Pretty happy with that!

Would of beaten everyone in L7 this week, except of course, I vsed the only guy who scored higher than me.

Awesome & ouch Finchy. Hard luck but great score.

Warriors v Dragons changes:


Titans v Storm changes:


Sharks v Broncos changes:

875 after updates, down -151 to 1036th.

Barba on the chopping block, and with Mannering and Surgess both likely out for R10 and possibly through to R12 I guess trading out Mannering is the right move.

I suggest everyone take a week off from annual fantasy!

Surgess not looking good? Bugger.

Is barba a keeper or is he topping out and should be turned into munster?

I would say yes but round 10 the Sharks play the Knights so Barba could match his b/e of 49 & get a good score.

Have made my trades already so I can enjoy the rest of my time off and not have to look at my Fantasy team till 1 hour before kickoff for round 10.

Taylor OUT
Norman IN

Pmat OUT
Lamb IN

With Surgess out Norman will take his place as my 4th reserve.

BEs

I've gone from major cash flow concerns to feeling much more flush in 1 round lol Taylor to Lamb was a risk but I'm glad it paid off. Bateman scoring well. Even Aloiai making money finally. Hymel still to be downgraded. Now if only Origin wasn't just around the corner!

Take away Aitkens -5 and he averages a healthy 44. Close to a keeper in ctr/wfb.

I don't know if Mansour has been coached to get less involved but he sucks at the moment.

So did Lamb play well enough to suggest he will hold that spot in the near future? I didn't get to watch that game and am thinking of downgrading Taylor to him.

Also, any word on how Curtis Scott is going? I hear he was listed to play in the NYC. Did he play? did he come through it OK? Hoping to hold him through the bye rounds to get some extra points.

He went better than I expected both in fantasy and in the actual game. While scores in the 40s aren't going to set the world on fire, even in a handful of rounds he'll make a heap of cash.

I hope.

Why did Shaun Lane only get 21 minutes on the weekend?

Was he injured, play poorly or is that just how it happened?

I thought he was pretty good at the dogs back end of last year. Surprised he couldn't do more, especially given all the Warriors players out

I was deadset on sticking with Gordon through byes but he's an ugly sight in my team. Is he worth keeping? I do need to save trades, and already have HHunt->Aitken pencilled in.

For mine I think not. If you're playing him as a scoring WFB then his average 30's scores are bringing you down and that equates to like what maybe 100 points or so over the 3 bye rounds he plays? A player like Shaun Johnson who only plays one bye round could score near that in one game.
As an NPR he's not much better since the money tied up with him on the bench means you could be using that money elsewhere.

why do people say 'for mine' omg is that even a real thing @@

It's just two words not a Wally Lewis orgasm or "GO YOU GOOD THING" when a QLD'er makes a break, you'll live. It's quicker to type out than 'in my opinion' anyway
