    Hi guys,

    A forum newbie right here. This is my third year of fantasy and third year of following nrl. Was never a fan of the game before but fantasy got me into the sport big time! Was happy last year, I finished 504 for the year so stoked at that for my second year. Things this year started well but have dropped off and keep dropping off, so I wonder if I could get some advice. I'm currently outside the top 5000 and falling. Only managed 780 last week, things just didn't go my way. Here's my current team;

    (C)am (Parcell)
    Fifita, Surgess (Blaw, Evans)
    Lowe, Fensom, Carty (Bhana, Leuluai, Henry)
    SJ, Hastings (Taylor, Feeny)
    Holland, Claw (Fergs, Lolohea)
    Barba, Mitchell, Mansour (Gordon, Gutherson)

    I have 26 trades and $148,000 in the bank. The plan was last week I went Safiti to Lolohea with the intention of playing Lolohea and moving Claw up to the second row to beef it up a bit. Now I think for the first time, I'm at a bit of a loss. So many frustrating players.

    Lowe I had last year and didn't start with him, but he's probably my fav player and picked him up round 2 as things were looking good and things were until, JT and Cooper kissed and made up, shunning Lowe althougher. Hiku obviously doesn't like Mansour and Carty is probably the most frustrating player to watch too along with Fergs who prances around tackles cause he might break a nail.

    I'm thinking a few things. I've been trying to conserve trades and go with a more pick and stick style but that doesn't seem to be working.

    Evans --> JTro
    Mansour --> Munster
    Aim for BHunt somehow
    Aim for Semi from eihter Gordon, Taylor or Fergs and go Evans to either Tolman or MCooper?

    Go for two backs;

    Evans --> Munster
    Taylor --> Semi or BJ

    As you can see, a bit all over. I think I need another decent forward though.

    Any suggestions with anything would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to ongoing discussions too. I know the timing of this post is bad with the squad almost announed hahaha.

    me too, looks like Brown likes him as a player. Am even thinking of trading him back him if there are no obvious cash cows in the team lists. How long is Stockwell out for? Apart from him and Rochow, are there any other injuries affecting the Knights pack?

    Lolohea - Vunivalu
    Taylor - Hunt or Evans - Gun FRF

    Someone mentioned Mataora injured. I'm hoping D. Saifiti gets more minutes.

    Took me a while to work out who Jenko is.
    Never heard him being referred to as that before.

    Reckon the kiwis have a good a shot as any other time we've played Aus. Bookies won't agree though.

    ^ if i was the NZ coach i'd probably start manu mau on one edge and keep taupau on the bench then send him on when aus are looking tired and tell him to go hard.

    Next week: Parcell > Lichaa, Auvaa > Aitken

    B. This week: Mansour > Radradra, Hastings > Hunt
    Next week: Parcell > Lichaa
