Thanks.

Do you have capewell? I think he is a good cashout option as he should get good game time over origin, which is what you want

Half the glossary would be taken up by all the various nicknames for that panthers guy

Some of the long term jokes can be lost in different forum time zones. Not a 3rd world problem i know.

Even if TPG becomes a bench player, still worth it imo.

The problem is if JFH starts then CHN will likely drop out of the 17 because I don't think the Panthers would have an edge forward on the bench. Mind you he's a big lump & could handle playing in the middle.

Thanks.

The job security for Simpkins is not better than CHN

Stimson might also have limited job security - especially with Tohu on the way back.

So IMO its pot luck , just have to make a guess and hope

Pick 2

Brailey, lamb, musgrove, cotric. Siro and kaufusi locked in.

Thanks lads.

Twitter says JFH not cleared to play.

CHN - He'll make about $18k just for taking the field, and then roughly $780 on top of that for every point he scores.

Lets assume he doesn't score a try and gets 25 points. That's a $38k price rise. And potentially that will be the end of things, and he might not appear for a while.

Worth a trade?

Worth a trade?

The only way I can get SMAT down into the centres to create a (perceived) solid centre option is by trading out a cheap centre and trading in a cheap 2rf.

For this reason CHN has to be worth the shot, right? As mentioned above the other cheapish options seem no better and cost more.

Brailey and not cotric.

Take your pick Lamb vs Musgrove. I have the same decision and am playing Musgrove. Also playing Jacks over Lamb.

No doubt one of Lamb/Cotric/whoever will put up a 40+ on my NPR to go alongside Abbey

Short term he is clearly worth it.

What happens come round 21 when you need that trade back though?

Long term planning, or that tasty, tasty tulip?

Similar to my scenario.

On milchy's post alone, no - CHNluip is not worth it.
However bringing in CHNulip allows me to upgrade SiMat to BT. That improves my weekly average by about 15 points. (perceived/potential).

That is where the value lies in the trade for me with the added bonus of a potential pay day/bye round player later in the season.

Yeah was thinking of leaving cotric out. Not sold on brailey but he could get another try i guess. I am playing jacks over lamb too at this stage.

No, this is big if true

Spoiler:

Kelly out to Slater is such a tough one. 
A piece of me wants to keep running a cheapie in that spot and milk Kelly and other cows to last drop ,though feel the Slater could score well and his points would be appreciated.
He looks to be heavily involved in everything and looks safe for 30 minimum in a problematic spot.

I don't see Slater as a keeper and perhaps Kelly scores another decent score and has a few more rises in him (BE of .
If Kelly goes up another 50k and Slater 100k, that's 2 trades for a 50k difference really and probably not worth the trade and out (over Kelly)

Perhaps that it answer, Bodene is the solution haha

@milchcow

My kinda humour.

Finally made it back home, jeez I missed the footy. If I learnt 1 thing from being away it is to plan your holidays around the footy season and if your lucky enough to be a Tigers fan like me, then September is available too.

Tried keeping up with the forum by speed reading, sure I had success at that but then I realised I needed good comprehension and memory skills which I don't have, so in the end I missed large chunks of the forum.

Also had problems maintaining my Fantasy team too but not too bad, only missed out about 50 points. Carter Award back after this weekend but its getting booted from this main thread so you'll have to go looking for it if you could be bothered.

So Kromwich to Bodene and will upgrade straight to a keeper at fullback

Sometimes writing it down makes it a bit clearer haha.

*Then Slater scores 60 and Suli 10....

I agree - there are too many TLAs to learn
