I'll say my Hailmarys

22 points total from both games today.

Bit strange having no Broncos players

Can anyone remember a fantasy year with so many failed cows? My cash gen is absolutely rooted. And none of my mids have done particularly well either

I was just thinking of fading him because he looks like another 20s plodder, will be priced at ~$355k and even if he did average 30 then he only makes $80k.

Yeah I swerved him because his base seemed suspect and looked that way again tonight. Got better minutes though so that could help, question is whether that's the new norm.

Yeah I'll probably stick to no decent EDG bar Hosking and stick with 2 from Dylbro Guth Kris Blaize depending on performances this week. I sold Cleary and so many fires to deal with. Can't fathom people with similar fires that kept Cleary even if back next week

Yeh that's why I've forced myself to take atleast one cash maker in each double trade week. Risky, but have to have a crack.

Far out McIntyre.. Forcing me to play Levi

Huge Curran downgrade from 50 to 41 :-(

Just got back in again so missed most of both games….good win from the Bronx.

Anyone else not check their phone if they can’t watch in case they curse their players? Looks like it didn’t work with most of the Bulldogs

Don't blame Bob Jane. It's on you for picking him.

He loved going in first and dropping off for an MT

I was ready if he somehow scored a try to post REEEEBA

@Wiremu Trades Gone? @DazzaNZ get yourselves some avatars.

I was watching it at a mates place not checking the scores and after he went off I guessed he’d be on about 9 or 10 so I guess 16 is substantially better

Fucking Hughes aye. I think I may feel better about things if I just tell myself I'm playing with 16 and Salmon scored 30.

Just wrapped up watching the matches and will browse the scores and maybe drop some mind-urine as I read them;

Cook - ouch. Thankfully he's in the auto-fill team. Would be hard watching this if you owned and bailed.

King - must mention that he looked bloody good out there. I don't pay enough attention to know what he does each week, but he was noteworthy.

Hutch - thank sweet christ at least one of these plodders delivered the goods, Fantasy-wise. I'll happily take this.

Preston - how on earth did he come back on, but good luck to him.

Hawkins - solid score (43).

Mann - already made 93K with a bit more to come. What could've been...

Kiraz - glad I didn't entertain him this week, will be sadder when he gets 60 or so next week. These up and down players are a tough ride. Looking at my team, looks I just prefer the down and down players.

Salmon - like this guy. Okay, so he was solid last week so it's not all down, but dude just seems allergic to scoring Fantasy points. And I know he was not in his selected position for a lot of this match, but still. Just something would be nice. There is a wide race in my team of players dying to be culled and I fear that Salmon might just flip his way out of the cut. Because, as hard as it is to believe, there's probably still worse.

Hughes - like this guy. Get out of my team immediately, at midday, on Tuesday, when the app unlocks. Don't care who it's for, just not him.

Second game;

Nanai - mentioned him in some context previously... having a really solid start to the season.

Finefeuiaki - bit undecided about this one. Brought him in this week because it was definitely now or never for me and I figured he could probably crawl his way to some okay price rises. But as was kind of alluded to in previous posts, he just becomes another one of these plodders I don't want to have to play each week. If I get rid of two even bigger spuds next week hopefully I can work towards getting him in my NPR, and even if not, he's not worse than who I've had to play so far anyway.

Dude goes okay, but just looking at his stats now (maybe should have done that before, lol) and does he ever off-load, ever? It didn't and doesn't look like it. For some reason, he seemed a lot more dynamic to me a couple of weeks ago when he came on, I think in the same game Luki got injured. Tonight he just looked like a massive plodder, helping out with tackles here and there and basic (rare) hit ups. His main purpose seems to be trying to fool the opposition into thinking he's actually going to get the ball, for once, as the rest of the team pass it out to Valentine Holmes, for the 897th time of the match. One of those dreaded players that if being a decoy scored Fantasy points he'd be gold. But they don't, and he's not. But hopefully he can keep this price ticking over and show a bit more fire in coming weeks.

Willison - definitely should have just pocketed the extra coin and gone to this dude instead. Scored almost as many points as Fine in half the time. Looks far more likely too.

Cobbo - ouch, didn't imagine his score being that low. I guess I can see it now thinking back over the game. I was actually looking at the CTR/WFB duals this week and wanted to punt on Lomax (but went cheapies instead), mostly due to the added security of goal kicking. Still needs to play this weekend and might score 12, but will be curious to see how he matches up against Kiraz/Cobbo.

Bit sporadic and over the joint, but just my thoughts as I catch up. Only fielding 15 this week and with Salmon, Hughes, Sitili, and Fine (Strange, Burbo and Levi still to be rolled out), it's more like fielding 13, but morale is solid. One can only smile and await what eye slaps the next games produce.

Arthurs 22
Staggs 32
Cobbo 20
Patty 62
Wilison 32

Drinkwater 58
Holmes 41
Laybutt 25
Robson 42
Tolo 32
Fine 26
Nanai 46
Cotter 46
McIntyre 15

Mate you guys had two thirds of the crowd it was 65percent Dogs if we are being honest. It’s just good to have a win I know Souths have some issues but I’d rather focus on the positives of how hard we had to dig. We had to defend an extra 12 sets of 6 mainly to Gerry giving the Dogs the rub of the green we ended with a 14-7 count in the Dogs favour a few forward passss they got away with too and as for the thing on Murray I thought it could have been a send off. Anyway I was laughing at Dogs fans online blaming the refs for losing when they had enough ball to win 2 games.


Atmosphere was so good with my NZ mate we both were going bonkas BL knows I’ve sent him some videos. I did so much clapping too that my hands were nearly bleeding and my voice is struggling mostly gone. The boys showed grit and we had too.

Went to the post match members function too at the ground and got a photo with Tyrone Munro I’ll upload it tomrrow. I would upload a couple of videos if I could but don’t think it’s possible on here.

Well done Cook and Murray owners. Hughes can’t believe he only got 14mins. Hutcho I’m happy with.

Overall it’s just nice to have a win and the Roosters lost so now I can enjoy the rest of my Easter.

As for the Trell bashes I’m not sure what else he was meant to do on Addo Carr Trell was trying to save a try he’s a big boy it was an accident and it’s a contact sport.
