Mulvy wrote:How many do people have playing today? 

I've got three.  About average?

Based on ownership stats from MTB site, average is around 4.3 for top 1,000.

Huge ownership (over 75%) for Schuster, Turbo.
Big ownership for Harris, Walsh (over 50%)
Averillo, Bird, RTS, McCullogh all well owned (over 25%)

On 739 with 5 to go,

Curran
Turbo
Averillo
Bird
Schuster

Sitting in the 4000s rank so let’s see if it can boost me up a bit

About the same as me if averages are anything to go by. I'm on 821 with Bird and Schuster to come (Simpkin hasn't been looped in yet but he will be), so you've got me as long as Macca + Alvaro score 81, which they should (50-55 for Macca, 30-35 for Alvaro)

Cini is my Magoulias of last year 2 wasted trades again unbloodybelievable!

I'd think TPJ shifts to lock with Glenn and Riki in the second row

You're making frantic and forced trades every week, and it's a reflection of your current mindset re: fantasy. Chill out man!

I did bank a trade though. I thought I was doing the right thing freeing up the funds and that Cini could average close to 30.

Plus I did not have any centre cover and I thought Cini would play round 13.

Yes I know I am an idiot!!!

Five to play, but two are bird and and avo. So four to play.

You're not an idiot mate. Just remember that cows pop up all the time, sometimes as a long term replacement in good teams with plenty of points on offer. Forcing cows is what ruined both yours and my Fantasy seasons last year. At least you have some cash next week to make moves on R13 guns

866 Schuster, Bird and Averillo left

747 with Schuster, Turbo, Bird & Alvaro to play...might crack 900

I'm not happy with my Peachey purchase & I'm sure if he's suspended even for 1 game I'm going to boot him for S. Crichton or Opacic.
On the Carrigan suspected acl injury maybe they'll move TPJ back into the middle & as an owner I'd rather him stay on the edge & really they have him down for only 3 tb's which seems incorrect as he broke quite a few tackles.

The MRC pretty much has fantasy by the balls

I've been listening to the abc sport radio commentary a lot lately rather than the tv coverage & this round it seems the fantasy scorers have missed quite a few stats 3 examples spring to mind:
(1) Barnett missed 3 tackles & made a couple of errors in the 1st 20 mins & there was nothing in the stats
(2) TPJ made quite a few tb's & again not reflected in the stats
(3) Angus seemed to be tackling everything that moved & to be credited with only 33 tackles seemed low & how Butcher made 70 tackles is taking the piss. I actually think some of the Angus tackles were credited to Butcher

So you reckon listening to people on the radio is going to get you a better idea of how many tackles people make than the people who are literally paid to record game stats or watching the game yourself?

My uneducated opinion is TPJ must have bumped players, who then flopped on him later, therefor not missing/ busting tackles. It’s the only explanation, because he was breaking tackles all over the place

Is Peachey a certainty to miss a week? From what I remember it was a genuine shoulder charge but not exactly a dangerous one.

Didn't someone mention the radio coverage said Hampton was playing

I was listening to radio via nrl website for Broncos/Cowboys and it was bad

Also re. other post selling a lock playable at CTR if he misses one week is incredibly insane - there is basically no other CTR that will rarely/never score below 20-25. You pay for the floor

I heard the same broadcast of the Knights game, and was surprised with Barnett's HT fantasy score.

That was Dobbo on triple m, maybe it was the same broadcast

No I don't & I'm sure it's a challenging job & they try their best but I'm just saying what I heard.

You weren't to know Cini was going to have a complete shocker. Just need to hope he gets another chance
