Williams and Nikorima have gone close to 50 against the Titans. SJ and DCE have gone 70+ against them. What can Maloney do? Im interested to find out

Got an inkling bro? I'd wager mid 30's that could have been 60 but for 10+ missed tackles and a few penalties.

Those thinking of buying CHN. I just read a post that was posted 1 hour ago on reddit that CHN was training at ctr & Yeo in the 2fr.

Double figures is definitely on!!

Pretty close to the mark I think. I don't remember ever owning him but it must be frustrating to watch him if he's in your team.

Who would you play. Leaning towards Maloney

You have listed them in the order I would play them.

Every angle he could see through the poor blokes bedroom window.

Thinking of going lodge and Croker out for JFH and Goisk

For years I have said I will never buy him Krump... Like, since I started playing this game. This year I did (and loathe myself for it) and immediately felt dirty. Then he had a big week, I though, "ok, I'll take it" and of course next week, back to the same same! There's a reason we have an award named after the guy FFS, WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN!?!

How convinced are people of Griffin having a big game? Could hold my Griffin to Smith trade til next week,Smiths BE is 53 I believe so if he has another biggie and Griffin stays in the 30s I won't be able to afford it. Just pull the trigger now?

The only guy in my team I'm happy to see the back of is Isaako. Yet I don't have the funds to trade him to anyone worthwhile. Is that a sign of a no trade week

Im not convinced but he is up agaonst his old club with a reasonable chance to play 80 mins. I reckon he'll score 45

I'd probably pull that trigger rather than chase another $10-$15K in cash. Best case, you make a small profit. Worst case, you are double trading next week, or you've missed your trade opportunity all together. I'm more confident of Smith hitting his BE than Griffin (although I think they both should).

Many will argue he is due a try. But then again so is whare. Keeping him in my 21 for now as cover which proved to be useful the last 2 weeks

If cash is tight I'd pull the trigger now.

I mean if Griffin kills it for a few weeks and makes more cash than expected, you still have the better player. in your team.

What is with all the hate from Isaako?? The kid looks really good. I am impressed with how he runs the ball and how safe he is under the high ball. Rumours of Jimmy and Birdy swapping sides might help his prospect. He is also next in line for the FB once Boyd hurts himself. I will keep him in my team unless his scores drop down to the tens. He is currently averaging more than inglis, with no tries (27.3). I think he will score big against Warriors this week.

Cheers pal.

For some reason I'm interested in Terepo, anyone know much about him?
Would probably trade Lodge

Fun Fact: in the last 10 seasons, only the Storm (2012 & 2013) has gone undefeated through the first 6 rounds, and no team has lost all 6.

By that measure, the Sharks (vs Dragons), Broncos (vs Warriors) and Eels all have history on their side for a win this week.
