There's a reason he didn't play there at the Panthers. If he couldn't kick the ball so high he wouldn't get half the hype he does.

I won't have troubles bringing in the big guns on the way home either unless I get hit by massive injuries. Have zero in the bank but my 18-21 is bula Garrick Boyd and simpkin so plenty of cash to downgrade and upgrade. I do need Haas cleary grant and fifita tho. So probably get rid of matterson. And hopgood due to byes

Seven tries in nine games at five-eighth at the Panthers.

He's certainly not a controlling halfback but I think he's a good running five-eighth.
Overrated? Sure. Bad five-eighth? No. Bulldogs are shit? Yes.

So you're saying Booze is the same amount better than me than I am better than you?

I am just luckier than you I guess. Maybe you need to rub a rabbits foot at the sydney meetup?
Cheaper than a taylor swift concert too

Elite centre who happens to have a monster boot. I don't think you can win a comp with him at 6

Fair enough, but wont the people in front of you all be bring in those players too
Even cash (I have 188k itb) can be overrated when you can trade a gutho type player sideways into grant.

Anyways would imagine most teams will have a core of similar players with probably depth being the difference depending on your team value
I can't say I have been paying attention much but I have noticed in here mentioned its hard to make ground up in the top 1000?
If anything a late charge will be from those with a heap of trades or luck?

Anyways good luck with your season, 1000pts seems huge when you put it like that but anything can happen from here

I think those struggling to make ground on the top 1,000 have missed getting on some of the key players early enough, like JDB, Horse, Turpin, Drinkwater, Hopgood. If you caught them all early you have made ground every week.

I am also not dealing with any of the key issues at the moment, that most have a couple of in their teams - some combination of Lemon, Bird, Walsh, Butcher, Oloapu - I only have 2 Eels this week, and don't have the cheap guys that will soon need trading out like Sandon and Simpkin that will be hard to find good replacements for at their price point, while trying to also trade up to Cleary, Fifita, Haas etc. Lots of trades being burned the next few weeks for most teams, which will be a great leveller.

Im gonna do my best nrl player impersonation. I’ll start by having 20 beers and calling you all cunts and finish off by groping some lucky bloke.

In summary by reading between the lines, watch your back Booze.

I’m in Tasmania so it’s a bit of a trek mate; not a lot of competition for the state #1 though

Nah, don't think Booze is finishing in 101st, with me in 100th.

Well if I am ever down that way will pop in for a shandy and give a moist salmon fin a rub if I get lucky too

Krump needs to watch his back.

Is 6 trades left enough to take punt on Blore?

Think you should just pencil in a few trades and see how things pan out
With 8 trades in 9 weeks there is not a huge amount you can do now with your hand already played
I am sure the fantasy gods will be on your side as long as you stop mentioning players when they are scoring well mid game
I blame you for not having a Hynes banner and having to still look at Munsters face

I haven't even thought too much about next week let alone rd 20, but more trades does sound rather nice then

Yes

Well it’d be pointless looking for you in front of me

Payten says all origin players will play.
