Imagine them losing with this lineup..

They're winning easily. 26-0 nearly at the half.

It's not impressive though - that should be the score for a stacked team like that. They need to produce the goods in first grade every week - not just when they feel like it. Feel a bit sorry for the Bulldogs reserves - bit harsh on them having to play all these first graders.

Afternoon gents

Hope everyone is travelling well in fantasyland (and elsewhere).

Sitting on 727 with smith(C),JDB and Barba to come. H2H will be close but feel like I am behind. My opponent still has Harris, James, Parker and Barba to come but his captain (Friend) has already played.

WFB's were disappointing again this weekend. Mansour with 20 something, Gordon 13, Mitchel the shining light on 48. Not sure if the Mansour / Gordon situation is going to get better anytime soon so looking to trigger one of them. Thinking Mansour due to byes.

Has anyone been looking at Nofoaluma ? I haven't seen much of the Tigers this year but his numbers are looking pretty good for a winger. Lowest score of 31 after 8 rounds and owned by less than 1% of all teams. Haven't seen much chat about him though, does he come with caveats ?

Other ideas kicking about were Mansour > Aitken / Mansour > Munster (with cash from Lamb > Taylor trade)

Thoughts ?

So I can ease up on the guilt of selling my favourite player Aubo and seeing him get 54, can someone please just check to see my maths and logic lines up as to why I did it.

I sold him in order to upgrade Flash Gordon to Ben Hunt because I thought he was too much of a liability. I considered making no trades and keeping both of them. If I had I would of played Gordon so his 13 + Aubo's 54 would make 67 points.
I made the trades though and reserved B Law who got 32. So Benny Hunt has to get 35+ points to make the trade worthwhile? I'm worried now

I looked at Nofo and thought he would be a good POD, however went with BJ

Rabbit wrote:Gutherson was a calculated risk in my case. I had other priorities for bye cover and 35 pts would have done me. I'll take the extra 50 though. I got to bring in JDB and now can trade Hymel and Taylor next week for two more R12ers, including another gun.

I'll tell you what will piss you off Bluetige......when Gavet scores 60 today

Haha, if Gavet scores 60 then I'll climb the harbour bridge backwards....and naked. Because your right, I'll be pissed off

Just because for once my helpful info was correct

"JWH $398,000 BE of 45 - will lose money first game back - My gut. Got 22
Jake Trbojevic $464,000 DPP BE 28 Got 53
Dylan Napa $465,000 DPP BE 42 Got 44
Paul Vaughan $367,000 FR BE 34 (who I think would be better then JWH, and cheaper and will make a bit more money) Got 54
Mike Cooper $390,000 BE 37 is starting to heat up too.
Aiden Tolman $379,000 BE 43 is at rock bottom for a once keeper Got 52

I believe all these guys would be a better buy right now than JWH.
If JWH gets back into it and his price drops while his fitness comes back, and over origin with guerra out he may be worth it in a few weeks."

Yes mate, i will give you a nod of approval as i opted for Vaughan in the end.

Regarding JWH, i will watch his next match and decide then. I may now have enough mid-level stuff in the squad now.

Cheers

Yeah all looks good, your theory is fine (fucken flash, useless twat), the Bunt should score over 35 and even in weeks to come you won't need to stress over Aubs or Gordon, the useless twat

So hungover right now.

Was meant to be catching up with ol' Jack Bauer this morning but have barely made it out of bed so far

Still tempted to bring in a nuffie for Gavet so I can get that 85 points but its a short term gain, I think. Not worth it.... Arrgghhh but 85 points!!!

I read your posts, and i genuinely don't know how you enjoy this game of fantasy

Once you have traded and decided, you have to take it and run, be confident. So much regret and focus on 'what if' is never beneficial.

I'd be doing it, 100%

Just pick some nuffie with the slightest upside

Despite owning Hunt, I hope he stinks this week. And Barba gets 100 instead. It is for the greater good
