    I've was tossing between Munster, Lucas, Luai and Watson plus others. Once he moved into the starting side with that bench and no Collins, I think after he was so good to me this year during that Origin period, I have to use the last trade on him.

    The only extra benefit to Lucas was centre cover but probably worth the risk in getting May.

    Watson is probably as good a shout as he'll play lock also when Whyte is off you would think. But Mays's base playing 55-60 minutes is elite.

    How many actually read them though? Plus, he puts them in a spoiler so there's no real harm, you just keep scrolling.

    The activity on here is still well and truly above any other fantasy related page/forum/group that I am involved in.

    The 3 busiest pages I am on are Rogues/Fantasy Talk/Fantasy Talk Without the Trolls. Between them they probably average 2 new posts started a day this week. Around half of those new posts are from the guys running their own pages trying to link back to their respective pages.

    The above pages started slowing down a couple of months ago.

    i like the shitposting more than the fantasy talk. end of year makes shitposting on main thread more acceptable, there's jsut no one around to read it.

    wondering what user aardvark is doing with his time off?!

    I actually printout the gameday preview and despite it being quite jagged and oblique, I use it as toilet paper, heck it's long enough.

    Agreed, no harm at all. Easy to scroll past.

    I'm pretty tempted to go this route too;
    - Averaging 64.4 in games over 40 minutes this year
    - Even if you drop out any games he's scored tries in, he still averages 60 in games over 40 minutes
    - Averaging 67.3 as starting prop

    I'd pull the trigger on May. Koala locks the same game, but Nikora, Iro and Garrick not until Sunday. I'd just throw caution to the wind knowing that May will probably outscore two EMGs combined. I probably would've grabbed May over Hughes if I'd known he was starting and would definitely pivot to him over Ponga et al. Feels like a play to score the most points, which is usually good for H2H too.

    Yeah the previews don’t bother me at all (although I do find the repetitive ‘it’s not fair’ refs/roosters posts a bit tiresome) but I can see how it does grind a few gears for others
