Season long keeper mate. If he hadn't of passed the ball and just went himself he would have sliced through and beaten French on his inside and been under the sticks to score. If you add 15+ for that you wouldn't even be considering it. Think about if that's his worst score what's going to happen when he jags a double like you know he can. Sea eagles just came up against a well drilled defensive side that strangled them in the second half, what was it like six repeat sets in a row at one stage. Turbo had hardly any kick returns the whole game, showed what he's capable of at the end. I'm a walker owner too, geez he even scored 37 and did sweet f all. Hold.

This is good to hear - cause I'm struggling after bringing him in late in place of gutho and the rage is building.

He just looked uninterested out there as opposed to gutho who was running about like James Roberts' puppy dog (more speed than oxford street).

Watch everybody reserve Moga and Suli this week and reap their 20s whilst Cotric and Idris score the 50s from the bench. History has shown me to always pick the wrong player, so I refuse to play. Two gun centers for me this season- S.Mat and Latrell

Centre position is crab shoot rookie or not unless you're a BJ or Croker. I spent minimal on my 4 centres because of this and to the point that 80% of cashies this year are WFB/CTR.

My 4 Ctrs are SMat, Tala, Kelly, and Idris. The moment Idris got benched Tala came straight on. SMat = no brainer. Tala was no brainer either as I explained in my Youtube video. I'm gonna hold Idris knowing he's a cashie to come.

Kelly is interesting. Without that 1 play wonder he doesn't score in the 20's. The only reason I question him is because Moga looks STRONG. All centre points are attacking stats generally. Looks like he can Tackle bust the best of him and the real deal this year. Dunno what I'm gonna do.

Has anyone done the calcs on what Suli will cost? He is an easy trade in for Python for me.

Smith Cordner TTurbo mine disappointments this week but none are trades.

Barnett score is great considering he played 64min, and looks like he'll keep that up, and only had 1 attacking stat a TA. I just cant find a spot without overhauling a team that scored over 800

Of those players, I would definitely sacrifice Kromwich.
ET got his 40 in 60 mins and got an early mark because the game was over and he was bleeding from the ears.
Back to 50s from next week IMO.

Taylor over Kromwich every day, problem is there won't be enough $$ in downgrades with Kromwich to do the Moga trade.

Also Kromwich played in heavy rain and with Jomwich out will gain even more responsibility, might even get some more price rises too

All will be known come TLT

Archer wrote: TTrbo scored miserably, which is a bit upsetting when i chose him over Guth. Any reason for it, did he get injured or starved of ball or is it a sign of things to come?

Manly defended for almost all of the second half. No chance for him to get attacking stats. Did well getting the points he did I'd think.

I am still not sold on Wallace...

794 I think ranked around 2,500. No JDB, no teddy.

Top scorers McInnes, Norman, Johnson, Fifita.

Trades likely Prior to Wallace (due to mins not playing ability) and probably Pythian to suli. Will have to give a Talakai a miss.

Lots of 40s scorers. Happy with cash cows of moga, cotric, Kelly, jacks, faufusi, Yates, Frankenstein, leota so will just get rid of Pythian to suli. Not expecting more than 25s but should at least make a quick 80k with that score hopefully.

Most happy I won't be wasting trades in the halves and hookers with smith, McInnes, Norman and SJ. Now for Smith, Fifita to bounce back would be good.

Owners of Lamb & Jacks. I'm thinking of starting Jacks over Lamb. Jacks is a good defender (35 tackles with no misses) & is a running half & plays for a much better team. Lamb missed 5 tackles against the Warriors but with Phythian out could pick up more kick metres.

I'm like you in that I have reservations over his minutes per game but he scored very well after returning from the bench. Don't expect what was it 60mins?? most weeks but I can see him getting at least 50mins and putting out 40 most weeks. I've got all week to decide on either Wallace or Siro as my Saifiti downgrade

Anyone else tempted to ditch CS9 for McInnes and pocket the change?
Played the full 80 and had a fantasy blinder

If they don't update SJ then the scoring is a total farce. He made at least 30m and a TB early on from that slipped pass from Luke and no TB and 4 metres total forever in stats. Couple of other breakaways one where Fusi knocked forward near the end and atm they have him 50m total. Absolutely laughable

He played 70, and looks more likely to go the full 80 then drop down to 60-50. Could be wrong though

I am thinking this as well & upgrading Surgess to JDB. It scares the shit out of me losing CS9 but with news that JDB will play 80 mins & also the fact that I also have Fifita & Gallen means I have 3 captain alternatives.

K throwing this out to the JBrom owners like myself. Which way are you leaning;
1. Bringing in a gun for him like Fifita or JDB
2. Similar price range in Barnett or McGuire
3. Downgrading to a midranger 200-350k player like Frankenstein, matagi, gubb, AFB, ETC
4. Cash Cow

Why is that? He has always had that up through the ranks at the Broncs workhorse look abou him. Will be a base stats machine imo

I'd be inclined to try & get JDB.

looks like he updated to 62, lamb now 42 according to app

Sweet update to lamb. 42 looks about right
