About 65. He didn't start the second half if I recall.

If somehow Murray gets a start tomorrow.

Would Brown > Murray and Hiku > Inglis be a bad idea??

Just saw another report saying morgo strained hip, out of game tonight. Saw another one saying Carney has signed a one year deal??? Our morgo in carney

He had a very nervous start, errors, missed tackles, penalty, and was lacking match fitness, which is understandable for a 22 year old, after 3 years out of NRL. He'll be sweet. None of the forwards really got up to usual levels because of the way the game was so stop start. It was exactly the same in round 1 last year. I remember about 700 being a par score

Quite happy with Isaako accumulating 32.

Niko.. could prove a big mistake.

I'm thinking the same for Lodge. Couple of errors, penalties, and MTs to start off with. Improved over the course.. Stoked almost everyone has him lol

Isaako looks to be the pick of the CTR/WFB for mine. Didn't get much opportunity but showed potential, Plus Boyd looking a little worse for wear.

Niko

Hey mate,

I only watched part of the game, then missed some, and then caught some of the end on the radio, BUT, JDB was my captain so I tried to follow him closely.

So from what I could gather, he had his customary break toward the end of half time, which ran into the start of the second half. AND on the radio they said that after he scored his try he went off. I would think that last break would not be a weekly thing. So I'm guessing his minutes would have been in the high 50s or low 60s and probably about 7 or so minutes short of what he will play most weeks.

hmm.. morgo wasn't cut from the squad reduction last night.. no sign of this with the bookies yet either. (not saying its wrong, just following curiously)

morgo features in their wedesnday afternoon training gallery - https://www.cowboys.com.au/news/2018/03/07/revving-up-for-round-1/

Spot-on re: Lodge I reckon. I also think TPJ will either get plenty of mins form the bench to make bulk cash or end up a starter, difference between him and Thaiday for starting prop is night and day. Isaako looks the goods, hoping he can keep a wing spot if Niko drops back to bench and bird to 5/8th once fit.

Oh yeah, and Niko (getting knee-jerk rage traded next week for sure! )

Honestly, if the NRL are going to continue with Thursday night football, then all Friday's during the footy season need to become part of the weekend..

Foe the guys that play moneyball or any other daily fantasy sports for money. Would having a lot of nrl and nrl fantasy knowledge be enough to transfer across or are ownership percentages or other strategies crucial to consistently making money?

I came "2nd" in the moneyball target comp, but should have paid more attention to the comp rules because I was still 200 points short of actually winning anything

I came 60th in Draftstars and amazingly only had 2 players different to you. TPJ and JDB smashed Graham and TSims

@my tv broke. I love you avatar bro, that 80's Neon vibe is sweet as! Gives me a 'Hotline Miami' vibe (cool video game if you're not familar with it).

Anyone gonna chase the points and aim for TPJ next week?

Its easy enough to transfer over and have a bit of fun, you probably wont make a heap of money if youre just casual but you shouldnt lose money. Last night i entered 1 team in MB and 1 team in DS $30 outlay won $250. Milch took out $2k but id say he did a bit of research. Last season i generally only played DS and would enter 1-2 teams per contest. I think i was up about $800-$1000 without winning a comp. NFL i did a bit better took out 1 first for $3k and the rest were solid cashes.

We used to have a DFS thread, should probably have another one, its a bit more popular now

I normally don't trade round 1 unless there is an injury, long term suspension or significant change in role from the one I expected.

Which option do you like. Cheers.
(a) NAS & T-Trbo or
(b) AFB/Arrow & Tedesco

wolfking wrote:Anyone gonna chase the points and aim for TPJ next week?

Would be stoked if I started with him, but I'd need something more than a 41 to go after him at his price. And that may very well happen. He has huge potential in pure footy terms.

Smith Cook Lichaa Havili
SST Lodge Nicholls
Brown Arrow RFM Rochow
Croft Cartwright Croker
Croker Hiku Kennar
Edwards Ponga Dufty Katoa

We’re actually pretty close MS in squads. I have Taupau so no Lichaa or Edwards but nice pick up with dufty mate. Good looking side that

Would have loved to fit Taupau in with that bench he should have a huge role.

didnt get enough minutes for me but I’m the old school consistent score chaser!
