King keeps chugging along, 70 mins averagem 42 tackles average, 128 metres,  58.8 points, 620k to start the round

Yeah it’s not just the points that makes me happy to have started with him it’s the cash flow, this game will keep that ticking over nicely.

56 just in base stats and the only player looking likely I’m seeing him being more of a go to in the attacking 20 moving forward.
Just got to try figure out how I can afford him.

Ipap with a quiet 78.

Uto making some more cash, but hard to trust when to play him with his scores so up and down

wow nice pick up bro, i had him all last year (bar last few weeks) and he was just sorta adequate, hes much better this year

Hoskings a must have if he plays IMO, if nothing than for the quick cash.

So what is the thinking behind this thought? If we got news that Martin would sit another week would 1 week be a must have? Or is the line of thinking that he jags the other side? Personally I see that as less likely because he’d have to oust Garner and the weak gutted dog who are sharing that spot.

Thanks but I’m thinking he’s just a lot more fortunate to circumstance this season. It was why I took the punt in the first place really, after seeing their bench makeup I couldn’t see him losing minutes and probably only gaining, which is what has happened with the continuous injury rotation at the storm doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

Observation would be Haas is much more effective with reduced minutes. First two runs in the final stint really bent the line and got an offload away.
At least I think it was him, I was in the third row from the top of the stadium

He got two in quick succession. Was glorious. Safe travels.

Yeah but an extra hundy in price makes him only a looky but not touchy atm.

My second lowest, although I have had 10 players. You'll be pleased to know that my lowest is Walsh.

Looking good mate!

Not trying to rain on Warbricks parade but totting up the stats on FootyStats I only get to 56 not 64. Some one want to check my math? Is it the total we trust or the stats? Or am I missing something?

Bought Ford this week and had to move him to 19th man to get Warbricks score

8/501c + Warbrick. Seems so-so. Will see how the rest of the round goes!

656/10c

Only way is down from here

I'm also interested in this discussion. A lot of hyperbole last night. Why are we bringing in Hosking? Cash cow or keeper? Is Garner fit? Which edge does he play? Coach said Martin back next week. Coaches lie but what is the Hosking role? If he has the role at his price, is he worth it (I think he is, but threw it in there).

Thanks dude (actually love 10 mins from Lang Park so home already )

501/7(C)

Loiero's 56 is my lowest score so far.

Excited to see how the rest of my team lets me down from here.

Hosking is backup 2rf and this forum will make you believe he is the next Fensom

I think probably a cash cow/stepladder if he is named on left edge with Garner out of side? No guarantee of that, maybe even no likelihood of that.

92 is great but Penrith play the way they always have and they have had a succession of high-quality edges (higher quality than Hosking) who play well and do not put up keeper scores (Martin, Capewell, Kikau). They'll have had a few 92-type games as well

Add to that the Cleary rotation of 2rfs where Milchcow's 80-minute rule does not apply, not sure Hosking is a must have if you're making cash elsewhere, although even a few 40s will see him make decent coin for three weeks. As ever, a spot of expectation management could be in order for buyers.

321/7 to temper all the amazing scores,

captain still to play

opposite of last week, reynolds 31 was a big disappointment, but game didnt find him,

rest hitting 40's whereas everyone elses players getting high 50s and 60s

still plenty of time to turn the week around,

CAm murray ton needed!
