Good plan but it depends who you are downgrading from and who your downgrade target is. I would love a viable rookie cow next week for KBrom so I could do the same but unless Stimson grabs a starting spot I don't think there are any viable options

you have any under performing guns

This means I might have to go mannering to hess then in a few weeks turn Hess sirroren and kaufusi to those players

That is what I was planning but boys pack could be in for a shakeup and some good options come forward so might use some of my chest to bring in Hess potentially. JWH - JBrom R5/6 for ~$90,000 Siro - Manners ~$160,000

We'll wait and see how things turn out but for some discussion and what it's worth, Flanno was discussing Brailey's performance and mentioned the potential was there for him to play 80 last night.

wait on boys team list, hopefully Hoare or Spina make the bench and you can use dpp to get KBrom out for one

Risky strategy with Taumalolo suspended. I'm expecting that Fensom comes straight in to the 17 for Scott

Only Gallen and Fifita but they are both holds. Got all of the mid range cows aswell so no viable downgrade target

I expect Lowe to Lock, Lolo moving up, Hess on the edge and Fensom/Hoare/Spina onto the bench, if they want to keep Lolo in the row/lock it's Hoare coming in I reckon

Fensom has been playing prop in QLD cup

Not much difference between lock and prop but Makes sense chucking Fensom there because Lolo at lock has been devastating there so far

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

Guessing your team is warriors001 (in over 30 leagues as joined all digital passes haha)

I am on
590 with JDB,McInnes and Gutherson to go
You
593 with McInnes,Taylor and Norman to go

That's a tough one given the way scores have been going

Yeah if Hess is starting might go ET for him. Could Gavin cooper move to centre to incorporate Hess? Eg move oneil out one to the wing. Javid Bowen to fullback? Fensom and hoare into team. Then 1 out when lol is back.

Five points difference with JDB v Dugan to decide our H2H

Hahaha, why does that not surprise me! Advantage:Pain I reckon. Duges was great last week but will have to have a blinder to get one up on JDB.

Unless Norman matches JDB and Gutherson has a quiet one I think you got me, and yes ET if you don't score 45+ I will be trade raging you!

If anyone is interested in reading the DT article about Tim Simona written by Buzz Rothfield and can't view it, then read the first 3 of 5 parts here: Simona interview by Buzz

525 with Captain Jack, Norman and ET. Turbo saving the round for me although a good score from Jack still required. I clawed back 14000 of the 26000 places lost earlier. Please, please can Ted have a quiet one?

My first thoughts are DWalker -> Ponga if named. Walker was probably unlucky to have all the traffic down his side when Green was in the bin, and you would think his gk isn't that bad every week, but it seems all the cheapies this year can score just as well and it will give me the funds to get Whitehead and Mannering when they bottom out. It also restores my dpp flexibility.

TLT will be interesting. Any chance Crichton starts?

Tough call, nothing to say if he does indeed start that he plays 80. But, the fact he is on Suli's side, then yeah, would take him over Suli.

White Lightning wrote:Currently on 553 with JDB (c), ET & Gutherson to play. I should score over 700 if all 3 do well.

My 4 major problems are Field, Talakai, Hayne & Phythian.
I'm glad I sold Gallen for JDB. If Gallen hadn't of scored that try he would of scored 30 odd.
I will be replacing Hayne this week. Would love Tedesco but he's out of reach. A. Johnston looked promising but he might be a trap. J. Trbojevic might be the go with the added dpp advantage.

Really struggling with the Gallen decision. I am discounting that try and saying he would have scored 47 either way. It was only an 8 point play and they took him off straight after so missed the last 8 minutes to score base stats.

I have Manners as well whose onfield efforts don't seem to be quite translating to what his scores should be.

Johnny B Goode wrote:Gallen's a concern for me but I'd rather go with a 3 strikes and out policy than go trading willy nilly. Seems like I'll be burning through a lot of trades early though as per usual, trying to save a sinking boat with a spoon.  

I can't use Excel at home at the moment, any idea what Gallen's price will be come tomorrow?

Bren wrote:Starting to think Im not cursed, instead I'm just shit at this Fantasy game. FML.

Nah, you're just fully cursed bro!

You consistently finish in the Top 1000/500 with all those injuries every year.

557 with McInnes, Sue, Moses and Gutherson to play

Burgess and Gallen the main concerns, they need to start hitting 50s

And also hoping JDB slows down a little

Captain Fifita was a failure but I am still in the hunt for 700-750 for the week somehow

550 + Tedesco, ET, Suli and McInnes

Hayne to Robert Jennings the trade every man and his dog will be making?
