Bovines have been shown to elucidate pseudo-human traits between the herd in studies. The Bell Cow is an example...

How are we all doing so bad. Apart from Fishes(?) who's tearing it up in the top 200.

Do people actually say that?

If you listen to Renegades, Rengades are the best.

If you listen to Butters, Butters is the best.

If you listen to ex-Sportal, we suck and demand explanations!

No they don't. Explained this on Renegades a couple of weeks ago when someone was saying we (although not sure if it was us, or the FB Fanatics page) were apparently trying to "recruit" posters from FB pages. Explained that we are a small group of one or two hundred dedicated posters and that we would be actually happy to keep it at that size, and that no-one had been asked to recruit as we don't need to.

Im gonna be honest. My OCD dictates that my team must be sorted in order of price from left to right for starting 13 and top to bottom of the bench.

Yep.

The thing that puts me off about Mbye is that he is up and down with his km severely

R1: 318 (15)
R2: 80 (4)
R3: 479 (23)
R4: 52 (2)

Luckily in the two games he has low kicking games he has had massive attacking stats. But there is bound to be a few games where he has no attacking stats and low kick metres

I thought I was the only one!

RTS looks prime, warriors gelled for the first time so promising things to come. I am hesitant on trading DCE for him because I don't think DCE will play origin, but his run with injuries last year and now this year scare me for his security.

Renegades are a bag of dildos and Butters is a little weird for me.

Fanatics/Sportal has sexual tension and flame wars. This is why it is best.

Yea this is true

But the massive KM is why I would select him over Milf, at least when he has games where he has poor attacking game, it can sometimes be offset with great base stats and the added bonus of goalkicking to bump up his poor attacking days

Milf hovers around the 100 km a game which just isn't enough for me, so when he has a poor attacking game he can score really low

I am selling DCE for Dugan and running with NO GUN HALVES. I am not sold on any of the high priced halves at the moment. Luckily I have two cows (hastings and walker) who are both averaging 45 and rising in price rapidly for at least a few more games yet. They can score 40s and I would not be disappointed like I am when DCE does. Happy to sit on it and see what the high end halves do over the next few weeks whilst the gap in price range closes.

Me three.

I'm actually hesitant to bring in BHunt this year because of how much more they are going through Milf. I think it'll indirectly affect his scores

Mind you every player has an off score or two. Over the season it'll offset himself. I don't think i'll be bringing in either Mbye or Milford (certainly not at this stage) im saving for Arey and maybe Thurston after origin when he normally comes right.

What happened to Cronk? When I started he was a guaranteed 50 point player. I don't know whats changed in his game as he seems the same but its certainly affecting his fantasy scores

Not sure if you meant the innuendo, but I for one would like to say nice work.

Haha I was aiming for a pun but couldnt word it without seeming to obvious

I can cover DCE this week, so holding off on DCE to SJ or RTS for 1 more week.

I may have steered clear of Aubusson, but I made a blunder almost as bad in Lewis Brown. The player's versatility is what kills them, and that isn't going to change. CLaw could go the same, but thankfully I have HHunt and J Roberts to cover. Could be awhile before the next Sia Soliola.

For that reason I made another trade reversal and sent Lewis Brown packing for Bowen via Ferguson. Welcome back for another week Ferg.

Locking this shite in:

(C)am, Parcell
JTrb, BLaw
Harris, K Bromwich, Rochow, Ma'u, Cartwright
Milford, Taylor, Hastings
J Roberts, CLaw
Gordon, Hunt, Barba

Luckily I have a few options for Cartwright if he's pulled late. Ferg, Gutherson, Campbell-Gillard and Niko all playing Sunday also.

Do something constructive with the cash and you won't regret it

inevitably they will both score poorly a few times when the attacking game just doesn't click

its tough to decide if its a purple patch for both or can we expect more of the same going forward

second year in the halves for Milf, has looked outstanding and did at the back end of 2015 to be fair, was a new full time position last year so all might have fallen into place

first year as a full time half for Mbye, goalkicking with an ever improving attacking game and decent base stats, could he carry his gun fantasy scores throughout the season?

I was thinking about holding off on an immediate DCE trade too. But then I realised whether I do it this week or next, it doesn't really matter. DCE to M'bye was too tempting, whereas Carter/Cartwright/LAM to Whitehead/Ma'u or someone else can probably wait another week at least.
