Cool mate, and probably more family friendly than spending hours on your fantasy team
Yes and no, she is almost 2 but I thought we can get so invested in digital that its nice to switch off too and do something physical/constructive so this was my outlet
Also if Footy (fantasy and IRL) is your only thing and it goes to shit, then your escapism/outlet is gone with it
So my advice is to try new things, take a night off or make some time outside of online to do something fun
Anyways hopefully she takes an interest in painting/board games as something we can share other than Sharks/Jets games (Haha she has the sharkies chant sorted at the behest of her mother and grandfather)
Don't get me wrong I still enjoy this game but it can take over a bit, so this year is a bit more light hearted/relaxed
I mention this as advice for others too, which is why I shared
End of the day this is just a game, get involved in the social aspect/meet up too as it can give you an entire different perspective to the next time the online persona comments
The same with how comments can be misinterpreted via the tone being written down here
I don't hate anyone here, sometimes I might be simply challenging your thought process or perhaps think outside your box
Or frustrated a little at you as the potential to be a better fantasy player is there, but you need to take feedback onboard, take a breath and then make a decision. Probably helps you IRL as well
More mentor than player now, getting too old haha

Haha nope just a member on a forum watching pretend numbers and fantasy player stocks and posting the same 50 gifs
The thing I am probably most proud on here and seeing is an entire section of team trackers
Its not easy writing it all down for people to see, but it does help
I hope that would be my fantasy legacy, even if I played a small part of inspiring it many many years ago haha

Not 100% keen. Might hold trades and hope for a better cow in later weeks. Who makes more money? - Thompson - or just holding Tuilagi?
I don't know. I'm clearing the decks, going with Thompson now. Like you I'm hoping for a better cash cow to come along. I've still got Bullemore/Paulo/Ilias etc who will probably need moving on sooner or later.

As I mentioned I kind of with you here. Reminds me last year of jumping on Bridge Jones when Friz came back a bit early and he immediately went back to the bench for 15 points.

Something to think about as well with a comment about fallen guns
With all the crap cows its not end of the world if you can get a few bargain bin players
Mcinnes/Crichton to name a few, going to be interesting especially with Cleary back very soon

My mind's telling me no, but my body, my bodyyyyy, is telling me yyyyyeeeeesssss, baby (trading Crichton)
I don't wanna hurt no body, but there is something I must confess.
I don't see nothin' wrong, with a little bump n grind (trade rage)

Pretty sure I tried to talk you out of that. Seemed a bit late for him. Are we late on Leo though??

I think simultaneously a lot of people have gone way overboard with Leo expectations, and also he's probably a worthwhile buy, albeit with quite a lot of role risk.

Thinking pulling Bullemor and Amone for Thompson and Sexton 50k in the kitty (Will make A Fifta and Koula a problem for another day)
Keen to hear everyones thoughts on Sexton, Can also afford Teddy as well but will give me only 1k left over

I’m just going to do 1 trade Tuilagi to Starling. I’ll worry about Cleary in 2-3 weeks time not gonna tear my team apart for him.
Tuilagi to Starling leaves me with 35 trades left and:
51k itb
Randall
Haas M. King J. King
Fifita Nanai
Mann Schneider
Tago Penisini
Teddy Pap S. Crichton
Hynes Arrow Starling Grant
Ilias Bullemor Billy Smith Koula
Thoughts?

Re Bullemor I get the feeling they will move him to middle soon. Davey is around, Lawton can play edge too and Schuster probs not too far away. Bullemor in the middle playing 35-40mins can score at a ppm.

Perhaps. To be honest I don't think Manly's forwards have been doing the job. Their play the ball speed has been tragic, not giving DCE and turbo space. DCE's kicks have been noticeably rushed sometimes.
