Do The Beatles qualify?
Very brave of Prozoneman to give himself that name considering the hate for stats providers on here.

Come on, we aren't that bad  I guess if you feel hard done by on something specific you can alway flick me a message and you may see it fixed

+ 1 to sauce in the fridge. The sensation between hot and cold at the same time when eating something like fish & chips makes it better.

With a hypothetical injury free rest of the season.


I have 12.

I have 10-12, which is surprising, though some are pretty borderline. A few of those need to seriously pick up their game from last week if they want to stay in the team (Mbye, HHunt, Kata, TTrbo, Fifita, etc), and a couple might drop off with impending team changes (Friend, Hastings). And ideally Holland keeps his first grade spot and keep gunning on.

I completely agree with half of what you're saying, but who the hell has tomato sauce on fish and chips? Definitely need the vomit emoticon that someone suggested a while back.

That 1 dislike there is me.. just keep your sauce in the cupboard fuckboy.

Something must be wrong then because I downvoted the post as well. Savage.

Here's one that I know I'm in the minority with.

Sauce on top of the chips or sauce on the side for dipping?

I go cupboard sauce on top.

In all honesty, who knows with Barrett.
It's been a revolving door all season.
Taupau and Trbojevic can both play front row but are in the back row at present.
Myles, Lussick, Lawrence, Starling, Vave, Luke Burgess are all there.
Now Fonua Blake pops up.
It looks like he's impressed as he was rushed into first grade within days of being cleared by the NRL, and he's held his position.
Ultimately, it's a lottery.

lolwut why is Fifita lumped in there? 30's an incredibly crap score by his standards but you're making it sound like he's some inconsistent borderline keeper instead of the best FRF options in Fantasy who happened to have one really quiet week

+1 on both counts

Ha, I'm not considering ever getting rid of him, fear not. It's just a bit of captain resentment for him letting me down last week, I felt he deserved to be included in my list of let-downs.

Sauce in fridge. But GTF away from my chips.

This weeks trades
Walker to Cullen
RTS to Munster

1 keeper, 1 cash out

Sauce on the side if possible, nothing worse then buying a cup of hot chips at an event and having the top ones drenched in sauce and your fingers covered in sauce while trying to get to the ones at the bottom.

Need some help. 11k in bank and Zero trades banked

My team is:
McCullough, Parcell
JTrbo, Graham, JBrom, BLaw
Taupau, Surgess, Mau, Carter, Jaifiti, Benry
Barber, Hastings, Walker, Taylor
Hollandm Croker, Scott, PatMat
RTS, Mitchell, Wighton, Gutherson, Bowen

Due to burning the max amount of trades so far I am, if at all possible trying to trade with BYE rounds in mind to make up some ground.

Was thinking (Option 1) Semi > RTS & Walker > Norman (hoping/thinking both can be season keepers).

Any advice/suggestions? The fact that Walker may play has put a bit of a spanner in the works though.

(Option 2) I could hold off a week on Semi and go RTS to Norman via Baba and downgrade Jaifiti to one of the cash out options being floated, although that would leave me with a bench of Parcel, BLaw, JBrom, and Carter...

I do both. Gross I know.

With all this talk of hot chips and sauce I'd just like to say it's kind of obvious but damn does stadium food suck ass, have only bought food there in circumstances where there was nowhere around to eat beforehand. I was at Leichardt last week and I bought a hot dog, the frankfurt was cold and I bought it pre-game and didn't finish it until half time as it was a chore to eat. Did have a good burger at AAMI Park though once, not $10 good but for game food standards it was good.
Personally I think they should bring back Villi's Pies at games. They now sell Four N Twenties at Allianz and they sure suck compared to Villi's.

I have decided to sell Inglis. Doesn't really matter for who. But here is my dilemna:

I could upgrade Taylor to Hunt (who is going on the rise with a low BE of 35), but that leaves J.Saifiti losing cash.
Alternatively I could upgrade Saifiti to Mannering (but then Hunt will probably be unattainable next week.

So.... does Hunt raise in value more than Saifiti drops?

I think trading RTS to a gun half and moving barba back to wfb is your best option

Just for fellow Ferguson owners this week with Aitken in major doubt Mann will come in & I can see Ferg running right over the top of him.
