Also posted on whirlpool, but fucked if I'm going to google his posts there. (I think it was the whirlpool ones that got him into trouble)

For the curious bunch here is a link to the actual video about him. http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article/9105316/dole-abuse

Actually didn't mind him as a poster. He was only a dick to those who were a dick to him, and I had a couple of chats with him about how the system works.

Imma get him just for that POD factor. Everyone be bringing Peats in and well he does play all 3 bye rounds but I think I can work around that creatively enough.

He got 14 points with that run to set up Kahu, then got another 8 a minute later, not sure if a Fanhub error.

Man both those Broncos halves were on 30 with about 8 mins to go. Then Dragons defence goes to tissue and they both end up making their breakeven. I was really hoping someone, namely Hunt would start losing some cash to upgrade Walker. Spoiled next weeks plans right at the death!

Apparently Caleb Timu going to the Reds

Wow, that's a shame if true. Was hoping to see him over the Origin period.

Muhaha got v lucky at the end but just offset his usual huge KM points

Was a few thousand short of grabbing JDB and Aitken last week and some how ended up with neither. JDB playing 80 at lock and Aitken with some big updates on the way to blow both their prices out just before the byes

I think Cooper will be starting for Packer next week. Mother Mary not happy with him

Still mulling it over buddy. Im 60% sure lol

Oh and back into the 20k region i go haha

Considering I only had Roberts 25 I only dropped 200 spots to 236 i'll happily take that!

Oh yes gonna be huge Cuban!! Cant wait to see the yellow wall doing its thing!

I have had him since rd. 2 and TBH he has only been great guns since. It's defs a risk and I understand that but I'd say it's a risk worth taking. I've had nothing bad to say about hi since I bought him in and with the injury to Rochow I expect him to pick up minutes. He may not, they may go to Safiti but even with 40 mins, a 47.6 average is nothing to be spat on.

Parker(C). Not too happy with that. Dugan did well.

Will be deciding between Rein and Liicha next week.

Yeah those are my thoughts excactly, im hoping he can pick up maybe 20 more minutes at the end of the game after having a breather. Also the trade will leave me with 100k in the bank to do something with next week if needed (Walker might be gone, or maybe get Ted for a laugh haha)

If i do get him it will between Evans/Grant, thinking Grant can catch the bus home lol

When are you thinking of bringing him in then? If I was in your shoes I'd be watching this week closely (if you're not already set on bringing him in) as I think if you wait you'll miss out.

Grant will come good whens Woods goes (rd. 12) but by then you'll have missed the boat on Mataora. The decision is one that you need to make now.That's what I mean about a risk. Will he pick up more minutes? If not, will he maintain his average? IMO, in your case I'd be picking him up now. The risk is he turns into Woods.... Better minutes but lower quality/output.

Another "if only" fantasy moment... JDB's no try

I only just got over the Maubs/Mitchel's no try

Good player, that Muhaha. If you had him you'd be laughing.

If I get him its this week or nothing for him. I could get a more premium FRF, but I like a lil bit of risk and im hoping his prior performances can eventually get him up to that keeper status and ive saved a fair amount of coin.

I put $140 on Broncs to win to nil paying $7.50 Nice $1050 collect. I was shitting myself at the end there and was praying they'd overturn the JDB try. Got lucky tonight!!

My word the Dragons are awful. Widdop is the most overrated player in the NRL. Controversial, yet true. He reminds me of a lost crab.
