    Don't Elgeys negatives (missed tackles) ruin any good score he might get week to week.

    I'm no expert but I think less missed tackles and the odd attacking scoot should mean he averages around 30 which is fine for a base pricer

    It's all about JS for someone like him. He has two players ready to come in at any time so Brimson has to keep playing well to keep his spot. One bad game he could be gone (see Cogger)

    Is Reynolds over DCE a stupid call? He's a POD and been in great form lately. He gets basically all the kick metres, kicks goals, gets attacking stats, can get 20 tackles a game, but the big worry is his injury past. Surely he's no chance for Origin too. DCE just seems safer and more consistent but with Hodkinson back (who can actually kick) does DCE's scores stay in the 50s?

    Watched Brimson closely and was real solid in D and looked dangerous running, nearly scored a great try. I didn't pick up Cogger because of no confidence in his security but am grabbing Brimson following how at home he looked. I think rather than trying to fix a problem he looked like he made the Titans more solid in both attack and defense and if the spot is his to lose his stability and confidence seemed up to the job.

    Strategic question for everyone. I still need a few more cash cows to show up to get the money for my ideal 18. If I’m looking like falling short, should I compromise on my 18th man. Or perhaps keep Ramien as my 2nd Ctr rather than upgrading as I had planned? Or compromise on my 3rd WFB to someone from the 2nd tier?

    I think given the variable scores from centre and the fact I like Ramien as a player I would choose this. It feels to me that a longer list is going to become crucial in later rounds this format

    In real terms Brimson is a very good player & is competent in all the basics so he is very solid with great pace. In fantasy terms playing for a team like the Titans will restrict his scoring because Taylor dominates too much & they struggle to dominate other teams meaning he'll struggle for attacking stats. If he was playing for a top team I'd say he'd average 30-35 pushing maybe 40 but for the Titans I think he average 25-30.

    My Thoughts - can someone help me if I am being ridiculous.

    KiCKOW - He can bust tackles, so from the bench he could actually still hit his BE 42, or better. Not an urgent sell this weekend

    Malony - I would assume for this weekend he will still do the kicking duties to take pressure off Cleary? Also a chance that Clearly actually goes back down injured. BE 41 not an absolute sell this week. But if Cleary kicks, then urgent sell next week.

    Rein - BE of 15. I wouldnt play him, but not an urgent sell if you have other pressing needs. Also the chance Peats goes down injured again as Rein is a keeper without Peats.

    Smith - Surely he should be a hold now (a 55 - 60 point keeper). You would think he would just get into work for Storm.



    Fuck, you should get a job as a physio. Every cunt is getting injured. Big bucks right there.

    I thought it was cleared of fracture with a high ankle sprain, been named to start but I'm doubtful he laces up, especially as his game is built of explosive steps and line running mate

    I think Yeo moving back to the second row for the next two games means they will not give him DPP. They will use the Munster excuse of "just filling in for a couple games temporarily" to avoid giving it to him.

    Anybody think otherwise?
