If it makes you feel any better I had the C on him right up until I finished the first glass of cognac.

Then my IQ really kicked in.

If you didn’t have Ipap would you buy him this week or wait? I can get either of Ipap or McInnes this week.

I think you're paying slight overs for iPap priced around 67-68.

The Round 13 results for Fantasy Fantasy are posted over here


Cheers

Any interest in Barnett, Garner, or Hughes?

Barnett I nearly grabbed a few weeks back so I think the ship has sailed

Garner interesting if he holds the second row spot as a centre keeper

Hughes needs a lot of attacking stats to score like last season. I know good players tend to get a fair few attacking stats but think I'd prefer Hastings and Hunt if looking for halves in that range

SJ to Moses this week. That handsome fuck has turned my head for the last time

Starling to another r17 player with the other trade. No real positional need at this point so its just whoever I can afford. Maybe preferring someone cheap to build some bank for post origin guns

Sneaking up there, 212 overall. Going hard at 17 and hoping a couple of trades and some luck will be enough for the run home

Mulitalo got unfairly caught up in all the Talikai bashing, but has averaged 49.1 since round 4. With a 16 being the low point. Him and Walsh plus Suli, Manu , Edwards are going to be it for me in the backs. Can't chase all the guns from here on in.

Sentiment is the same but I'm backing To'o, Latrell and possibly Ponga. Brimson on the shopping list if he ends up back below 500k again

Still interested in Wade Graham as an underpriced R17 option.

Stefano has gotten very cheap, any chance he gets back to bigger minutes?

Both on my list as filler options for back end of the 17

Looking at WFB I'll be moving Fermor/Butcher to Guth soon.

I like the Eels' fixtures, he can go large, is comparatively cheap and low-held. A roll of the dice, but I think the Eels will come good during/after Origin and he'll be a major beneficiary.

BBrailey, Hughes, Reyno, Papy the other targets. 11 trades left - leave 6 to cover injuries. No rush.

I moved him on last week. Even with extra minutes missed tackle count is way up and run metres way down

R.I.P. Rocky Laurie.

Only looking at one possible trade this week. But feel I may just be chasing points..

I don’t need the Mid cover but they’re priced identical right now and heading different directions.

Thoughts?

TU: Tago to Elliott
TD: save the trade

That's pretty conclusive mate  9 down gets you 1 up.

To be fair I see the logic, but Tago is a borderline keeper and there's a bunch of risk with an R13-Elliott  

If you were going for cash into Bird/Garner, or trading to a guaranteed season keeper I could see it. But 9 -1 for a reason otherwise (and I assume the 1 was WL or some other compulsive trader whose opinion should be treated with respectful caution).

I held Scrit because of Panthers next 2 games. Will be playing the usual trio

To'o tempting.

Making a charge this year MS or cooling the jets for next years prep ?

Fermor or Butcher to Mahoney or Frizell. Or neither. Or both.

BEs mean neither are urgent trades but non-keepers to R17 keepers early, or just wait to make sure the ins don't get play Origin 3?

Checked MTB site. Imagine having the foresight to pick Cook over D. Fifita at the start of the year, saving $20k on the salary cap and keeper level uber-gun, instead of super-soft lazy cat man-child. 

Now imagine you captained that super-soft lazy cat man-child in rounds 2,3, AND 4 always telling yourself yeah, he’ll come good. Then, you look at where you are at at this very moment and you just want to hang your fantasy self for knowing how much of a better position you could be in had you not been so damn adamant about him.

To'o has my vote,if the prick could back up after origin games.

Judging by Alex Twal IG, Doueihi will be playing middle on his return.
