Allows you to change teams for each round so you can tinker with some trades

This is really handy. I just put the same teams if I couldn't choose who I wanted. Really handy thanks!!!

Who is better reserve option CHN, Jacks, Hampton or Idris?

Jacks if he plays, but CHN if he starts.

Last night I went to bed looking at Ese E's 35 and happy I had reserved Idris over him. This morning I wake up to his 45 and I suddenly have selection regret.
It's only 10 points! Geez I am a fussy motherfucker when it comes to Fantasy, 253/5 and still finding something to whinge about

It looks like I'll be falling quite hard in the rankings this week thanks to Cook, Walker and Lamb all taking huge dumps in my mouth. Although trading Merrin out for Crichton was a good move as he could've got me a 25 anyway, I need the rest of my team to fire.

CHN. Even off the bench, he'll play similar minutes to previous games. He's a gun.

Why are you upset with Lamb? He is a 30-40s player who scored 33. I have him in my team and wasn't expecting anything more than that. He is really just holding that ~300k pricetag steady until you can afford to get in a gun, is he not? Fair call on Cook and Walker though. I sold Brailey for Cook last week >_<

I think a few coaches thought he was a potential keeper early in the year.

Either with captain played or James Roberts in team?

Neither mate,
McCullough 54
McGuire 65
Wallace 60
Crichton 58
Smat 56

Did Lichaa come off with injury or just as a sub for Frawley?

I need to play either Hampton or jacks as my 2nd half this week before upgrading jacks next week.
I feel like Hampton could be the better scorer this week if he moves to hooker but won't know because storm play first

Munster didn't drop out of the 19, so looks like he will play. Jacks may drop to the bench or not play at all. Hampton looks safe to play 80.

Same. Here's hoping Idris goes large.

According to an article on Nrl.com

His third game saw him play 55 minutes off the bench at the expense of Lichaa, who was replaced after 25 minutes and did not get called back on with Mbye moving to dummy half.

Thanks!

Bummer about Frawley's score, he deserved more, I'm sure he'll pick up a few try assists in games to come.

I reversed my Kelly --> Idris trade last night and went Gutherson --> Milford instead

I'm happy that it all worked out with extra $35k cash that I got out of it. The reality is, I can't afford Gutherson to start scoring in the 20s considering his price tag.

Next week I'll be looking to trade out Jacks and Kelly. I think I will keep Brailey for as long as I can. Just need him to score a 50+ to drop his BE.

There was a newspaper article suggesting that Hampton will either switch back into the bench utility role or share minutes with Leary, with Asiata at half

We haven't played THAT poorly. We're just not good enough. Hodkinson looked injured af tonight, got stepped twice for tries.

I'd rather be us and improving than be someone like the Tigers who lack direction.

Yup true, we just lack that bit of class in our roster. The effort is definitely there.
Wardle looked injured too. They stepped right around him for a try as well.

Hey guys, I didn't get to watch much of any of the games las night so I have a quick couple questions:
1) did SMat play the whole game defending on the edge - tackle count is high so just wondered if the Knights rotation sent him into the middle for some time or not?
2) stats show Crichton played 77min, did he just just get spelled at the end or was there some injury concern? Also in footy terms (not fantasy) how did he go?
3) big minutes again for Wallace. Anything unusual to cause that? I noticed a poster or two trading him out this week but his minutes and scores are keeper territory aren't they? Especially with DPP.
Thanks in advance!

I reckon jacks will drop to the bench. He started the game when slater returned and went back to the bench but was needed again when Munster picked up his injury.
