    Just realised that last ridiculous Gif based post was my 5,000th, seems apt cheer

    At my current posting rate it's going to be a genuine race between standard retirement age and fanatics immortality (imagine what this message board is going to look like vs the alternative in 15-20 years)

    Just on the non guitar themed edge chat, I've taken the path of holding Ford through this next couple of rounds with a plan to upgrade him to someone decent prior to 16. Already have Ipap so it'll be someone like Nikora
    Yep ditto with Ford. Looking towards iPap/Bateman (probably iPap for the legacy average).

    This post number is 80² which is very pleasing

    Other than Hopgood, none of the best edges are playing this week.
    If you had someone like Ford he'd be fine to play, but not sure if its worth trading him in

    For edges there are lots of good ones that play 16+19 (Nikora, iPap, Bateman are my picks) so i think better off just waiting a week for them
    Koala is expected to play.

    I think it's worth reminding people to not sacrifice the balance of your team by trading in R13 players. For instance, with edges of Luki (gotta go in 1-2 rounds) and Hopgood (bye R14) if I went Haas to Moses this round to bypass KNiko's 32, I wouldn't be able to bring in the two edges I'm going to need ASAP rocky. Food for thought for those frantically trying to get a good scoring 13.

    Yep, keen as, but less related to ownership and more because final team players are hard to find at a discount that play this round at EDG.

    my tv broke wrote:I'm coming around to trading Alamoti to an edge (or a WFB..lol). Can spend around 570k

    I think Ford annoys me given his bye in round 16. I'll probably end up wanting to flick him for the second bye to get some rnd 16 numbers up...

    Carty is slightly cheaper and plays both this round and round 16, but its very questionable as to whether he'll still be starting...

    Luki.. exists.. lol. But I doubt he starts next week and beyond with Nanai back.

    Bullemor would be a left field gamble. Puts up good numbers if he gets the mins, but probably just doesn't get enough to be worth grabbing. Might end up playing edge any time in the next couple of weeks..

    Alternatively I wait til next week and get IPAP (would have to downgrade Niko to someone 130k plus cheaper than him)

    Any thoughts folks?

    Agree with other posts, surely its better to hold a week and grab IPap next week. None of the others seem worth burning two trades for 29 points this week (I take no responsibliity when Luki/Ford score 63).

    We exist and are very disappointed in the fine handed down to JDB instead of a suspension that would have briefly maintained our will to live. Needless to say Karen is writing a formal complaint as we speak

    Problem is that they have to wait until 8:30 to show gambling ads so you won't get a kickoff any earlier.

    Gambling ads should just be illegal already like ciggy ads are.

    Gambling ads made me quit gambling, so there was an upside, personally.

    But yes, fuck them off.

    In ye olde days of 1 Friday game it never kicked off earlier than 7:30pm
    (and in pre-foxtel days, it wasn't live on TV, but kicked off live 7:30 with 8:30 on TV)

    In the glory days of super league games didn't start on TV until 9:30pm


    And when there is an early game people complain about the 6pm game as being crap for fans

    So basically people just like to whinge

    Are you guys all that devoid of other activities you can't entertain yourself on a weekend without football?

    no 6pm game is great for me, means can watch Taskmaster stress free without having to follow the NRL via the phone

    I'd like a second edge and have been pondering what way to go as well.
    Even so far as to look at Haumole and Keaon - although neither full me with confidence for their price - Keaon is hope that he is fully 80 min fit, Haumole seems to require he goes on a try scoring run and doesn't end up in Origin.

    Of the above, I keep coming back to Carty.
    He's started in 9 of 12 possible games; 3/6 when Lane was available,  all 6 when Lane had been out.
    Lane isn't sure back till R20, so hopefully a good enough run, and looks about a 48 average as an 80 min edge.
    He also strikes me as someone that can have a fortunate game resulting in an 80 pointer... not to expect it, but if you get lucky...

    Demerits are notably better than Fords, which doesn't reflect great on Ford as a fantasy player.
    Bullemor seems like a guy who can be very busy, build great base stats, but misses all the over valued attacking stats (e.g OLs, crabbing etc).

    My alternative is an extra WFB, but Carty is $100k more for a similar likely average, but seems considerably less risk

    I'm see-sawing back towards Carty, although that bye next week could hurt depending on origin players.

    Investigating the Niko+Alamoti -> IPAP+shitto route.. there's no one under 320k at the moment worth grabbing. Don't really want another dead spot right now with Burbo already sitting there..
