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.

BE's are under a spoiler tag in the first post of the thread.

Gotta come up with their own content and lack of personality

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).  

Funnily enough been tossing up these exact same trades myself.

Turpin to VTW is locked for me.

Just uncertain on getting rid of Cogger...... decent enough chance Panthers don't rush the Chin back, Cogger starts against Dolphin and drops in a very good score + makes more cash?! Is saying Cleary back at round 21 on nrl casualty ward...

Guess it might depend on whether you need to play Cogger or not next week in the 17.

What's the chances that the Tigers bounce back after last week's shellacking.
Powerball central.
I'd love to see them come out firing, even though I'll be supporting the Sharks in this one.

Yeah it’s all interchangeable media trained speaking with nothing of value gained anyway

Pre-game: ‘had a good week of training’ ‘focus on playing [insert team name here]’s footy’ ‘gotta get of to good start early and complete our sets’ etc.

Mid-game: ‘it’s been a really physical game’ ‘gotta carry on with it in the second half’ etc.

Post-game: ‘we really came out and set the pace’ ‘everyone gave 110%’ ‘full credit to the boys’ etc.

Not keen on Averillo or Kris?

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

Yeah that's it basically mate. Only missing a CTR/WFB and the two you mentioned - their scoring histories just don't excite me.

Could go Kris/Avo instead of VTW as a better job security option but feels less fun.

Rudolf starting to look like BA Baracus.

I wonder if he pities the fool?

For me, points are more important than cash gen at this time of year. Happy to move Cogger on 200k later for a scorer this week and next. Cleary is a chance of a rd. 20 comeback I remember reading so happy to take the risk of losing out on an extra Cogger price rise.

I'll put my hand up and remind everyone that it was me talking everyone out of Katoa all week

TU: Ramien TA sticks
TD: No chance, Katoa had too much to do

I was short a MID so panic traded in McInnes 2 mins before lockout.. Assumes he plays 45-50mins for 40-45 points..

Commentators really talking up a guy after all he had to do was fall over the line.

Ahhhh Brandy is commenting as well so they can't talk up Hynes for his pass.

Which one? There's probably quite the smorgasbord of fools on show tonight

Great pass from the fresh prince

Excellent pass from Smith.

Omg Tommy!

That must double the points he's scored all year.

Who mentioned this potato and a few of us howled them down for suggesting him? I am sorry....

What is happening??
