That's a pretty mint pedigree. Ferns haven't been the same since

Yes that is correct. Also she likes to throw it around & I don't mean the netball. She has a great appetite & I don't mean for food. She's been around & I don't mean the corner.

Too right they haven't. Casey went alright for a while but she was no Adine!

She had pretty poor taste in men in her younger years and it sounds like she's matured immensely in the last decade. Having a couple of teenagers at a young age would do that to most people, I guess.

Yep.

So the info available is not 100% correct until players have played, as trade ins who are yet to have played will still show last weeks player. eg So right now I see that 27 people in top 1500 have captained whitehead when in actual fact that is likely to actually be taumalolo.

Smith/Gal/Fifita captain numbers are correct as they played last night.

Cool mate! My younger colleagues have tried to explain this to me. They do it too. I struggle to get my head around mechanically what they are actually doing, but at least I got to use the word scraping today and it made sense

Poor taste alright she used to date the ex Warrior Sione Faumuina.

No worries.

I need to test a few things    - could someone in the top 1000 ish, who has changed captain this week (from last week) AND made trades this week, tell me their team name, captain choice for this week, and the trades you made? cheers

SuperNintendoChalmers
Started this week about 1200th, currently 795

According to this story, RTS has "a whopping 1938m with 41 line-breaks to his name already this season"

That would almost put me in first if I could grab those updates.

How can chumps like this even start to think they are in a position to write about something they clearly know nothing about.... Very odd.

Gutherson moving to centre has me spooked. If named, is now the perfect time to trade him to TTrbo? I'm not sure i could wait until round 16 with Manly playing the knights. Was thinking of doing Whitehead to Vaughn this week. Am now thinking I will do the Gutherson -> TTrbo this week and sell a cashie next week to turn Whitehead to Taumalolo instead

Shit all trades even though i'm talking bulk trades. Don't you judge me!

Man-at-arms or 2for1 i call him. One of my fave up n comers.

Guth BE is 21.
Likely to play centre but not confirmed.
Even if he plays centre who says he will score shit.

Turbo BE is 33.
Coming back WAY early from injury.
Potentially will play Origin 3.

Id wait to see what happens this week personally, just my 2 cents.

Ummm the stats. The stats say he will score shit.

Averages 34 (I think) at centre previously. So maybe not BJ-shit but still a bit lower than his WFB/HLF average.
Then again, this was some time ago and he's progressed as a player.

Generally players who go from Halves or Fullback to the centres score poorly in comparison from what I can think of - Hayne, Inglis, Dugan... then again there are probably other players who are the reverse of that rule so what would I know, I'm not a doctor.

Hold out and keep Guth for next week at least.

EDIT: Hooper saying Norman a confirmed starter with Guth to centres and Auva'a out.

What about Mr. Hooper from Sesame street? He taught me how to trust.

Yeah you are right, i need to hold. At least until round 16. Looks like I am deathriding TTrbo tonight!

RIP that guy. Sesame St Hooper was best Hooper... him and Carl.

I got 35 when rounding

In all seriousness though, Guth wasn't goal kicking then. He has an extra 6 points on his average this year because of goals. So to compare his form this year with when he was in the centres, if he was goal kicking back then he'd be at 41 over 5 games at Centre.

He has averaged 35 at fullback with goalkicking this year.
He has averaged 48 at 5/8 with goalkicking this year.
He would have averaged 41 at Centre if goalkicking last year.

Anyone holding him through his fullback games could do worse than see what he offers this round. Mind you I don't have him so easier said then done.

I have Gutherson and I won't be trading him out just yet as there is a fair chance he could play fullback with French moving back to the wing. Plus he is smiling in his NRL Fantasy photo. I only trade out players who are under performing and look grumpy in their photo. Looking at you Lloyd Perrett.

I didn't drop King Guth when the 'experts' on NRL.com said he was an urgent sell when moved to fullback. I got all the way to 12th overall after Round 12 so I think I proved they were fools. I will continue to hold him until I absolutely feel he can no longer add more to my team.
