Despite having the offload taken away and error added they managed to find enough points to bump him up to 124

ABC Grandstand is the best commentary and coverage of NRL by far. Great analysis, good insight, love the call ins. I was doing the same last year whilst running and it was very enjoyable.

Agreed. I would love to find an archive of Grandstand calls to work out to - so much better than podcast morons

Fecking Hynes

At least I still won my head-to-head

But the real tragedy about all this, is that I was easily in front of MattNZ by some distance and while I still beat him this week (even though he had Beanz as captain - 911 to 905); he is now still in front of my in the FOG. That is the pits

Is it too much to wish for a 30 point downdate

Hynes up to 124, now beating you.

Strange, Kris, May, Cheese to go this week. When do 4 trades start?

I remember listening to the Eels getting towelled up by the Dolphins (again) last year down in the Snowy Mountains between stints in and out of the vehicle. Definitely a good way to catch the footy if there's no TV or Kayo catch-up around for the weekend.

Strange down to 14 is pretty gross but I suspect nearly everyone is playing him. 

Might grab Garrick in anticipation for his move to full back once Trbo breaks.

I feel like this week is going to be a bit of a ballfest in terms of who to bring in. I have my three to trade out, but I feel like there's a lot of options to choose between this week.

Leaning towards Bateman, Weekes and Brailey. Brailey mostly as hooker cover as I'll be punting Lussick.

But I know I will be tempted by Armstrong, Garrick, Sam Walker, Nikora, Teddy and probably a few others worth a look. Atkinson offered a pretty solid account of himself today, but likely too many other options.

I’m a bit confused, how does someone come into the team after 8 weeks of not being good enough and take control of the team?

Maybe Ricky was happy with his running role which is probably fair, he’s injected himself pretty well in every game. The 2 games he’s had really dud scores including this week he went close to some big try scoring plays. Instead got -2 both times.

He will have some big games but the lack of base will mean some really low scores too which you don’t want in the 17. I’m looking at the following and saving my first single trade of the year:

Terrell > Plath 
Chan > Garrick

Yuck. With Chester gone now, I'd hate to be forced into a CTR trade this week with all the options available.

Garrick obviously a good (but expensive) option but probably not where I'd prefer to be going if position is not at the forefront of my mind.

Just had a quick look and Raiders play Manly next week. Hopefully they go a bit better, especially without DCE and Ola. Strange has been solid and hopefully this is just a miss-step, though not too positive when Weekes and Chevy still managed to pull a decent score from that match.

Origin doesn't normally affect the Sharks much, will prob lose 2 this year.

Cheers for that mate, I’m still scratching round to see where it’s all gone wrong, so any info is helpful.

Was probably going to let Plath slip by this year, but that's actually a very appealing option too. Add Plath to the list, though it'd be tough missing this week's price bump. That trade this/last week would have been a masterstroke.

Looks like Plath then daylight amongst the mids

I Strange was probably guilty of pushing it a bit too much this week as they became more desperate to score, plus nearly nabbed a barge over try. I wouldn’t be trading this week with far more urgent fires to extinguish. Raiders have a bye in a fortnight. Might have a think about it then.

Kris, Strange, Levi, May, Chester all part of my 17 this week. Thank F those shittos were offset by Walsh, McInnes, Gus, Jolliffe, and captain Hynes.

I was actually close to bringing him in this week but ended up going JBrailey to keep my HOK coverage. 

However Terrell a definite trade and it’s a like for like swap with them both missing 14. Plath has the benefit of playing RD16 and RD19 and the DPP is really handy. Team will be this after trades:

Egan 
Carrigan Plath Smithies
KPP Angus
Hynes Galvin
Garrick Iro
Drinky Papy Kiraz 
Brailey Bateman Piakura Gutho
Salmon Hughes Strange Chevy

That squad gives me:

RD13: 13 playing
RD16: 13 playing 
RD19: 11 playing 

Does this mean I get fantasy? 

Cheese > Brailey
May > Bateman
Kris > Garrick

First thoughts for trades this week

I'm sure youre not entirely serious about the fullback thing but I'd say there's a fair chance Koula takes the fullback spot if we're without Turbo
