Firstly - I edited your post to make the text normal size.

If you can't work out how to post normal text, then please remember that it is not essential to share every fantasy related though on every forum you are a member of.

As to your question - by the sounds of it, you have Jax beat. He has no trades and no players.
Make your decisions based on what you think will score you the most points so you can improve your rank by as much as possible. If you think that Garrick happens to be the best move anyway, then go for it - but don't trade him in just because he is also in a team that is worse than yours.

Sorry I didn’t realise the text size difference and I checked it compared to posts above before I posted and they looked the same size to me but mind you my eyes are bad and I’m pretty much blind without my glasses both eyes are minus 9 which is pretty bad, even with my glasses I still can’t decipher print sizes if there is only a marginal difference even with me checking I’m probably not going to pick it up with my bad eyesight.

Thanks for your advice too mate. He scored 91 last time against the Dogs and 86 against the Cows. He should be able to go close to those scores again especially with Manly playing for a top 4 spot still.

Yes, but this other forum posts in size 16 font, so its clearly much more important than our one.

But also who did you think Jax was, if not just some random dude? Did you think he was some super important fantasy guy and you were just out of the loop?

What is the size on here is it 13?

In fairness you've been very good at keeping the font right lately mate.

Thanks mate I have been mindful of it, as I said though I honestly can’t see the difference.

I guess so. No one worth trading or getting with only 43K so no real point. Especially with 20 green dots.

Good move will be utter chaos next week.

Thanks mate I think I’ll get Garrick.

Other option could be Hudson Young but I don’t trust Canberra.

Our main other option is CHN who is suspended, plus Young has been playing well. A decent option I think. Plus Team wants to make 8, no resting likely.

Out of curiosity I also got Cleary & Turbo's price, going to be very interesting to see how they structure prices, total squad numbers and see how Cleary & Turbo ownership ends up from there

Cleary 1.285m
Turbo 1.034m

I honestly can't fathom how your consistently excellent posts are continuously unloved. This one's good, but you regularly have fantastic insight. Upvote him you kents!!

Yeah, it's full of politicians mate.

Munster has not been a reliable source in the past, I think Papy said this week ‘Munster doesn’t know what he’s doing tomorrow’ when asked about another of Munsters dubious soundbites. He is the definition of ‘a bit loose’

In saying that he probs gets a rest

Wow, India all out for 78 !

Yeah, I just started building my watchlist last week as well (funnily enough it also coincided with running out of trades).

MN in 2020 was 14550, 13400 last year.
Most of this year it's been sitting around 12000, so I'd hazard a guess it could be around the 12500 mark (largely driven by this years higher scoring).

That put's Cleary at $1.199m (I could imagine they'd like that - just like 2020 when Haas was $999k)
Turbo $926k
Haas $766k (as a next tier comparison)
Base price around $204k (but they'd possibly just keep it at the $228k)

I haven't learnt my lesson because I'd probably forgo Turbo again (just too hard to grab a guy coming off a 1.5 try per game and 2TA per game season for mine)

The standard font size is 14.

Maybe when you're posting from another source;

A/ As a routine, change the font size to 13 (you can manually adjust this to 14 if you're really keen)

OR

B/ Be content with just having it at the original source...


Also, just grab Garrick.
He's up against the two teams that concede the most Fantasy points, they also concede the most points to Wings...
It's a decent grab even if this online random dude didn't have him...

Had a Lisfranc injury early this season and was due back around now but I imagine they’ve just given him the rest of the season off so he’s fresh next season (that or he’s had a setback)

Edit: They didn't even mention him in the injury report so not sure what the go is

Do you play NRL pickem Winfield? You'd probably be good at it if not as a good tipper

Honestly seems so easy to get 4 teams & margins right but I'm still no closer to a win (share of $100k each week). Closest I got was a few weeks ago with 3 points away from Storm v Manly margin range and the other 3 games right

I got first 3 right this week and had Warriors 1-6 in the last game. Just another reason to hate the Broncos

I've got a decent watch list put together already. Since prices scale with magic number I tend to base it on averages rather than predicted price. Last year included Turbo, Schuster, To'o, Bird among others. Will post it once the season is done as it only takes one game for a player to jump in or out of the list (a banner boosts price too high, a HIA brings them in contention)

Pretty sure he was nearing a comeback around a month ago and then had a set back that put him out for the season.
