I've been watching him pretty closely tonight. D looks good, has hit Tolo a number of times.

Is gonna rack up attacking stats every game he plays by the looks.

Certainly looking that way. Good to see him used for 80 mins tonight. I don't think I can use Thurston any more after that. Only 1 good score in 4 games..........

Kikau may find his was into my starting lineup in future, your certainly fav to get the chocolates after JT's performance.

JT, Carty, Williams & Croker in the halves a major concern for my side.

Looks like more than half of our league owns Thurston! Anyone keeping him after last night? I only watched until half time last night, then listened to the rest on the radio, but it seems like he's losing attacking points to Morgan, and in part struggling in a NQ team that just hasn't gotten their shit together yet.

In terms of Kikau, 80 min means he starts for me each week. This opens up heaps of opportunities to upgrade, and at this state I think I'll be cashing out Merrin and using that cash to upgrade to Taumalolo and Friend.

Not sure I can carry JT much longer, only brought him in last weekend havent been able to watch either game , is he carrying an injury or just playing poorly?

Thx RnT you answered my question.

If Widdop smashes it

On the radio they said he was limping a bit after attempting his second conversion. Not sure how bad it is though, and he played on.

They also mentioned someone else took a kick to touch instead of him at a penalty, implying it was because of a niggle too.

I'm not sure Morgan is the reason - he has looked awful the last two weeks anyway. Its more the form of the Cowboys - as they go, so does JT. Or really, the other way around.

Will have a close look at other options this weekend, but at this stage he's still a hold for me.

I really want to get Taumalolo into my side after next week, but his scores are not filling me with confidence. Perhaps he just needs NQ to get going to get his scores back on track - he's not getting many attacking stats at all this year.

55 on the face of it looks promising this week, but it came from 72 minutes on the park and a product of several injuries. Until he got the extra minutes he was on track to get something more like 40 points.

Anyone else interested in getting him in a couple weeks time?

Fair enough re Morgan and JT @jelejasof but with only a few key positions separating most of the serious teams, you can't really afford to have JT scoring low like this each week when others typically have two of SJ/DCE/Mbye/Walker/Widdop. I was looking at someone else team the other day and thought wow that looks almost the same as mine, then looked at rankings and we were about 200 places apart.

By the way, looking to next week already as I've determined I still need to generate some more cash, is there anyone in particular people are looking at in the Half and/or C position to make some $?

So far all I've got is JMK

Is any one likely to emerge out of NQ due to the injuries they got last night?

I'll trade Cartwright out of my halves before I ditch Thurston.
JT will probably stay for a while to see if he can get his groove back.

Other trade out option is Nicholls - have to see who is available in FRF for him.
Maybe TPJ if he can get back in the team quickly.

Other than that might, will just wait and see if injuries/team lists throw up any obvious moves.

Woeful round ,677 all done - didnt get to watch many games so I am flying blind as to what went on , not sure if my players were injured or just crap hopefully catching up in the other thread will enlighten me but not sure about caring Smith any longer or JT.

I think i need to get Smith and Cartwright out. Macca and maybe a cashie in

Shocking round... 652 with Rochow left

I think I got 811 this week which I think will keep me from dropping spots. That being said, this week looks to me like a week where the top teams won't score as well, and the lower teams will catch up a bit. Some big scores in our fanatics group, but most of them, at first glance anyway, seem to be coming from teams outside of the top 100.

Finished on 719.. Definitely will drop a few spots I think. Currently ranked 223

See a few fanatics captained TTurbo for massive points. But if he misses a week or 2 the gains may be short lived.

Captain Cam, halves of JT and Croker (subbing for SJ) and no Rochow saw me post 748. NBrown not too crash hot either

Wonder if I have to bring in Rochow for Nicholls, or have I missed the boat

I too am on 811. Not bad all things considered

838. A whopping 8 points from my halves combined.

Scored 948 that's with Cartwright and jmk for 8 points together

Impressed by that MB.
I noticed Bullbender missed a four figure score by 6 points.
Awesome you two.
