I know people like making fun of Matt every time he says anything. But surely people don't think he wants to play Tedesco at prop.

Currently nobody has any WFBs in their 14-17 at full strength. You can change your squad makeup to have 2-3 extra WFBs and still maintain coverage for other positions.

Come round 1 next year there is a close to 0% chance that the rules will be interpreted the same way that they are currently. But assuming there is still a big focus on head high contact and plenty of suspensions going round, then why not follow the MS rule and get players who are more likely to actually play games.

If Ponga is out of origin, it will just be Brimson for Queensland right

He's averaging 56 when the Roosters win (5 games), and 20 when they lose (3 games).
That's such a big differential that I think fixtures do potentially come into it as he does well when the Roosters dominate.
That's both as an eye-test as well as on the game stats.

Speak for yourself I have 5 WFBs in my 17 this week and have another one in the loop (Teddy, Turbo, Hynes, Walsh, Laurie with Doueihi in the loop), this year WFBs and halves are king, the age of the forward is over in fantasy.

wolfking wrote:Yeah, I'm salty AF not getting Hynes but it was too difficult without trading Crichton or a double trade which wouldn't have been wise long term.  90 points is just a kick in the nuts though.

I'll keep playing but missing a move like this is probably going to cause slow rank falls from here on I feel.  The points is one thing but the money missed will be crucial and owners now have a massive leg up so well done to you all. I feel like that's my season done. It feels great when shit goes your way but fuck you do feel like throwing the towel in when you miss a massive play like Hynes.  Kills the hype for the game at such a crucial time.  

It's stupid how things like this which mean absolutely nothing to your life can cause such turmoil lol.  Sometimes I do think about quitting because a game like this which again means fuck all is not as important as your mental state sometimes haha, and times like this test that.  I'm not a quitter though and plus, I have nothing better to do!  But Damn I don't even want to think about fantasy anymore this weekend.

I will just hold trades and maybe use 3 next week.  Still want Burton but would kill me if I trade him in and he doesn't play next week.

Edit:  not to mention only having Haas last night ffs!

I agree completely, I can't beleive how many times i have quit or wanted to quit alone this year. Its amazing really how unimportant in the grand scheme of things this game is in life but how much it can get to you!

Hopfully you're on the up Wolfie!

This is exactly my thinking, next season WFB will be the new HOK, fill your bench with them, especially with all the quality young guys coming through that are looking capable of a 50+ average.

Only gets to you if you let it - gotta delve into yourself and ask why it's getting to you so much.

They can't get your goat if they don't know where you tied it up!
