If the weather is that bad at game time, I might sub Fergo in, but was using Fergo as a backup in case for some reason Holland doesn't play. Whatever I do will be the wrong decision.

Ive got lolo too. Not looking good at this stage

Im going to convince myself that the weather will be a positive for SJ and Lolo. Bring on 10+ TB's each...

Saying that... A wet game is generally good for base stats, unless its a mud bath, then its a bad game across the board...

My team is fucked for round 12.

I'm not really bothering with it. No point sacrificing your season for 1 round.

FWIW: The Warriors + SJ usually tear up the Raiders.

Define fucked?

What numbers are people aiming for? At this stage I 'should' have 12, with trades up to 15. I think ill just go for 14 i think, and save a trade.

More excellent conditions today for SJ to fuck me.  Lolo might as well fuck me too.  Fuck this game.

Excellent conditions for Mannering to get me a 60

Time to sit you down and give you the talk...

KFP is always the voice of reason.

Bodene to get a try today (I just bought him in for Taupau)

Am I the only person who when watching Warriors game calls out his name like a fight announcer?


BODENE THOMPSONNNNN!!

Bodene's lowest score this season is 51. Due for a stinker haha.

I just brought both Mannering and Bodene in for Aubbs and Mataora. 
This try makes me happy

Better then having the voice of Darren Lockyer.

So i use this thing for more than just going to the toilet and a towel rail?

(a) hold
(b) to DCE
(c) to Matterson
(d) to Leilua/Croker
(e) to Harris
(f) to B. Thompson/Mannering
(g) to A. Fifita

Leilua is the only round 12 option so might go him but I'm thinking the weather will probably be bad so I can't see him getting a monster score.  Matterson is appealing cause it leaves me with 344k. I'm also favouring holding to see how this plays out.

Some good options. Unfortunately I can't use any DPPs to bring in anyone other than a half.

Last night I was thinking either Milford, DCE, SJ and would have almost certainly gone milf had it not been for the fact that he doesn't really work in terms of byes for me (perhaps a bad reason, but turns out the outcome was pretty good). I might have considered SJ this week if not for the crappy weather and crappy team he plays for. And DCE I reckon could be good, but I;m not sold on him.

With a Roosters halve I have a pretty good bye schedule planned out at least 2 halves in all the rounds - with that in mind what about Pearce as an option? Is he usually a 50 point guy? If he doesn't play origin as expected, is anyone considering him as an option?

My approach to Round 12 is if I go all out for that one while that's the tricky round for most I can use that to get ahead. I'll probably have about 13 players which isn't a lot but if I wanted to get more I'd probably have to do something stupid like trade Barba or Teddy out for Aitken which isn't too smart. Not entirely unsold on trading Barba out for Aitken though
