Convince me I'm stupider then anyone else here thinks.

If he makes Origin he misses 
13 - bye
14 - probably out with 2 day turnaround from Origin
16 - Origin
17 - bye
19 - Origin 
20 - probably out with 2 day turnaround from Origin

Simpkin is heavily on my radar below 300k for this reason post R13

If both get reduced minutes over origin does Haas outscore Grant?

For me this stood out pretty starkly on Tuesday....Dragons look much better/faster with Liddle at Dummy half. Maybe he can't play bigger minutes??

His team isn’t very good ‘Hynes Bean Flickers’ so take that with a pinch of salt

Don't tell me that... I only just finalized my team

Harris ==> Lane
Cartwright ==> Smith
EKatoa ==> Frizell

Leaves me with

BSmith
Hopgood Pangai Junior Utoikamanu
Frizell Lane
Cleary Boyd
Bird Manu (C)
Tabuai-Fidow Mitchell Walsh

Preston Ford Crossland Suaalii
Nikorima Bula Ese'ese Dunster

not sure who out of 17 18 or 19 to pick

As someone who picked up Frizell at 631k I think you’ve missed the boat now, given the 2 byes are even closer

Liddle has already played 7 consecutive games for the Dragons. That is the 2nd longest streak of his career

Thanks mate I am 75th for April

Good effort Rabs! Hoping for a strong final week of April

Might try and work out how to get Jimmy Butler in my team

Dunno the prize but Green Schists got 3rd in March, and for April it's Easy Tiger in 1st, Revs is 9th, some guy we used to know is 11th, Rhinoooo 12th, Bethany 20th. At least 5 others in the top 50. Dunno if the forum has been running this good since maybe 2019-20???

Back in the #TeamZora & #TeamVerbal days

Haas probs out scores Grant in lesser mins Haas can get a 55 in 45mins.

Haas probs a more reliable VC option than Grant too.

Wighton to play Lock? Interesting I was wondering where they were going to fit him in. Cam to the second row or the roosters I guess

I miss Zora

E.Katoa + Murray + Grant OUT

Hynes + Cheese + JDB IN

Apart from Hynes and Cheese not helping much for Rd 13, I'm really not seeing much reason why I shouldn't pull the trigger.

With the Cleary rumours and your current position on the ladder, bringing Hynes in might be the best move.
You do have Fifita who could carry the captaincy this round... or Manu?

It was probably more that Mbye was not the answer for the minutes Liddle didn't play (It seems negligent to not have a back up HKR who actually plays in that position...but maybe they do?)

I'm reluctant to put the boot into Mbye because he's a solid fill in for a number of other positions but I'm not overly convinced he's a 1st grade dummy half

Granville is juicy, I don't think I can control myself if, as expected, 1hr out from kickoff tonight he is starting at lock.

I keep waiting for Hynes to get cheaper.. it just doesn’t seem likely

Same… if he starts it’s going to be a long hour with an itchy trade finger

I'm tipping NAS to be in top 3 averaging props this year. wish his bye schedule was kinder. by the time the first round of origin is finished and he becomes a viable option his price will be crazy.

That's the main reason for even considering it. Forecast for Sat/Sunday looks pretty bleak in Sydney, so want to get some of that fair weather running footy from Hynes on a Thursday night.
It's not like a Thursday night captain has ever backfired on anyone before.

If you think he’s going to score that well there’s an argument to be made for getting him in. The smaller post origin bye rds are still going to be tricky to navigate and he plays them.
