Averages give me 936.
Pretty good recovery after starting with Whiteheads 38, Hunts 30 and Surgess's 11.

We must have very similar teams haha

577 with graham, Fifita, M. Cooper, Thurston, J. Reynolds, Cleary and J. Bird to play.

Knights v Warriors changes:


Eels v Titans changes:


Roosters v Storm changes:

I've had 14 play, only 1 captain smith score over 40. seems that every player I've picked has underperformed with the alternatives doing well. Not sure if bad luck or poor planning on my behalf.

(c) on Surgess, and a grand total of 2/10 over 50....

Only positive is trading in Muster (for Wighton).

Hold onto that slither of a silver lining RaT , any team without a wighton is a team that will come back stronger then ever before lol

Do you reckon it'd be worth downgrading Gutherson to another player who will play out the last 2 bye rounds say French or Copley so I can upgrade one of my underperforming players like James Roberts to Euan Aitken?
With Roberts I do think he has the chance to pick up some good attacking games later in the year but Aitken is just killing it damn it. Could also do Latrell for Aitken but since I only have 7 players next week it seems kind of sideways to make 2 trades and have the same amount of players.

Definitely not. If you have Gutherson and he plays 15 and 18, take his score. If you only have 7 players next week, you need all the points you can get, and trading him out to a French or Copley will give you a nightmare AE problem.
Look for another option.
Football gods are real bitches, in that if you trade out Gutherson, then M.Gordon might come down with an injury and Gutherson starts playing fullback, which he has done once and scored 85, then everyone will be trading him in.

I am lucky to logon to Supercoach once a week to look trades/set captain etc

This week, I have Parker, Vunivalu and Michael Gordon in my NPRS, scoring 310 points between them. Also only had 15 players named.

Also, the screen that shows you your current score is different to the screen where you can set your reserves/captain etc. And the screen that allows you to change your current team, shows last week's scores. 

Just a shame fanhub's platform was so buggy, especally when they first launched, as it shits all over SC in terms of usability

Yeah thought so. Just seems weird not to have trades planned for quite a while. Legit my current plan is pretty much just wait out until Round 19 or after to downgrade Gutherson/Mitchell so I can make all the necessary adjustments to upgrade my team to the best 17 I can muster. Just got to hope they don't drop too much cash in the meantime.

Question how much money would Hurrell be likely to drop after this week? I'm guessing not a terrible lot it's just I have 30k in the bank and I'd really like to get rid of C Scott. Hurrell once he hits some form could make some cash and also isn't the worst AE out there on an average day out but don't think I can get him

I calculate him to drop 15-16k

Parcell got a TA for Walkers try. Didnt he just pass him the ball from dummy half?

Well to be fair he couldn't have scored without that.

Full disclosure: I own parcell

They also gave one to Cleary when Peachey went on to beat 4 players and dart backwards and forwards

To be fair though, Peachy made that way harder than I should have been.

Its amazing how the difference between 'it' and 'I' changes the context of the post

Cleary got given the try assist for Peachey but Teddy didn't for Naqaima. No consistency just like the real NRL #fantasyincrisis
