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

As expected you make it personal with digs against other members, that's not even good banter and which you seem to do more than most, but what exactly is wrong with thinking if people don't make sure they set C before deadline they should get a handout? I've put $70 into cash leagues and I'm sure others a lot more not to mention just free to play  players. Why should they be punished and possibly lose H2Hs/weekly prizes because opponent hasn't done the absolute basic of checking their team is set correctly before deadline? Makes absolutely no sense

TU: S Crichton to Walsh
TD: Hold

Gut says it's sideways, but I'm still tempted to go hard.

I picked up Hammer because I thought it was more useful than a Savage Avo. A wait and see on the correct option (probably not what I picked)

I thought about grabbing him yesterday but I didn't think it through at all. Forgot Feldt was out so Hammer should play wing with Holmes back - decent chance of scoring a heap of tries there

Yeah, Hammer looks like a good punt.

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

This will sound cynical, but I think he'd have to move to a Sydney club. He's a bit out of sight, out of mind.

'As expected' suggests u don't read the forum much, had a bad week have we ?

'that's not even good banter and which you seem to do more than most' - you are all class mate, i'll try and weed through your posts in the future & pick when it is and isn't ok to have a sense of humour. Man alive.

Going to follow MTB's thought pattern and revert back to the trades I was happy with yesterday just so my mind is at ease.

TPJ to Angus (C) (so that one is locked in)
Ilias to Walsh
Peoples to RFM
Yeo to Tohu (Yes I said he would not leave my team and Probs sideways asf, but someone put forward a good argument for him being rested with the Panthers killing it the next few weeks so opted for Tohu as a keeper over him, plus meant I got to keep Hastings as my second half next to Cleary)

Hammer was still in negative until 35th minute try from memory and try was from ridiculous Isaako error so he's probably going to be rocks and diamonds

Just noticed recently if some one having a personal dig at me 99% likely it's you. Never funny either just low hanging fruit. I may be sarcastic but try not to make personal digs against other posters like some do on here but you carry on.

Captain Robbo and Fermor doing the job early doors!

The Welshies do however have the worse current 3 WFB playing perhaps in the history of fantasy football! Looking forward to scooping up their combined 39 points

Lewis Brown says hi.... (I'm sure he had WFB DPP one year.....I think he scored 3 points for me on a bye round once)

Hmm sadly probably on the mark. But if the Cows continue to kill it the next few years he will be centre stage, so hard to ignore.
Only 23 and with Cook now in his 30s, he could be NSWs future 9 for some years if they take the punt

Is it worth doing a 4th trade to piss off Vailea - would be one of the forum faves, Savage or Avo.

Or is it better to hold him as a red dot for l**ping for awhile and wait for a more certain prospect (that may never come).

I did Yeo to Angus last night and put the C on him so I couldn't change. Meant I could keep Hastings too so I'm fine with it.

That will be my fourth trade. With rounds 14 and 18 usually a bit hairy with players backing up and numbers can be short, I'm going to opt for an extra 15 points this week but some depth if it's needed next week. All depends how many trades you have going into the round too.

What's the likelihood that trade makes any money enough to use another trade to  get cow or gun? When you're down to your last trade will this one be the one you think back to and say I wish I hadn't wasted that trade? If not go for it

Yeah, if Cows are making the finals every year he's a shot.

NSW Selectors take a lot more notice of the good Sydney teams, then good teams, then Sydney teams, then the rest. I think Addo-Carr would attest to that. I've heard an argument he was dropped as out of form because he rushed out of the line to let a try in on the weekend. Which is bullshit, because that's exactly how he has always defended at the Storm as well. Other line has been to counter the height of Coates and Cobbo but To'o is about 5'4". They should just be honest and say he looks less flash when playing on the end of the backline of a crappy team.

Not as many as you haha. 12 before making a 4th. Which is why I'm leaning towards holding him.

Cheers, that's how I'm looking at it. Think it's a hold for me.

But for the record, no matter what happens from here the #1 trade I wish I hasn't wasted will be Trent Peoples. Fuck that guy.

If it makes you feel better I have gone balls to the wall and I am down to 9 left after 4 this week, with the plan of not using any more (injury aside) until round 17.

Just like all other years this will probably turn to custard, but was the only way I could see making significant rank changes. Just got to hope for some luck now.

You 12/11 after trades looks much better than my 9 haha
