Oh god you have to consdier Elgey as a R??!!

Don't have to. Can go Brailey or Yates or Idris. Will probably go Brailey, but distinct possibility he doesn't score great in 50-60 minutes vs Knights while Elgey might, *might*, actually produce against the shambles that it the Warriors defence.

Hold on is Frawley keeping MBye's position long term?

Just being optimistic. Wouldn't be the first time a better player has come through because of an injury.

So I finally bite the bullet and trade out Guerra as a cashout for CHN...and he scores 63



Used some of the cash to also get rid of my other POD Blake Austin for Corey Norman...kept the other 81k

How good would a long term injury to Farah be for a Brailey trade to Cook.

Perfect timing.

Didn't Tohu get three games in the centres and three in the halves last year? That was annoying.

I feel even Lonescout should have some sort of touch on it in his weekly write up

Lonescout used to give updates on how close Tohu was.
But one of his 3 games at centre he was named there on TLT, but shifted to 2nd row come final lists.

Today at Randwick.
Race 6, #15.
Horses name, TULIP.
Everyone needs to get on.
(just remember to check if it gets scratched at the barrier)

Even if he's fit, Cook should be the number 9, no doubt.  It would be a great, easy upgrade next week from Brailey.

Can't decide of 2 out of Brailey, Lamb, Elgey and Cotric.  People talking Elgey up, do we really think he'll actually be able to do something.  Warriors surely stand up this week.  I'm nervous about both Brailey and Lamb also. Wish I put the R on Musgrove.

Is Lamb definitely playing?

If he is, I've got to pick 2 reserves from Yates, Brailey, Jacks and Elgey (or CHN I guess).

I do think Elgey will do well against the warriors

I'm pretty sure Lamb is playing cause Feeny has dropped out of the squad. News is he is expected to play anyway.

I have Jacks in my lineup. Yates is tough, he started last week but got bugger all. Brailey I don't see doing much and I guess Elgey is just one of those real punts that would go either way.

Cook also has the benefit of playing all the major bye rounds. So long as Farah is fit he will be the Blues Hooker.

Burgess gets his second 50+ performance of the year and returns to his average number of metres from last year in the first game Farah doesn't get big minutes. Souths also had their second highest team metres total of the year (After the game vs Roosters). How long till McGuire sees that Farah is detrimental to the team and gives Cook the full time gig

Yates went off for a HIA last week after 20 mins. I suspect he would have got 50 mins otherwise

Quietly pleased I missed out on Loch Hess, now I just hope CHN is a boat I don't regret watching sail away

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Hayne to the Eels...

Aubs didn't get the try saver? Probably not close enough to the line...

didn't it get confirmed by some-one in the fantasy inner circle last year that try-savers are awarded when a player is held up in-goal?

Cheers arsen mate. I've held Blake this week so it's good to know he should pump out 60.

Really? Thought Brown was just messing with Fantasy players. Feel like I should reserve him over Brailey today but who knows.

Sounds about right... I figured that would be the case...
Otherwise it would be a hard one to determine
