Must be some good banter over the weekends giving winding each other up!

Next year we'll rack them up in a league and let them go at it.

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

Ponga is easily the best playmaker on that team. Some of those teams have elite halves.

And quality of touches matter. He's the best weapon they have, and yet repeatedly they had entire sets in the opposition 20 where he didn't get a touch the whole set.

Most of his touches were basically him just running at the line in their own half (he also slipped 3 or 4 times that didn't help)

In multiple cases going whole sets without even passing the ball his direction in the opposition 20.

At the end of the day, their attack was horrible. They barely threatened even when they had the territory, and a lot of that time Ponga was nowhere to be seen.

When they look back at why their attack was so shit and they couldn't score points, get Ponga the ball in those situations is a pretty obvious solution on what they could do to improve.

Good looking warriors jersey and even a couple good games tonight

I wonder if having 3 halves competing for 2 positions, all wanting to prove their worth has something to do with Ponga not getting the ball from them.

Thanks for including number 18

So what you’re saying is people are going to complain about try saves even more now

Yeah but if he get's 4-6 weeks he could be amazing. Trying to find a way to fit him in currently.

2 pretenders with soft draws up against each other first up. Should be good to see who we can put a line through after 1 round.

Bloke was a bit crook a few years ago and let us know he wouldn't be playing for a Season or two.

I'm currently sitting at 464/11 with (C)Cleary the only gun I have left to play and an interchange full of cheapies, feeling really under par.

Have a decent bank saved and can't stop tinkering, I'm sure whichever cheapie I leave out of the squad to upgrade to a gun will be the wrong choice so I might just keep them all and use the bank on Tatola or Tupouniua (or both) next week.

AFB montages with cash in the bank aren't helping

Haha. I have him and wish I could find a way to fit him out. Nothing against him, just worried about how many possible short term prospects I have in my team.

I actually thought at half time last night I could possibly use Cotric as WFB cover and I could downgrade Tauapiki, but I’d rather not deal with that.

Will be a riot if CNK is back next week and Cotric gets dropped. Riot as in hilarious, not breaking shit.

Think that's a logical way to go. Cash in the bank opens up options you wouldn't get jumping on every limited option you have a hunch on over this weekend. Decent cash can turn two mediocres into two good players at first trade. Jump on someone who flops for the sake of points this weekend and those options are gone

Cash in the bank doesn’t pay for those offloads once it starts raining

McInnes minutes watch starts now

Yep, thats my theory, will have much better info by next week.

Grant OUT

AFB IN

Everyone still on Chan if named to start? Kind of want Blore switcheroo as feels like a trap
