    That also helped contribute to the Radley big minutes last season.

    (a) galvin - 230k - on a bye but basement price & could feature rd 2 or
    (b) faamausili - 300k - starting prop for doggies but will only play 35 mins at most but he is a busy player or
    (c) muhleisen - 250k - starting on bench but is a tackling machine 42 tackles in charity shield where he came off the bench but don't know how many mins he played. liddle currently has some issue but will start or
    (d) viliame fifita - 230k - starting on bench round 1 but there is l. leilua & sele who are out when they're fit he's probably out of the 17 unless m. molo is the fall guy

    thoughts & thanks.

    WL, you seem to have a thing for halves. If that's the case, go Galvin. Bye this week, but pretty good chance he'll end up in the Tigers starting 13 sooner rather than later.
    Use him for looping shenanigans until he's brought in. Saves you a trade later when we all pick him up as the shiny new cow.

    The fact that Robbo subbed Wong off at 25 minutes for Butcher to come on, and he will be looking to give Butcher as much time on the park as possible from the bench.

    Think of them as similar to Panthers when they had Kikau, Capewell and Martin all sharing minutes.

    Where capewell pretty much played 80 minuted every week while martin spent some time at mid and edg to accommodate Kikau?

    No, I mean 2021, where he averaged 65 minutes as starting EDG (the Sitili role) and only played 5 80 minute games all season.

    Capewell = Sitili
    Martin = Butcher
    Kikau = Wong

    One thing I noted from the game last night was that the ball was in the hands of the Knights 6 and 7 way more than I thought. I honestly thought Ponga would have his hands on it for most of the Knights plays but the halves were really dictating their major share of possession.

    There was a (rare) time when the Knights had two sets of 6 on the Raiders line and the ball didn't touch Pongas hands once.

    Anyone else with an opinion on Ponga last night.

    I avoided Ponga in both SC and DT for this very reason.

    Ponga came back to life when hastings wasn't in the team. Not a coincidence.

    Saw the same thing last night.

    Speaking of Phoenix Crossland, from this morning since I zoned out after that, I miss the weekly Paul Carter award with the fancy graphic and gold font. Who was it that used to run that?

    same i was surprised & lukeayee comment below was spot on...i own him not selling i'm sure when they do their video sessions & why they couldn't score tries they will realise we didn't give ponga enough ball in attack & then we will be competitive

    edit - it's above now

    I see Paul Carter was mentioned earlier this season. I didn't know about all the off-field stuff, so probably not fair to paint others with that brush just for having a shit fantasy game Laughing

    Bluetige was the man keeping track for the record.

    I think you've ordered them correctly.

    You could also consider Suluka-Fifita, who's presumably signed with the Dogs for some gametime.

    You could bet on Talau replacing Saab [edit, nope that won't work]

    Finefuaki could get more time - and seems a talent.

    Suluka Fifita is injured until mid season (not sure why Dogs were desperate to buy him given his only memorable performance is punching Arrow in the head)

    Number of touches from 7, 6, 1 in games played so far

    Fogarty 62, Strange 22, Rapana 40
    Hastings 54, Gamble 30, Ponga 39
    Reynolds 51, Mam 37, Walsh 43
    Walker 56, Keary 58, Teddy 30
    Ilias 47, Walker 32, Latrell 28
    DCE 71, Brooks 47, Turbo 48

    Not targeted at you, but I tend to find fantasy coaches focusing heavily on their own players and finding trends that don't exist (Centre X never passes the ball!!). Most teams tend to have a pretty similar ratio unless possession wildly swings one way

    Remember that time Jimmy Maloney took a brief break from picking up Paul Carter Awards & became fantasy relevant for a mid season run? It might even have happened twice, I think both times someone (Cleary?) was injured.

    Risky business but it still cleared the zipper, 0kitb

    Cook
    Cheese Salmon Tupouniua
    Piakura Wong
    Cleary Hynes
    Btrbo Strange
    Teddy Trbo Ponga

    Papy Rapana Kini Chan

    Levi Cotric Galvin SHughes

    Had Hutch at halfback with plans to use injuries/Kini/Rapana as rentals for the week
    Another sensible thing would be to downgrade to moses + 200k and turn perhaps Kini into May next week
    The potential is massive for this to go tits up but sometimes you have to bet on red a 10th time

    But will probably hold and roll with this for fun
