Why will Ponga get named ahead of Bowen or GGM. Apparently they're filthy he's leaving and carving up in the 9's means jack

Not really mentioned but tom burgess has been dropped too now?

Seems bizarre. Is madge expecting too much based on one good season?

Not sure why they're filthy on him. Rugby League is a business surely they understand this.

It was their choice to re-sign Coote when they had Ponga on their roster

You would think so hey. I liked musgroves effort last week. Hoping he picks up a few extra mins this week though he didnt look like he had the fitness

What i dont understand from Souths is they are dropping their big middle guys and leaving guys like Tyrell and Clarke in, who while they are all heart are to small and adding nothing to the team. The twins even at 50% are better then both these guys.

They dont need to be filthy with him. Bowen has come in and done a job for the cows a bunch of times now. Theres no reason Ponga should jump ahead of Bowen just because hes fast and has a big step.

Exactly.

4 players I have my team that i thought would be duds are Idris Hayne Python and Elgey but I went with "safety". Python a bit unfair because injury and Elgey and Idris may slow burn but next time I think I'll go with my gut.

I agree but i guess the coach is seeing things we arent? I cant make heads or tails of it to be honest.

Damn it. That was supposed to be a like. Fat fingers and can't reverse

Nah I agree I just don't think that they should be filthy on him that's all.

Got confused by NZ kick off time and was drinking. Missed Elgey to Jacks for free. Same night Suli in 17 and Hayne on bench. I guess Hayne I would've always got. I posted on here over a week ago how Idris looked pathetic on trial and was dropping him. Would've been Kelly. One Fifi draft I made needed to drop Python to 138k.

You would think if ever a game the Burgess twins were needed, it would be up against Manly who are running second rowers all over the bench.

Is it worth downgrading KBrom to Musgrove to free up some cash.

Only have $9k in the bank, and that is probably the only trade that doesn't seem a complete waste.

Just thinking I might need a bit of a war chest in the coming weeks.

The difference between forumites hanging around TLT week 1 and week 2 was huge. This 21 team rollout is a farce for fantasy. I find it hard to believe greenberg doesnt punch out a fantasy team of his own !
