    5 tries in 5 games is hard to predict (even optimistically) but buying Mam $150k ago would have been nice.

    Probably depends which foot Moses broke. If it was his left, can't see a problem, if it was his right then maybe, though if he's fit enough to play he should be fit enough to kick.

    Oh damn finishing up the Eels Broncos mini, jeez Talagi could have had a massive score! 57 is already miles above what I expected, but his disallowed try for obstruction would have taken him to about 75, and the ball he dropped right on the try line at the end, had he scored could have bumped him to the high 80s.

    i was impressed by his very solid defense he's a solid build & hits hard.

    Really not sure how to feel about it when stats clearly aren't being awarded despite being blatant. Kinda makes the whole thing feel significantly more about luck than in the past. Maybe it's always been this way, but I don't remember a season where stats felt so hit or miss.

    Note: Not a Salmon owner.

    Yeah he also 100% had one last week clear as day. They even awarded it live then took it away a little later then he never got it back.

    I still have the theory they just got cheap labour in and gave them minimal training. Stats have been all over the shop this year.

    I just find it weird this is the offical stat provider for the nrl as well didn’t think they’d cut corners s willy nilly

    It was a baptism of fire for the kid, was heavily targeted by the broncos, made some mistakes, but also came up with some great defensive and attacking plays. One to watch for the future

    Since Schieder was injured last night and is out for a few weeks it’s hard to look past Cole.

    Scored 24 in a half just tackling and kicking and is $230k

    Salmon got last week's TB back and the OFG changed to OFH when he updated from mid 20s to 35 before lockout lifted.

    Pretty sure Matto had an OFG early last night during a 5th tackle fuck-up though, just while we're noting possible missed stats Cool

    Madness having your marquee player (walsh) taking kick off's with the injuries coming out of it.  One of the cheaper players can be trained to do that.

    I thought Talagi was outstanding IRL at FB last night. Butchered a few tries but he was the one who instigated them. He was heavily targeted and just kept showing up. Totally different player at FB

    Replacing RTS. Want to maintain reserve Centre option.
    Which one would you grab?
    TU - Ramien (Sharks miss 16 & 20)
    TD - Sualli (Roosters miss 14 & 19)

    Cheers.

    Ramian could be a chance of Origin.. seen a few articles also

    Same situation, but looking at Yeo for rock solid reliability (he'll get injured next week now).

    Always interested in your thoughts, and curious about if/why you have a preference for Haas over Yeo?

    Big fan of Haas; started the year with him and intended to hold him all year but the injury broke that. Then the "scare" that he might be out again a couple of weeks ago kind of put me off again. Thinking that the more boring choice in Yeo probably just "safer?"

    How bad is Schnieder injury? Cole could be very interesting indeed.

    my tv broke wrote:I have Piakura at 18 but if Cheese is out then i might need to make a knee jerk trade to avoid that 10. Always wise to burn a trade to avoid a poor score.

    Should at least find out re cheese by 2pm today

    I ended up holding off the matto trade but if Cheese is out i'll also get Piakura's score. I've got J Hughes and Gray as potential last minute trade out options

    Cole seems interesting. Is he similar to Schneider and SOS in that he can come in, do bulk kicking, run the occasional play, but mostly just get the boys around the park? Or is he more like Sam Walker or Mam in that he is super active? Never seen him play.

    Also for those wondering, Luai is just as average with or without Cleary. 40 with Cleary, 42 without. No big gain in jumping on him.
