Roosters EDGs just feels like a bad idea now haha. Why can’t they just be normal and flog them for 80 minutes?

I know right, by all means what would I know, but it seems the days of a footballer who plays solid minutes, heaven forbid 80!, are decreasing season by season

Hey! Shut up, non witty, annoying guy!

Scored 623 and ranked 119k after Round 1. Making 0 trades - happy to play the long game.

To join the GGG you have to submit your upvotes/posts application and it needs to exceed 0.8 unless you have over 10000 posts in which case it needs to exceed 0.7.

God I love me a good old fashioned arbitrary gang

179/708 = 0.25

Sorry guys, I’m apparently a bit of a dick.

I promise to do better

Not going to sell but it’s not ideal

Who made this guy boss? Send them to me...

Actually don't do that, I'm a lazy, lazy man.

Was set on tesi to Tallis but looks like that might be off the menu too

No clear moves for me without double trading and ditching a tatola or toups who I’d normally leave another week or two until I have more info

In NSW Cup, without his 77th minute sin bin, Tallis would have played 50 minutes at lock for 28 fantasy points last week (includes adding the 5 points for sin bin back on). Priced at 29 and coming back from injury.

Yeah I only have to do it cos otherwise I’ll be playing with 16. Don’t think anyone else in my 18-21 is worth trading. And yes I’d have to play Strange too

Sounds like you’re almost at the point where you might have to sacrifice a mid ranger/gun to find a decent WFB/CTR.

For what it’s worth, I’m happily playing Strange in my 17 this week. Has a solid base and should be able to find his feet on offence more as the weeks progress. Floor seems to be 20 which is good enough for me over the opening rounds.

To hold Lolo, or to sell Lolo. That is the question. Why do I feel Lolo will be extremely limited until the end of year? I miss the old Lolo

480K to spend.. who are you buying?

Lussick and hope he keeps getting 60+ minutes for 40-45 points?

No one screaming buy

One of the most solid sells in the comp. Didn't expect there was downside risk from his decline last season, but Payten thinks otherwise.

I think everyone with him knows the answer to this one sadly

We all wanted to believe but whether it’s his powers waning early or him being paytened, his goose looks cooked from a fantasy perspective

I’d cut losses and find a bandwagon to jump onto

Cheers big ears

At the risk of angering the grumpy old rabbit and embodying this threads title, looks like I’m going cup stat fishing on Galvin..

Wait, what?

Think he's a sell mate. Could be talked into him before origin, but I don't see it now, and the weekend's score (and minutes) scream sell.

Straight out of high school, no Cup, no anything.

Its like when the ref gives TPJ a penalty because he seems the likely type to get a penalty. Marked man.

Where's the funny part, most of Ur posts have a fun part !!

Lolo may well be a dud yet and I get people wanting to sell but that game really didn't tell us much of anything about his minutes (and he scored fine in his 20mins).

I was having a look back through last season and Cotter also had a 35min (Sharks rd9) and 25min game (Tigers rd18) that were both big blowouts. It's clearly just something Payten likes to do to not risk his main guys and if anything it might support the case that he still sees Lolo as an important player for the season.

I'm thinking I'm giving him another week. But if I don't I think it would be Lussick I'd move him to.

Mate how many mins do you think for Lolo?

Just kidding, I think he's a sell. I'm also rather concerned to see Tommy Talau's name floating around as much as it is.
