+1 for James

I have surges,jbrom,tolman, whitehead, Mannering, Lowe and ET. In those positions that are notable.

Who should I upgrade to?

Fifita if you aren't worried about origin, otherwise James Graham.

Yeah pretty impressive. He should have played more minutes in the Cowboys loss last weekend I thought! Especially seeing as he had apparently been playing 80 min in reserve grade.

I think he's off now, but more that a pint a minute and Im pretty sure he beat more than 1 tackle the second try he set up.

Nice little bonus points for those of us who have him this week!

Funny enough I was panicking about having to potentially play him this week. Turns out it would have been a great thing to play him. Oh well at least he might make a little cash now

Yeah James is the way to go because I was tossing up between him and Bodene this week. Went with Bodene so James will go 60+

good call

Bloody bodene.

My 2RF have scores of 60, 50, 40

Yeah worked out well.

Hey so I may have made another big rookie mistake. I got so excited about Asiata playing I forgot to take the R off Kaufusi. Does that mean I can't use the (c) loophole? As it stands I have a max of 16 people playing with the 4th reserve spot on Kaufusi. Will I still be able to sub out Surgess for Ma'u and get JBrom as my C and Surgess as my AE?

Keep in mind that was with a try, and people were saying Mannering wouldn't impact him. Although it may have been how the game was.. I don't know, I didn't see it.

I think as it stands no. You'll get Asiata's score as an AE which is pretty good actually.

So - I traded Yeo after seeing him in the CTRs for another week for Lew Brown - unlock some cash for later.
Brown goes horrible - I don't think he even made a breakeven in the teens.
Now Yeo back to lock. FMFL (fuck my fantasy life)

Oh, sorry, I had the R on Asiata as well and he is one of my 16 max that will play this round.

So they way I understand it, because I only have 16 scoring, if I swap out Surgess he will become my AE right?

Grevs made way for James

Looked at fafita and graham but rolling the dice on a POD

Who else went Cleary??

Did you trade in James based on what the forum said, or your gut?

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Who else went Cleary??

Sure did, jut gonna close my eyes for 80 minutes.

Broncos had no ball. Bodene usually makes around 45 tackles a game. He only made 25 in today's game.

70% forum influence

I already have a lot of common players so here's hoping a pod make come in handy down the road.
How ever as I pointed this is largely influenced by the forum.

So who knows how this pans out

Hook showing his disregard for team sheets. Looks like Peachey is playing centre, Yeo left edge and Merrin as lock.
