Hahahaha,
I just checked the matchups, you sure you aren't part Irish? Coming up against jelejasof whilst fifi is still phoning it in and holmes ends up in the negatives, meanwhile teddy got the shocker out of his system the week before and Slater plays his 300th....Bloody league 2 is rigged!

Did luck out with Holmes falling to shit second week in a row, but he has so much in reserve, squad is littered with Guns

Dufty no KDs or TS?

They gave them to Nightingale.

Surprised they didn't give Dufty the sinbin.

Whitehead with the Red Dot Curse again

Looks like aitken will be a 30s without a try and 40s with a try player.not bad. Gallen looks off it atm, will have to show some form before it's a grab him no matter how cheap

Duft-man looked like a limited option on dragons set backline moves - they were running both halves on one side making either him/2rf/ctr the end receiver. Looks like he's going to need a lot of broken play in games to score well. Was surely the definitive example of a try save in first half

Plenty of kick return tb's into the wind. All dried up 2nd half

Gal will need to hit 100 or thereabouts next week to b/e, so we've a few weeks of price falls there. But Wade will have a few falls coming up too, and I reckon he'll start to look plenty tasty in a fortnight.

Should I feel bad if someone in my H2H league had Gallen as his captain?

Aitken you beauty!!

I tend to giggle a bit when things like that happen

I had a mate captain Sandow a few years ago after a run of good scores. He scored -4 or something that week and I still give the bloke shit about it.

I’m playing someone in draft that has Gallen with the armband

My 2 cents that were definitely not asked for but was forced on you like *insert awkward joke about consent

Fifita: I've been watching him closely these past 2 games. Before the season started, I had a feeling they worked out how to shut him down. If you watch closely, most of the first contact tacklers catch Fifita low cutting him straight down, with the second tackler taking him around the ball. It's exactly what happened in Game 2 and 3 Origin last year.

I think soon they'll employ the same technique on Lolo at some point.

Incorrect. TLolo cannot be stopped!!

Lol didn't say it would work on Lolo haha

Fifi isn't in the same league as Lolo strength wise.

I understand what you mean mind having watched Fifita like a hawk last 2 games,at present that technique might work with the better bigger packs in the NRL, he has just faced some pretty formidable middle defenders playing the Boys and Dragons, who also have the ultra effective tackling machine Cam Innes! I’m confident he will return to the Uber gun soon enough

God no! TLolo is a tree trunk with powerlifting strength, Fifita is more just a giant mass with a big hand off! Not even close

@Welshy yeah I hope it's just because he's playing stronger teams. I did see a lot of the first tacklers were the smaller guys. Hopefully, his crab walking has not been coached out lol
