Hope not as did Wallace>Brom on idea that Wallace called up for Origin. Not delighted with Brom but hoping he scores better in 15 and 18. If Lolo scores well will be worth it.

Happy with Gallen C considering he was still on bench on 27 quarter way through second half. That he only ended up 9 behind CS9 is astonishing. How much did CS9 score 2nd half? 10?

What if they both get called up.

By the way, all the talk is about how much Cam got in the second half. What about JBrom. Didn't he have 13 after a few minutes. He barely doubled that in the rest of the time he had on the park. He really has lost his fantasy form huh!

261/3 .... waiting for it all to come crashing down today/tomorrow

201/2 - Captain Cam and Gal.

Good start to the round but I'm not going to get carried away yet.

Seriously glad I didn't bring in JBrom. Prop rotation was down meaning he should've picked up his workload and didn't. Not a good sign for owners or those looking to bring him in.

Still gutted I traded Felise Navdid for Ed Sheeran. Hopefully Ed can spend a fair few minutes on the field on Monday night.

10 metres less ran than lowest previous 5 and apparently he ran 60m halfway through 1st half and couldn't even double that. I'm confident of 40s in 15 and 18

Atm reserves are Brown Tolo Surgess Crichton. Jayne over Semi WFB Niko over Guth HLF and Cotric and Suli over Sione

Semi Guth Sione all NPR

Correct choices?

I've noticed lately that CS9 has been saving himself in the 2nd half of games probably to conserve energy with origin in mind.

Hayne over Radradra = yes as easy points v the Warriors & he's back at f/b
K-Nik over Guth = yes as it looks like Guth will be at ctr with Norman looking like playing plus K-Nik up against Souths at home
Cotric or Suli over Sione = this could go either way. I would discount Suli v Roosters. Cotric v Panthers are a good defensive team & he may not get many chances. Sione v Manly will be doing plenty of defense. I would lean towards Sione in this case.

It was only after the game I realised my mistake of not having Jbrom as NPR. Oh well 30pts is what Kaysa+Sione scored last week

This. I vaguely recall Smith hitting 40+ at ht several times and then ambling on for a 60 something

Excellent summary. Thank you. My thoughts as well. I had Sione over Cotric as was going to sell Cotric but 40 TBs in last 5 games is certainly some stat

Yup. I agree. I've noticed this a bit too. Just not getting stuck into as many tackles as in the first half it seems. No stats to back that up though!

Yes the dummy half runs by Cotric where he racks up the tackle breaks is the unknown. I think if you want to play safe go Sione but if you want to take a bit of a risk then go Cotric.

I'm leaving Sione out. I'm concerned about a HIA with Taupau running over him.

What really surprised me fantasy wise was that Finucane only scored 16 points. I think re CS9 I remember after the game against Souths at Perth someone posted that in the 2nd half of that game he was defending wider from the ruck as more of a 2fr. Maybe it's the origin factor or maybe it's the age factor.

Still messing around with my centres/wfb. I need to bench two of:
Cotric, Hayne, RTS or Radradra

Currently have Cotric and Radradra on the outer

If someone is looking for a cash out with good dpp flexibility then Niukore (138k eels 2fr/ctr) could be a goer. The Eels have some injuries such as Moeroa ribs & he could possibly grab a bench spot this week but I would wait until team lists to confirm.

I would agree with that.

wacko reporting that Sipley may of (not confirmed) signed with Manly from next year on a 2 year deal. This guy is a future superstar in the making & moving to a good club like Manly will help him realise that.
