I've got Mbye, but if I were making that choice this week I'd go with Sezer. Cheaper, lower break-even, and slightly easier opponents over the next month.

If I'm bringing one of them in as a keeper though I'm not interested in Break Evens. Nor am I interested in the next few weeks as its points from here on in til round 26.
Yeah, Sezer is cheaper but not by much.

Keary was suspended for round 1. Just coincidence that Reynolds got injured round 1, otherwise I suspect Walker would have only played that one game to fill the void left from Keary.

Serious? Broncos have to play 8 games in Australia between now and round 14. And they still say the draw favours us. What a rort.

hahah. i dont buy into all that crap nor do i care.

simply a fantasy point of view, its nice to have picked up RTS last week knowing he has 7 'home' crowds in the next 8 games.. it surely looks attractive for anyone thinking about grabbing him now.

Doesnt bode well for the run home though.

Having said that, the run home is not a strong point for the warriors, historically.

I wish we knew. If he gets an extended run he'd be worth bringing in

its a longer flight to townsville than sydney, though..

Finally, some equality. Its about damn time.

Cronulla dont leave NSW between rounds 2 and 20 and only 3 times in 2016. Poor blokes. How are they meant to rack up frequent flyer miles?

This is my bunch of muppets for this round.. Trades were JLJ --> Holland and Jikorima --> Parcell, leaving me with $105k in the bank..

Tedesco, Mansour, Barba
Holland, Hunt
Milford, Hastings
Parker, Surgess, Whitehead
Woods, Lawrence
Smith

Bench: Parcell, Martin, Taylor and 1 of Evans/Jaifiti/Carter (if he plays).

Rest: Mitchell, Gutherson, Benry, Bhana, Feeney, Leuluai...

JLJ is still a chance of playing centre for the next 3 weeks

Great work again HS. Take the time to read these guys. They are an absolute work of art week in and week out

Really appreciate the kind words mate. Glad you enjoy them so much.

Surely Milone or Lovett get a gig before JLJ

Out of interest, what were the change of rules this year?

Around interchange, and the overall focus on speeding the game up.

Ah, sorry, I thought you mean changes to the fantasy game. Cheers.

Who is saying Reynolds is back?
When will we know for sure?. Got killed last week captaining Garvey and having Jturbo no show.

Also who is JLJ? Can't think for the life of me.

More mentions of Bill Murray in the weekly write up = winner

Didn't have time to make any trades due to a busy week. Got the weekend away in Switzerland for a festival, think I should just avoid trying to make any last minute ones on the phone and go trade free? Feels like I might as well take it for a sign and ride my luck

I can bring Tedesco in this week for DCE

Pro: Then have set and forget WFB of Mansour, RTS, Teddy, won't touch any of them all year barring injury
I'll have the highest scoring player n the game this year in my team (like I should have freaking done from the start)

Con: Means I'll have to keep Garvey a week or 2 longer as Teddy will take away most of my upgrade funds. Will have to put up with Teddy going MIA over origin.

My halves would be Hastings, Taylor, Barba, Feeney which would probably be acceptable short term, and bring in the big guns later.
