Doesn't that impact Faalogo? The return of Munster will impact Wishart.

I sold Papy this week after holding since injury as apparently he said on podcast he's back in 3-4 weeks. I tried watching the podcast on YouTube but hour long without timestamps and lost interest after about 15 mins of him Munster and Hughes talking about their outdoors experience team builder thing

Seen talk on here mention of Papy going to 5/8 when back but can't back it up with anything

Probably a massive stretch from me but could be implying Papi will play 5/8?

Also mentioned he wants to see Fa'alogo on the ball more

Interesting, thanks mate.  So Belly is looking at playing Paps in the halves.

How would he go in the middle tackling?

I had him pencilled in as a keeper centre
Aside from price peaking any reason you reckon he won’t be?

Partly what Milch said, but also because:

a) he's the most owned player in the game, and you have to make up ranks somehow
b) with Wighton, Garrick, Aitken there's a lot of centre cover around
c) if I want a pure centre as a points/cash play, getting e.g. Tago/Herbie/Penis means I'm also upgrading in quality of footballer, which tends to pay off
d) 8+8 trades left

I think I will keep him as a 19th man keeper as long as he keeps his centre spot. Has a pretty solid base at centre and my other keepers have all have DPP for when the end of season carnage erupts (Aitken, Wighton, Kiraz and Garrick).

Not sure why, but Sunday and Monday players always seem to disappoint.

Strange, literally the first two days announced to be “happy days” in the themesong.

As long as Wishart and Faalogo are available for 16 they can do whatever they like after

Sounds like Bellamy didn’t buy Wishart this week

I didn't watch the game but he was probably kicking off in the coache's box on every Wishart attacking play

I posted earlier this week about having had a lucky H2H draw in L8. This week, my 16 players earned me a decent 846, the second highest in L8.

So you can guess who my H2H was against this week. The guy who put up the highest. Well played EagleStars with your 898. You'll be leaving the L8 gang far behind next year.

How’s the mod league going? Been quiet the last few weeks HS

The Mod God continues to do Mod God things.

Highest score this week among the mods. Think that puts me into 2nd. I was 1 and 4 in the last 5 that's why I've been quiet. Girlfriend had the laptop?

Still pissed about the Eels loss but not too unhappy with my score of 782 with 15 players

It's going to be another interesting week, 2 bulldogs on the bye, Galvin out, not sure if Hynes is back, and if Hynes is back will Atkinson be dropped for Trindall?
I'm sure there'll be a few more surprises to keep things interesting. Will be happy to field 17

Yeah it'd make perfect sense to try Papy at 6 and Sua at 1 until Munster's back.

Wishart has done an admirable job but he's a huge handbrake in attack and his dummy and run won't fool better defences.

In round 27 last year (the game where everyone got rested), Sua came off the bench and went on at fullback, and Papy moved to the halves, so it's not like Bellamy hasn't done it before.

Defence in the line might be a problem but you know Papy will give it his all, he's got more heart than people give him credit for.

Just a lazy 959 for the BL charge.

Eels forward J'maine Hopgood, who was backing up from Origin, suffered from a nerve problem in his back.

“In hindsight, J’maine Hopgood probably shouldn't have played. He's got a nerve problem in his back.

“It was a big effort for him to get out there, but he was fairly hampered by that from Origin the other night ... I think Liam Martin had a fair bit to do with it last week, so we'll see; he's a tough fellow Hoppy, but we have got to learn from that as well and we've got a short turnaround so we'll have to manage that this week."

Hopgood missing 3 of the next 6 weeks and looking like he will be managed with a 5 day turnaround this week.

Probably going to be in the $600ks in R21 as a strong buy opportunity.

Grant, Soro, Dylbags, Galvin, Brailey, all a bit underwhelming this round.

I've had him all year, and not sure if this means I should sell him or not.
