I looked at him, but Ballin (and the other hookers lurking) is the big question mark for me, i can't really tell what sorta minutes Killer will get week to week.

Ballin's done for. Guy once played like 150 games in a row but suddenly his body has completely failed him now. McIllwrick has earned the starting spot, the only question with him is how many minutes Liddle will take off him week to week.

It's pretty ridiculous the tackle break scoring this year..........

Feel things have changed massively to where it almost feels like SuperCoach
And if it was a popular trade in or a crowd favourite, then it seems like there is some sort of x2 multiplier added to them

Yeah - half a hand-off whilst you're running across the pitch isn't a tackle break

Lmao vonny ruthless line of questioning on taylor.

Random question but what is Supercoach actually like? Some say it's easycoach because you just pick attacking players but also it might require more strategy since C on Smith every week isn't a valid option. They don't even count run metres or something do they? How useless would that make Taumalolo as a SC scorer

We stopped and rewound it twice before he answered just to build the drama round his answer

They just took 9 points off Hess the pricks haha.

Bloody hell, missed the first half as its kids bedtime. Didn't bother recording it as assumed we'd just get pummelled.

Bet they go and have a shit 2nd half given I'll get to watch it

Until they just took a bunch of points off him

Thing is at 3 points per TB it's huge and has massive impact.
You will see a player let go from a tackle to release him = tackle break
Player scores a try and only 3 players involved = 5 tackle breaks given 
Player runs from one side of the field to other, 13 tackle breaks given while team holds line

This is not to take away from what Rapana did either who has had a monster of a game, more what I am seeing here with Moseby,Hess,Taumalolo. Scorers must have them in their team as they are getting TB points like candy.

I made a team for shits and giggles this year, forgot about it and checked back after round 4 and was ranked in top 200.
Seems like you have way more $$ to stack your team, my backline has Nofo/CWalker/Gutherson/TTrbo/Johnson and still have the usual suspect forwards.

Then you get 3 weeks worth of price rises so you can wait 2 weeks before trading in/out a player.
Fantasy you have to make an early call or they skyrocket as you would know

Anyways some people like this, probably worth discussing in that thread

Hesssssss - try

HESS!!!!

Hess try. Boom.

Yewww Hess

Most of the effect was the way Vonny said it so you'd have to watch it, I couldn't do it justice. Suffice to say Taylor's answer was "The Cowboys have let them have them game" or something like that.

My team 432 with 1 in play, 5 still to play incl (c) yet my WAGS Autofill team has 510 1 in play, 6 still to play.

Going to be some big scores this week, just not mine
