This year I got knocked out by Wolfking so I proclaim that he will win it this year. He is a wolf & he shall be the king.

House Lightning knows no king but the king in the eliminator whose name is wolf.

TUI'S BACK!

If Tui stays at fullback for the rest of the year which is most likely, or switching into the halves if Leuluai goes down again, at $230k he's a fucking huge bargain.

Piss off, I got stuck with him and his extra time 1 due to other problems in my rabble and then it was too late to dump him due to his plummeting price - now he is my POD mofo's - back away and find your own.

ooooooo, could be an omen.

Eliminator results wont be up for another day or two (due to business and other more important things)

No Bodene still? I don't have him, but a couple of my H2H's this week do...

I was looking at Bodene too possibly.

Him being out week after week is fucking people over just like Munster did.

Idk what's up with Bromwich. I don't think his minutes are down or anything, pretty sure he played a full game in rd 19.

If you've got the trades/cash to spare, then yea Merrin is in good form and probably adds 50-120 points to your end of season tally from here. Your team must be in pretty good nick if Bromwich is the biggest problem.

I've always been a fan of Bromwich and up until a few weeks ago he was hitting over 50 every game easily with a few big ones thrown in there. Just what I want from my FRF. But lately it's gone down the gurgler. I'm pretty sure he played a full game too and I couldn't see where he went "wrong" as such. It's either him, Hunt or Cartwright at this point.

My 17 is otherwise set with Gutherson as 18th man. I just feel like Merrin is the difference between my average mid 900s and scores of 1000 (plus don't pick Gallen and Fifita ad captains on back to back weeks lol)

Hey Fortitude how did you go in eliminator ?

If Bodene's out even for just this one more week I'll have no choice but to trade him. I can't cop another AE for the week while I'm missing out on like 40 extra points. If he's out it'll be a straight swap to Mannering I guess since JDB plays the day before.

I'm thinking about doing a sideways trade of ET to Finucane?  I like him and ET is frustrating to watch.  Waste of a trade with 7 left?  Or burn a trade for a downgrade to get JDB next week?

JDB's minutes must be looking good now with Au Mau out.

There's nothing better than seeing a player you like score well for your Fantasy team. Case in point when my man Aubo got two 65's early in the year. That being said JDB is going to be a high 50's, low 60's scorer presumably with Ah Mau out.

Might go Teddy this week then maybe DeBelin can wait til next week. Will give me one more week to make sure he keeps his minutes.

Looked at Finucane's scores and it definitely is a sideways trade.

ET to Fifita a no brainer right?

If you've got trades up your sleeve, do it!

jstands wrote:ET to Fifita a no brainer right?

You need just enough brain IQ to click the trade button

This is my team with three trades left. Looks really solid on paper and if they stay injury free I can try make a push to gain some kind of respectable ranking

Smith, Friend
Fifita, Graham, Bromwich
Surgess, Mannering, JDB, Finucane
DCE, Pearce, Hunt
Aitken, TTrbo
Munster, Tedesco, Barba

So with Barnett out suspended, I can either trade him out to someone else or use this week to replace Norman (I guess I could do both, but with 4 trades I think conservative is best). Think I'll hang on to Guth one more week before converting him to Teddy (or maybe hold off all together?)
