I dread watching this game having not brought in Munster and splurging my WFB upgrade cash on Tom Turbo despite *knowing* Bellamy was going to do this.

I think this gives a good opportunity to see how munster scores at half in a firmly set starting 13. Any of his previous games have been hampered by injuries / shifts in position.

I wouldn't be bringing him in unless he can score well at half, and he didn't look very comfortable there in pre-season.

My concern is how Belly-ache will use Jacks (i.e. hoping he comes on at half to replace munster - hopefully he doesn't shift munster to the back and spell Billy).

Kbrom is not playing because of the birth (in progress?) of his first child

Pretty sure KBrom has been gun and cow fodder for pretty much everyone. He's omission would have meant something 5 weeks ago. Still keen to see how Stimson goes with increased minutes even though prob doesn't mean much with tohu's return imminent

Those "missed" tackles where he flies in and smashes the opponent but doesn't hold on are fantasy killers. Would have JWH in the front row of my real life team every day of the week but, as an owner, he's a hard watch for fantasy.

Those.

To be fair he has been pretty decent fantasy wise this year, those -10 -12 in MTs and odd error are horrible though

Death riding Faufusi and Slater.... You should be sweet! Would love a hand. These close finishes to head-to-head contests certainly make the end of the weekend more interesting.

L7 is totally where its at!

That was a disappointing game as a Vaughan and JDB owner. Huge minutes for JDB should have meant a huge score, and leaving Vaughan on the bench for so long in a game like that is silliness. Still got a decent score, but what could have been...
Shitty week all round. I will struggle to get to 800.

I'm on board with an SJ death-ride

Definitely not a Faufusi/Slater, that's just disrespecting the fanatics masses!

Have 5 players in this game including captain Cam. It better be a ripper.

I can see Jacks coming on for a forward for 10-15 minutes and playing half while Munster roams all over the park as a spare man like Morgan at Origin.

Sj for 70+ please. Capt Cam, Fkausi, SJ & RTS to add to current 619 score. L7 h2h looks mine as well

Excellent!


SJ =

Joel Edwards named to start again for Tigers if anyone is interested. With CHN named again he isn't on my radar yet but could be an option next week with another solid showing

Yeah. Can't complain...he was underpriced at $330k and we've got what we wanted from him. Plays round 12 then shouldn't be too hard to find cash to upgrade to Vaughan/James/whoever or even make some coin by switching to JBrom if he's back to old self.

Captain Cam, Mannering, Felise, SJ, RTS, Slater in this game. Need a tryfest with Mannering and Smith still somehow making 50 tackles.

Stimson is playing, yay! Maybe he can improve his avg

Joe should make a little bit of cash...

sooooo aubbs mean i cop MCK or whatever Jacks dishes out

Slater and Faufusi in the wagon

I'm going to play Stimson over Kaufusi

YOLO

It's risky but if it comes off great call.
