Avatar bet Smith outscores your captain? You don't have Teddy do you?

@krumpy Had Benny Hunt mate avatar bet Parcell out scores him?

Mearcats wrote:Neither this week if Carter plays. Madge has clearly persisted with him for a reason, seems to be a favourite. Think he's been told if he can shape his shit up he'll secure a fulltime role, otherwise he's gone. If he plays tonight (even off the bench) expect him to go decent. BE of 19 means he's a hold if playing.

I need the cash from one of Jacob Saifiti and Paul carter. Was leaning towards keeping jaifiti because of Rochow injury and origin but not sure whether keeping Paul carter would be better. If he forces his way back in could score well

BREAKING: @jamestedesco93 in doubt for @WestsTigers with a hip injury. #NRLKnightsTigers

Hmm think he'll play I remember he wasn't going to play last week due to an ankle injury

Teddy news is pretty shattering for the kid if true. Never had a good history with injuries. Let hope it's just minor. I don't have him in fantasy but not crowing about that, hate seeing talented players who really make the game a pleasure to watch get injured.

Should we have an avatar bet on your prediction then? Parker kicked 5/6 last night no? So even if he had of kicked the other he'd still only have scored 50... Your maths may be different to mine but not sure that 50 and 60 are the same.

Nice try. I meant I expected the Broncos to score more tries then they did. Include some conversions and a couple of tackles and he makes 60 like I said. I dont see you making any predictions though, rather sitting on the fence throwing stones? Hmm...

All that extra weight of peoples fantasy captain pressure weighing too heavy?

I've traded out Carter. I'm hoping from the bench he scores his BE from base stats but then loses them with negative points.

This is why sometimes it's best if u have a decent scorer in the first game and they are named sometimes it's best to just lock them in as captain. Wonder how many people have ted as captain. Was so close last night to locking debelin in as captain, and hence would have just put Dugan as vc since he was my only other playing in the game.

Cheers MF means I won't risk playing carter in place of rochow. Think I'll take a gamble on grevs instead and hope you are right . Fwiw I agree on Bateman re minutes.

What's the upgrade? Can it wait a week. It's premature trading either out this week now that Carter is playing but if it's a necessity then trade Carter. I'd be holding them both for the week a) to see what happens with Carter and get the cash and b) to see what sort of minutes Jaifiti gets and whether he is used off the bench even with Rochows injury.

Carter will play 40 minutes and score 50. You watch.

I'm keeping Jaifiti. Lower BE and plays round 12 (maybe)

Well now that I've traded him out he will

Bloody hell I heard that Tedesco news but what can I do? Got him in this week but oh no I ain't reversing that trade and he ends up playing and scores 60+
They say he's got until the Captain's Run to prove his fitness so I'd better find out before 5:30PM tomorrow because of the lockout on DCE who I traded out for Teddy this week.

I dont wish an injury on anyone but I do wish Tedesco would take a week off to rest as a precaution. NSW need him fit and firing.

Hahaha, I don't make predictions... What's the point? Just giving us fence sitting stone throwers more ammunition when you are inevitably wrong.

I'd much prefer to help people with their teams and contribute where I can factually and statistically in hopes that they can enjoy the game as much as I do. I gamble for sure but even when I do that I do it based on a shit load of prior research. Bit hard to do a lotaa research on a kid who's played one A grade game wouldn't you say? Hmmm?

Need to get parcel in for Garvey. Should have done last week. Only other person I would think about trading is lmitchell and TMM but think they still have more to give. With the knights cattle back and jaifiti being tired despite the Rochow injury not sure whether he gains the starting position back. PcArter could but doesn't play round 12

Just a guess but I think the bulk mins goes to those two. Grevs might get a rest because Sammy will probably play 80 again.
