Warriors wrote:Abbey will be lucky to be there next week he was that bad and if it wasn't for the warriors being so shit and giving the game to the bulldogs then I suspect Morris would be at fullback and another winger brought in. You have to put your body on the line and catch the ball on the full!

BMoz has injury issues and knees aren't up to playing FB, Abbey will get another crack, dropping a guy for one average game is pathetic.

He did get better as game went on and got more involved. Hopefully we won't have to play him in our 17 for those that have him.

Not having Gutherson is killing me softly. Bound to come back after scoring three tries in three games. Have sharks, raiders next few games before scoring another few against the warriors (maybe not if foran back) and tigers.

On a side note, Corey Norman would be pretty pissed off he was rested now.

15,000 people brought Abbey in, so no need to worry much there.
Remember the risk is mitigated if everyone is in the same pink boat too
I think it is sometimes worse if you don't bring in a popular 'cow' and the boat leaves without you and in this game we don't get multiple weeks to watch them before a price rise.

So he was a calculated risk that didn't fire but we might get another chance next week, the dogs won hopefully he gets another crack

Anyways if you do something with the cash from your downgrade to Abbey it is still a win
If you traded out someone injured for a while, Abbey isn't so could have a big game next week

Worst case he bet his BE by 1 so enjoy the price rise

Yeah true and I did hear that about Morris. Just Des is a pretty cranky guy. Marcelo Montoya went well I thought.

Went Python to Abbey who I had to play , not to concerned at the moment, if RTS plays next week all ok.

Would you trade abbey in next week for Idris?

My preseason choice came down to Gutherson Dugan or Munster. I picked very wrong

260/4

Smith (c)
Johnson
Faufusi
Moga

Hess will go well for his price and make money.
Hoare will go well for his price and make money.

They are both good options and it's gonna depend on who you are trading out and how long you need them in your team.

Any updates from last night's plethora of injuries?

Depends on how Idris goes, he is still sitting there for me but only cow he is still cheap.
This time of the year I want to generate cash and if someone isn't playing then they aren't earning.

Given we have a bunch of good players due to bottom out and mid rangers peaking soon, these trades need to happen now (because you never know if you pick up other injuries or problems)

So yeah I can't see it being a terrible trade though there might be other options to look at too.

Abbey was playing fullback, news he might kick and I have seen him play before so based on that I brough him in. 70k goes into my war chest and halfway there turning Kromwich into a gun.

Looked at Hoare too but figured my backs looked light with injuries and with Jacks to share minutes with Slater and didn't want to risk playing Elgey, I went with Abbey.

If Hoare goes alright and gets decent minutes he comes into my team next wee, simples

I predicted that this would happen (don't remember if I posted anything prior) so either I'm some kind of genius or I've been extremely lucky which is part of what this game is all about.

What I'm not happy about is the amount of bad advice been given to coaches here based on nothing but all personal opinion. I'd much rather people here start taking my prediction and advice and flame me afterwards if it doesn't come off. Either way you should listen to what I'm saying.

No, no! I have actually been making some good predicitions with my trades so far this week, everybody should listen to me! No, I am Spartacus!
You are some piece of work.

On another note, I just realised Leota is back in the 17 this week.
One less red dot!

Let's all hit the reset button and be friends.
We are all adults (except maybe Bren. Jury is still out there).

Don't discriminate against me just because my new avatar is fabulous.

Why wouldn't you over someone else's?

Well to be fair, you can't walk around being an asshole to people and then ask them to respect your opinion. It would be a shame because if the guy actually gave good fantasy advice or constructive criticism (I wouldn't have a clue if he does or not, I only ever see him making fun of people for their choices), then he would be a great asset to this forum.

But if he wants to whinge that nobody take his advice which is essentially "Hoare over Hess- just believe me because I am great at this", I am going to call him out every time.

Should I bring Hess in ????

No. If you don't have him already I think you're a bit too late to the party.

I would only bring him in if he became a regular starter and averaged at least 45 points per game after 5 straight games.

Ryan James would have ended on 70 if his brain didn't explode giving away stupid penalties and milking the concussion rule when clearly he wasn't concussed
