Keep in mind the Knights lost Fitzy so Barnett moves from MID to EDG.
And with Klem out for longer there should be enough minutes going forward

I wouldn't be banking on a surge of extra mins for Leo, but his role definelty more assured now with Klem news and that's probably enough

Yeo looks back to 2020 form and low on bench stock to takes his minutes back to 65mins where he obviosuly won't score as well.

Safe as houses and AFB already carrying a few knocks. I'd say Yeo for the extras

Cheers for the response lad. You might've missed it but I replied to one of your posts re the loop for this week and how you are gonna set it up

DSaf surely absorbs some of the mins

Some yes, but he is coming back from injury, with no preseason, into hot weather. We have seen many others in that situation struggling to play big minutes.

They don't need lots of time on field, scoring in the 40s with minutes in the 30s.

Tū: captain Hynes
Td: captain Dfifi

Have gone Dfifi first two weeks, but feel Hynes is due a clinic this week, or was last week the clinic.

After B Smith named on the reserves he could be available as soon as next week.I will cancel my J.King trade and bring in Starling.

Did the exact same, abs will wait for cheese to lose value and then bring him in as a keeper.

I mean Thompson is 250k so it’s fairly low risk and all we’d really need is a 35+ average to make some good coin.

If you think that's weird, people are thinking of trading Fifita (including myself )

Madness, the more trade outs he gets the higher he goes next round! Fantasy 101

I'm going to give Difi till Cleary is 1 game in to decide.

It's obviously going to happen at some point, that he has one of his runs, but no way I could captian DFifi again at the moment. Don't like what I'm seeing at all.

Hynes is busy and likes scoring Fantasy points. I have Haas but have definitely considered going with Hynes.

But in your scenario I prefer Hynes for sure.

Mahoney
Crichton, Mann, Ming
Fermor, Nanai
Sexton, Schneider
Burton, Smith
Pappy, Hynes, Crichton

Starling, Randall, Clark, Bully
Leniu, Amone, Ilias, Wilton


Who is expendable from this lot? Surely Amone doesn’t survive the cut?

Who scores more this week?

TU: A. Crichton
TD: Mahoney

I'm struggling myself lol

Just realised Tuilagi locks before Ilias, rest of current bench plays first or second lol Don't think I can do it

Hastings out for 3 weeks, lost his appeal.

Pick three to play out of:

Nanai, Bullemor, Thompson, Ilias, Walters, Coates, Paulo.

Thanks.

First 3. Not confident in Bull though.

My Penrith sources reckons Hopgood playing this week

Assuming that means JFH or Sorensen out

Plenty of options to choose from

Why would Sorenson be out?

A few questions

Amone to Leo Thompson a good trade yeah?
Does Jesse Arthars have decent job security? Warriors only really have DWZ to return in the back 5 and Montoya is kind of crud.
What are Angus owners doing? I'm reluctant to trade him but I can either free up Cleary cash or go sideways to someone scoring better like Curran.

35mins should be enough to keep the cash flowing

Hey team - here to add 5 cents after a million pages!

Scoring - Seems a lot of the "guns" are scoring quietly now. Old fantasy scoring has come back ala 60 is a great score. A lot of teams seem to have adapted to the 6 again rule defensively meaning less attacking stats. That mixed with the scoring changes have calmed down the Cleary type scores of the past 2 years. Another note, it feels like the quality of the games have dropped a bit across the board. Only a few teams playing quite sharp footy. Last point super subjective though

Guns - A lot of poor performing guns i.e. Crichton, Mahoney, Pappy etc. I think guns that relied on attacking stats seasons gone will underperform at least until the quality of attacking footy improves. I'd find it hard having DFifi because a 80 point game is around the corner. I have noticed with GC, they're not relying on him as much to spark the attack. Not sure if it's intentional or maybe some Long Covid issues. Personally, Mahoney is gone for Yeo, and Pappy is close to getting replaced

Cows - Wowee is it scant as fk for some decent cows. Going through BEs doesn't throw up a lot either. This probably leads to a lot of teams jumping on and staying on the same players.

Mann - Probably the best wait and see option if you have him. Should score close enough to BE to keep cash. Knights are playing enterprising footy so definitely opportunity for him to score decent. I'd only be flicking him if it was to free up cash e.g. via Thompson etc

Bullemore - Named as starting 2RF, he's not a Kikau. Should be safe enough

Cleary - Hi, I'm Psycho. And I intentionally started with Cleary as a red dot. But for all you sane bunch, a wait and see approach seems reasonable. Also gives extra buffer to build bank. I just wouldn't have the nouse to get Cleary level money feasibly so just thought fk it, start with him anyway.

Yeo and Curran are the quiet achievers. Curran has js risk for when Harris returns but not til May

Anyone got thoughts on Gagai? Legit gun or is he pulling an Addo Carr? (3 or 4 great games then bust)
