Had nobody play last night and dropped over 8000 places, but jeez that was a high scoring game

Milford only 40 with a try.

I had nobody either and dropped 3000 spots

To be fair that tackle early on didnt look good. Fair cause for concern.

Id be pleased if I scored with a 40 yo Stifflers Mum.

Had Parker, Duges and JDB and only went up about 1500 places.
Depends where on the ladder you are and which players the teams around you have.

Just realised there are three Tims in the top 6 of the Fanatics leaderboard.
Are we just that good?

I was expecting Milf to update generously with all the attacking opportunities Brisbane had. Too bad that field goal attempt was shite, but the 5 missed tackles were the killer.

On the other hand, I didn't expect Roberts to almost double after the update, so I'll take it. Looking forward to the Milf and Roberts show going off against Newcastle next week.

Agree on that one but it happened multiple times and its the same story every week. I can't handle watching him anymore.

JDB looks everything a season keeper this year

I'm the opposite. Exact kind of player I want in my team.
I'd get bored seeing someone pump out 45, 45, 45 each week. Rather see a 30, 25 and a 90.

Then again I have Parker and he's gone 50, 48, 49, 69, 51, 48 so bloody consistent.

17 for this week, made some big last minute changes based on Rochow being out for a few months

Smith (Parcell)
JDB (60), Surgess
Parker (48), Fensom, Whitehead (Taupau, Jaifiti)
Walker, Hastings (Taylor)
Dugan (68), Hunt
Tedesco (c), Barba, T-Turbo

Fensom in for Rochow and Holland in for Lafai.
Mitchell benched for Jaifiti who will hopefully be starting/see some more minutes with Rochow out.
Expect T-Turbo and Taupau to go well against the Warriors. They love slipping off tackles and if Vatuvei is marking T-Turbo then that wing could be in trouble thanks to Manu being a slow turner.

When he plays 80 mins then yes, when he plays 60 mins or so he will average the same as last year you would think. Either way he is in my side and wont be moving on unless he gets injured. (He won't make the run on NSW squad)

I better get my game on so we can make it 4

Broncos v Dragons changes:

I think it's time to pick up Fensom next week... all part of my bye planning... just realized that my 2nd row is a bit thin for round 12 & 18  

His price is about to go up again after his round 2 low score

I don't believe Parker only got 48.

I have three words for you..

Creagh. Ben Creagh.

he had knee surgery last week, so might be awhile away yet

Will Matthews played Ben Creaghs role really well last night, come on around the 20-25 mark and be absolutely useless, drop the ball a few times and hit the ball up worse than his grandma and then get benched at halftime and not return.
Has no effect on JDB.

Yeah, depending on Cody Walker news next week think I will get Fensom via Jack Littlejohn and Ben Henry. Can't rely on picking a keeper half at this stage, may just wait for Johnson/DCE round 13.
So hard to pick a consistent half at this stage of the year but if Ben Hunt comes good (don't think he will, just looks like Milford is getting a lot more touches this year and doing long range kicking).
Has scored tries etc to bump his average to 50, but normally these try scoring games would be 65+ games for him.
