Foran does bugger all kicking. He is Fantasy irrelevant. Will only help Johnson as Hingano does some kicking.

If anything I'm expecting this to help Johnson. Foran doesn't kick much, he isn't going to eat into SJs base stats and we should see a more prolific SJ in attack.

It's part of the reason I started with him this year when I don't usually.

Not sure if this was already discussed, but with Slater starting from the bench and Jacks getting the call up again, who gets subbed out.

Jacks for only half a game? losing cash?

Interesting game for bellyache to run the experiment.

I'm with Warriors on this one. KBrom gets a chance this week, Talakai will become TRD and Pythian to Abbey. Hoping both of them can work their ways to 250k

If it somehow eats into Faufusi's minutes, I will be pissed.

Ha, you wish. In all seriousness though, I'm a sharks fan and I don't want Holmes. At least not without seeing how he goes first.

He won't play half a game, and even if he did he will make money with a BE of -4.

Great for McGuire

With the Broncos bench McGuire will play near 80 mins.

There you go - Slater expected to join the game around the 20min mark.

Benji Mar(c)hall.


Does this mean more regular minutes for Ese'ese?

For who, though?

Most of this weeks red dots and changes haven't affected my team, but what a shit week for fantasy.

I was very close to picking up TPJ at his relatively low price to keep him until after origin, but not much of replacement in Marshall. I can't see this not impacting on Macca. He's not there to rotate out a centre or the halves, and who covers backs these days, so...

Think we might see Jacks play out the game with Munster shifting to centre to accommodate Billy. Less disruption.

Might depend on how the game goes too and it could be a battle.
