In theory he will get ALOT more chances in the attacking zone because nearly everything will go through him as opposed to Splitting with Foran but that also means that defences will key in on Norman more, I think his scoring average will be higher without Foran

Takairangi was actually surprisingly good at 5/8th. Plenty of play went through him and he had a decent boot. Not sure For an out is going to make that much difference to Norman, all in all.

Yep, Taka was great. He kicked heaps early but then Norman took over (which I was sweating on having bought Norman in the week before) for pretty much the rest of the game.

Thinking of making just the one trade next week and then sitting on this team until round 18:

Smith
Graham Surgess
JDB Merrin Mannering
Norman Hastings
Dugan Croker
Munster Barba Mitchell
R: Parcell Fensom Tolman Whitehead

Obviously sweating on the Mannering injury, but feeling confident I can make a good dash up the rankings over the byes. Realistically though, looking at the leaderboard- this season is beyond reach for me. Players ranked in the top 50 are 140 points behind the leader.

Its one game, I can guarantee if Taka is the long term 5/8 then Normans touches are going to increase

Nice looking team!

Mitch Rein updated to 37 which sounds average on paper but fuck me look at how well he scored in 55 minutes taking out all the minuses. 40 tackles, 3 TB's, an offload and 80 metres gained for 59 points in 55 minutes.
However he got -22 points with 6 missed tackles, 2 errors and 3 penalties conceded. He hadn't conceded a single penalty since Round 3 and he hadn't made one error or missed more than 2 tackles since Round 4. Like fuck Rein you could of been my gun POD instead of my flop POD.

And the weekly Paul Carter award goes to you!!!

998. Up 450ish to 208th. They could have given me an extra TB or something.

Any chance the prices will be updated today instead of tomorrow?

Is Brock lamb a must have cash cow?

And is Gordon to Norman too sideways

Lamb is interesting but not sure how I fit him in atm

Prices have updated, trades are available for anyone who wants to get them in two weeks early.

Lamb shear made Muttonson owners feel a little sheepish.

Me and me mate were having a yarn y'day about his stocks before it pelted down, "Wooldn't be surprised if he clipped most other hooves" he reckoned.

Muster cottoned-on to something in the captain's run, 'cos I wagered a fair steak on him getting slaughtered.

I grease we'll have to see at the end of the season wether he tallies up with the rest of the flock.

TRM! Trade Rage Monday!

Is lamb a must have? And which one of Munster or Tedesco? I can afford to go

Taylor - Lamb
Gordon - Munster/Tedesco

Munster is far superior to Teddy

Teddy has an average of 54 with 9 tries and plays for a generally poor team.
Munster has an average of 50 with 3 tries and plays for a generally excellent team.

I know which one id rather have and do have.

Note: Munster has a 3 round average of 64 with 1 try, like having another forward.

Okay I'm done

If Tedesco wasn't injured he is the better fantasy prospect over Munster. Period

Cheers Welshy, just my opinion based on the facts presented so far.

I forgot to add injury prone to that list of teddy cons.

Tedesco is the No.1 fantasy WFB mate, if you want to cherry pick 3 game averages Tedescos at the start of the season was 70 odd. I want both at the seasons end if only 1 could be had it would be Tedesco. 100%

Haha if he wasn't injured id avatar bet you on the next 3 round average? :lol:

I would of snapped you're hand off at that bet! 3 round averages are what make people expect guys like Mau and Gillett to average the same as the uber 2RF guns

Haha yeah 3 round is pretty rough. But 54 v 50. Not much to pick between that.

Wow, Hastings 417K and Parcell 391K! Nice.
