Some great guns in there but scores could fluctuate huge if all those backs have an off week together. Could downgrade Rochow to Bateman, JNik to Cam Smith.

Rochow to Fensom could be good also with his price bottoming out around now.

Mann > Holland has to be done now!
Evans > Mataora

Might take a gamble on Mataora increasing his minutes due to the missing Rochow, no evidence to base it on but hope its right

Oh these late mail rumours, J Saifiti's at least likely to hit his BE though right even from the bench? I traded out Aloiai out instead when I heard the news and well he's just a semi-dud cash cow who I was holding for the first bye round and probably just carrying for a while until someone good came around.
If Saifiti's going to get crap scores from the bench though he'll become another trade problem but I suppose it's not a big one to worry about..........yet

Is it fair to say Merrin is a failing keeper and we should abandon ship? Anybody keeping the faith? (as opposed to keeping him because you have more pressing injury trades)

Nope, don't listen to him Loomer. Definitely been training the house down. Great pickup.

Well it's not a big sample size but the way Merrin's going currently, abandon ship. He's scored 50+ in base stats once, his best score of 54 was with a try and line break so 42 otherwise. Woods isn't doing too crash hot either but at least he ain't dipping below 40 like Merrin is.
I and perhaps others too bought him as a PPM king and so far he ain't delivering plus he plays Origin so it's getting very hard to justify keeping the faith with him at the price tag he's at.

Best case Robson has for fantasy players is that before the bye periods he goes down to 128k then you cash someone out for him then every game he plays over the bye period he score 30+ then after the last bye period game he gets dropped for Lolahea.

Haha fan fiction

I'm trading him for Fensom. But what do I know?

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Is Mataora a better option at his price with Rochow possibly out for two months, has been solid so far and hopefully without Rochow could push on?? Thinking of getting him in for Grant/Evans

Mataora is going to be a season keeper.

Moeroa, Saifiti and taylor one has to miss out. Who should be my 18th man.

It's tough being a coach

Wait for the late mail rumours. If it seems like Saifiti will be benched, you bench him too.

Haha thanks TBO, gonna think some more didnt realise he was DPP so not to pressing of a trade today

What does Cuban think of Mataora, i always enjoy hearing what you have to say on a subject?

Birdy's kid is doing the same face his dad does when he gets hit relatively high.

Hey buddy. I'm a big fan of Mataora. He's absolutely killed it this season. Knights best forward so far without a shadow of a doubt and one of the best cows. He will keep his starting spot all season in my opinion. He should maintain his average. But I can't see him increasing to a 50+ average and Rochow injury has no impact on him whatsoever.

I wouldn't be rushing him in if it were me. I think he's just below keeper status. I'm aiming for players a bit higher on the ladder - Fifita, Mannering, JDB etc

In saying that, us fantasy coaches can't have a final 17 made up of 100% 50+ scorers, so he could be a decent option.


PS. Big game tonight lad. I'm buzzing for it!!!!!
