No, never (well once… for most of 2020)

But does it mean nobody in the top 1000 has only had 5 play? Or just the graphs has a max 10 points  on the axis?

Ahhh good question. I originally thought that maybe they couldn’t fit 5 in

He is just a quicker, older Jayden Campbell. Don't rate him at all and think Knights would be much better with Ponga 1 Gamble 6

Totally agree mate, my thinking as well.

After viewing the source info it looks like the minimum players in the top 1000 is at 6

Who is the better shitto to bring in, Niko or Bula? Leaning Niko for job security.

I'm getting Fifita. Fuck it.

10(c) / 481, feels dirty & bog average, but according to yafss it's pretty much bang on average.
Yep. Bludgers are and always will be a bog-average team.

Reckon Niko stays when Milford is fit? 

Dolphins havnt been great but maybe that’s more the loss of Osullivan

Yeah, Milford is pretty much done in the NRL I reckon mate.

Surely you have to go Niko then. At least you know he sticks around

If they’re winning games I don’t know why they would change the formula

Surely, Tigers will get one thing right this year. Surely??!!

Not a terrible effort

In b4 down marked loads

I think Miller has been good for the Knights but I dont think the Ponga at 6, Miller at 1 combines very well. Maybe it will get better over time.

I have Nikorima and I just don't know if I can recommend anyone getting him. He has basically gotten poor scores in every game so far, only got slightly above 30 with a try and has shown no indication he can do better than that.

Even after a good start in the last game he went on to get basically zero points in new 60 minutes. Look elsewhere.

Those looking at Granville

Why did the Cowboys play with 15 men against Knights?
Payten's decision to leave back-rower Mitch Dunn and young fullback Tom Chester on the bench for the full 80 minutes could have come back to bite the Cowboys coach, but there was a method to the madness.

Speaking to the media after the game, the coach explained that injury issues for both Jordan McLean and Jeremiah Nanai factored into the decision to play with just 15 men against a tough Newcastle side.

“On medical advice with Jordan coming back from a hamstring injury, we wanted shorter stints from him so we devised a plan to use him in four 15-minute stints at the start and end in each half," Payten said.

"Miah’s injury late in the first half threw a cat among the pigeons...when he was ready to come back on, that took Tommy Chester’s late interchange away.

"With about eight minutes to go we had an opportunity to put Dunny on, but we just felt we needed our most experienced and best players out on the pitch.

"It never sits well with me, but those two blokes understood and understand it’s about the team."

Holmes is humming for centre... escaping origin and bye period ?

Yeah pretty much. Got sick of the average scores when he doesn't get a try. I realise that's what I was getting myself into by starting with him but I guess I expected more from the Cowboys and therefore him. Hopefully Bird has a good one then it won't be as lame

Granville playing more mins than Tapine is hilarious

Following a number of unsatisfactory performances from Turbo, I have removed him from my starting 13 to 14-17. Hopefully he responds in kind from the demotion.

Kevin Walters has said on Sunday Footy Show that early guilty pleas will be taken for both Haas and Mam so just 1 week for Haas means likely hold

I have had a lot of underwhelming scorers so far and gone from 800 to 700 odd, must be some terrible scores out there. I feel my team is going bang average.

I just got home from a party what was the big talking points out of tonight’s two games?

Any action mate?

408/8c from app.

Happy Phoenix got a couple of extra points in the update. 35 was about bare minimum so 38 is acceptable and probably better long term than Granville.

I think Lachie Miller is still learning. Too many sideways slapsie runs that have no direction, not looking to put someone through a hole, just going sideways to not get tackled and not really thinking from a team perspective. Very sevens-looking style that he needs to unlearn. Defensive positioning still a bit suspect too. I think he'll continue to improve. He's definitely not the worst first grade fullback. Errors seem to come from trying too hard if anything.
