It does actually affect people differently this week. If SJ was out I have no one else to put in without trading, whereas some have someone like Hands who would have subbed in, so it's important for me that SJ plays so I can use my two trades on other positions.

Likewise. If Johnson was out I'd likely spend a trade bringing Tanah Boyd in.

He’s averaging 15 over the next best available player and is against Tigers who just conceded 74

What could possibly prompt you to not captain Hynes unless you screw up rollback of your team

Congrats young Bula you get the VC this week

Blore with the VC. You best go nuts when you come on

Yes and yes

Yep. Ni(c)ho, vc Bula.

What are people doing with Bula and Lemuele?
Anyone know their BE's?
I'm a H2H player so don't care about numbers for this week, but both look like they will drop cash so I'm tempted to trade then out for VTW and/or Munroe.

Make sure to do your tips as well, lock on Sharkies!

I don't get fantasy

Might be in that crowd only have 10 this week and out of trades after using 1

Only Bula at WFB and short at MID (Bird the turd to Russell)

Bateman a good buy still?

Anyone bringing in Huddy Young as a POD option?

Also sitting at 10 green dots albeit before trades. Have 5 trades in hand though so I think it could be worth using 2.

Likely Turpin > Te Whare, Cogger > Penisini/Simonsson (I'll run with whoever of these I get for rest of year).

Ultimate POD play

Not keen on Averillo or Kris?

And why not use 3 this week to round out. Or not enough guys you're interested in?

Down week last week, you're buying pretty much at his max price but I'd say yes.

Obviously if Tigers get pumped there could be changes

Really don't think I'll miss player interviews. It tickles me to watch the media get so ticked off about it though.

I understand the way Johnson playing or not could impact potential trades, but as someone who doesn't get Fantasy, having no trades means I play whomever I've got.
The irony of course is that over the past 5 or so rounds, Ive tried to pick up ranks by choosing a couple of podish players, and...that worked out really well.

Dunno how that happened. Sorry for double post.
