Minutes are there gameflow is not. If a must have pops up in his price range he will be first to go but not going to panic trade him at this stage

What do you think he settles at. An average of 30 and around 450k??

I still hold out hopes he will have an average of around 40.

You're an optimist I see

Fantasy is so frustrating got $400,000 in the kitty and Just had my high score of the year, I’m reluctant to let go of Carty because more often than not, if he plays 80 he scores in the 35-40 range even with all his tackling deficiencies! Think I might try and work Macca or Friend into my team this week

Just as a general point. It is worth remembering that players are not going to score above their average every single week. There is no need to trade somebody out after a single poor score.

SST has two poor scores now and one average one.

Friend plays 13 if that helps the decision making process

Hayne aside, feel like I’ve got a good team on paper yet every score posted so far higher than mine and I’m outside the bloody top 3000.

Any thoughts on my main issue or difference to the masses?

Smith Cook Griffin Havili
Tapau Arrow Kikau
Brown Murray RFM Rochow
Cartwright Douehi Croker
Inglis Hayne Hiku
Tedesco Ponga Thompson Kennar

Weak Halves the major difference?
2RF depth issue? I have all DPP at prop to avoid that becoming an issue

Sub 740 this week

I am like you buy worse GM

Can't crack 750, with a fairly similar team. Hayne was a killer, but just got suckered in by the talk of "spending some time at fullback" Guess its really no different to "training the house down" in reality.


Only plus side is after last week's downgrades I have $567k in the bank this week to start bringing in some scorers

Hey guys, how did Matterson's time on the park play out yesterday. Did he stay on the edge the whole game? Pre game there was talk on here he would move into middle forward to allow Aubs to come on and then get 15min rest or so.

I see from the stats he played the full 80 so just wondering how that unfolded. Who did Aubs come on for?

Story of my life the last 3 weeks, only managed to just crack the 750...

Hopefully with Hayne gone this week and a reshuffle of the team I should get 800+ and make up some ground.

anyone considering hess after that performance? Got his starting spot back and looked very explosive

Tedesco one of my premium guns & was my lowest scorer out of my 21 man squad. Lol even Carty outscored him.
Finished on 787.

I think he stayed on his edge the whole time. Not sure who Aubbs came on for.

756 I finished with, down from last week. To crack 800 would be nice. Don't know what exactly is going wrong.

Why is everyone trading merrin out? Thought he played through an injury?

Is Griffin an injury?

Cheers, looks like it was Cordiner (stats show he played 66 min and Aubs 14).

If anyone has some thoughts on my team, I'd love to hear them. I've been focusing on the VSDT comp, but my team on NRLF had a good week so trying to figure out where to next. Team is:

Cook, Havili
Taupau, Lodge, Nicholls
Whitehead, Murray, Griffin, Rochow, RFM, Kikau
Cronk, Townsend, Carty, L Croker
Isaako, Hiku
Ponga, Dufty, Teddy, Thompson

$388 ITB

I'm thinking JMK looks like a good pickup, and perhaps Carty to him for $120k or so?
leaving $500k to upgrade Nicholls?

Who's the best value 50+ scorer right now?
