Tatola ain't doing anything mate, fantasy dud, chop him.  Sitili at least when fit and gets the minutes can put something on the board.

This is my plan, Tatola to May and someone to Turbo, not sure who the someone is yet though.

Turbo probably dead in 3 weeks but in the meantime he just looks dangerous.

i just sacrificed McInnes for Palasia so i could get a decent CtR so i do not have to play Strange/Cotric in the 17 on a regular basis. i am hoping that mcinnes shares minutes with finucane but I could certainly be wrong - and that would be bad for my team  

Whod ya grab

Im thinking i might cop the Penis.

It’s much more fun to support others and support yourself, than support yourself but deathride others (not taking a shot at you specifically dolphin, just the concept)

I take your point - i guess hoping was the wrong word - i don't think that he will get the minutes - i was hoping he would which is why i had him in my team - i am not confident enough that he will - which is why is was the first option for a downgrade out of the few options that were left  

i can remember first pitching the term life-ride and ironically had people in the forum death riding me for it

I actually took Sami for the DPP - he had a few games at CTR last year that reduced his scoring - it also let me upgrade Vifita to Salmon - I was also considering Brimson but he does not cover CTR

i think Sami is likely to be a big beneficiary of the new downtown rules - he loves a tackle break when he gets free space to cart the ball back and it should improve his run metres as well

I'm with you. Will be really strong through Origin period, when others competing for top spots are likely to struggle a bit. Should be the difference.

Every year I hear about Warriors through Origin period, hardly ever eventuates.

Nah you’re all dead to me and the only players allowed to score well are in my 17

Probably should have had some knights players..

ah nice, i dont mind sami and did consider him, but then i realised i didnt need two wfb's on a round 2 bye lol

Who scores more points

Salmon - perhaps 40 minutes +/- 10 at LOCK - TU
Russell - 80 minutes carting the ball back on the WING - TD

True dat.
But, before it clicks, the Knights will suffer from a few games like the one we saw last night.
I'll be jumping on Ponga once he's dropped some cash.

Cotter has an average base of around 5 less at Lock to Prop when playing over 50 minutes.

I`m not sure if I`m looking into this too deeply but 5 points is probably the difference between me getting Cotter and not.

Does anyone know of any correlation between lock vs prop and base statistics?

I'm 100% the same plan as you mate

This too - especially for a player that irks you that is not on your team

Personally, I love to watch Reece Walsh even when he is not on my team and i would never wish for a bad score from him even if it meant losing my h2H

On the other side - I think Cleary personally is worth death riding, but I would not think of it because he is my captain

horses for courses - sometimes other peoples fantasy teams doesn't even come into it

I was just looking at the bench makeup. Doesn't seem too bad for Cotter's minutes if the bench stays how it is.

You make a good point, looking now he actually averages 43 at lock and 30 at prop both with a try each. Hmm.......but he's played 60 minutes average at prop and 53 minutes at lock.....ahh.....

It`s a tough one I can see him averaging all the way from 43-53. Probably only want him if it`s 50+

When cotter was playing 'prop' wasnt he really just lock but lolo wanted to wear the 13 jersey or some shit.

I dont feel like his game was any different regardless of where named.

All the cows were down last year tho.. cotter.. robson.. lolo.. not sure what to make of it. Im not super confident in the cows being a good team again either.. seem like theyre slipping atm

Tbh fog scored well but have question marks on how well raiders will play for the year and he got a couple of try assists that won't come every game I watching live I thought he would have scored better.

Cheers for that, I didn`t know that was the case.

Makes me more confident in using his stats as a whole.

(a) younger posters who are sensitive & watchful with the language they use &
(b) older posters who are set in their ways & don't care who they offend & they tell it like they see it

for example say a woman with a weight problem asks you "do i look fat in this dress"
group (a) will lie to her to make her feel better & say "no you look great"
group (b) will tell her the truth & say "yes"

WL, I think you nailed this one.

As a Gen X bloke, I'm not about to crack it and throw a tantrum if someone writes something (or IRL) says something that rubs me the wrong way. I was brought up to believe that if something pushes your buttons, either say something, sort it out and move on or recognise that it probably has more to do with your own stuff than the other person's views.

That said, I also recognise that as a white Australian male, I've never suffered real harassment or mistreatment in my life. I've been called all sorts of things, but none of them were racist nor sexist, so I don't have the right to tell someone else that their feelings aren't important is they feel offended about something.

Back to the footy.
Hudson Young.
How many weeks do we think he should get for the late, high shot on Ponga?
I'd like to see that young-thug sidelined for 2 weeks.

Was saying the other day that 2022 when they made prelim was an outlier. They all had career years and last year likely the norm for the Cows

Just my early take
