I've got you this week in Bender's league and noticed that about 7pm. You mustn't have got my PM. Thought you must have been foxing.

Nope did not receive your PM. All good. Cody Walker just keeps on delivering though - love it!

Let's be honest here though were you expecting him to score two tries tonight? Most of the time players go really huge you wish you captained them but let's face it most of the time they're players who you'd never consider putting the C on.

34 in VSDT at HT, 39 by the end. I captained him there

Cody eating it up !

I think 4 or 5 of his 5 missed tackles came after half time. Perhaps blowing up after losing match fitness with his hospital stay? Should be better for the run.

Depends on which one of us you want to back up to I suppose

I just need more people to justify hurling abuse at the TV.

But in all honesty, wtf was Walker thinking. Every commentator picked up on it. That was Manly's for the taking.

Traded him in after rd 1 for Seggy and still have the cash sitting in the bank haha.

i was talking about the Match Day Thursday night game.
Why would anyone have him in regular fantasy

They mentioned in the call that the first 15 or so missed tackles came from Manly, the count ended up 33-22 Souths' way. 6 to Walker, 5 to Grevs and Surgess.

With that and 12 line breaks for the game, it was entertaining but the second half was not great for fantasy.

Soward posted a 180 odd but that was before the current scoring system

You must be sitting pretty mate, ready to splash at will !

Haha broke into the top 100.. for now

trying to get on the site after a game is fucking painful

BLaw actually had solid base stats, it was the missed tackles and penalties that hurt him

Will Api's performance come back to haunt Parcells minutes down the track possibly ?

Oh right of course. Even then I just put Parcell because I was like 'Eh Souths hookers are no go" but good job to play him there anyway, whoever did captain him got to be close to that match day prize money.

Knew he wouldn't be able to back up his historical 2014 season but I'm glad I got cold feet and grabbed him instead of Mike Cooper. Back to doing what he did in his debut season. Leads the defensive line making initial contact and dropping off the tackle after pushing the runner back. Great for Souths terrible for fantasy

I still think Parcel is owed that TA for Koro!

Imagine him at 5/8 next to DCE
