Having Tohu Harris from the start of 2015 was one of the best Fantasy decisions I've ever made. I didn't think he'd go to another level this year though. He's become a real strike weapon and I'd say if you disregarded his lower scores at centre then he'd be averaging close to 60.

Will Captain Cam be the 2nd player ever to reach 600k?

Would be nice to have two 600k players in my squad.

The Mole seems to think that Jack Cogger will be playing first grade for Newcastle this arvo because he was pulled from the under 20's.

I always pull out from any under 20's as well.

Yeah apparently Bhana set to replace Pauli Pauli or something. Also says Hodko is out with that Cogger bloke to come in.

I could.......

Assuming Bhana plays who would you reserve him or Grant. Thanks.

Just catching up on the thread. He is still with us mate and gave us some very good oil a few weeks ago.

In 5 games that Bhana has played his minutes were;

1. 34
2. 12
7. 62
8. 40
9. 42

Don't remember what happened to him in round 2 to only get 12 minutes. Must have been hurt. Barring injury, Grant will play anywhere between 40-60 mins. I'd go Grant.

Just with the Try Save dilemma-I think it has to occur in goal. If that is the case then in practice that sucks, eg Thurston's ankle tap last night. But for the sake of the Fantasy game, I guess it takes out the subjectivity.

Thanks for the heads up. Changing my last R from Mataora to Lamb.

Locked in.

IMO, who cares.

Just hope he gets well soon.

I'm a massive Foran fan. And the other person involved I hate. Only reason I care is eventually I'd like to see truth come to surface. So other player can be shunned

Edit: what I've ears is the truth

Just with this mate, there was an issue on Sportal many years ago where they got in a bit of shit from something written in the forums.  Before most of our time, but some of the really old heads might remember.

Also with what we were hearing at the time with Foran, there were 3 theories that I heard at least, so if everyone put there 2 cents in you would think that at east 1 of them was blatantly wrong but written in good faith by the poster.

The Sportal forums were also mentioned again on A Current Affair just a few months ago when an old poster, mmmmmdl, was sacked and (then re-instated) from his Centrelink job for posting derogatory comments about clients.  Within 48 hours the Sportal (SNA now) forums completely disappeared.
