Sua or Rochow as my 4th reserve? The other will be my EMG if Fifita and Murray don't play. And yes I've changed my mind about Rein lol

Well at risk of posting a repost, Lodge is cleared to play this week.

Anyone considering Mitch Rein?

I do love the amount of discussions though and varous trade ideas do make me think of options I haven't even thought of.

If I were high up the rankings I would probably think about, scrutinise and ask opinions on every possible move.
I would be freaking out and trying to get advice on anything I hadn't thought of or hadn't seen.

I don't blame people who are high ranking to be posting questions and asking for advice at all.
I also wouldn't blame them for dispensing advice on how to get there with them!

Wondering about him too. Tossing up between dumping Rochow or NAS for SJ.

Would prefer to keep the 80 min guy, but maybe not if he's carrying injury.

I'll be at the game this weekend, so will be sure to give him a serve if he's on the sidelines or scoring crap.

Anyone waiting for SJ to have a bad score, it should be this week, as I have a tendency to break him.

Although I do like the sound of Tolo against the Titans.

Wolfking's sailing to Hawaii if anyone wants to join him.

Surely the Arrow for SOO talk has stemmed from Brennan saying he thinks he will play SOO. I wouldn’t pick him this year but he definitely wouldn’t be the worst. The dude wants to be involved in everything!

Setting up my loophole for this week, will this work ??

Yeah mate Lodge is cleared and will start.

I’m trading in Rein this week. I traded him for Lichaa so at worse they score the same but Rein would make money

Is there really questions around Hess' form? He's playing a different role this season for the cowboys, but I didn't think he's really dropped in individual form from last year.

A few in the media have suggested it. Its a bit baseless, think they were talking about it last night on NRL360.

Personally I believe he will hold his position. No reason he shouldn't.

@SoylentGreen nothing new at this stage, probably as they said just precaution.

So only People down in the rankings should ask questions? Maybe admin could also introduce a system that tracks rankings and you can't answer questions unless you're in the top 1000 as well.

Ignore it bulldog. Some of the shit getting posted today is COMPLETELY against the tone and direction that makes this place great!

From the DT Supercoach stats analysis:

Dragons vs. Halfbacks | #1 & 30.6

Thinking of buying or captaining Shaun Johnson this week? Well, you may want to skip to the next stat!

SJ comes up against the Dragons - albeit at Mt Smart Stadium - who have been the stingiest team by way of SuperCoach points conceded to halfbacks in the entire NRL. Yep, the Dragons are ranked first, and have only conceded two 80+ point scores to ANY player this season. Here are the halfback scores so far…

Round 1: Kodi Nikorima - 12 points

Round 2: Chad Townsend - 63 points

Round 3: Ash Taylor - 25 points

Round 4: Mitchell Pearce - 37 points

Round 5: Adam Reynolds - 20 points

Round 6: Chad Townsend - 27 points

Quite incredible really, and that’s good for an average of just 30.6PPG conceded to some pretty good SuperCoach halves. Can SJ buck the trend? For the record, I think he can.

*(all scores are Supercoach scores, but you get the picture)

What happened to Kiwi Matt? He was high up in the rankings and was posting all the time. Didn't agree with some of what he posted but he also posted some good stuff too. Is he still around? I presume the lack of posting is an indication his ranking fell away?

By the way, IMO the higher up in the rankings the more reason to post!! Gotta get as much good info as you can to stay there - utilise the forum. Its suckers like me that shouldn't be asking questions cause I'd be wasting everyone's time

Cheers - with Murray likely out, I've ended up without any FRF backup on my bench (all my DPP's are in my 13) and I was wondering if I should play Su'a in the 13/bench Rochow to give me flexibility if he's a late withdrawal (after Su'a has already played).

Interesting although I have no clue what 1 SC point translates to in NRLF - is it about 1:1?

If I have murray in my 13-17 and he doesn't play, do I just get the first person on the EMG?

*not interested In poolhoping.
