Why was everyone so anti-Hess on here during preseason?

No one was anti-Hess infact he was talked about a lot! But minutes were a concern, proven right R1 because he only played around 30 but he bagged a try so points were good, multiple injuries and another try this weekend forced him to play nearly full game. Possible Lolo suspension and Matt Scott ACL injury means he probably plays a much larger role and at a good price still if he can jag 60-80mins

Cheers Welshy, good to know

So I'm about 590/ 14 captain played (can't get on with mobile at this stage). Have McInnes, Norman and ET to go so hoping to sneak up to 750.

Missed 25 points captaining Fifita instead of Smith (every time I sway from a Smith I get punished). Had Elgey, RTS, Hayne, Moga and Dylan Walker in 17 all hit 25 or under. Saved by Johnson, Smith and Turbo.

Need to sort out a viable 4th reserve. Elgey, Winterstein and Hayne have become my new problems. Will be interesting to see what people do with Hayne. I think I might just bench him and play Cotric but not sure.

Will be watching ET like a hawk today.

I will probably go Talakai - Hess and move SMat into the CTRs. Phythian - Holmes if he gets named

631 with (captain Jack) sparrow and Moses. Would like an 800 but may fall just shy

How much coin do you have? Flush!

$307,000 in the kitty lad, Hess could bank some very good coin and provide gun scores in the interim

Sometimes I see one of my players score and get a little bit angry at why I chose them in the first place.

Then I check other players scores below them and often it feels like that grass wasn't greener after all.

It's almost like having less guns to start with mitigates this feeling as your expectations are lower.

Hey mate, how's our matchup going? Can you let me know what we are both on and players to come?

I agree, anyone with Fifita, Gallen, surgess, mannering, Bromwich etc is feeling the hurt.

To think I could have had McGuire instead of Fifita for 150k less and better scores does your head in. McGuire looking like the premium prop option.

I've got little chance of making up the ground in h2h, but if idris gets the start you'd play him over suli - right?

Hey @SI

Five points difference with JDB v Dugan to decide our H2H

Looks like I'm going a bit better than most on here
642 with ET and Norman to come. Not having McInnes, JDB and Teddy is going to drive me crazy today.
On the trade front KBrom has to go this week or next. Isn't getting the scores I expected. If I don't make the trade this week Kaufusi is definitely replacing him in the 17. Would love Hess or Greenwood named to start so I can jump on one of them. No other options really interest me unless Stimson is named to start

JDB to Gallen before round 1 is looking worse by the day. Atleast Munster finally showed up. had 2x 20 point plays over turned aswell

Meh early days yet. Until his ultimate season average proves otherwise Fifita is still the 2nd best player to have in Fantasy although JDB is certainly looking like taking over that crown.

673 with only Carty and Norman to go. I'll take that this round. Hopefully these two can put on 100 between them.

Happy with the Saifiti to Wallace trade. His minutes did increase due to injuries but I don't mind, it helps his money making abilities. I don't mind Musgrove as a player and 33 for what he did is fine, but hopefully he can get towards the 40's. Thank god I kept Turbo. Was actually looking at getting rid of him.

Ill hold Hayne, at under 200k when he comes back he should go alright (even if he is my 4th WFB by then) I just dont see the value in trading out.

Id love Egely to Lamb but i just dont have the 115k.

I love Hess as a player but not sure about him long term, with Lolo out he may start for 1 week but i cant see them changing Lolo Lowe Cooper long term. I think they replace Scott with a frontrower.
