Jensen looks like a gun if he ever gets the minutes.
Might be good for a cash out though. Play a couple of weeks over the origin period and thenbe gone afterwards with no fear of an AE

Is there a chance Capwell gets a starting spot if Graham/Bird gets the origin call up? Or do you think they have enough cover with Bukuya/Heighington ect that he stays a mr fix it on the bench?

For Cooks specifically it is best as you put it to wait until Round 15 as both Smith and Cooks miss 1 week up until then.
For someone like Jake Friend it is better to do it earlier.
Jakey will be quite cheap by then if he keeps starting from the bench

Friend being a decent pick up relies on Pearce playing origin and Watson going to the halves

Can't remember which Rooster it was, maybe Keary, but he said during a halftime interview that Friend was sick during the week and that was why he came off the bench.
Think he might be starting again next week.

I originally was interested in Smith to Cook in round 12 until I looked at the numbers
Say Farah gets picked for origin and Cook scores 50 in round 12
He then misses round 13 with the byes and plays round 14 for a 40 or so
Smith meanwhile misses round 12 but backs up from origin in 13 for a 50 then back to his regular 65 in round 14. Looking at this Smith is going to outscore Cook until round 15 when it may be the best time to make a move
That's interesting MS.
Regarding Round 13, Mebourne play at 6pm on Friday, less than 48 hours after Origin. So do you think Smith will back up, and if he does back up, how many minutes will he play and how well will he score?

Part 32 of the Fantasy section definitely won't be handed down to the grand children.

I would see them slot in to the 2RF before Capwell however Capwell may get a run at CTR if Bird gets a call up.

Plenty of players have said it's easier to back up 2 days later than 4 or 5 days later. I expect Smith Cronk Slater and Chambers to all back up. Don't know if they would all play 80 unless it was close. 50 was conservative on him playing 65 or so

Want to trade Siro out for either Crichton or Whitehead.
Slighty towards Whitehead as he plays round 13.
Also looking at Niko if he has a reasonable low B/E

I didn't know about it either. I'm a real suck up, apparently. I've given precisely twice as many thumbs up as I have received and have given 16 thumbs down, but I'm sure at least 12 of those have been in protest to people's sauce storage habits.Chucky wrote:

I just had to go and check out mine, how many others did the same?
There's so much to this forum that I haven't yet discovered.

I would assume that there would be a fatigue factor, but it's all guesswork really, isn't it.

Good call planning for 13 aswell
There will be plenty of people that stack Rabbitohs players and get caught out with less than 17 players in round 13 losing some of the ground they just made up

Capewell appears to be next in line for a backline spot. So he'll probably play over origin. And anytime anyone else gets injured in the backs.

Yeah, I saw that too, pretty sure it was Keary. Pretty confident Friend will be back starting next week. Maybe that's a reason for his dodgy minutes the week before too.
Also, how does the reputatiion thing work? I wouldn't have a clue. Upvotes I'm guessing.
868 with Norman to play. He better get at least a 50.
