More likely Mason Lino to solve their halves problem, than Farah.

So sticky can play him at hooker like all his halves?

Farah to Broncos is laughable and not a rumour.

As uninspiring as Rochow is, he is an 80min backrower who plays round 13

Don’t get too lost in his BE. He played this same opposition (Parra) just 4 weeks ago for a season high 62 points in 74mins

So are you still holding him then?

Actually playing him in starting 17 ahead of JMK or Gosiewski yep. But after this week and until week 13 I’m hoping my team will be strong enough for him to be backup FRF 18-21 most of the time

It all depends if you need his cash for an upgrade or cash out to get a Fifita yet.

The Rochow to Su’a or Rein (non 13 not bottom dollar nor guns) moves are the ones that just make less sense to me.

They've already got Hingano! Haha.

By the time he would be playing they will have Hodgson back

I still have Doueihi... but might be trading him out to Carty this week, if Bryce can make the 5/8 spot his own with a reasonable fantasy score

The moment I trade Doueihi out Arey will get injured though #unwrittenNRLfantasylaw

Tipping wise whats everyone's thoughts tonight? Rabbitohs get it done without Surgess against a depleted Broncos or will the Broncos speedsters and ball players run around the Bunnies big boys?

I have bunnies tipped for now but am doubting my decision

How do you work out what a persons BE will be after there score?

(ie Jacks BE was 22 he scored 34, what will be his BE next week?)

I think his minutes could be under fire with Lawrence back, Alioi on the bench and McQueen looming also. I didn't play him last week so a trade to Sorenson makes sense. Could go Havilli though, but we've seen all he needs is the minutes.

I'm thinking exactly this that he's not going to lose a bucket load of cash

If he scores sub 20 he will.

Maybe not, but surely thats not enough of a reason to hold him.

He'd have to significantly up his average (or 35) to be worth a hold. Otherwise you are tying up ~$300k (or 20 points) per week in your EMGs just to get an extra 35 points for round 13. Even if he hits 40s from here on in I still don't thing he's a hold.

Yesterday's scores + averages have me at 850 this week.
That includes Rein and Maloney who have been performing above average and I expect that to continue.

Bring on 900+!

Current live ranking of 1209 with only three players having played but I think that will drop a bit after Cook plays.

This. 2/7 is more than an anomaly.

You're such an optimist Filth... I've had my team potentially averaging 800+ for 7 weeks, with it only actually happening twice... maybe this week it will happen. 

121/2 (so far, so good)

Starting to think Dugan is a luxury trade and should really be looking for more value.
Would love to get Rein in but his security sucks

Nah screw it, only live once

I AM an optimist! Thank you!

I’ve been tossing up between Rein and Dugan all day too. I think although I’ve played Hiku this week I’ll enjoy Dugan in the centres next week and hope the new warriors hooker is a decent option to cushion the blow of missing out on rein? I hope.

price predictor on the front page gives a good estimate if you have excel.
