550 + Tedesco, ET, Suli and McInnes

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

I think if both Ponga & Abbey are named at f/b one of them would be a better trade than Jennings as they should score better. Someone posted earlier that Jennings would of scored in the 20's without that try.
But I don't want a cheap replacement for Hayne. I'm leaning towards A. Johnston.

I'll be looking at Holmes if I'm trading Hayne but its pending how injured he is (happy to hold for 3-4 weeks). Otherwise I still have the python if I go a cheap back.

Don't trade Dylan Walker mate, hasn't done anything and averaging 33. Just wait until he has a big game mate, be patient. I have him, he's a hold.

With the way Bird played at f/b last night then Holmes may just slot on to the wing.

I agree about holding Hayne, of course depending how long he is out for. We haven't really seen what he can do yet this year, if he can do anything though to be fair. Round 1 Titans got no field position in the first half basically, round 2 he got injured. If people are prepared to buy Wallace off two altered performances, then they should be somewhat inclined to keep Hayne. Really just depends how long he is out for.

Doubt it.

Still trying to figure out how Fifita got 47, he did nothing like he usually does (60+) and updates helped him,if it was any other player he would have been lucky to get 35

Now would be a good time for Slater to jump into the mix.

Agreed but one of the facets of fantasy is picking players who are fanhub favourites & he definitely seems to be one of those players.

him and ryan james together. you look away for one second and their scores go up 10 points. wondering if youre watching the same game.

but tedesco takes the cake. 20 point updates the next day leaves you scratching your head

Seemed to get a lot of his run metres running the ball back from all of the kickoff's. And then there's his tackles most of which were flops. Add in a few tackle busts and a couple of offloads and there you are.

lol On the footy show atm they're are talking about Simona & drugs & Andrew Johns is just sitting there looking awkward & saying nothing.

Good point. Didn't catch the whole game but TLT should help me make that decision. Bird might even be the good option if named at FB as he's available as a CTR and would be a Keeper there if at FB permanently.

Will wait for news on Hayne before any decision and will probably look at the cows (Abbey/Ponga etc.) anyway to free up the War chest for the incoming Whitehead, Mannering, JBrom pickups.

Went Phythian to Burns before the Knights game locked out. Thought RJennings would only be filling in for Hunt for one week.

Typical KFP move. Always trade in the wrong player.

Played Elgey in my 17 (never again!) but captain cam, hess and tommy t going big

Hey Badger, what is your total points score ? Just curious to know the points in different spots, i am ranked 32 but no one left today so expect a significant fall.

How the eff does Gallen only score 47 points including a try! Gah!!!!

I know Surgess posted another sub 50 score but it won't be long until he goes big. He scored 48 but was taken off for the last 15 mins so he would of pushed 60+ if he'd had of stayed on. I think because Souths had control of the game he got an early shower.

He conceded 4 penalties for a start plus he's an old man & the Raiders were absolutely smashing him early on. The game was pretty stop/start & never really flowed fantasy wise especially in the first half.

I did the same thing, you're not alone! You also reminded me that I don't think Talakai was confirmed out until after the Knights game locked out so I couldn't have made the trade anyway so that's somewhat reassuring that there's nothing I could have done
