youre not the only one. at 6.1% ownership he is still a pod. the thing holding me back was that i wanted SJ/dce as my combo and didnt want a stepping stone. didnt realise he was a giant ass rock.

still, if you want him in your final 17 you were probably going to pay top dollar for someone else so its not the biggest deal bringing him in late. but at this point i am probabaly going to look at value elsewhere

A good start to the round. 14 more players to do the same

haha so did i, stuck him in my starting WFB. didn't get to see the game until the last 10 mins and was bloody stoked when i opened up the scores and saw he was on 50 odd.

This Griffin news is interesting. I did trade him to Taumalolo, but I might reverse that now. But that still leaves cash burning a whole in my pocket. May actually trade Rochow to Lolo. He's had two scores in the teens and I just get a feeling he's going to slide down in scoring a little. Griffin may not go gangbusters, either but when playing 60 or more mins, his lowest score is 38. Fairly reliable. There is suggestion on Knights forum that Levi is struggling with a back injury which is a tad worrying (aka may be back in a weeks time)..

Matterson. Bloody hell. I think I was one of the first to talk up his credentials well before the season started, yet I still don't have him. Fucker.

one of the most inconsistent decisions each week. they should either do away with it or reduce the points to two and be more liberal with handing them out. 5 points is simply too much

I reckon 6 pts should be awarded for a TS but shared to those involved, up to 3 people. 
1 person saves a try on their own - 6 pts
2 in the try save - 3 pts each
3 in the try save - 2 pts each
4 or more in the try save - only the first 3 involved gets points
if that seems too complicated then get a new job
amen

I'd already made the trade Griffin to Matterson but 5 mins before lockout I read the news re Levi on sc addicts so I reversed the trade. After the game I wished I'd never read the news haha.

I suggest to wait a week on Rochow, lets see how he goes this week. If its another low score, definite trade next week, R13 player or not. No point keeping him for just 1 round if you are going to lose all the cash he has made for 35ish points.

You obviously haven't seen me? id fuck me. Im like a better looking Rev

Poor Rev is coping a hammering the last few days haha

Anywho back to fantasy. I can’t reverse any of my trades because Lichaa played last night and I had him in for Tolo. My other trade was Griffin to Rein but I’d much rather trade out Lodge or NAS If Levi has dropped out. Oh well hopefully pays off and NAS goes big for once..

It feels good when you're expecting 30 odd points from a player and they bust out a 50+ score 
I had my eyes on Matterson when he was at the Eels... I don't know why he didn't get a crack at the top grade earlier, but it's good to see him doing well at the roosters. I picked Koro instead of Matterson a few rounds back. Now it's starting to look like Matterson could be the better pick, especially if Koro gets picked for origin

smart/considered approach is definitely hold the trade and wait and see. but i want to bring in a "gun"! (jury still out on whether LOLO will return to consistent gun scores).

FWIW buzz thinks Fifita and Lewis will both play this week.

I also reversed my Griffin trade. Might take the opportunity to ditch Godinet for Gosie to get the value growing again in my pos 21

Or I could save a trade..... whhhhaaaaaaaatttt

I went Griffin to Tolo but have reversed at the moment. Still want Tolo but will need to do the second trade. Would be Rochow or TPJ. Would have liked to hold both though. Or keep both and get Surgess instead. Tough times haha

Im torn too. Actually feeling Kennar might have more opportunities for points.

Isaako is really good coming out of Broncos red zone. He takes lots of good hit ups and great under the high ball. Suliasu LOVES!!!! to come out of the line to shut down the play so if they throw the cut out ball to Isaako like they did last week he scores every time.

Kennar against Leipana who are firing at the moment >.< doesn't really intrigue me, plus Rennings must have a picture of the coaches dick because they love to attack down his edge.

I have a feeling there might be a NAS feel about him. Start strong but just plod and produce average scores.

If he doesn't beat his BE of 42 tonight he will be #GONE from my team next week!

If Fifi plays I’ll be over the moon!

Sucks!

I swear too much information can be a curse! I was so keen to punt Cronk this week, had Cronk to SJ. Which had to be reversed. Went Lodge to Surgess instead.

Fingers crossed Griffen pumps out a 50 at least.

Kennar plays on the right edge so he's up against Croker/Cotric (Croric)
