I might just give Mann another run around tonight not really an urgent out just yet.

Yes was thinking the same.

134/2 (Hynes and Aitken) so happy so far. Hopefully my cows/midrangers can pull out some nice scores.

Playing today:

Randall, Mann, Tago, Crichton
Papenhuyzen
Schneider, Starling, Fifita, Sexton, Clark

Good game last night, very scrappy but entertaining.
Murray has some great form. Scooting Cook is back . Ilias is starting to get a bit more confidence. And congrats to Billy the Smith owners, he had a nice 20+ point play to boost the cash.
I didn't see the other game, but it sounds like I didn't miss much
Can't believe Lucy didn't get a bunker review of the potential try he scored. Odd decision.

This is for vsdt. I've already done Angus to Yeo with 1 trade. Which of the following do you like:
(a) K. Mann (in my hlf) out - Clifford in or
(b) Mahoney, Shiller out - Starling, Clifford in (via K. Mann) - This would have Mann as 4th wfb after Tedesco, Pappy, Hynes or
(c) Mahoney, K. Mann out - Starling, DCE in

so (a) means 2 trades & (c)/(d) uses trade boost.

Thanks.

134/2 here as well. Looking forward to some more of my team in action.

It wasn't a try no downward pressure

Yeah, I am, looking at getting Murray instead of Cleary this coming week. Can do it in 1 trade for Latrell.
Looking like new shoulder, new coach, new captain, new role.

Walters looks like he will be a high PPM 25-30 minutes. 32 in 25 minutes last week. Really provides impact from the bench.

I'd back him to score more in 25-30 minutes than Ilias gets in 80.

Id say both of their floors are around 10pts. Walters needs an injury to get serious mins. Coates is capable of a 50 or 60 score but those are few and far between for him anyway.

Flip of a coin

You were so high on Mitchell 2 weeks ago and even last week. Not sure how last night changes your views so much. He didn't do anything different that we didn't expect from him. He's always been lazy. Next 5 games Bunnies have Panthers, Dragons, Dogs, Tigers and Manly, then Broncos. I see no reason to ditch him.

It is more that I am really high on Murray. Need to find a way to get him in and can only easily do that with Latrell. Expecting a strong return of points for a $150k upgrade. Murray could easily be this year's supergun, matching Cleary and Turbo. At just over $800k, he gives solid points every week at a minimum and has a huge ceiling.

I was high on Mitchell, when I was expecting him and Walker to be looking great in attack together. Walker is struggling without Reynolds, and I expect that to impact Mitchell's scoring as well. Murray has shown that he can score really well in games they are both winning and losing, and is actually benefitting from the lack of form from Cody, taking on more play making as well, with 2 TAs this week.

Sneaking Murray in now, while everyone else is focused on ripping their teams apart to get Cleary, the next few weeks, should see Murray remain a POD

Kudos to those who started with Murray, he's having a good run, similar to Yeo. I won't be chasing either of them at this stage unless there is an injury to my other guns.
It's just too small of a sample size

If you're still going to 21sts don't worry, there is no way you have peaked. Late 20s/early 30s best time of your life still to come mate!

Haha oh man. To be young and innocent again. I do miss that age where anything seems possible. Agree re late 20s/early 30s though.

I do realise he is just being silly re peaked

AFB my only concern. Hopefully he was just not involved as much because he was still a bit ginger? Will be on the watch list for next week.

As long as he averages above 45 I'll probably hold him through to round 13, but he is one of my options to get Cleary $ so he's on thin ice.

I am 31, happiest I've ever been (despite it also being more challenging than early 20s. Good times lads.

Billy Smith getting roasted on the chookpen not first grade standard they’re saying! There has been some great reads on there this morning bringing a big smile to my face.
