Nice Avatar Mango, brings back memories.

Think ahead to trades this week and bye cover.

McGuire>Norman via multiple DPP

Leilua 14, Tedesco 37, Croker 31, T-Trbo 33, C. Walker 41.

1 wfb that did very well was Nofoaluma scoring 60. Nofo may even be a better pick than Tedesco & dare I say it a better tackle breaking machine.

Shhhhhhhhhhh

I cant wait to F McGuire off out of my team.

I need to do the same with Suli to upgarde Lamb to Norman. If no cows then which nuffie will you pick, if any.

I'm thinking Renouf Toomaga

a) he's been on the dogs extended bench a few times so may get a run over origin
b) he's CTR/2RF DPP
c) his name is Renouf

Nofo is one of the biggest PODs in the game at the moment, low ownership as most teams have RTS, Slater, Ponga, Cotric, Holmes and Hayne as low cost/high scoring WFB

My plan was to keep Ponga until I see how Coote goes, if his injury keeps flaring up Ponga will be at fb for the season, he'll be a keeper for sure if that happens.

If he's within easy reach of someone like Cody Walker I may even consider trading him as soon as he gets dropped.

Think I'll be doing the same, hopefully Hayne can fill that void efficiently.

What are your thoughts on Ponga playing over origin. Are you planning on keeping or upgrading?

I think I'll keep him the whole season. As long as I have adequate cover for him when he doesn't play.

Ben Hunt could very likely be back in round 10... another one bites the dust

Ben Hunt has begun running. Moving pretty well. Good signs for the Broncos halfback #NRL

Round 10 realistically. He's striding out well doing laps of the field. Huge positive.

I think Green will do everything he can not to use Ponga all year and have Coote out.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'm looking at a certain rooster now that he's back and if he can secure his starting place back, might be a great POD.

Taukeiahoooooooooooo

so all teams not playing tomorrow will release their teamlist as normal. Those playing tomorrow will release theirs on thursday.

Which leaves about a three hour window between getting four team lists on thursday afternoon and the first game lockout on thursday night. Though, unless there are new injuries, there probably isn't too much team news that fantasy coaches are sweating on between the Dragons, Storm, Roosters, and Warriors.

No clue what to do again for the next round. Probably more mistakes!

My main interest atm is if CHN will be playing this week... I'm so glad the Panthers play on Thursday night

The main problem isn't teamlists. For crucial decisions you need to wait for 1 hour before kick off anyway

But lockout won't finish until Wednesday morning, meaning teams will only have a day and a half to get their trades sorted before the next round sorts.

Hope noone else had anything planned for Wednesday night

Keen to see if Ponga is named as well
