    My understanding is it was for the gambling agencies.

    Need some thoughts also on last team selections.

    Laurie or Isaako - Probably go with Isaako here, both average basically the same but Isaako against the weaker team, while Laurie up against a Titans team that got blown out of the water last week and will be focused on defence.

    Then pick 2 from.

    Isaako/Laurie, Simpkin, Lodge, Gamble

    This will probably be the WFB for the boom or bust potential and Gamble as Simpkin has Liddle on the bench.

    Pretty much, yeah. Mainly to stop a gun player being a surprise return from injury and the bookies getting smashed because they were too slow to adjust

    It was for fantasy, but we used the gambling element as ammunition because it gets people's attention better Twisted Evil

    I thought it was pretty weird though, might aswell name Cini in the 21 if he's first choice to replace basically anyone from 1-5. I chose to sweep it under the rug though.

    Personal Opinion: CTRs suck.

    I feel like you are trying to set and forget as part of trying to conserve some trades.  I think the second trade (Crichton) is great as there is some potential upside there (he's in that 2nd tier of CTRs  but could improve to be one of the best). The 1st trade I don't love because I don't see the appeal in Olam (think he will have good games like he has so far but averages will be 10 lower than the top tier at end of season) but I can't see any great options for your price point. If you like him to continue his involvement in a top team then I say go for it (only other option here is Joey Manu with a similar opportunity or Bird if you like his TBs to continue)

    Have you considered running 16 for this week with a second trade like Leniu/Stefano to CHN/Curran/Next week cash cow to free up some cash to get one of the more premium options (Peachy, Best, Staggs (soon) Rapana, Ramien, Burton/Momo, lomax (maybe too far off) etc.).
    I don't like going cheaper (ala to Cini) as it just spends more trades which will give more value elsewhere unless you are prepared to hold Cini as an EMG scorer all season..........

    Wacko has a different *relevant fantasy player* or two in doubt literally every week

    Its clickbait. Everyone knows hes just a rumour hack, so it doesnt really reflect poorly on an actual journo, but everyone clicks it anyway.

    One or two a year will turn out to be correct and away she goes wackos whispers has the goss~

    They had a winger - Talau was deemed enough of a winger to be named there. They lost a centre, and had a guy who'd played loads of centre in their squad. Given some of what has been knocked back in the past, I just found it strange.

    I guess rule was bought in mostly for betting, but also for fantasy/fans getting sick of teams having players come in later in jersey 21 and wanting a bit of clarity around what was actually happening

    477K, locked in around 45 minutes a game, coming off scores of 66, 44, 50. Likes to tackle and likes breaking them.

    Could kick on, or could be shit

    I was a year off on him - thought last year would be his breakout, and had him in my squad doing nothing.

    Thanks for your advice,definitely good for thought. I just have enough if I want to go Leniu to Curran after going Hampton to Crichton but I just feel like I would have too many EDGs then? Plus it doesn’t really free up cash plus it means playing with 16 which I really don’t want to do. You don’t think Olam can keep his 40 average?

    Josh Jackson due back soon? Will that stuff with Atoni, His uptick in scoring coincided with Jackson going down.

    Might only get a couple of weeks decent scoring out of him. jackson was given 4-6 weeks out, 3 weeks ago

    Lucy and TPJ are deadlocked in the TU/TD thread, anyone want to act as tie-breaker and convince me one way or the other?

    Were you looking to get both eventually or just the one and done?

    If one - get Lucy. He's a known quantity

    If both - get TPJ this week and Lucy later, purely due to his lower BE
