Really? Sauce?
Great news, nothing in either one. Matai's wasn't even a penalty. Great spot tackle.
Taupau's was a penalty but not called. The whole review process is crap. Penalty at the time should count for more at the judiciary.

I think they should put it on report and play on because too often it's not a foul but the team gets penalised and the game ruined.
That way the judiciary can be fairer too and not have to back up a mistaken ref which seems to happen too often to trust the system.

The top 10 already has scores of 920 down to 840 odd, hopefully all of their players are done.

Where do you see this? I can't find it in the App on my ipad anywhere??

I thought it was a shoulder rub ... not a shoulder charge

Yeah but last year i remember them charging a manly winger for standing still and having the defender run into his shoulder lol

Warriors wrote:

820+ There will be a few teams that have scored really well this week but in 3 weeks time they will be back or behind the pack.

Last years first round highscore was 908...
I think this year will probably be around 850

Why do you say that re teams being back or behind the pack in three weeks?

Out of interest, what was everyone's projected score before the start of round 1?

Source was straight from manly page, out so cant copy link at the moment

To cut players like Whitehead, Green, Ferguson, Grant and the like is just ridiculous. They may have underperformed, but the signs are there that they'll be decent moving forward.

You spent 2-6 weeks hand picking your team based on research, statistics and theories (mostly from Milchow). Stick with them. At least for more than one week.

It just blows my mind that people are willing to cut blokes after one lower to average looking score - particularly in games where there were extremely hot conditions, monsoonal downpours and side to side hail mary attacking strategies.

Have some patience. You will be rewarded.

You need much more than one round of data for any sort of fair judgement - otherwise you'll run out of trades by round 17 and regret not having 'Player X' when he starts hitting his straps and making 100k.

Q: Who will play halves for the Raiders with Williams?
Q: Hookers: Garvey (mins?) Panthers hooker (who?), Randell (80mins) or J Nik and get Cody Walker in?
Q: Will Cherrington get more minutes this week?
Q: Is it worth dumping DCE for another cash cow? Manly are in disarray.
Q: WFB cheapie to start instead of fafa-Feeney? Got Barba and Mansour need another 30pt-er.

Lachlan Croker maybe given a shot but if not ready I can see Josh Hodgson going to half if Clydesdale is deemed fit with Baptise/Clydesdale to share role.
Garvey and Cody Walker seem great options.
Don't waste your time with Cherrington, Farah back in three weeks probably.
Do not dump DCE, 50 points for a half with no attacking stats is amazing! Year round keeper! Sit tight.
Feeney will improve but not against Souths on that form. Hoping for positional switch of Roosters so can go with Latrell Mitchell.

Edit: beaten

So do you reckon mine team is in with a chance?

Unfortunately i have no more to play but this weeks line up was like this:

Tedesco
Green
Henry
Hunt
Radradra
Milford
Thurston
Parker
Merrin
Cartwright
Gallen
Fifita
Cherrington

Evans
Rochow
Turner
Carter

Henry will obviously have to go, and I don't think i will sit on Gallen for 6 weeks, so they are my first couple of trades.

Anyone have the link for the price change tool Milchow posted over the weekend?

Wow so many injuries...
...so many opportunities
I thought NFF was going to be boring this year with limited interchanges leading to smaller player pools but suspensions and injuries have livened things up nicely.

It's in the stickied spreadsheet thread

But here it is again anyway
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b6c5cy0c1941i4g/Price_predictor.xlsx

To support my above reasoning, I've listed below some round 1 scores from 2015. Players who ended up being elite fantasy scorers in their positions by seasons end:

Parker 37
Thurston 33
Hunt 30
Merrin 39
Tedesco 34
Peats 22
Bromwich 34
W.Graham 26
Jackson 20
Dugan 27
Hodgson 23
Inglis 35
Morgan 12
Tauk 25
Austin 21

No Austin without Sezer as well. When Austin went off the play was focused down his side. Without either of them it may be divided up more which will be good for him.

Yes I was going to add this too. Good for Whitehead also would be good for Leilua who I also have

I made a team purely bases around having 17 for each origin round and im on 707 with widdop and mann to go, decent start.

Need to sell him before he plays tonight

How many points do you have? Rochow and Carter should be reserves. Trade Radradra and Gallen for backs (bring Benry into 2nds) that score.
