Disagree. I think he's just wasted because that edge he is on isn't working. You only have to look at Whitehead moving from the left to the right,  for a recent example of those edges being the sum greater than the individual. Only takes one weak defender and the whole edge looks like they've never played, or one less threat in attack and the whole side is shut down easily.

anyone think eels were a bit hard done by with maloney not getting 10 in the bin?

Yep. Josh Jackson did the exact same foul and got sent.

exactly, both should of been 10. Game could of been alot different if they made the right call

563 but only have (C) Smith, RTS and F. Kaufusi to come

404/11 with Smith (c), F. Kaufusi, JDB, SJ, Jacks & RTS to play.

Going McGuire over Hess has cost me over the last 2 rounds but if Hess definitely starts again this week, I will buy him.

361/11

If I didn't have Hess I would've pretty much ended my season this weekend, I think.

To come:

Smith (c)
McInnes
Faufusi
Johnson
Tedesco
RTS

I will be happy to break 700 and stoked if I get near 750.

Live ranking has dropped almost outside the top 10,000.

Uate my best back

Hi guys. What of this new Penrith guy Harawera or whatever his name is? Will he be added this week at bottom price with a negative breakeven?

Anyone hear anything more with regards to Mitch Barnetts injury?

Maybe. They added Roberts-Davis in at base price but like the NRL they're probably not consistent. "Ah well y'know if we add him in at base price, everyone will grab him so we'll bring him in at a higher price."
I mean Whitehead wasn't added as a CTR despite being named there for Round 1 which was their supposed rule. We know he's not a CTR but when Wallace was given DPP for starting at Lock in a trial then you know it's kind of like they pick and choose.

I knew I'd regret not trading Hess in. After I told everyone he was a monster At the 60 min mark I had myself rated as a genius. Now my season is just about fucked. Unless KBrom scores 80. Lol.

What will be the average this week, ya reckon?  I'm still a chance for 800, but only 318 points now and ranked 14,000 after starting the weekend 1700th. This live scoring can be depressing.

Waking up and checking Facebook to see all these Hess,Moseby,,TTrbo,Mitchell,Keary teams.

I hope they turn out like Mbye/Milf/Taupau did like last year, though once you have made the money you are sorted. Going to be tough from here on out

All those Fifita/Bromwich/Surgess out for Hess looks pretty good right now

Tough break mate. When you commented last night that you were doing that trade & after Hess went large I thought Rabs did well. I suppose all us non Hess owners will bring him in if he's named to start next week. Hopefully he will be on the bench so I can justify getting McGuire over Hess.

I'm freeing up some cash this week so still might have some cash to go ET to Hess. Yes I may be chasing points but fact is Hess has a much higher ceiling than ET. Those low scores of 30's off the bench will be offset by his massive attacking games.

I'm not chasing Hess's points now. That ship has sailed. He won't be running at Elgey on the line every week. Looked like he was a specialist decoy runner for most of the game. Good defensive teams will work him out.










I hope.

Surely with that form Hess starts next week regardless with big JT coming back

I don't have him, will only buy him if he gets a starting spot

Not on my radar in a sense that I was planning on bringing him in, more so that I wanted to see how he goes in fantasy outside of the Melbourne system. Hard to tell with a lot of forwards in Melbourne as to whether they can be relevant in this game or not. Put a player like that into a less capable side and can he grow/develop.
