Get rid of the Phyth mate, he ain't coming back anytime soon.

Abbey is the better prospect.

Kind of happy I skipped McGuire, but Hess hasn't played yet. McGuire would still be a keeper though, I wouldn't worry if I had him.

Am I crazy for not using a second trade to get a rookie? I still have Idris, Talakai and Hayne. Kind of want to see what they all do and if any look to hold a spot.

Moga can piss off too if he keeps his place in the team.

Biggest bunch of man babys over there, deadset.

I used to post there a bit but had to quit because the delusions of some of the fans there is just too much to take. its embarassing.

There are a fair few good posters too, sure, but they get buried beneath the idiocy.

I'm in exactly the same boat.  Have bought Abbey in for Python, but just not sold on TRD.  Am thinking of just saving the trade.

So Talakai to Hess and have 50k left over worth pursuing?

Been so torn between who to bring in all honesty never considered this and it looks like the best option out there.

Was going to do exactly the same thing until Carty most likely not playing.

I mean that's what I'll end up doing. If one has a great game you miss the first price rise but you then get a lot more certainty about their ability and potential job security. My team is already fucked with Moga and having to play Elgey, I'll just save the trade I think.

Not worried as a Mcguire owner. That's his floor. Had brain explosion around 30 mins losing 4pts in few seconds. Then didn't come back for over 25 mins I think

What will you be doing instead? Carty to Hess?

Yep. Was going to just go the safe route and spend the money to McGuire, but really want to take a punt on Hess.

May aswell huh, well I've got him in for now. Hope he makes 100k now.

Pretty sure in 2016 Pearce and Cleary were top two halves. Hunt will do well but was on like 10 points until he scored and then started getting lots of kick metres because Brisbane's forwards were getting dominated.

Averages are for amateurs. Overall points and median scores are for real fantasy players

Kaufusi a possible keeper? Looked good out there last night.

So looks as though Hess is going to be on the bench - 50 to 55 minutes is what he will get and this will be his role for the year unless injuries strike. Could still average around 40 in that time.
Fensom will start playing 25-30, then off with Lowe to move into lock until the 55-60 minute mark. Fensom to come back on then and play out the game. Lowe done for the night.

Bolton, Kaufusi, Asiata and 1 of Spina/Hoare/Jenson/Uale to rotate through the FRF.

When Lolo returns I expect Fensom to stay in the side over Spina/Hoare/Jenson/Uale so I think those getting Hoare in are wasting a trade unless an injury happens again.

The holding penalty was a joke. A gift to the Storm.

The irony haha. I bring in McGuire & sack ET & now ET will probably outscore him. All the negative points killed off his score. Hopefully Abbey has a big one.

Not so good for our L51 overal average ...but good for me in our H2H this week

Scoring 40's each week is great for his money making, but it's not keeper territory for a forward.

Not really, I mean we know Pearce aint missing the first 8 rounds this year, nor is Cleary starting from mid season so I'd rather look at previous years averages than total points, no1 really can predict injuries.

Maybe I am missing the sarcasm in this post?

Probably not, but worth holding onto during origin for the good byes.
