I have Tino and I think in the front row will put in work. But Walker should generate similar if not more cash, and you get the bonus of potentially bringing in Haas easier.

Essentially you get a 20 point bump this week instead of a 40 point bump when you grab Haas in a few weeks with the extra cash.

How long is AFB out? Any estimate?

Forget the dog sitting, give me the currywurst recipe

I thought Schuster's stint was going to be temporary initially. Now with Gosie ruled out he's here to stay.

And send me a few gallons of Hoegaarden while you are at it @Archer

Loving the 160k made by Shoe and Sully in that game last night. Show me the money

Man I hope Schuster is a keeper half for the rest of the year. It'll be good to have my halves and back three sorted out already. Latrell might be able to be upgraded but will be one of the last I upgrade if I need to.

I think JTB and Afoa are back next week though so can probs wait one more week and see.

Not sure how long B. Siro is out for either.

Just on the cleary updates, reading back I see a lot of people mention that they just weren't keeping up with the live action so of course he should update. What about the other 33 players though? Did they keep up with all of them and just missed the one bloke by so much or did they not look as close at the others on the review? My annoyance with it is more that I think they are missing decent chunks and cleary might deserve those updates but I feel like it's hit and miss as to whether others get the updates they deserve too. Just think there is already all kinds of hidden bias (not that they actually have favourite players, but that they would obviously be conscious of highly watched players).

Anyway complaining about the scores is like whining about the ref, won't change the outcome, gotta suck it up and learn to milk the penalties and work the refs or be good enough it doesn't matter. So with that said, that's my one whine (today) about it.

Will ask the boss for it as this one I just followed her lead. Was bang on though, that sauce is going in the repertoire for future games

As someone mentioned that was his longest stint for a fair while. Had him last year and he copped a couple of 35-40 minute games which even going 1 ppm don’t amount to much for $6-700k

Exactly what I’m doing. Have another look next week for better idea around role.

Think I had a few too many last night, can't think of the b word for a few more hours yet

Mentioned above I'll toss it on tomorrow (don't worry I'll leave it on till the Sunday after) as I don't wanna fuck about trying to update it from the phone.

Am I missing something about Tevagas big minutes? Looks like he gained an extra 8 mins on last years average

Using 2020 to give us an idea under the new rules at Lock he averaged 49 mins last year for 51pts
This year he is averaging 47mins 48pts

The issue isn't him play 57mins like last night, it's the 40mins chucked in as well which dragged down his average last year
If you take out those games (Under 50mins) he played 6 in 2020 for an average of 53mins 58pts

Being a high impact player minutes aren't his problem, it's the impact he makes and that is hard to predict each week
He got 2 Turn overs this week which is the main difference

Have had him the previous 2 years as well and love to watch him as a player, but can be frustrating like Taupau to watch how he gets used.

As mentioned JTB and Afoa are back next week, how long does he start at lock?

TLDR How sustainable is his scoring and what's to stop Harris being moved back to lock when Afoa/JTB are back next week pushing Tevaga to interchange again

Alternative is Tino could average 10-15pts less than Haas next few weeks for 350k cheaper and based on my score predictions this week Tino goes up more than Walker this week

I’d me mad too I thought pretty much you got some very rough calls.

I guess that’s expected at Penrith though!
