If Prince Harry turned up looking fit, keen and good to go for the local pub team, what position are you playing him?

I’ve got him lock.

Who is Prince Harry?

The bloke who married the trailer park trash chick who’s dad couldn’t make the wedding while the step siblings heroically stepped up to take some cash from the paparazzi, then whinged about being stalked.

You couldn’t write a novel like this. #royalfamilyfucked

If you could reverse your RFM Trade to Martin and get Murray’s 46 would you?

Save a trade or Martins Cash?

Martin should score around the same mate. Depends if you want the trade and coin.

Arrow losing 6 points.....ugh!

2RF or CTR

Lock, bit of filling in at Hooker. Definite ginger Dallas Johnson Shaun Fensom type. Not much of him but a tackle machine

Depends what your objective is in signing Martin. Should get decent minutes so he's a good chance of matching that 46. Barring injury you'd think he gets 35+ (on the limited evidence so far that he's good for some solid base stats). So let's say he has a shot of matching Murray, and otherwise you lose maybe 10 points playing him this round.

If you're bringing him in as a mid-range scoring cash cow for a few weeks because you can spare a trade for a bloke very likely to make you decent cash, but ideally you want that spot to provide some scoring depth or even be a 14-17 sub - rather than a cheaper cow making similar money but scoring 25-30 pts/wk in your EMGs - Martin's a good shout and now would be the time to make worthwhile cash from him. Pulling the same trigger next week, maybe he costs $60-70k more, and somewhere down the line that's $60-70k less for an upgrade. At potentially 5 points avg per week, that's not worth making maybe 10 points this round (and possibly 0).

If you don't need to pay a bit more for a cow to actually use their scores, and you can use that trade for someone to sit in your EMGs or to sit temporarily as a lower to mid-range scorer in your WFBs for example, and think you can make the same money after this round from that cheaper player (Brimson? maybe?), then I guess you could take Murray's score and free up more cash chasing Brimson, or whoever, next week, in the hope of similar cash gains.

772 from 13. Fifita, Havili, Martin & JMK to come

900+ should be on the cards after a couple of dud rounds, but when my two halves and (so far) five back-rowers have been outscored by Hiku and Isaako in the centres, who the fuck knows.

Is Taupau getting too expensive to bring in or is he a must have for round 13

856 with Martin and JMK to come. Hoping for the 900 which going off previous games, should be possible.

Was at a work function but missed all the games. Arrow is a champ! Missed out on 10 free points though with the updates from Cook... Is Arrow still a injury concern?

Brimson scored well which is nice. He'll be a smidge under $300k next week. Is he worth bringing in over the cut-price Turbo/Teddy?

Curtis Scott, what a fucking legend *standing ovation* Walker seems like the type to get under the skin so good to see him getting his just desserts. I'm pretty sure his send off was warranted if he kept antagonizing an earlier situation. Pretty sure that's happened before.

Can’t believe the amount of Cowardly Punch or Cheap Shot type tweets I’ve read on the Scott incident. Several of them these blue tick media. No clue at all about shit. Dylan Walker was walking towards him face on sledging him if not egging him on. There was zero cheap about. Saw it coming and hope it hurts today the little grub

Must be a slow news day all over the world this morning, apart from some over hyped wedding nothing else seemed to happen in the world over night.

EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, some dude got killed by his missus when he changed the channel from the royal wedding to the football during an ad break. Apart from that nothing else happened and no sport was played over night.

747 with Fifita, Havili, Martin & JMK to go. Maybe I should play 16 every week.
Its been a crazy week so far.

Should be able to pick Refs on your team. 2 points for a penalty, 5 a for a sinbin = 60+ per game

Lucky for me my wife fell asleep or should I say had power nap so I tactically turned the volume right down, dimmed the lights & I was able to see most of the games. Whenever I sensed eminent dander I changed the channel back to the wedding. When the dust settled it was back to the league.
Joking aside I didn't mind my wife watching the wedding because normally I get to watch all the games every week so she is a champion.

Averages take you to 931 points but I'll deduct 20 points because the players never score how you want them to so I estimate 911 points.

Have all 3. Keeping RFM for 17. People with low trades are going to be in trouble

He's a keeper atm for me

With some of the second row scores this weekend, there is no reason not to keep him.

Big guns getting 40 and injuries I mean.
