Averages get me to 760. I am expecting 720.

4 tries and 26 TBs in 4 games? That will dry up soon enough. Worked out great for those that started with him or traded early, but I wouldn't consider trading him in now. He's set up perfectly for a trade out to a real gun though once he peaks in a couple of weeks and Tauma assists in killing off his scores.

Notice how I didn't even mention the name of the guy I was talking about? Because you already knew.

Cows have Souths next up, look out for Burgers lining him up. Probably the odd cheap shot from the likes of Talakai too.

Also, Uate updated to 38.

Fuck yeah!

This year has been such a lottery. While a lot of it is skill there has been a fair amount of luck with players like Hess, ponga, McCullough etc if you started with them. Skill if traded in, luck if starting with them I say. But remember it has only been 4 rounds, there will be players like BJ, Crocker, rapana, nofu, mansour etc that go on hot streaks and you can still make up the points. Just the cash that Hess has made is a massive leg up for owners.

Elijah Taylor coming off the bench  

Oh my god with no Matt Ballin that means he'll be a bench hooker. Holy shit he is a trade out and a half next week, Webster is madder than Jason Taylor

Oh wait Liddle's playing but still this is awful.

Liddle is on the bench

but why??????

guess we keep an eye on aloia minutes

I don't think a fantasy weekend could get any worse for me.

263/9, Siro and Kelly NPR, and I have E.T.

Where do I find the wildcard button?

Last week with ET for sure.

Could trade him but going to wait since I can't afford anyone else decent from the teams remaining. Hopefully he scores a tackle busting try

@StuDogg101 what about welch he seems to be going alright?

Bodene has a BE of 68. Okay cool I wanted to rid myself of some duds in my team first but hopefully another quiet game on Bodene's behalf to help close the gap for a trade next week.

No need to panic ET might come on after 15 and play out the game to save an interchange compared to him starting, going off and coming back

Maybe but still this is generally my hasty reaction to any worrying news

This was my reaction when ET was a late scratching last week. PANIC TRADE TO HESS! It turned out great!

I could trade Taylor to either Felice Kaufusi or Bodene - would you do it?

ET pullout last week was a blessing. Bought Hess so i had 17 last week, Captained Hess this week, now ET on bench. Tide is slowly turning after horror start with injuries and suspensions
