Just as I was considering whether this was the week to upgrade him too. Lucky boy.

Well that's going to be the endless debate of the week.

Latrell plays for a better team. Going to get plenty of attacking stats from tries, assists, goals. Can be a bit of an up and down scorer though but it averages out.

Doueihi more reliable scorer on paper. Boots the ball a lot and tends to have heavy involvement. DPP could be useful.

I don't really think you can go wrong with either one. When in doubt between choices I just go with which player do I like more. That's hardly faultless logic but it works for me.

714 in round 17 saw me go from 3702 > 1176. 1048 this round puts me at 765 overall, courtesy of Latrell and new recruit D(C)E. Healthy amount of trades remaining (4+4) so the charge is on.

This is class

Well I had a pretty good round shame on Pap costing me a bit and now having lost 100k but shit happens. I scored 1002 for the round rank up from 638 to 541. I’m gonna obviously have to trade Pap out to Doueihi or Trell. I think I’ll go Trell as he plays for my team and we will get more attacking opportunities than the Tigers. I apologise to those in advance with me bringing in Trell it would not shock me if he scores below 35 next week he will be up and down but I’m playing for the avg.

I’m eyeing off....

Pap to Trell
May to Booth
M. King to Grant

and maybe Lolo to Murray unless I wait a week! I have 4 plus 4 trades left.

Thoughts?


Also yes for you guys that was probs an entertaining game as a neutral but for me I was literally shaking at the game that last 10mins I was so nervous and stressed it was heart attack material! It’s often like this when we play the Dogs I’m just relieved we won. That’s the best game of Tatola career 62mins 1 try 21 for 234 metres and 33 tackles best on ground for mine!


Next week we have the battle of me vs Beth I’m very very worried because our right edge without Campbell has gone to poo the Sydney Heads have opened up! Milne had probs the worst game I’ve seen from a centre all year. I think Jed Cartwright will play centre next week also not ideal Storm could score 6 tries down that edge and Bellamy will tear strips off them it could be an ambush they often do it to us! Anyway I am enjoying tonight first!

Need my voice to recover really had to use it in that second half today!

I’m annoyed I bought Tapine, I didn’t even really want him but just picked him because he was next most expensive player after Cook got ruled out

This time of season when you can pick any gun is harder than the start because your watchlist is massive

Weekly review in my team tracker

1057 points, up to 194,

Top of H2H league 11,

Thoughts on post papy planning,

Have a read if you’re bored! And feel free to comment in there

Getting papy instead of Latrell 3 weeks ago is going to be one of those season defining trades

Looks like Papy to Latrell on the cards this week as a popular trade

Yep agonised over it and went Pappy FOMO along with Cheese same week , bloody loud mouth

Had a lot go right this season (McInnes early, Tago eventually, Angus early, Latrell this week as examples), however picking up Turbo and Papy right before season ending injuries hurts, especially considering I could have chosen Teddy instead both times!

I think its a sign.

(Also it means Walsh probably stays in the side long term now - too many other fires).

@danseels I think this is the second time i've had you H2H this year in league 6, lost by ~10 pts and had the second highest total in the league.

Can't catch a break

Great round dude

Round score of 1006, upto 2807. Climbed 400 ranks... consistently climbing
Papy -> Doohei or Haas this week is a lock. Will see how the week goes.

Its just one of those things. Latrell could easily have smashed someone in the jaw again and if Papy stayed fit we'd be cheering our astute choice.

I got both but given what I paid for Papy it’s the same net result

Having watched three or four Raiders games over the last month, he just looks busy where ever he is positioned (although Mid is preferrable). I think he scores ok and stays for the season, I definitely have bigger fires to put out.

I'm just more annoyed that something was telling me to trade Pap to Latrell before the Storm game yesterday. Kind of scary.

At least its not one of those situations where Latrell is out of reach now and its an easy swap.

Yeah mate I was watching our H2H til the end and I thought for sure you’d get me with Trell lighting it up,was just lucky that RFM kept ticking over. Great round for you too mate

844 same problem

Last look I had at fantasy scores Tago was on about 45? at half time. Was going to loop him in over Palasia but completely forgot. Was pretty annoyed. Relieved to see he didn't go much higher.  

Latrell = Good
Papy = Not so good.
The rest of my guys yesterday a bit underwhelming it seems.

Papy to Dave Fifita probs for me

I tipped the Tigers, lol. Didn't see the game but that would have been glorious if they got up.

Scored 979 and moved up slightly to 1191

Three of my four NPRs scored better than Barnett, Young, Hughes, Papy (injured obvs) and Walsh. Even Kennedy at 21 with a respectable 34. haha. swings and roundabouts.

If you take goal kicking out of the equation, this year DCE (61.9) > Cleary (57.1)

[Of course GK counts for fantasy. It took DCE from 76 to 88 this week]

Updated to 881, lost about 370 spots, not too bad for a 16 player squad.
Just frustrating that Volkman and Cook were ruled out, but it is what it is.
