I mentioned last week how Sezer was a ball hog too and refused to pass to Whitehead against the Bulldogs.

Players that I hope will get injured within the next few weeks for Fantasy reasons:

Sezer
Tedesco
James Graham
Merrin
Parker
Gillett


Get fucked cunts

Didnt see the game what happened to Mansour or did he just not get involved ???

Not sure... Probably just wanted to thank everyone who traded him in on his previous good performances.

I agree with you on some counts... Sezer, Merrin and Gillett can stay on the list... add Austin the cunt to that list...

Bloody Cartwright. Couldn't hit 40 without a try in 4 games so I sold him, then he gets 73 and 55.
Screw you Merrin sellers, I am the real victim here!

Would people say Merrin has bottomed out, I know it is a week late but he could be a handy pick up if he is indeed back in form.

Eels v Raiders changes:


Warriors v Sea Eagles changes:


Panthers v Cowboys changes:

just got round to watching the warriors vs manly replay. God damn that was shit. Time for Cappy to go. There's a major lack of effort, key players not getting involved enough and you have argurably the best attacking combo in the game between your half and fullback and yet you once again don't give them opportunities to run at the defensive line with pace

That is the definition of chasing last weeks points. A player who has been very inconsistent and underperforming all season, posts one good score and he is declared back in form. I would at least wait a week and see if he doesn't back it up with a 28. He will probably go up to 460kish with a b/e close to his average.

More tongue in cheek comment, but if he goes well next week I may definitely consider him.

Merrin owners should Captain him next week.

Beautiful day here in Cronulla, perfect weather for a Sunday session.
Beers are going down nicely as well, hoping for some open running footy and the young sharks backs getting plenty of ball....but gals playing so will settle for a sharks win.

Ps and for Barba to score a metric tonne of fantasy points

Yeah absolutely I would pick him up if he can bag another 50+

Nominees for 2016's Hog of the year (HOTY):

Austin
Jennings
D Walker

Any others? These guys must have destroyed the career  prospects of a few up & coming wingers over the years

Auva'a - massive ball hog, certainly cost Goodwin a meat pie or two Friday night

I know this has been discussed at length, but what numbers should we be aiming for around the 3 major byes rounds of 12/15/18?

Just done a quick run through of my sqaud...

I have
10 for round 12
13 for round 15
11 for round 18

Whats is ideal? Obviously 17, but was is adequate?

I held Merrin but sold Cartwright thinking he was going to bleed cash being injured and not be a leg up to a gun. Sold before the 73 and 55 lol but got Dugan which has meant I havnt had to play Gutherson in the centres for his 24 and 17. 38 at halftime and finishes up on 55 with a try save so effectively got 12 in second half. Will have good and bad games.

Eels play all three...
Tigers, Dragons, Cowboys, Raiders, Bulldogs, Roosters play two...
Broncos, Knights, Rabbits, Storm, Warriors, Titans, Sea Eagles, Panthers, Sharks only play one...

I'm not going for quantity I'm going for quality. Would rather 10-12 guns than 15 players

Was just talking to jack bird and asked him for some offloads and tackle breaks so I could bring him next week. He laughed when I told him he was close to bottoming out price wise haha

I've got 5 for round 12 and 1 of them is Gutherson. Suspect that's not enough! Not too bad off for the rest though so may just take a massive hit and try climb out the other side with some trades up my sleeve.
