Is the MID DPP that valuable

Tbh I’d take that over what Nikora has been dishing up over the last month….

This weeks Fantasy Fantasy results are posted and can be found over here

If you had to keep one of Salmon, Hughes, Mikaele this week it would be Salmon right?

80 minutes at least gives him the opportunity to do something?

Yep, definitely.

Struggling to decide if Smithies to Sorensen is worthwhile, or as sideways as sideways gets, only done due to having so many on bye this weekend. But will I then regret it next week?

Alternatively, I would be forever in debt to someone who can break down why Twal is suddenly worthwhile. Appreciate Bateman and Ipap are both down, but not seeing exactly how this makes Twal any more relevant? Were people hoping he was named at 13 and now that he wasn't the enthusiasm has wavered, or are dudes still aboard the Twal Express... and if so, how would you sell tickets to someone completely uncertain about the allure of joining the ride?

Tried to search his name earlier, but was inundated with the spud version of the same name.

But what are thoughts on Hughes, of the Jarome variety? Can't see him being anything but an A+ pick up right up until R20, and should still be a pretty decent hold beyond, but not seeing much chat about it. Is it recent injury issues being the concern?

The byes aren't amazing, and he probably falls below keeper threshold when a fully fit Munster returns. And he's fully priced.

When Tigs speaks, we listen. Hope you can get an inside scoop on Armstrong before the Knights game mate. Will be 5am here when the Knights kick off

They seem pretty confident that Sharpe will debut this round.... Hoping this time round they're info is wrong though

I’ve had a good look but just can’t seem to fit him in

The byes are pretty good, he only has R19 left and no threat of Origin. He's still been able to average 50+ even with Munster there.

Also keep in mind that Munster is no guarantee to actually return before finals, as they're simply rehabbing him and delaying the surgery that he will definitely need at the end of the year, so he could very easily come back and then tear that groin again.

I mean if you can explain how Lawton does but Watson doesn't, or Chee Kam but not Talakai, and some others, I'll get a better hit rate

Lawton been starting HOK while Croker out. Watsons only starts have been at Mid.

Who mate? And why even name Armstrong then if that's the case.

Angus to Fifita
Mikaele to Twal
Hughes to Fainu

Will save a trade for the last game, if Matterson is a no show I’ll move to Hands.
Will just wear the Armstrong out if it happens

Given every fullback with a reasonable sample size other than Brimson scored below their average/expectations, I'm going to go with helping (if not proving) my point

Will look into the Panthers now, same thing...

Round 1: Storm - Pappy 20
Round 2: Eels - Gutho 31
Round 3: Broncos - Cobbo 46 (Walsh lasted 4 minutes, I'm assuming Cobbo went to FB?)
Round 4: Roosters - Tedesco 32
Round 5: Manly - Turbo 66 (1 try, bunch of attacking stats)
Round 7: Tigers - Bula 40
Round 8: Cowboys - Drinkwater 36
Round 9: Rabbits - Not counting this one, Grey had 40 mins for 10 points, then Cook went to FB
Round 10: Dogs - Tracey 23
Round 11: Warriors - Tuaupiki 45
Round 12: Sharks - Kennedy 13 (Had a low score against Storm as well FWIW)

Average here is.... 35.2 - Almost exactly the same as against Storm. Strange

I would love to get Jahrome Hughes myself if I could fit him in, I reckon he'd be a great buy.

At this point I am doing Hynes/Fifita and probably doing Shughes/Fainu. Not happy about trading a green dot but its Hughes and while I am not convinced about Fainu as a scorer, his DPP is valuable. Have 18 at the moment for this week.

Everything could change after Origin, an injury or two in that Queensland side could get me cold on Fifita, even though I don't think Fifita will get picked barring a disaster.

Any one want to give me team tracker a peak...

With Nikorima out I only had 10 last week so I am hoping for a boost in the rest of the bye rounds

I've been wondering the same thing about Twal. Are people not worried about his minutes at all? And why the love over Uto?

Going to be very interesting to see average green dots this week in top 1k

Feel like I’ve purposely gone in moderation for the byes with planning (have 4 on bye + Grant and Cotter to back up after trading Hynes). Just looking though the FOG/FOG H2H league and there’s occasional 8 red dots before trades (including Origin players and Armstrong as green dots)

I dunno about Sorensen with Garner on the bench.

Their bench is Naden, a debutant (Porter), Pole (who probably largely splits mins with Matamua) and a 2nd gamer (the less relevant S Fainu)

Excluding his try he’s basically a PPM player expecting 50+ mins priced at 41. Basically a fringe keeper whose score may dwindle in backend once those guys are back but you’re front loading points with no bye for yonks

May yet take the punt on Seyfarth.

Scores well at 2nd row, the hope would be that he provides good scoring in the 17 through this period with no byes while making $150k+. And I need a Mid for rd16. Would be nice if he was edge DPP.

Kepaoa coming into the spot was/is the potential risk.
