Matterson will be back next week taking more minutes at MID. I would avoid

It’s always hard when you have a split of players in the same game.

Want the roosters to run riot but also SJ to kick the ball a lot and maybe a try or a try assist and Ford doesn’t miss double digit tackles again

Lemeulu and Horse are the most annoying ones for me 

Had Horse traded in and reversed (which wasn’t a disaster because Nikorima scored 43). Never picked Lemeulu up because I had Bird and Alamoti when he got starting spot, and now have Bird and Manu so I thought I could hold off until after R11 bye

He has great bye schedule and will obviously now skyrocket in price in R10, but seems silly to buy before R11 bye

I'm a smidge over 500 for 9 as well. I think a few of us that were going well have had a rough week (missed the Hynes, Horsburghs, Hopgoods and Lemuelus of the round).

I made my error with Mattersons withdrawal, considered jumping to Tapine (which was weird as most of my week was deciding between JDB & Horse), yet somehow Horse fell off my radar and ended up sticking to Lane over Hopgood.

Still, we don't buy for a week, so hopefully our collective decisions pan out over the weeks ahead

Big day for fantasy folk! Guys best to not lament that you're behind the big scores, but appreciate if you're at or ahead of the average. If you focus on that you're able to celebrate our brothers on here who are killing it!

I don’t really like posting my score till the end of the round. The fantasy gods frown on that sort of self indulgence

No JWH is a big out for Roosters, if he was playing I'd say 100% we lose, now I'd say 50/50

Good point thank you. Might go Horse over Hopgood for this reason too

633/11c

But, where others might have the likes of teddy, jsb, bird, Johnson to come,

I have the mess of couchman, ford and alamoti.

I swear I heard Ricky say in an interview about 3/4 weeks ago sayin the game plan was always for horse to be playing high minutes. The first few weeks were to ease him in due with proper match fitness after what was his first proper full preseason.

I don’t think there is much chance of him dropping minutes to what he getting now

Pre-season the plan was for Matt Doorey to play high minutes

A couple of years ago Junior Paulo was going to increase his minutes too

I'm sure there's plenty of other examples, its a bit like training the house down, its just something coaches say in pre-season fluff articles

Hopefully he's packed his long studs

Think it was after broncos game. Where horse played 70, after only playing 30 for the rounds before. Having now played a 70 for the two games after, with no obvious raider injury minus tapine out for broncos, I’d hardly consider this a pre season fluff article.

I’m sure there are plenty of examples where the coaches position matches the outcome as well, we just don’t hang in to them because we aren’t sooking about fantasy outcomes.

Doorey minutes with the para pack should never have been considered concrete, way too much going on and Doorey hardly a player with enough experience to know what you’re going to get.

I'd play Granny as I reckon Couch gets 20mins max

Yeah it's not pretty but might just take Granville's score in what's been a week with many outs.

The couch seems to love a missed tackle too.

Everything is obvious in hindsight

But in his 4 previous seasons in first grade Horsbrough has never played more than 60 minutes in the middle. Even now he's just got his best ever fantasy score, on the back of doubling his career try assist tally and tripling the number of offloads he's made this year. Whilst he's no doubt going to get good scores for as long as he is starting lock, yesterday was at the higher end of them
Ricky Stuart is also probably 2nd only to Robinson in his willingness to rotate his forwards around. Get a few losses and anything could change. 2 weeks ago how many people would genuinely expect Horse to be playing more minutes than Tapine

Must be exhausting trying to disprove everyone’s opinions.

It’s not like this is a break out year, before this round his value for this season has actually dropped.

I think it was two seasons ago Horse was being set up for this role (maybe 3), he was out there in the big minute role and killing it fantasy wise as well. He then had that really bad wrist injury from memory? It’s after that he went to shit (both on and off the field).
It’s taken till now to get himself right (physically and mentally) and I think that’s why the coach has said what he said. Horse was intended for this role.
Doorey had this said about him too, but he played shit, I think that’s the most important part of the discussion……
You can have something paved out for you but if you’re shit you’ll be ditched for someone else.
Case and point Horse vs Doorey.

Warriors injury report
Tohu 1-2 weeks with re-aggrevated MCL injury
Tevaga 6+ weeks high grade calf tear

I also try to be vague until rounds end because you inevitably end up with a 2nd minute HIA (eg final game last week)
