Surely TPJ keeps the starting spot when McCullough starts.

He was tonnes better than Thaiday. Glad I started with him

Thaiday looked old & slow. I think Thaiday is better suited for low impact minutes off the bench as I don't think he can handle starting.

Does fantasy have some sort of review system overnight? Always wake up to different scores than the night before

You can switch to supercoach instead, who use fox sports stats.

They have McInnes on 27 tackles (presumably they managed to score the entire match too)

They were watching a different game to me then. I know what I saw. If he doesn’t update by plenty, it’s a rort.

@Milch

What stat centre do SC use? they have Lodge on 40?

Milchcow wrote:

shit, don't tell me that.

Currently coming 1st and 2nd on the Draftstars $20k contest. Hope the last 13 minutes was good to me

Yeah I noticed you were in first and was about to congratulate you on the 2k then realised it says 85% complete. First and second? Why under different names? I’m in 19th.

Milchcow wrote:

Yes, scores are calculated live, then they do a review afterwards. Takes a few hours to update.

Live scores stuck after 66 minutes today though so some good updated coming all round.

So where it says TPJ35, he made a few more runs and offloads that last 13 minutes so really he should end up about 40-45?

If there is late mail that Murray will be starting before the Tigers game on Saturday would Merrin to Murray and Rochow to Arrow be the go? I think yes.

Didn't see the game so NFI how he really went so its a bit of that yeah, though I am also being a little serious. I'm not advocating panic stations, dropping a bloke after 1 week can be the fast road to finishing worse than Welshy. That said, hanging on to a bloke for too long telling yourself if only this that or the other didn't happen, isn't the way to winning either. Just thought maybe people should entertain the thought of what they would do if in 2 weeks time lodge has scored 25, 30, 27?
How many weeks to you give him to "lose the rust"? What's "acceptable" scores?

Kniko, crap, bad pick. Think i might pick up Cronk. round 1 TRADE RAGE!

You may be right, you may be crazy. You may just be the lunatic I looking for.

Had TPJ in my team for a day on Monday but changed when he went back and forth from starting to the bench. Of course not putting him in was the wrong decision, but oh well, plenty more where that came from! I wouldn't be surprised if Bennett keeps him on the bench. He is the perfect impact player. Teams will start to take notice of him and try and limit his offloads too.

Glad I stayed away from Niko and Moose and happy with Isaako on the bench. Lodge's minutes were a surprise and I think he'll get better.

I wouldn't even talk about it yet. If he gets can't hit over 30 after 4 weeks though, he's definitely on the chopping block. Hard to say that cause it's the first game. I think next week even will give a clearer reception.

There has been no indication of Murray starting, but I guess we'll know some more tomorrow at least.

Yeah how good were TPJ's offloads, freak. I'd gone Kennar to Isaako back to Kennar and when Boyd grabbed his groin I was like noooooooooo. Never entertained the idea of Niko.

Team scores on nrl are updated but not the time yet or the fpt

Against the boys? I dunno about that, if the comments on his tackling technique are anything to go by Lolo might be up on the Header image.

I'd be ok with that even as a Lodge owner/Lolo non-owner

Just before he gets a finger in the eye!
