Yep Dufty definitely my main reason of being hesitant. Surely he comes back at some point? I guess if Avo kills it, then he won't

At the same time, hasn't he had enough chances? Surely the Dogs realise he's a dud.

Yea good point and with him off to Super League, perhaps they've decided as he isnt great that there's no point persevering with a guy leaving, so let's give someone who's sticking around next year a go.

Hmm, might take me all day to decide on RFM or Avo and will likely decide wrong just before kick off

Oh true, Duffy off to Super League next year, I didn't know that. Makes Avos case stronger. Might take the punt.

Makes me feel much better about missing out on Robson because I did similar.

Sorry to hear Chewie I guess just pretend you're playing with 1 less good player.

Ouch, that hurts Chewie, right at your time to strike too.

I did warn everyone

Thanks for the support lads... I'm not doing great this season anyway, but will still make up some ground this round.
I have thrown my full support behind #TeamDarkKnight and #TeamMulvy
(I have flashbacks to #TeamZora & #TeamVerbal from a few seasons back)

Rough luck mate - although reading this did make me panic and flick tabs to check!

Although hey, my Burton (c) is still perfectly capable of scoring 44. There's still lots of time for others to join you on the RegretExpress!

Hmmmm....Savage scoring a 73 at FB last year in round 18. Looks like an anomaly, but makes the Savage vs Avo debate more interesting.

Seeing as we're doing dream scenarios, I've got Tago and May combining for four tries, Burton kicking 800m and scoring a late consolation try, and 65 minutes of Ming.

It's not all bad, Robson and Sexton both scored a try, so that's a good start. gained over 2000 spots last night.
I think top 5,000 is a realistic goal for me this season

Not sure either of them are great options, but:

Price: Savage cheaper. One point to him.

Break Even: Similar. Half a point each.

Job security: Both probably have to kill it to keep their position after a month vs CNK/Rapana or Dufty/Allan. Who's more likely to? I'd say Savage, but marginal. Half a point each.

Scoring potential: More attacking stats on offer for the Raiders than the Bulldogs. Point to Savage imo.

Positional utility: Depends on team makeup but HLF/CTR probably more useful than WFB. Averillo +1

Savage 3, Averillo 2 (4-1 if you need a WFB)

Titans looked a lot better when he went to lock. Strong runner of the ball, made a few half breaks. That sort of role for 40-50 mins off the bench might be his best position.

Probably, I think he's a very average hooker. At least he's straightened up a bit this season - last year he was so bad I think they looked better when Tyrone Peachey was playing dummy half

Beat the Sharks 34-18. Sharks had missed tackle fest no surprises SJ with game high 9. Will that happen against Roosters? Possible but unlikely

First time I've watched Cowboys closely this season, as often had things on when they've played previously.

Fantasy aside, was seriously impressed with Robson's real life play. His pass is quick and direct more often than not and his ability to dart out of dummy half and choose the right time to do so was seriously impressive.

Future Origin star for NSW do we think?

Also really enjoyed the style Cowboys played with, will have to try catch more of their games me thinks

I made some last minute changes to my trades, rolled the team back, ran out of time, and ended up with Cleary(c) and Hynes(vc)

Now I'll never catch up to DK and Mulvy

This is where the game fails, if this happens u should get someone, anyone as captain. Like last week's captain, auto or the 4th highest scorer this week. Something.

They gave him last weeks captain.

No. It's no different in other fantasy games unless I'm unaware of one. Why punish diligent people that make sure this stuff is set especially with cash leagues and such

Hmmmm..........

Lots to ponder today:

Its so funny, as soon as i read Matts reply, i thought instantly of posting something about not being in the mindset of Matt/Loomer/Beth You would need a room with a queen size bed if anyone said 'get a room'.

Be more diligent @Chewie, ffs. Use the force or something, ok ??

I made my trades yesterday and I'm just telling myself they're locked out, to avoid further thought.

I am also not picking up either Averillo or Savage so both of them should do alright
