Hopefully I can beat my round 1 score of 889.

It's not midnight yet

483 with 8 to play...

I should go past 800 this round...

even so, I think an on par score will be 800+ this round

How does 497 with 6 left including captain compare?

Just move on please.

I think Ponga might get a good update, I think they missed a few tackle busts

It compares very closely to my 489 with 6 left including captain. But if I am your benchmark you are in big trouble

Spectre wrote:I am so over Hess and all these try's

No your not.

That's Bullbender.

Spurs up 4-0 with 25 to play. 4 of the best goals you'll see come out of one game

uates 0? hurt himself in warm up I assume, work had me busy till now

426/9 and thats with abbey's 2, looking like I'll finally break the 800 hymen for the season

ps. anyone got an opinion on hess?, didn't see the game either, 2 tries in 60min for 50 pts? seems like w/ taumalolo back thosee base stats just aren't there

Missed Uate as well in VSDT.

This is my 4th week with Hess, I don't think I'd be bringing him in now with those base stats. There are rare players whose base stats go beyond tackles and metres, it's not a stretch to start counting Hess's tries as base stats I guess.

My opinion on Hess is that owning him is stressful because he only scores well if he scores tries. But he scores a lot of tries. So selling him would also be stressful because as soon as you do he'll get a massive score again.
I am uncomfortable with the whole situation

I got him him a few weeks ago, just trying to work out if he is a true keeper or not. Considering bringing in a definaite final keeper for him with better bye coverage, say gal or maybe turn him into Crichton and get a nice upgrade elsewhere

Is no one else annoyed that Ponga is increasing his price for next season?

Edit: he's has 5 TBs added to his score and is now on 58

Wowsers. TBs really are overvalued.
Hampton is up to 54 which is a nice surprise. I brought him in as a cashout not really expecting him to make much money, but if he keeps that up for a few weeks it would be nice.

Thinking of personally ditching Brailey for Hampton next week and hopefully get a quick cash grab

They missed a few tackle busts when he made that 80 metre linebreak. I knew he was up for an increase!
Glad I put the (r) on him last minute.
Very happy with hamptons score too!!

Same! I'm very happy with hamptons score, everyone kept saying he wasn't going to do well.
Chris Kennedy and all those blokes on that weekly podcast had totally written him off and said not not to buy him, glad I went with my gut tho lol
Hopefully he does well the next couple of weeks!
