First thing I did after lockout lifted was put the captaincy straight onto SJ

I am still planning on C Turbo with VC JDB in the first game.

How many trades ye got?

This feels like one of those bad luck weeks

Was an NRL Shop voucher last year but that may have changed this year. Will be on the prizes page somewhere but given my current ranking I won’t waste my time looking

8 left heading into this week so I'll try to get a full 17 on the park

CTR becoming a gamble all around - Bird's knee vs Lemu benching vs Manu at CTR the heavily owned options that have scored well so far this season.

Manu is still a gun at centre, just not an ubergun. No worries about him. Lemu is a bit of a headache. Bird can wait a little. Many also have Penisini or Simo.

App says $250 NRL shop voucher. If I win the Broncos comp I’m buying $250 worth of Dolphins merch

Lemuelu is quite annoying but at least he plays early so can just wait to see final team lists before deciding what to do. 

Ideal world he starts and he can take Loieros place at EDG so I can trade Loiero to Grant

This was what a friend did for me back in 2021 and put together a cool little time lapse video a couple days ago. Took me a while to changing it here haha

Might just have to use the bank to do Oloapu to Horse this week and then hope a good cashout pops up in the next couple of weeks. 

Aaand then Horse will get the call up for origin 3.

Not sure what has passed through the great minds on here for the past 20 odd pages. End of Term means marking, reports, add in an inter-school debating comp tomorrow and a Year 12 meeting to speak at tomorrow ... and, I've got 5/8 of a minute for Fantasy stuff.

Just wanted to say: this TLT sucks. Running 13, too many nuthin players and now people getting benched, 18th man etc. have no idea how to fix my Bludgers this round.

More importantly. Just read that the great Rein Train has finally chuffed off into the sunset.
Farewell Mitch. Thanks for the memories. We will miss you.

some people are just remarkably talented

that was awesome

Thoughts on Garlick vs Sandon Smith for cashout?

Sandon Smith seems like he'll score more in the short term and make some money, but Walker will eventually push him out, and I'm not sure I have enough trades to bring him in and back out again.

Garlick isn't a great scorer but is a handcuff for Grant (don't own him yet but he's top of the list for R20) and he is likely to stay in the 17 all year, meaning I can use him for cover this week and then just stick him at 21 for the end. That HOK/MID dual is also really handy, as most cashouts are backs and I would need a spare MID at some point.

A permanent red dot seems more useful than Garlick

Why's that? This isn't Supercoach with AE nightmares, and he's a cashout who is in the top choice 17 every week acting as a handcuff for a gun (Grant).

He's good for 20ish points a week as an emergency option or potentially more if anything were to happen to Grant, and realistically nobody's going to have a team of 21 guns.

Too risky to captain Haas this week backing up from Origin?

Garlick didn't play 80 last week, so even if Grant's rested/injured, Wishart probably takes minutes too. I'm glad I struck him off last week and tossed up between Hands or Turpin.. and landed on Hands.

Wow! What a fantastic shit show of a TLT that was! For the past several weeks, whether right or wrong, it’s been trade in this player, don’t look back and hope for the best. Might have to do a minute or two of somewhat careful thinking before I make a decision. Sandon is out for me as I already own Ted, Turpin, Nutcher, and Manu. I could look at Cartwright as a cash out option. Not sure I like my chances of Basil and Stimson swapping on game day. In conclusion, this is bound to be a revert back to the old style of reading way too much into the sitch and regretting the result. Thanks for reading.

I am thinking

Oloapu ==> Brimson
Luki ==> Bird
