Host *shudder* honestly doesn't look too bad if he is good to go with that shoulder.

Looks like he's got the spot (maybe Arrow takes it?) and it is the year of the ex dragons redemption arc (see Ford). Even his brother in arms Lawrie is killing it back in the old country.

Chee-Kam keeps starting, even if not actually named there. How long before he starts again ( possibly as soon as tomorrow)

I am willing to chalk that up to a statistical outlier simply because it doesn't fit in with what I want to happen.

Mattnz, please stop stealing Filth's login. Unless that's you Beth?

I'm unsure what to do with R.Mahoney, I traded him in a couple of weeks ago and he's rewarded me with a 38 a 43 and a scarcely believable -48 in negatives in the last 2 games.

I want to straight swap him to J.Brailey instead of running them in tandem as was the original plan.

The other option is getting B.Smith back in now that he's bottomed out although I'm still concerned with Turpin on the bench, he only got a 12 min rest last week but that could easily be 20 on average, and he's certainly not going to be getting 3 OFH every game like last week.

I just know as soon as I trade Mahoney back out he's gonna scoot over for a 15 point play just to punish me further.

I think he's got to keep scoring tries.

That's entirely possible, he's perhaps embodies "tries are base stats" more than anyone else we've seen recently

But I think a few single digit scores are possible if he goes on a dry run

Probably bringing him in for HSS.

Looking at the same mate.. otherwise he's stalling cash gen there in 22 for another week.

Fantasy Fantasy Trade Window Closing


A final call for those of you who are in this comp, and have not yet made your trade. The window closes when the Roosters/Storm match begins

Three hours til kick off, bring back daylight savings in the southern states ffs

Same mate. The little weasel deadset averages about 43 for me when I’ve owned him the last 2 years and about 60 when I haven’t. I thought I was ready to be hurt again but should have waited for brailey in hindsight not tandem like you

I’m doing him to the cheese this week and hoping he’s fired up against the storm, then brailey on the menu potentially after that

Definitely happy for outside input but I’m leaving gun hookers for after origin when I’ll get grant

This guy knows what the fuck is up.

8pm kick off, give me a break.

Come live in NZ, Thursday match is 10PM kickoff

Very good point

I honestly still cant bloody believe we have players without faces 6 weeks in.

I think we are going to have to band together, storm the Failhub offices and demand they drop whatever else they are doing (at most its watching cat videos and ignoring emails) and spend the 30mins it will take to give Cheese his smiling mug we all want.

We dont ask for much, but a bloody game where at least the players are all loaded correctly is surely fair

Happy Holidays everyone, feels like a Friday for me, how about you folks?

My trades this week fairly simple, will be bringing in Walsh and Ford, trading out 2 of Carty/MCK/Wakeham - Will make the trades tomorrow

I've only got Warbrick in my team but not in the 17, picking the Storm to win simply because of home ground advantage but really this game is telling me it'll be close and perhaps Golden Point?

Who you tipping and who you got playing tonight?

I think for me Carty gets one more week to see what happens and he likely becomes Cheese next week provided his role is still looking up. Shouldnt cost too much coin to just have one more looksee

"Cronulla Sharks star Nicho Hynes has signed one of the longest contracts in NRL history, extending his time in the Shire until at least the end of the 2029 season."

Nicho is a poor man's Patrick Mahomes

Definitely a gamble but could be massive if he nabs a decent score this week.

100%. He's shown he can put up a big score, and if he does so this week, you're probably laughing all the way to the bank.

I already have two wingers that I don't trust as starters, so I won't be adding a third (unless someone turns up with incredible base stats and a price under $300k)
