Maybe JFH is broken

He is pretty busted up apparently

Yeah, I may as well put the final nail in the coffin!

Given hes 90% owned and at his highest price point I think you have to skip him if you are chasing rank. You have missed the points hes already got. Given how volatile fb scores are you have to search for someone poddy IMO if you hope to make ground. The only circumstance i would get him if i was top 20 and thought my overall team was better than those above me and I was a shot at winning it, a position most of us arent in. Scary as shit not owning him v tigers but hes as much a chance of getting 120 as he is of blowing a hammy. (Not that i wish injury upon anyone) but this is the reality of it.

EDIT: Also forgot to switch my loop so I got Verrils 29 instead of Savage's 73

Tohu got killed (again) - apparently it really is for the season now.
Egan did his shoulder, didn't look so bad, but Brown says he's done for the season too.
Wait for NRL injury updates I guess.
CHN bannered up (without a meat pie)
Haas is back.
Johnson is back to 20-30 (but most are carrying him as trades are low)
Savage you already know about.

Anything else I missed??

JFH looked like the walking wounded on the weekend. Giving him a couple of weeks off wouldn't hurt the finals charge

Who's the best cashout this week? Need to build bank for Cleary next week. Prob need someone less than $280k

Yeah it's a tough one. I'm thinking a To'o is a worthy POD alternate. I just slipped into the top 1000 so not sure what the play is. Skipping him and hoping he regresses is probably the play. I'd need 2 trades to get him too.

Harris and fog to Murray and savage this week.

Leaves me with

Smith
Haas, Ipap, Murray
Angus, Fifita
Hunt, Moses
Avo, Burton
Turbo, teddy, hynes

CHN, tolo, afb, walsh

Sj, savage, bird, Verrils

680k in the bank.

Sj and hynes Will be come Cleary and ponga/pappy once they are back in. And a small handle full of fuck all trades to ride home with. I feel I have enough dpp, and depth to weather a few rounds though.

Savage or Billy Smith?

NRL Physio sez:
After a nasty mechanism of injury that resulted in neck, rib and knee issues James Fisher-Harris thankfully won’t require scans. Has some soreness today but good signs for his availability next week

Still seems like he might get a rest or two in the run home, if they have that luxury

Number of journos as saying Pangai to Panthers is old news and won't be happening.

I’ve heard he’s getting out the bubble due to his misso having a baby so he may miss 2 weeks either way

I don't know if anyone is still holding Albert Kelly, but Broncos confirm he has completed rehab and fit for selection this week. Thank fuck, I can't handle another week of Croft.

Wasn’t there talk of JFH missing a few games for néw baby purposes? Leaving the bubble then back again, I assume that involves iso, so 2-3 weeks out?

I've still got him, been waiting for his sweet price rise from his - 8 BE since round 13

Was hoping he'd be back this week, will likely need him as half cover down the stretch

Halle-fucking-LUJAH! This guy was a gem when playing and after the result on the weekend he will walk back into the dominant half position. People should remember gamble was dropped for Hunt so Kelly would be main half before his hammy. Has a fantastic kicking game.

It is a weird bizarro world when Albert Kelly has probably looked the best 7 for the Broncos this year.

I'd say he just slots in on the left side. Gamble has been solid enough on the right and seems to be building combos.

Well the StormTrooper push has started ladies, gentlemen and rabbits. Heading into R18 I was ranked 2201. R18 is over and now heading into R19 I am ranked 1473. Playing Savage over Verrills would have me around the 1200 mark but c'est la vie!

Looking to head into the top 800 after this round will need me scoring about 150 more than those already in that position. Easy does it.

After a slow start I am looking to finish strong, with trades in hand and a strong side, top 500 is my main goal!

oh yeah another green dot

Mahoney
Crichton, Haas, Lodge
Fifita, Murray
Moses, Schuster
Burton, Olam
Hynes, Walsh, Teddy

SJ, Watson, Reynolds, Latrell
Brailey, Radley, Wilton, Verrills

Solid depth that with Brailey, Radley and Wilton all outside the 17!

Minor point, but would you not be better served starting SJ/Reynolds and benching Schuster for his EDG cover, if both are going to be in the 17 anyway?
