Congratulations on the score Rabs. Is your team name still Hallies Superstars?

The team coming 330th isn't Hallies Superstars or The Gumbies? OK found it 336.
With so many good coaches being miles behind already that sort of rank is going to have you right in the mix for overall glory

Klemmer might be on a different page because he was charged on Friday - the other list is those charged on Monday

If the NRL was a person it'd spend it's day licking windows

Yeah Rabs has a track record of starting strong, unlike jstands he doesnt drop off when the going gets tough.

DCE out - C. Walker in
Macca out - Mbye in (via J-Nik)

Leaves me with 706k itb.

I would have thought those guys at least would be season keepers. So their BE is irrelevant. If you never trade them out you don't lose money.
If you think they can get their scoring back up yto what you bought them for then just ride out the lows and take the high scores when they come.

Merrin might be the one to trade out from that look because it looks like panthers bench management isn't ideal (for fantasy or real life purposes)

DCE I'm confident will bounce back once Manly get their act together.

There aren't normally so many good coaches firing blanks at the start of the season though. Quite a few who would normally be very close at this point in the season are going to have all sorts of trouble catching up and plenty of those up in the rankings will be rubbish teams who will drop off throughout the year. I'd love to be in Rabbits or Even Steedens position this year.

Mau & Roberts taken early plea

So roberts is gone for a week? James roberts?

I dont remember seeing him doing anything in the game report worthy.

He felt up the ref.

Looking at that MRP report YN posted, 7 years incident free for discount seems like a long time to have to play to get a discount.

Lets say your Lillyman-type player runs out for 20 matches a year and plays 55min in each game. Thats 7700 minutes played without an incident. Roughly 3500 tackles made. Jesus.

He touched a referee.

Roberts doesn't miss a week

Don't really know why you have Woods and Merrin on notice. Make your money with cash cows and conserve trades by not trading out guns unless injured. People will make up points big-time if you have trades to burn over origin.
Woods has been involved in two very high scoring games e.g. 34-26 and 36-22. He will score well in more arm wrestle games given his minutes are high and he tackles a lot.

With Merrin, he had a head knock in last game which I imagine meant he didn't get involved as much as normal. Better than a 14 from Tolman or a -1 from Fensom though I guess. Burn those trades if you so wish.

Same goes for DCE, pretty confident Norman won't get 550 kick metres every game.

Plus merrin had a short turn around after playing in 30 deg heat

Pay for Fantasy coach or wait for Milchy to post them later.

I am keeping DCE..... Still averaging 42 per game, manly will bounce back meaning DCE will too.
Only loses money if you trade and has a fantasy pedigree to prove it as well.

Same with Merrin and Woods, both are remaining in my team.
Potential is there for bigger scores so their ceiling is high and proven that over previous seasons.
By swapping to a new flavour of the week who is performing at their ceiling, what happens when they have some bad games...
At least the above players 'bad games' are still ok scores..

Will bring in the Graham's/Tapaus around them instead but 2 games is a small sample size and their has been a tonne of injuries so far this year. Still want them in my team but might have to wait..

Ideally you don't want to sell a gun that's lost money for a side wards trade who is top dollar..
Basically a reverse cash cow

Disclaimer: cooper would be a sell for me if I had him

But what do I know, I am like 22k so perhaps I'm doing it wrong haha...

Edit: +1 to above as they mention similar thoughts, I just type too slow

Did he touch his genitals or something?

Maybe it's one of his third party agreements?
