I had Jayne sitting in the hanger as well, he will try now because he wants the spotlight back on him again when origin is on

he also needs to justify someone paying for him in 2018 and beyond, assuming he stays in the NRL.

Article on NRL.com stating that looks like Mann will get the spot according to Mary.

So safe. Merrin, fuck me. Fifita snubbed. And Fergo again!

Hoping CHN has another couple if big price rises in him to make an easy upgrade of Brailey to Macca. Even 1 more may be enough for me

My WFB's are Guth, Slater and RTS so I can't actually trade Hayne in. My reserves are Abbey/Burns which is terrible but forking out 46k to have Hayne on the bench doesn't seem worth it to me.

I'm pulling the pin on my proposed J Brom trade, he has become lazy.Fair enough he had the dislocated thumb but even as he heal he still is underperforming and I can't tell why.

This year he has been performing at 0.67ppm even of late
In 2016 it was 0.88ppm
in 2015 it was 0.82ppm
in 2014 it was 0.90ppm

He has definitely dropped his performance this year and I doubt he will get it back.

Yeah similar for me. I have Slater, RTS, Ponga, Cotric and Turbo in the centres so I don't see it worth it either.

Signing the grub for 950k a year plus a car and a Ninja blender

Tigers are desperate

McGuire to N brown for me this week. EOM

Signing a player that puts in effort. Rare from the tigers.

Meninga did say he would reward the 4 nations squad & just pick from there. As a Fifita owner I hope Merrin is picked over him for origin as well & has a blinder in the test.

Reynolds + Matulino + Cash vs Woods + Moses.

That could work out pretty well for the Tigers tbh.

I think Reynolds will do well with a fresh start. Bit stale at the dogs and Brooks and Reynolds should suit each other imo.

So talking of upgrades what do we all think about Jake Friend as a buy soon? I'm low on cash since I refuse to sell ET (And if he keeps up the big tackle counts why would I) so it'll be a tough ask to go Brailey to Macca anytime soon plus Hunt could be due back.

When Friend plays 80 or close to it he's pretty much assured a 50+. Personally I hope Robbo also reconsiders using a bench hooker after yesterday's game. Sending Paul Carter of all people out with 5 minutes to go with the game on the line was a pretty stupid move.

Agree, I Fifita doesn't get the origin call up for my own selfish needs. Merrin will step up here though I think.

Having Paul Carter in the 17 in the first place is just a joke.

Signing Paul Carter was a joke

So an NPPM of .85!

So if ynitsed elbiserver is going to catch on, I am going to have to prove it works.

Last week I beat the current leader of Fantasy Fanatics, Mr @Zazu Knights by 37 points. I think this is the fist time this has happened this season, so it marks a turning point.

Currently this places the good fellow 640 points ahead with 18 rounds remaining.

Which means, I am actually ahead of schedule of achieving the 35.6 points per round I need to mow him down and claim my birthright as the winner of this competition.

I am calling it now! My chances are good right?
