I'm with you on this. I don't think it's snobby to have a particular preference on beans, or beans vs pods, or go to certain places where you think the baristas are better, or whatever.

Agree, having preferences (and not wanting something that you don't enjoy) is absolutely not snobby

Righto, fantasy this week. Wishart to Ponga.

Would love Campbell instead but can't afford. Huge ragrets on selling after injury in R16 (admittedly to get a full team and win LoTBs, so maybe should be no ragrets)

Considered Manu and Papy, but Manu definitely misses next week where I already have 2 Roosters, and Papy is not the same tier IMO.

Will have 3 trades left and despite the bye charge, reckon I'm a gun player or two short of a lot of other teams I see. Need Watson to get his shit together

Tago the best of the basement bunch?

I can go Drinky to Ponga in one trade but Ponga has burned me so many times before.

Can someone please talk me out of it and reassure me that Drinky is about to go back to being an elite scorer?

Jake I assume? (altho Izack has fallen)

At 230k, I think it's otherwise only Meyers at Souths or Halasima seems to have a bench spot at Warriors (but won't play R27)

If you can go a little higher there are some other interesting punts for a reliable 20-40 a week

Drinky is about to go back to being an elite scorer.

Sweet. Thanks.

Think I'm sold on;

Garrick - Kiraz
May - Yeo
Shoes - Starling

Gives me this team with 5 trades left;

Cook
Yeo Koala Haas
Soro Fifita
Galvin Cleary
Wighton Iro
Ted Kiraz Drinkwater

Plath JC KPP Starling

Fainu Strange Hands McLean

Solid enough I think. Probably will have to reverse the Kiraz trade though if somehow Fainu scores 70.

Apologies i keep asking re Tuaupiki. With two trades left and him at 450k I'm wondering if I should sell or keep. Hard to gauge for me if he is coming back. Him to Stonestreet allows an upgrade of Walker or say Weekes to anyone.

Classic softcock behaviour

No coffee for me, love the smell, not a fan of the taste.
Do like a good cup of tea

He ain't coming back. CNK is nailed on at fullback unless he gets injured again, and RTS may have cemented himself as the backup with his showing last week. Unlikely he nabs a wing spot either. Also misses round 27.

Hard to see him being relevant even if he were to come back. Don't think we see him in first grade again though truthfully unless another round of injuries.

yeah i'm a tea drinker no sugar i only like coffee with heaps of sugar in it but that's only if i run out of tea.

Still not quite sure what I'm going to do and need to decide tonight with Cotter and Fainu locking out.

Should really just fall back to Cotter to Murray but itching to get Yeo instead.

Would have to be Cotter to Yeo and Fainu to someone $508k or less. Ideally that would be a WFB, only useful option at that price would be Gray but can't do that with it still unclear on Latrell return. Atkinson would be useful enough but same situation with Hynes.

Mitchell been ruled out for another month so it's looking less and less likely he'll return this year. If not, RTS or Turuva for a punt or save the coin and go Tago. I don't think Gray is the worst option though.

If I don't get Ponga and Murray this round, probably won't have the trades later.

If you don't use 2 trades this round why won't you have those trades later?

Sell

Same here. Drink about 5-10 cups of tea a day, and only nice tea. Definitely a tea snob
