however for the rest of the season I get to test my skill and ability to make up the lost ground. Whether that involves getting those guys in ASAP, or whether it means leaving them and looking for value elsewhere, it'll be an exciting road.

There's never a dull moment!

I would like to know if Cheese is a cut price keeper playing at lock. What sort of minutes would he need? 60?

Hmm, so it appears Fiona is on the forum
