I go back to where I left off on most occasions
when I watch games on delay, I often have the forum synced timewise so I don't get spoilers, but still get to enjoy the banter
For Recaps I skim through the whole thread from start to finish

Probably not said enough, but thanks legend!

No worries, it's probably one of the reasons why I'm doing so well this season, just keeping the finger on the pulse, staying up to date with all the ins and outs, it all helps in making the right informed decisions

Can't wait for the rd 27 blockbuster parra vs tigers

With a crap team value, I need to make some savings in a few positions.  With JMK out injured, I need another hooker, so took a bit of a look.

Cook:  Ironman Cook has played 56 games since start of 2022.  He is priced about 5 points below the three year average but about his '24 average.   Stats say gun for position, but not much upside - especially a concern if bunnies fall away.  

Api: Another ironman has played 57 games since start of 2022.  He is priced at about his 3 year and 1 year average.  Just below gun tier, and not much upside.

Smith:  Smith has played 53 games since start of 2022 (29 as starting hooker). He is priced about 5 points below his 3 year and 1 year average scores.  As starting hooker he is priced 11 points below his 3 year average and 8 points below his 24 average.  Stats say plenty of upside if he starts at hooker.  Risk is Watson taking more minutes than previous share hookers.

Egan:  Injury prone Egan has played 52 games since start of 2022.  He is priced about 6-8 points below his 3 year and 1 year average scores.  As starting hooker he is priced 12 points below his 3 year and 1 year average.  Stats say the highest upside of hookers assessed, with only slightly higher risk of injury.  Also good job security.

I'm leaning to Egan.....

I thought Papenhouse and Faalgo were out this week? Cant find anything on it, am I a week behind in my head?

Was a rumour.
Latest is that Faalogo should be alright

Egan needs 80 minutes. Not getting that with Lussick on the bench currently. Also has HIA risk. Started the season on fire, but all the great plays that he was creating at the start of the season have disappeared from the play book.

I've been looking for 5 bloody days for an option that plays next week. While I'm probably going to take Hands' 27, Cook probably still the play next week, if not, paying up for Mahoney the week after.

Another option I don't mind is Clark if you think he can secure 40-45 minutes a week, but Des certainly has the Robbo effect with his forward pack. Saying that, Clark can plug a whole for the year for 30-40 scorer. But, I'd probably go Cheese over him long term if your not worried about byes. The price is hard to ignore IMO.

Egan is shit, wouldn't waste a trade.

I captained Watson for his score of 98 this week

Let's face it chum, even MattNZ is tanning your hide in the rankings

How dopey must you be to be 6,000 ranks behind me then ? As for Mattnz, I'll fly past him this week or next. Both your teams are shit and you've both used every trade.

Sit down stalker. You're embarrassing yourself.

probably easier to say "egans just not that good"

I clicked on that by mistake. Rookie error.

Thanks wolfking and MattNZ...will consider the "Egan is crap" angle some more....
