He wasn't a terrible player.

I see no other cows.

Other than the raider we dont speak of.

His record in 10 games at FB with Cowboys over 2 seasons is absolute joke. 300k is an absolute joke. Anyone that buys this week is committing self harm based on nothing but romantic nostalgia

Friday will be fun though, "when does schuster come back?" "how many weeks does Davey need?"
Manly always go well against the sharks

The Sharks v. Sea Eagles games are usually a cracker - tough and lot's of speed in the outside backs. 
I expect nothing less than a see-sawing affair, and just quietly hoping to see A.Fifita get into a bit of push & shove with Keppie.

I'm set on picking up Pong-dong, now he isn't hampered by the injury cloud and has finally committed to the Knights long-term (I wonder how much extra coin his dad's wrangling got out of the Knights??) he may have bottomed out. 
I would love to have Talakai sitting in my centres, but Tago isn't exactly a spud. 
Ridding myself of Coates (has been cooling his heels in my Emg all year) for Taafe will do.

Have you had Ponga in your team before? Many that have previously, like me won't have him again.

That's quite a strong post.

I'm getting starling vibes from you.

Coates to Taaffe is sideways as hell. For all Taaffe gift GKs last week 36pts is rubbish

I said Starling average between 50-60mins wasn't great as Frawley was on the bench. Get TMM, it's not my team

Yeah if you're selling Coates, get Edrick who is 100k cheaper than Taaffe and will score about as much the way they're going

I've played various codes of Fantasy sports long enough to know not to indefinitely rule out players that have slighted me in the past

i don't think anyone is expecting much more than mid 30's for taaffe anyway, but its kind of pointless to judge on one game. as if his 'base stats' are going to be exactly the same each week.

I once saw a cow in the far back paddock trying to keep up with the other cows
He was older and had bad medical issues a few years back but it took a break and returned.
Fair play to that cow on the recovery, even playing club rugby in small town nz so credit for even getting a chance again
On a development contract, 300k in the fantasy game and in its prime averaged 23 at fullback when TB's were worth more I don't know what to expect

Anyways what do you call a cow with questionable milk and no legs?
Ground beef

I expect that both Ponga and Papy have had their highest scores for the season already.

Is there a reason Ponga didn't get a banner for his 102?

Loomer wrote:

Might as well throw his 2 big minute games at Eels 2 seasons ago in the bin. He's 32pt avg with 65min avg from 4 with Manly and the 80 min 37 and try in one game skew upwards quite a bit

Statistics can be skewed to suit any argument if you haven't realised yet haha
I am sorry but that doesn't suit my agenda

I sent it to Random on Tuesday so not sure what the hold up is

Agreed, leave him at ctr all season and worry about other parts of your team, its not worth burning trades on.
His draw is decent the next 6 weeks

I’ll be looking to get Burton around round 9-10 I think.

I expect Talakai and Mulitalo have had their highest scores for their career, but that doesn’t mean it’s a fact.

Leo Thompson.....over $100k more than when I bought him and hasn't stunk up my 17 once.

Hoped for more but not devastated with that, kind of meets the expectations I set. He can sit a few weeks until someone else comes along.

As someone that held through his “2 week” injury last year I don’t know why I expected he’d be back in the normal timeframe

It's why I was perfectly happy to start with Bullemor and ride the price rises for the first 2 months of the season whilst he was a high scoring starting edge

I thought Dogs were looking good and not infringing any worse than any other teams do and surprise surprise usual suspect, Gerard Sutton, engineers a load of 6 agains to justify sin bin soon after.

Was 5 six agains and 2 penalties in a row mate they were hanging on for a long time in tackles we couldn’t play the ball constant second efforts and holding down when he was saying get out of there held the Dogs wouldn’t release. In the audio he gave them 2 warnings as well.
