I always thought Holmes was a little lazy to be honest BUT! That was on the wing and hes always wanted the fullback spot so maybe he lifts on that alone

Disagree with that. Holmes came off his wing a fair bit to take a run

I've decided that my team is sticking, and only 2 spots need to be decided.

Brailey + Fifita / Macca + JWH


Very tough.

By the way I've chucked Smith and Fifita in.

Not happy with Rs

Really want Bodene to not be injured.

Brailey/Fifita. Can't see the love for JWH. He's priced that way because he's riddled with errors. 44 missed tackles for a clubs leading prop isn't a good stat.

Injured for a lot of the season and I reckon roosters are in for a massive year. It's the Brailey-Macca upgrade that's so attractive

Taupau will lose some cash playing in the FR won't he?

You'd think so. He didn't score too well playing there in games last season

Cheers lad.

You Fifita'd me

Just dropped McInnes for Macca and Dropped ET to get Fifita in

Help me out here

Smith, Brailey(r)
JWH, Jbrom, Kuafusi(r), Wallace(r)
Surgess, Kbrom, ET, Yates, Stone, Stimson
Maloney, Norman, Lamb(r), Elgey
Idris, Smat, Kelly, Talakai
Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Cotric, Phytian

Chambers and Mannah for Croker and Kennedy... Oh how i laughed!

When does Croker come back? Round 5?

If Whitehead were to play those 4 rounds in the centres I wonder if they'll change him to DPP.

I mean I agree with what Milchy said that we just want to exploit it. But changing Robbie Rochow and Wallace and they're not even playing in those positons they've been changed to.

It just annoys me they pick and change the rules.

If I was a coach id be naming the most messed up team to help us fantasy coaches haha

Really? Chambers major rebound candidate who has averaged 40 previous 2 years and Mannah who goes 35-40.

Sorry should of elaborated

Got them all but I would be more comfortable starting kelly in my WFB over Cotric/Phython, bringing down SMat from my 2RF and running KBrom over Holmes/French or WFB ~ $320k

1 Week avatar bet Cotric outscores Kelly this week?

You know i wouldn't give up Croker for anything that isn't incredibly in my favour (and i don't care how you spin it, that's not!) I mean there is the bias you have for players in your team and then there is the bias i have for Croker. Worlds apart. You just want the trade so you can have both BJ and Croker and rub my nose in it!

You got me. It would be incredible and I could also imagine the gasp leaving your body everytime you look at my CTR pairing and I'd be like

He should be back sooner is my guess, i believe it was originally predicted at week 3 or 4. However recently he said he wants to be extra sure of it as dislocations have a tendency to reoccur and he doesn't want to rush it. In contrast to that though is the choice of Whitehead out wide. To me that looks like a temporary fix, either because Croker is going better than expected or because Ricky wants someone with better defence for the cowboys and or doesn't want two rookies to debut on the same side (or Turner to debut in NQ heat).


Tl;dr my bet is Whitehead won't play a full 4 rounds out wide.

I count the QLD victory as 1 in my favour. Means i didn't come out SO bad overall
