I'd honestly keep Thompson out of the two.  Dufty just struggles unless he gets a try and getting less and less involved.  Thompson at least seems to be able to get points a little easier without tries, although still not easy as we would like.  Plays 13 also.

Cheers. Good points. 

I had big hopes for Dufty and have been holding onto him hoping he was going to start to fire. I can't justify having both of them in the team anymore.

Yea, I'd toss one too. Others may have a different opinion to me though. Also, Dragons are dominating the comp and their FB is MIA. If they go into a bit of a form slump, you think his involvement would only get less and less.

How would you seperate Surgess and Taumalolo?

Taumalolo feels the safe bet at this point. But I suppose that stems from the fact he hasn't been suspended yet haha. Team also looks a lot more dominant with him in the team.

Fonua a good replacement for Thompson? Haven't been watching Tigers game anyone share some thoughts. Or better to opt in for Martin?

I think I'm going to flick Dufty. I already have Aitken anyway so I don't want Dufty taking tries away from him!

You know if you drop Dufty that doesn't mean the Dragons will.....

ive been watching him and he looks busy and fit. jogs back to the sideline after every run in field like it aint no thang

i think he had 19 carries in his first game back and something similar last week. dont expect the world from him, with a try last week and one set up in the previous week he is still only scoring between 35-39 so not awesome (in fact pretty similar to thompsons output albeit at a cheaper price)

but he is in top form, and unlike cartwright is and competing hard for his spot which is what you want from your players. could peak come rnd 13. im not bringing him in though, have more pressing issues

Crichton probably gets Pearce's wage next year, but Napa/Friend could more than cover Taupau. He'd be a great signing for them too.

OK.

I kind of want a week to find out what Souths' full strength pack rotation looks like, so Lolo over Surgess for me.

Need to think about two more rnd13 guns to bring in for Havili and Maloney in coming weeks. Shortlist:

Surgess (almost certainly)
Crichton (gambling on return to ubergun status, very underpriced if so}
NBrown (if back from injury)
Fitzgibbon (pod)
Taupau (cross off as will be too expensive)
Matterson (overpriced but handy dpp}

Hey Rabs, good to see you back bud.

You reckon Sam Burgess is back and ready to explode?

Does everyone have backup plans for Rein? Tempting to get off at this station.

I now have just thought about Bird getting shifted back to centre. With Kahu possibly back next week or so, Isaako would surely be the one that misses out. Only thing is if Oates gets pushed to the forwards, but with the form he's in I can't see that happening.

I would go with FIFi & RTS - i trust them way more!

Fortitude wrote:Are there any players we are confident will only be used during origin as cover.

For example (this may not necessarily be the case)

Katoa to play in place of Dugan.

As Milch pointed out, its getting to the point where you wont be able to bring in cashies to then trade them out again. So im looking for 212-230k players who will play as a cover for origin, but that's about it.

AE risk isnt a factor this year so the only risk if they play is that you cant loophole.

They wont be in your 17 Unless you have 4+ outs in a week but even then their score will be better than the 0 you would have got in previous years.

@my tv broke I caught up with a couple of mates who were at their wits end with the stats section in the app - and about to quit NRL Fantasy!!!

I pointed them to your site and they were pouring in gratitude! I told them id pass it on to you.

You just saved two fantasy lives bro!



I also suggested they “Buy you a beer”

Everyone is always rumored to the Roosters lol.
#SombreroEffect

They currently adding Chrichtonne next year!

Who makes way? JWH or Napa?

Weren't the Knights really interested in Napa?

Also not posted in a while. Up to rank 263

Highest I have ever been.

Gonna go Arrow to Lolo and then look at Arrow again further down the line.

Also going Sorenson to Martin.

Did a bit of maths earlier and I reckon I need another 2 cows to get to the amount of cash I need for the final squad. Might be completely wrong
