U'd be a watch recipient for sure.



TLDR; I've met Teetheater, I assume he recalls meeting me and I damn hope he knows I was just taking another low ball joke opp.

Love u @Teetheater !

His insights are actually refreshing and beautifully honest. Keep em coming big time.

Haha, yes mate, I do indeed recall our rendezvous with the fondest of memories. I still have the photos on my fridge.

But yeah, that was a jolly good time and hopefully we can actually recreate the event another time. Would love to do it once where we could hit up Bay Road Brewery before or after the game... problem being every single other human in NSW has the same idea on game day and it'd be hard to get a seat on the sidewalk out front.

Anyway, absolutely zero offence taken. I don't get offended easily and I have to admit I actually had to google "TLDR" last night to see what it meant, lol. But when I saw it's meaning I thought these dudes are only stating facts.

Because this forum moves at such an insane pace I am not always up to date with running jokes n' stuff, but if someone says my ridiculously long post is ridiculously long and they're not inclined to read it, that's completely understandable. So even if it hadn't been a joke, all is good. Glad you enjoy the rambles and thanks to everyone else with the uplifting words, lol.

Now, about my team. Anyone wanna swap?

It was golden, a beat down,

Faringdon knows where it's at.

Losing 5 from Levi while Hosking gets 6 is a bit of a swing.

Still a nice rank rise this week and 20pts for those who got on in fantasy fantasy, you're welcome.

Levi losing 5 points secured me the win in My H2H with only 15 players too!
4-0 now, bit of beginners luck for my first cash league.
Hopefully only need to do the 1 trade this week to bring paps in and finally get rid of J Gagai

It says a lot about this season where I’m travelling ok in the overall ranks and yet can’t make cash from any of my starters. my best cash generator is Galvin, who I grabbed R3, he’s made more cash in 2 than anyone else in 4 and it’s not even that close

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson is expected to promote Angus Crichton into the starting side for Friday’s clash against Canterbury.

Crichton earned a call-up into the NRL side back in round two but has been used off the bench.

Robinson is expected to elevate Crichton onto the left edge with Sitili Tupouniua the one likely to come out of the starting 13.

Prop forward Lindsay Collins is back running after picking up a minor hamstring injury against South Sydney but is unlikely to be rushed back onto the field. (Telegraph)

Well that makes it easier, Sitili gtfo over Burbo.

Was probably trading Sitili regardless, but that confirms it.

Tups is a better impact player than Angus anyway. I rate Angus of more a Nat Butcher type. Someone who is defensively sound, and can hold down the fort in the opening stages of the game. Bring Sitili on after 20 minutes and push Angus or Nat to the middle.

Angus next week eh to replace one of the coin goats

Going for Roosters EDGs like infinity stones

Angus priced at 437k wow....

Big risk move though with the roosters' rotation but fk me that's a bargain IF he plays 80

Feels like Angus has been used so sparingly off the bench, that he could just be sideways from Tups? Could just have the same starting role and fantasy scoring output at the same price.

Could wait a couple of hours for teamlists, but early thoughts are Burbo to DBrown, then anyone over 366k to Gutho. Main candidates are Sitili and Smithies, but could just punt Galvin and bring him back in 2 weeks.

Pretty tempted by Sitili against a Preston-less Dogs, but otherwise he's pretty shit. Wish I'd punted him after Rd 1 instead of saving a trade. Smithies out leaves a decent bank and he might've hit his ceiling in Rd 1. 46 points in Rd 2 playing 80 was a little underwhelming, then backing it up with low 30s is kind of alarming.

Feels simpler to just trade Galvin and bring him back for Hutch, Flanno, Sitili, Salmon, Levi etc in 2 weeks when a few have likely peaked.

Or I could've waited 5 minutes for Tigs to post

tempted to hold Hosking just so I can l**p Chan & Salmon

There are a number of players available this week that should be seriously considered for bringing in anyway - Blaize, Gutho, Brown, KPP if you don't have them.
