Laying the foundations mate, scribing.

Didn't make any regretful trades I hope ?

MF wrote:JMK up 9 to 56

Justice! Looks like he stole 4 from Latrell though

Last time I tried that with Warbrick he scored 13, but then scored 60+ the following week with Teddy on the bye Then he scored 12 last week with Ted out So I would play him for his big one.

Also he's averaging 30, so would expect a 5 point gain longterm.

Any thoughts on why Moale was suddenly trusted with lots of minutes? Do you expect that to continue?

No it won’t continue. Tatola is an outside chance of next week but is likely back for the game against Broncos the week after. Tom played a few less mins than usual too. I think Keaon going off injured stuffed the rotations a bit too. Moale is not a fantasy pick up.

Latrell 66
Murray 57
Cook 53
Ilias 48
Koala 34
Sele 27

No update for Katoa

Guess I’m going to leave in 18, downside of BSmith/Loiero/Ford/Carty isn’t much lower than 40 with higher upside (Loiero main one considering looping, up against Ola’kauatu this week and might miss some more tackles)

57 ain't bad

It isn’t bad. It’s also not amazing.
I’d prefer a 57 from Matto and pocket the $100k to use elsewhere.

My plan was always to trade out Murray around Origin, so all I’m really contemplating is fast forwarding that process to strengthen my team elsewhere.

Oi, fuck off Jaffa!

Seriously though, Christchurch isn't the best place for a NRL team, Crusaders have 95% of the Market.....and the poor Queensland boys would freeze.

I'm from Hawkes Bay haha.

Does anyone have the money for it?

Thats basically why dolphins won the bid. Its a business end of the day

As someone who lives in Christchurch (The likely base of the second team), there's no way it would work. Fan base would be too small and the money just wouldn't flow as a result. Club would be a proper bottom feeder. Give it to the pacific islands imo, look how amazing that has been in Rugby Yawnion.

I feel ya. Kodi and now Hame. 20-21 are just stinking up the place

Are there many NRL players from the South Island? I seem to recall that Simon Mannering was pretty much the only South Islander of note in the comp when he was playing

Jamayne Isaako hails from the Garden City, South Island (Christchurch)

But it is very much Union, Union, Union down here in the South!

filthridden wrote:

and he was from Nelson I think? (top of the South island).

I think we've had a few. Lewis Brown from Chch. Tevaga and Isaako the only current players I can think of off the top of my head from Chch.

Reckon there are more from Wellington. Tana Umaga (former ABs captain) played league in high school before he switched.

Just catching up on the chat from last night, should have read all before posting haha!

Yep theres a couple from Welly - Hughes, Tapine, Rapana

Tokoroa has a couple too, which for a small town of 14,000 or so is pretty crazy - TMM, Tetevano, Isaac John and Quade Cooper also comes from there

I played league in New Zealand when I was a kid.  We played a team called something like Tikapunga Buffalos and East End Sharks and I'm pretty sure there was a pirate team but a different name to the one you said. In one of the teams we played they had a girl playing. She made the front page of the paper tackling my mate. Haha. After a match with another team all of the Kiwi boys were break dancing in the dressing rooms. It was very cool.\


Maybe, Cleveland Pirates??

12 points in updates. Happy with that.

Lemuelu becoming a slight problem? Maybe it’s time to get Bird now?

Regulator wrote:What percentage of the top 1000 have Hynes?

I imagine as people get Hynes in, we'll see a little bit of difference week to week.

rhinoceroo wrote:

Those will be last week's figures, not taking trades into account. Even ynot's won't account for pending trades, only locked in captain choices, so I suppose with 962 Cleary, 18 Haas and 8 Hynes there are another 12 spare who might be captaining a freshly bought Hynes. Either way, it's not very many.

(eg if I've traded Trindall to Hynes and captained him it'll still show up on the fantasy site as captain Trindall until the game)

I brought in Hynes this week, but the C is on Cleary.
Cleary's match-up against the Knights looks better, and if anything happens to Hynes last minute I'll be able to reverse trades without him being

late mail says he and smith will be replaced by garner and martin

Martin in for Smith is almost a certainty

I'd be very surprised if Garner replaces Hosking

slats86 wrote:Just so people know im not making it up - its direct from foxsports website

Late Mail: Liam Martin and Luke Garner both racing the clock to play after being named in the reserves, with Zac Hosking and Lindsay Smith to make way if they are deemed fit.

Not doubting your source just the accuracy of the rumour

What’s the bet at the cuts today Martin and Garner will be left as 18th and 19th not clearing anything up

Great story!

The Point Chev Pirates play in the Auckland RL.

Whangarei must have been a cool place to grow up
