He's done it! He's now made more posts about Talakai in the last 24 hours than Talakai scored points last night. A wonderful achievement.

DCE was on 10 at the break, with 5 missed tackles, mostly on guess who.

Hynes?

Edit. Sorry, didn't mention Talakai in my post.

Think I may go Walters to Lee, but it will probably be a bum move. Would probably prefer Taaffe, but would be for Thomo.

What are people doing with Walters? I dont want Taaffe but there is no other option around that price range. No, Edrick is not an option.

67, 11 point 2nd half.

Only thing going the Bunnies way for a top 8 finish is the fact there is only 6 good teams. Would need 2 of Titans/Knights/Warriors/Cowboys/Raiders to step up and finish in that lower tier

Yeah last week when I said the Rabbits are probably an unconvincing top 8 team still, I can't really see a line-up with Cook, Murray, Latrell and Walker when he's on struggling against those teams too much. Decent enough experience in the forwards and backs.. just the rookie HB problem, but other than SJ the rest aren't particularly experienced either.

I went Lee. Taaffe would just be locking up extra cash.

Does Rushton get a decent run with Whiteheads injury?

Holding, not an urgent trade out, not a lot of cash to play with, even if you do trade him out.
Wait for a role change or better cow. Hard to know which will come first.

Rushton is mislabled in Fantasy. He is not an edge. Played mostly big minute lock in NSW Cup with Prop game thrown in. I'm getting him late and might throw in 17

You think Ricky will play him as many as 35 mins vs. Panthers and he could be a 20 year old tackling beast and score 35 points? Sounds crazy mate.

Can't see him scoring worse than Ilias or Leo

Fair call I guess I'd begrudgingly play Ilias, but good luck man. Hopefully busts over for a try in limited minutes or gets more than expected and tackles his ass off.

Hate to see my stats

Start the season at price of a fallen gun with hype around return to greatness. Spend the first half of the year bleeding cash and pissing off owners who sell on mass. Great performance through the bye rounds and a strong run home to start the cycle all over again the next year

In last NSW Cup game his post contact metres were 83. In context that's 12 more than most pcm player in Sharks vs Manly game last night

I can see why Ricky has opted for a younger player than Guller against the baby panthers. But I'm not expecting Rushton to get enough minutes to make it a worthwhile trade option atm. But injuries and HIAs mess with minutes all the time

Talakai more than held his own defensively up against Gagai, who was the form CTR of the comp leading up to that game.

Pretty sure that Talakai is not the only one holding his own

Catching up on todays posts, wish I didn’t haha

And here I thought the name of the game was to fit as many guns into your team and in turn score the most overall points

It’s a balance, sure I could bring in Haas and a red dot but playing for overall points so taumalolo and cotter it is. It will happen naturally but not going to force the issue, same as planning on cleary a few weeks ago, wasn’t going to trade out 2 guns for him this week
I took a couple weeks to fix my team and brought him in his second game, nothing forced or reactionary

If you simply swap guns each week after a good/bad score how do you get ahead?

Team value will probably tell a story in a few weeks

I agree with the sentiment but there is a reason to do this sometimes, and that's when you're selling a gun at a high price and getting another one that's cheap and going up.

For example, I sold Fifita to Hynes before round 3, when Fifita was 773k and Hynes was 661k.

That trade earned me 112k bank, and roughly the same scores, and since then Hynes has appreciated a lot in value while Fifita lost money and has now made it back.

That said, unless it's a situation like that where one gun is going down and another one is going up, selling guns is generally a bad idea. I sold Teddy this week to get Cleary in but I had planned to sell him over Origin anyway.
