Do you think May is must have or is it better to get J. Curran with the DPP?

May just looks dangerous.
Curran's DPP is useful, but if you read my list of forwards I have a few of those chickens already.
Also, Dogs are woeful at the moment.

Talau +0 = 35

Can I please be demoted to L9 or lower?

Rev has scored 905, most others 800+ except myself and 3 others lol

I’m running out of edges is my issue and I have no route to Moses or Fog right now not good not good at all.

Just a little treat for a good Fantasy score? What a devoted coach!

If you score 70+ you get my tight bung. It's the incentive

Even at 30 points, Burbo still makes $37k.
Keep it up lad.

I have issues everywhere Luki, Hutcho, Flanno, Shitili, Wrong, not good.

Mate you can’t just go giving some of your shittos nicknames and not the others. I am going to suggest Puki, Hutchoke, and Flannope.

Lol to anyone who is worried about there team it's round 2 the team in 2nd place is an absolute shambles and a friend of mine has an equily shit team in the top 300 don't panic stay on course conserve trades and play the long game and use your experience to navigate the bye rounds better than most u will end up back on track for a good finish.

Use a period, brother!

I think going forward they should discard the first names and count any Smith minutes at hooker as one. Would bring Cheese to a more respectable 51.

Gonna have to keep the faith in Hutch for a couple more weeks. Titans and then the Rabbits at home will probably be it. His price is low enough that he doesn’t lose a lot of money but will need to find a way to get him into EMG if at all possible.

Luki could be used to open up a loop this week which could be useful. Either that or he is a straight enough swap to May. Haas could be that loop for all we know.

Sitili and Wong are again cheap enough that they won’t shed a ton of money in the short term but could use some better scorers with more assured minutes.

Lots of decisions to be made post TLT

Well I just did how about that as I’m grumpy and Robbo with his rotations pissed me off and they’re Roosters as well……… I wear my heart on my sleeve.

808 for the week for me, hosking and terrell making it respectable. Ranked about 8k

The other Roosters and dogs players the main problems. Tohu also disappointing score this week but thats no biggie.

Punting hopgood cost me around 15 points in the end which wasnt as bad as it seemed (hopgood and galvin vs terrell & turbo). Tbh reasonably happy with pulling the trigger since Terrell is a beast. Probably play 30 mins next week lol

Probably have to double trade again i guess.

You are looking at it wrong, start strange/galvin there and play the long game looking for value elsewhere.
Whats the difference of playing them on the bench or starting? You dont have to spend up here
The bench players could be any position and you don't always get the optimal player in the position you want so keep this open to availability

Chasing these high priced players is simply putting all your eggs in one basket or simply swapping cash from one spot to the other and creating a whole new one (ie Swapping Ponga to a Fogarty)
You will get to the stage where your team value stagnates and you are simply shuffling players after their last weeks scores while feeling like you are a week behind those above you.

Grab the 2 best value fun to watch players next week, don't spend too much and there will be fuckloads of options available (Fuck thrown in there to help relate)
Do the same thing next week and the following
Grab some fallen guns in a month

Only you can sort your problem out, don't overthink it. Get to it

888 for me this week 73k up to 6k

Ponga+Kini out for Lussick+Tyrell May

Will see what happens next week, for now will just enjoy this one

Now for another entrance

Early flick of Ponga - interesting. Could prove to be seriously well played.

My problem is that I have 5 plodders and duds that I would love to punt, but I'm not seeing a combo of any two of them that can get me to Terrell May and Finefuiaki. Which, on a Sunday night before team lists n' stuff, is where I feel I want to be next week. Just not sure I can get there... unless I trade out a Ponga too, lol. But I don't have the testicular fortitude for that, as I am certain he will score a 91 the week I trade him out - if I did.

Not really though.  Wong, Sitili, Luki, Salmon, Hutch, Kris, Kini......

At this stage Luki and Sitili are gone for maybe Galvin and May.  I reckon Sitili gets benched.  Happy to persist with Wong though.  Hutch and Salmon no choice so hopefully they retain their roles.

Maybe we'll be lucky and JC gets another week of rest.

Oh.....I have Hunt too.  I must have forgotten he stopped playing for the Broncos about 8 fucking years ago.

I actually forgot about Kini. So I actually have 6 plodders and duds. That said, I really hope Campbell is at least still one more week away as I just have thing feeling that Kini isn't the massive dud he's been portrayed to be so far. Would like to see him have another chance, not that it matters, as he won't have time left to do anything with that price anyway.

And I'm worried that even if Campbell isn't back, Brimson probably is at fullback until he is.

That clarifies things.
