Poor fella.

I think the Kodi v BHunt situation is very similar to the Ponga v Coote situation for fantasy players. Fantasy players who own Kodi or Ponga or both making cases why they think there's no way they can be moved out of the starting team but unfortunately the coaches will play their premium players. There is a glimmer of hope for Kodi owners because if Macca is out next week then Kodi might be starting hooker especially with McGuire picked for origin.

True, but I think us Niko owners would never expect that he gets the start over a fit Hunt. Also, another difference is Bennet will find a spot in the 17 for Niko.

Only had 3 players play so far, and only another 5 today - makes for a very slow start to the round. Hoping the Storm/Rabbits game is good fantasy wise, as I have 6 players including captain - could be close to half my total round scored in that match

Yeah I've only had 5 play so far. I had no Broncos players & it seems plenty do because my rank fell by about 500 spots. I have 4 today & 8 on Sunday.

Where on earth are these warrior/dragons updates?!

Had 9 play so far. Gone from 2400 to 800. Maybe my team isn't as copy paste as I thought. Fully expect to drop back to the mid 2000s by end of the day

Yeah me too 251/5 and dropped from 10th to 110th looks like loads of teams ahead of me had Fifi and Lolo which I didn't have.

On another note, I really thought McGuire would step up against the Tigers, I know his score took a bit of a hit filling in at hooker but I expected more.

My plans were to keep him but might look at upgrading him next week, he's had too many scores in the 40's for my liking.

Who to? I have no idea yet.

Sanjay and Ramesh were all like "Friday niggaz, fuck it, letz hit da club"

Will likely be running out this team next week

Graham 50 Tolman 50 Fualau 20 Brown 50
Gallen 55 Whitehead 50 Crichton 45 Surgess 55 Capewell 30
Walker 50 SJ 50 Frawley 30
Talakai 25* Jennings* 20
RTS 40 Cotric 30 Semi 30

Somewhere around 690-730 depending on if Talakai/Jennings play. How does that stack up?

i've gone from 983rd to 3312th on the back of 195 from 4, doesn't help that every big gun i don't have has performed to or better than expectation.

Brailey 40
Graham 50, Brown 50
Gallen 55, Mannering 55, Whitehead 50, Surgess 55
SJ 50, Milford 50, Niko 50
Cotric 30, Fui 30
RTS 40

Possibly two more players added after trades.

Roughly around 700 would be awesome

I should have 15 or 17 if R. Jennings & Abbey play which is very unlikely

Friend, Cook
Graham, Brown
Gallen, Surgess, Crichton, Elliott
SJ, Klokstad
Croker, L. Mitchell
C. Walker, RTS, Cotric, (R. Jennings, Abbey)

Already need an auto to get all my scorers into the 17 so gonna have to be very strategic with an attempt at the loophole

My round 12 team (15 Players)

J Friend
J Graham, N Brown, Z Tetevano
P Gallen, A Burgess, A Crichton, E Whitehead
K Nikorima, M Frawley, C Nicoll-Klokstad
M Aubusson, T Fuimaono
R Tuivasa-Sheck, C Walker,

Abbey/R Jennings/Fogerty/I Papalii if named (highly unlikely)

______________________________________________________________________'

Round 13 team (16 players minimum)

J Friend, C Mcinnes
J Graham, N Brown, Z Tetevano
M Taupau, J Taumalolo, J DeBelin
C Munster, M Frawley, C Nicoll-Klokstad
M Aubusson, S Mata'utia
R Tuivasa-Sheck, J Hayne, M Watene-Zelezniak

Abbey/Fogerty/I Papalii if named (highly unlikely)

I won't have a 17 in round 12 so I'll be putting the vc on Surgess & the c on Gallen. I'll have JDB as a npr to swap with Gallen if Surgess goes large.

Since round 13 is equally important this is how my team will look

Smith 60 McInnes 55
Graham 50 Tolman 50 Brown 50
Whitehead 50 JWal 50
Frawley 30 SJ 50
Suli 30 Sione 40
RTS 40 Cotric 30 Hayne 35 Semi 30 MWZ 25

Hampton 20/Tualau 20 as auto gives me somewhere around 750. Should be competitive with a few teams getting caught with less than 17 players

Looking at options for McGuire next week guys, any ideas?

Was thinking Mannering if he's back or maybe wait until rd 13 after Lolo and Vaughan's bye and pick one of them up.

I've got the usual bye friendly forwards as most so I'd be looking at season keepers if I let McGuire go.
