Excellent footballer just gets zero opportunity for attacking ball outside Roberts

I was slightly tempted to pull the trigger on Isaako to JRob this week too.. Pretty glad I avoided that trade.

Now being a Rapana owner, I wouldn't mind a peice of the other edge with one of Croker or Cotric too.

Surmo, Tolman back Rd 13-15 so there’s a bit of time for Martin to make cash

macca playing 80 with niko 32 mins. is this normal going forward or due to the hass injury?

Mostly Bird being a crap half

Good to see some Milf points. I brought him in in round 4 on the back of bulk kick metres and with zero attacking stats until that point, I figured combining his newly found km's with his previously proven running game stats I might be able to ride some good scores up to a round 13 gun. Unfortunately he is struggling with the whole dominant half thing and has forgotten how to run the ball. Has been solid enough though, hopefully can continue some attacking stats.

He has so much extra potential, gets all his points from goalkicking and returning kicks

Put him outside Opacic, let Oates get the ball once a game with 3 defenders on him

I don't know if Roberts is actually too dull to realise he would be such a better footballer if he learned something else other than cutting back inside every fucking run, so much potential in him

Was going to post the exact same thing mate. Was going to upgrade Kennar, but thankfully isaako come through with a 30 so I'm trading Croker to Cogger for my only trade and then keep my kitty to upgrade MBye to Matterson or Giraffe neck.

Think Su'a got the extra for Haas because he was off and back on real quick

I think he is. He's been around forever and that's all he has. People complain he needs more early ball but that's all he does with it. He's a good player and when he gets in the clear you can shut the gate, but the truly great centres have more than that, can pass or kick or something. Wait that's it, draw and pass!

Hopefully the end of that experiment. Niko aint great but i was always in favour of keeping him in the halves over bird.

Cant leave everything up to milford. Bird offers zero.

If they're playing Klemmer of the bench, which is where he should play, Tolman might go back to starting prop.

Or just not willing to accept any coaching to improve his game because they have to see what he needs.

Don't get me wrong, kid is an absolute weapon, and although defenders know what he is going to do, he is still hard to bring down, that extra pause or holding the ball and out the back would be so much more effective for him and the donkeys backline as a whole

So with Edwards gone and Mbye tanking stocks are thin for a 3rd WFB to join Tedesco and Ponga. I had been holding off Tommy Turbo since he has origin, but he might need to come in now. Could also buy JMK and hope he improves from todays score. What other options are people running with at the back?

9/10 what Boyd did would be penalised for simulation in football. Funny game league has become

Still JMK since round 3! My team maybe shit but he's holding his own so far....

Anyone else pissed that Rhyse Martin wasn't goalkicking?

Robbed of 8 points, should've been 71 + whatever healthy updates he's due.

I was just wondering the exact same thing. Have been avoiding Turbo because of Origin and was originally planning on doing the Mbye to Turbo switch after round 19 if trades allowed. Would have to do the maths on whether it's worth bringing him in early for fewer games.

Only other options really are Walker and RTS, but neither fill me with much confidence.
Or just keep on playing Thompson.

Dunno if updates are in but MBye 25 and Isaako 31. Everything else looks the same.

I can't bring him in this week, but I really like RTS. Still getting around the 200 run metres, in form, looks dangerous and from memory a lot of his negative missed tackles have been unlucky last desperate touch on someone scoring a try (which I guess could continue). Anyway, Warriors still going well, I want him but his BE can wait and I have a zillion other things to worry about.
