Points per $$ he has performed 'ok' , guess some wanted a 50 out of him

And as I write this he is on 42 pending updates.

He's scored some late points with the game gone tbf

807 pending updates, very happy with that. Rank says 1551

Other then Suli in im not sure on my trades this week

He had a large flurry of points in the last 20 minutes when Manly finally had some attacking ball. Few nice offloads.
About 40 is bang on my expectations.

Dylan Walker also got a few late points in to bring him closer to expectations

He's got more points than ET lol, what exactly are people expecting from him? 6 missed tackles and he still got 42 points, pretty damn good for the price paid

Looking at the overall league, Wafflestomp with a high of 882 pending updates

Looks like he has painted the target to start the year

So while all the talk is about Sironen I am just going to do a quick review on Kaysa Pritchard, considering I chose to run him over Smith.

So overall he looked decent in the hit out. From about the 60 minute mark he started to look gassed, and had hands on hips a few times after that point and struggled to make it back. The bloke is small though, Blake Green was able to push him off when he is tired. He did show tenacity to hold on a few times when pushed away but the combination of him being drained and his size led to some missed tackles. I was going to say he made way more tackles than the 30 his is listed at, however that just jumped up to 35 tackles. It wont surprise me if that jumps up again. Hopefully Brad Arthur continues to play an 80 minute hooker and it is Kaysa Pritchard. Would love to see Kaysa a little heavier to make him more sturdy in attack. However he just needs to pick up his match fitness and could easily continue to tackle his heart out.

Currently 10400, and I'm not even mad considering I was 7000 before that game with only Siro. How re you travelling?

Guth and Norman saved the day for me.

Fingers crossed for some decent updates tonight.

785/17 not too bad considering I gave up JDB to fit SJ in. My pick of Guth at WFB was my best decision all week.
I already said that but after this week I just want to take in all the good I can get

Kaysa is all heart for his size.

Had a running battle with Johnno Fitch on Weapons through the week about him. It was hilarious-Fitchy got so sick of getting proved wrong he dirty deleted the thread

Have to laugh that with all the hive mind research we have on here and some casual reads a lone scout article, fills it with cheapies, JDB and Tedesco and find himself leading the comp.
Probably has all the 'traps' too that overpeformed too.

Anyways early days, now to work out what to do with my team.
With no more Monday games I guess it will be a long wait between final updates tomorrow and Tuesday arvo. At least we might avoid the Monday teams naming the same team list

He is the new age Mick Crocker.

Haha, love the synchronicity starting that close to each other after neck and neck through all of last year.

Doing exactly what i wanted, score betweem 30 to 40 and make money

Exactly this. Anything over 40 from Sironen is money in the bank. No complaints here from his Fantasy output so far.

Sitting just inside the 1000 with Elgey/Lamb halves.
If I add their price and scored together at least it is semi decent, 54 points for 440k (moneyball)

Haha though think lamb is due an update not sure what the plan is for next week there.

Plodder price at 240k that scores 42 is OK for now. Can upgrade when I need to

great start.

$1.38Million spent for a total of 113 points return.

Woods, Mannering and ET were my safe bets to start the season.
