Hmmm. Im going to guess neither you or him are scientists?

Science is theory, experiments and thesis. Continually debunking each other's findings is part and parcel. Every day occurrence. There was a time when one 'scientist' said the earth was a sphere. He was laughed at by the 'flat earth' scientists. Who was right? Ditto, another was laughed at for his theory on gravity...you'd have heard of him. He was a laughing stock for a while. Who was right?

You're correct though, I'm not a scientist, but 30,000 of them are on record as saying it is a hoax. I a well educated though. I know you aren't a scientist either, so what was the point of your rhetorical question? It's a scam in mine and many other prominent leader's opinions.

Back to fantasy.

Back on to Fantasy has anyone heard an update on Merrin's injury? Thinking of trading him out this week for Fifita. Having a 400k+ player sitting in my NPRs not scoring any points isn't ideal.

Merrin's BE is 62. He may not be valuable enough to trade to Fifi much longer.

Trade the Krispy Kreme King out!

Do you think we'll know about Surgess before the Knights kick off??

Clearly.

Fifita's BE is 64. Could hold the trade for another week however at this stage of the season points are more important.

The quote I quoted is on that link you posted

So, did you read the other 114 tweets on the subject I posted? Like I said.....out of context.

Leftard bashing is too easy

Cleary captain. Shits going to get untidy this round! R's on both Smith and Surgess with a distant Plan B of Frawley and Marsters

Woooooo I love to live dangerously!

Good to see I'm not the only one to Captain Cleary

Locked in. Made the Merrin to Fifita trade just now.

A little bit quirky but I find it slightly amusing that on the NRL Fantasy My Team page it says A.Fifita @WAR.

Fifi is more likely to hit 64 then Merrin is to hit 62, especially if Merrin is eased back.

I imagine that the $ gap between the 2 will get worse after this week.

I'm hoping as a Fifi owner from day 1 he can start hitting 60+ every week from now on.

Everybody bringing him and Cleary in will kill them for sure

Oh you mean the petition that literally anybody can sign without qualification?

One of the signatories, Frank Nuttall, a professor of medicine, said he believed the Earth was becoming warmer, despite his signature.

When there's a petition on medical research, I'll listen to Frank then.

Without even touching on Murdoch press bias here, a number like 30,000 is meaningless without context. 30K of 50K is a significant number of people, but it's a mich smaller percentage of 200,000 people.

This paper specifically examined scientific consensus on climate change and found 90-100% of publishing climate scientists supported the theory of anthropologic climate change

Fifita's last 3 scores vs the Warriors = 74,74, 53. Has only played at Mt Smart twice with scores of 53 and 58. Could potentially be a POD Captain option if he can score another 70+ points.
