Yeah on averages I'll hit 814, but most of my players have been scoring below their average.
Tapine, Carty, Preston, Bird, Alamoti and Couchman should get me over the 800
A Tapine season high would be most welcome, also hoping the Couch gets some good minutes

This might be conspiracy thinking but I am beginning the think this YAFSS thing is like the Mona Lisa. From your perspective, she is always smiling at you while gazing in your direction - but in reality - you are being buttered up - blissfully unaware that your score is not really very good

Hi all, been way too busy at work this year to follow the threads, watch all the games and play properly. Reflected in my scores and ranks.

Seems like a low scoring round. Either that or Im even worse than normal.

Dilemma of the week is whether to take Warbrick's 30 odd or punt on Couchman or punt on Sloan. Thoughts?

Couchman's probably the low risk option, likely to get 30 points in base stats alone. Should get at least 40 mins this week with Molo out.


Saying that, I have no idea why I started S.Luke over him. Couchman's floor looks to be 30-35 points until Molo returns.

It's 38,take it and run. Would be a top end score for the other 2

@Bazoots I will bank Warbrick's 38 over those 2.

True, Warbrick is indeed 38.
As others have said, take it and run.

BMM playing NSWcup this arvo

Yes, none are gunning it and all play origin.

If Couchman gets BMMs starting role imma be really pissed at myself for putting Sele in over him

Couchman plays middle so Bird to edge and JDB to lock? Can't remember how they lined up on TLT

Maybe bird second row with JBD starting lock? Michael Molo was also pulled from the cup team

Great minds

Just noticed Horse played 71 minutes at lock last week. Will be watching him closely as a potential buy after their bye.

Didnt even realise it was a 38. Only been looking on the app and it still says 31 hence the debate but yeah 38 makes it an easy decision.

Now that brings up a second option. Gamble on Sloan or Couchman? Couch seems more reliable but Sloan has the ceiling

Cheers everyone!

Looks like he’s going to be fantastic furniture

Bit miffed I spent up for BSmith now but the risk was Couchman was in my 17

The less you look at the app the better your fantasy experience is

Probably more likely. I guess in that case bird splits time between lock and edge again so no real change?

Truth!

I currently have Katoa's 40 at 18th man to be looped in, but wondering if I should take a punt on trading in Couchman. Was probably going to get him next week anyway, but would be paying more.
