Not kinda...

With goalkicking and general play kicking Lamb should be nailed on for 35-40 points a week.

Could make 120k+ over the next few weeks.

I guess it can be argued that Hodkinson won't hurt DCE's scores, but i can't see how he'd help, Hodkinson is all about the kicking game which will impact DCE's KM, which has been a decent source of his points, and he's also a goal kicker, and given some of the sitters DCE has missed in recent memory, DCE might hand those over too.

i'm just saying this has a Norman-when-Moses-linked-up-with-the-Eels-last-year feel about it, and i'm not touching him until i see what role Hodko takes on

Finally some time to sit down and do some fantasy work... If you wanna fire any thoughts and questions through guys, go for it!

I own DCE but if I didn't I'd take your approach.

@mearcats, would appreciate your thoughts on my mob.

Concerned over Muarry's minutes, thinking about Murray>JTurbo with JMK>Brimson. The Smith ban is annoying with origin coming up, hes another option. Wouldn't mind Cleary next week maybe for a JFH/RFM/Kikau + Cogger.

We got you mate. I kind of agreed to cause Reynolds has been poor. Hes turning it around nicely though. Great to see as a Bunnies supporter.

Thoughts on Rein > Martin/Lamb and Cogger > DCE? My reserves and emergencies aren't looking great right now and getting rid of a NPR in Cogger to Martin or Lamb helps generate cash and DCE is a season keeper. Does Rein need to go first or Griffin?

My team with 237k ITB:

Cook
Fifita, Kikau
Taumalolo, Jurbo, RFM
JT, Matterson
Hiku, Aitken
Ponga, Teddy, Thompson

Rein, JFH, Griffin, Murray
JMK, Isaako, Sorensen, Cogger

Who would you trade this week from this lot mearcats?

Kikau, Murray, Havili, JFH, RFM, Smith?? One will make way for Fitzgibbon while JMK becomes Lamb.

Cheers pal

Yeah i know he's a hundred K on Lamb, but he is so gud to watch in terms of fantasy. Producing at the moment, so ticks the boxes.

TLT may change my views on Havili but currently going

Smith - Macca
Hav - DCE

Will leave me with

Macca
Fifita, JFH
Kikau, TLolo, Arrow
DCE, ARey
Capewell, Isaako
Tedesco, Mbye, Ponga

Cook
Murray
RFM
Barnett

Cogger
Dugan
Martin
JMK

Not even close. I said he could hold a spot in the starting team, maybe at centre, because he’s too good to leave out, but at no time, EVER, did I say he would replace Reyno. I may have wished he would, but that’s not what you’re saying. I have a retentive memory. All posts are available for review. I don’t troll, so keep it real.

Thanks for your co-operation

Why does the drainhole empty clockwise in one hemisphere and not the other?

How come Aubbs isn’t the gun I thought he’d be? Thanks in advance.

DCE plays his best footy with a strong halves partner. Pressure off, he flies. On his own, he’s shit.

definelty said you would rather Doui sticking around in the halves over ARey Rabs but it was based on the injury risk ARey carries and you summised correctly teams had figured him out in terms of giving him a wack after he has put up one of his signature bombs

His running threat has returned last few weeks mind so teams are more wary about just flying out of the line to get to him

Banked trades? I don't understand the concept.

I have more than zero trades, so will keep changing my team until that is no longer the case

Kenny Edwards to front court for fleeing police after being spotted driving while unlicensed.

This Hodkinson news is a bit of a headache coming into the week I was finally going to pick up DCE. But I am going to take it as a potential blessing in disguise. I think this is the sign I needed to persuade me to finally pick up Rendiggity after a regretful balking last week. DCE's BE is 55 so no huge rush to get him in and can afford 1-2 weeks to see how he performs alongside Hodkinson

NRL tonight just confirmed Hodkinson officially released
