Blindside, if it's any consolation, the app and website are causing problems for everyone, not just blind people.
And almost everyone played broken jaw Sharks guy, you are not a loner in that regard.

Biggest thanks to your wife for helping out.

I'd like to thank Milchys wife for helping out but that's kinda unrelated.

If I owned him I would be hiding behind the couch during the game telecast. He may be crockered.

I am torn between getting rid of Croker or Havilli for Douehli. Your thoughts?

I think Ricky might work towards getting Havilli more minutes to be honest. Croker is hard to judge but would take Doueihi over him. Hard one mate.

It's a hard one because its sideways. Just hold the trade.

Why aren't we doing Lroker and Jroker? Maybe doesn't roll of the keyboard quite as nicely as Gurgess.

I'll be keeping a close eye on Havili and Lroker this weekend to see who goes if I want Doughy.

With 4 errors and no attacking stats, I guess 25 is Lrokers floor right?

Is it too sideways to trade cartwright for Thompson??
I need to get Ponga in and the only way to do so is if I trade out French. The only way I can get Thompson in is if I trade someone around Carty. This leaves me with 42K ITB to assess Doueihi this week and upgrade Katoa to Doueihi next week?

“I think he’s got a little ‘heartilage’ problem,” was Titans forward Jai Arrow’s unsympathetic evaluation of Taylor’s injury concern. “One game in and he’s already sooking.

“The coaches just rested him. His wellness didn’t pull up too well so they said, ‘We’ll rest you today and get you ready for Friday’s captain’s run.’

“I’m sure he will be all right.”

Arrow might be my new favourite player.

How does looping Hiku/Thompson work?

Team is

13. Katoa

19. Thompson
20. Hiku
21. L Croker

Hiku plays before Thompson. If he scores well, I swap Croker and Thompson so Hiku becomes my AE for Katoa.
Don't like Hiku's score and I leave as is and get Thompson.

Some risk, as I could always stick with 30 from Hiku only to see Thompson score 60 again.
Or I could pass on a 19 from Hiku and get Thompson's 11 instead.

Nice to have the option though

Ah, I see. Smart. Need to have 2 WFBs on the bench as well as Katoa, so probably not an option for many.

I think Arrow played his first game for a new club last week (not sure if it was his first ever game starting either) and he looked strong, wanted to tackle everything and wanted to run the ball whenever he could. I think with a little more confidence and time to gel he will be an elite Prop, SRF, Lock for the titans. I think he has the ability to pump out 45-50+ point games regularly

Because we are maintaining some modicum of respect for the English language

not even joker and loker?

No.

If Douehi isn't brought in this week, I'm worried ARey returns early and there may be no point after all.
I'm also annoyed that I have to play Carty

His plant foot looks a long way from the ball in that photo.

I came to the decision this morning that when I made my team, my gut was telling me not to go with SST. I love him as a player but it just didn't feel right. I know it's only been 1 game but with my trades I'm 98% sure I'm going;

Katoa - Thompson
SST - Kikau

I have Arrow and Lodge starting which I'm pretty confident with both, especially Arrow. I have Mitchell also so, that works out too.

ARey will come back and be out the next week again, dont worry.

Seem like it will work well for you. I'm on the cusp of a SST to Murray trade.

Eh that is Gagai Wolfie.

That's surprising. Aren't Walker and Cook decent kickers?
