If he goes back to averaging 40s, you'll only get 2 price rises out of him before he starts losing cash again

You have to remember that it is too late to get the 98 added to your score. And it is too late to get the big price rise that is coming this week.

Trade Mbye in if and only if you think he'll keep scoring big regularly.

And you'd be foolish for not buying him next week. He is the form half in the competition at the moment.

Do you have him now? Or are you getting him next week?

Roosters: No changes expected, with Daniel Tupou to return from an ankle injury as named. Jackson Hastings will play through a quad injury but won't kick goals.

Who would kick then?

Mitchell was kicking goals against the Rabs

Saw something saying it would be the Latrellinator this week, but not sure if it was official.

 Hmm if Latrell kicking possibly. Him or Feeny in my scoring 17? Tough one.

Garvey won't play when Lichaa is fully fit.

They might share games for a short while when he first comes back. But Des's preference is for an 80 minute hooker

Do you have him already? If not who will you trade or for him?

Dropped 6,000 places last night with Carty (39) my only player.
Assume that's largely people with Graham and Garvey (or both) leaping ahead.

638th in match day last night. Perrett and Merrin were my only faults and got captain (Graham) and vice (Mbye) around the wrong way.

Your basing this on what exactly? Only two teams have played more than 1 game.....

is anyone actually dropping someone like hodgson/etc for him?

I traded Ash Taylor for Garvey this week. Just don't see A Taylor doing that well but I could be wrong. Would be a bonus if A Taylor stagnates in price and/or TMM comes along at the right times. 3/4 weeks time for Garvey and after round 8 for Hastings/Niko when pearce takes over. Only problem is I didn't play Garvey and was only expecting 35 points. Nice bonus. Kudos to those who have him in their 17

I can also see Holland playing a significant amount of games this year. Broke tackles got offloads and kicked goals. Reckon Stanley might find it pretty hard to get back in the side.
And if Stanley does come back in I would say that an injury to either centre or either winger he might be first cab of the rank now.
Bulldogs have good byes etc. will be around $147,000 after price changes - probably my trade from Ben Henry this week. If he continues to kick goals, make tackles, break tackles, offload and maybe jag a try he could be a nice little cash cow.

Edit: and he's quite confident for a rookie - the ice man

Mansour is a ball breaker. I was convinced he'd be better than he has shown. His lst 15mins last night was how I pictured him playing for at least 60mins a game.

Ball got stuck with Peachy on that side far to often.

I picked a fairly solid (read: Expensive $$) Centre/ FB combo for my team thinking, they would take some of the load from the forwards with reduced interchange. Its not looking good for that theory.

So in light of all this, whats the tactic for Centres. Consistent 30's from players worth 350k+ isn't acceptable. Do I stock these positions with cheapies and use that money to back in the forwards?(which it seems most people where smart enough to do form the start).

Or, will there be consistent acceptable scores coming out of any backs?

That last goal overshadowed his performance. I thought he had a very strong game allround and looked like breaking the line on a few occassions. Plenty to like

Only had Garvey and gained 500 places.

Hey guys how urgent do you think a JDB trade is??

Lone Scout ‏@lone_scout
No match review charge for James Graham but David Klemmer is facing a two-match ban after Friday night's Bulldogs win.

Not very mate. BE 46 I think so he won't lose a stack of cash and could potentially make his BE. Got more minutes then you would have hoped last week so after 1 game I'd be holding if I had him. Do you have injuries or bigger fish to fry?

Graham hasn't been charged for the shoulder charge penalty during the game vs Penrith

Have to say it - would the charge have been different if the player had been injured with the hit?

Maybe I'm just gutted that I left Graham out for the first year since he's been in Australia and this is the year he's scoring consistent 60s.

Starting to get the feeling they may be loosening up on the shoulder charge rule; dedaset Graham would have got 3 weeks for that last year. Look how he reacts, he knows he fucked up massively and will be a very relieved lad this morning. Only good can come of this for the game's sake

Yes and I feel the same about not having him. The biggest reason for not having him for me was the dogs not having the great byes they've had the last few years.
