I'll happily accept a job with a megaphone out the front of your office, telling those useless pelicans you employ to abuse a keyboard, how many things they got wrong today.

I saw you mention you were packing up a couple of weeks ago but assumed you meant for another jaunt like last year.

Also he's not the best defender at the best of times & up against the monster Dragons pack he could miss a few tackles. I'm tempted to play L. Croker in my halves instead of Carty & putting Carty on the bench or even the emergencies. L. Croker would of gained great confidence from the Eels game & as they say in fantasy epl "form over fixtures."

I think teams will learn how to stop him. He keeps passing just before the ref calls held, while standing in the tackle, not like he is rampaging and passing in a single motion like Kikau did week 1. Every team will quickly learn to wrap his arms up or play at the ball when he tries to offload to force a knock on.

Nope, leaving the UK in about a fortnights time. Doing a long holiday around the EU/UK/maybe Asia and then aiming to be back in Aus Nov/Dec if money lasts. Not sure how my fantasy team will go, might be amazing for it. Should at the very least help get through whats looking like a long Raiders season

Havili and Godinet are tying up space on your bench that could be used for money making.

Not sure were your dislike for Havili is coming from.
Increased by $64so far. Last week when replaced at hooker moved to 2RF. Plenty of money to be made here if you already have him in your team.

Just on this, not sure if I imagined it, but the Broncs looked like they did a good job of stopping Lolo.

I'm not saying that based on his Fantasy score as I wasn't watching the scores.  Just watching the game itself.  He had some great runs and snuck his nose out of the line a few times, but wasn't as damaging as usual.

Whether that was him having an off night or the Broncs doing a job on him I don't know, but they did go low on him a lot from memory.
