I looked up earlier from 5th game he had 6 game golden period of 66.67pts avg from 53.8mins avg. If can hit less than that and sustain he's good value still

That's a big if though right cause history says he can't - check out first 4 games last season ave ~42 and then later in the season he had a stretch where he put up 3 out of 7 games in the low 30s and didn't once crack 60.

Like I said, I own the guy, but as soon as you start cherry picking games from a season of games to justify value I think you are asking for trouble.

I agree with the latter part but I feel like after 5 seasons of playing and the first time I went without big name big bopper forwards bar Merrin that they take several games to hit their straps bar the odd try scoring outlier. I think next season I'll start big on gun halves and backs

The pick is fine and you have a gun with DPP which is always handy, set expectations at around 52 and you likely won't be disappointed especially in the tough FR spot.

Some guns who were priced far higher than Taupau are struggling early season JDB and TLolo to name 2

Anyone gonna bring in both JMK and Hastings?

What are ya thoughts on Nicholls > Isaako as the second trade Welshy?

By the way, Merrin makes way for Mbye. Plenty of cover up the top and a bit thin in the halves so made the decision to go sideways there.

Good to know!  That guy never chops and changes his bench before kick off........

Greatest imbecile to ever coach in the NRL. Mr. Redcliffe. Ruined the Bonzos. They were pretty well fucked anyway, but he put them well and truly on the rocky road to destruction. I doubt they’ll ever win again. That’s how good he is. Ruined the choccie soldiers as well. With their junior base, the money from their enormous monstrosity of a league’s club and fat head Gould getting favours from everywhere....how the fuck haven’t they won a premiership recently or even looked like it...my dog Charlie would have delivered a premiership by now. Griffin is a clown. k

Not much issue with it mate, he is heavily owned so if he starts going backwards a lot are in the same boat

He looks the goods and kicking is giving him a decent base but I'm always wary of wingers I'm not sure I would be rushing to get him in if I didn't start with him

AJ for a double this Friday Rabs

AJ done me last week in our matchup last week mate! well done!

@Rabbit what should we be expecting with Doueihi from next week, or whenever Reynolds is fit?

Cheers 1.6% ownership thought he was worth a shot always good for a long range try or two.

Problem is without Isaako I will have to rely on Hiku while Kennar is out. And that scares me a bit with the Warriors draw.

Can you recommend something else?

Why I need clarification of which non-player will be resolved first.... assuming Croker and Kennar don't play, will have 3 of them if I go with these trades. Then pretty much I should get to choose 1 EMG that I don't get the score of and get the other 3 instead. Lots of possibilities with DPPs, including DPP Non Players that can be switched between CTR and FLB

I wouldn't look too much into the draw, Hiku is going well and only scored 1 try, not like all his points have come from 3 lung busting tries with multiple TBs in each, he is playing outside Harris so will get opportunities

Question is do you really need Isaako? Whats your cash flow like? can you get a gun in somewhere if you are worried about playing Hiku? Your other CTR is Aitken right?

Yep. I'm here. Ok. So. Sezer should get bent and pissirf back to Doggies.
Uh. The Sgarks don't need Tolman, cause their troubles are their spine, but they'll take him anyway.
Yeah! Titans are in crisis. Panthers are in crisis. Raiders are in crisis. Bennett is about to run out of spares and have his pants pulled down.
Yes. More drinks. Good.
Huh. No. The warriors are still gonna break their fans hearts, cause they all want tobe All Blacks. And the Rabbits have no thicker either

More drinks!
