You want me to run it for you?

Changed my mind I won't bring in P Kaufusi. Will instead put every effort into fast-tracking that Sironen-Whitehead trade.

I raised this point last night but nobody responded...

Does anybody else think -3 points for a missed tackle is too much? You get -2 for a penalty which could be serious or not. You could just be slowing down the play the ball, or you could stomp on someobdys hand, only lose 2 points. Yet if you miss a tackle you lose -3.

Seems too much?

Is this your first season?

If we all keep shit canning Sironen maybe he will surpass expectations like Elgey yesterday.

well done siro, billy bainbridge has scored more than you in half the time

If Kelly only gets another 5 points i dont know how ill feel, i have him so want cash but subbed him out for Jennings so want to feel better about that lol

That is my starting centre pairing this week.......
Smat back up to CTR and bringing in Aubo will probably be my fix there

I would love Aubusson in my team, but not sure how Taukeiaho goes first.

Well done Sironen, with your less than 0.25 PPM

Sironen usually has a better second half similar to F. Kaufusi and gets a few offloads late in games.

Surely he replaces Matterson or Tetavano in the middle not an edge forward

I would think Tetevano drops off, Matterson has bulked up and looks good off the bench.
They are stacked in the 2RF, even Liu looked like he was playing prop off the bench?

Wow Siro did something

You did get a response Finchy, perhaps you missed it. Missed tackles are only -2, they are -3 on Dream Team but not in fantasy. You got your wires crossed somewhere

Sironen just needs to get that gap as close as possible for the Whithead transfer

We all think that at some point every year. Just move on. It will be best for you.

Somebody find me a facepalm gif and post it. That's me right now.

Thanks Bluetige!!

So Manly aren't getting smashed but Kelly is still scoring horribly. Hastings played for 15 minutes and scored as much. Give him the bloody ball!

Fuck Off Thurston. Fuck you.

He's a lazy bastard that needs trading out of my team (eventually). I'll decide after the next half of the game.

Almost a shame Taupau back next week. Brenton lawrence killing it in the absence of all Manly's other props
