Lonescout via the nrlfantasy account has basically confirmed Fonua will get DPP

Temped to go Godinet to Tedesco but Ted will be in origin I assume so maybe is best to hold off on?

Nope, not necessarily. Hold the trade until next week. High chance Tommy T gets it but with Curtis Scott banned, may move TommyT to centre and Teddy FB.

Fist bump. He is still hanging around in my team as well

Yep

I considered that, but Barrett probably isnt looking to rest anyone, given his seemingly tenuous job security at the moment. Add to that, they get a week off to refresh in round 17 anyway, so why would you rest in 16?

Yeah your probably right
Test match is Sat, 23rd
Manlys next match is Sat, 30th
In fact the Warriors play on the 29th so I think Kearney is just talking tough and his players will back up

I've had him in since lockout on Sunday night. I think that's why my score went up so much in all the chaos. Before last weekend it was going to be Surgess instead but I don't trust his butt.

Surgessessesses's butt has me worried. I really dont want to see it massaged again on live TV. Really just to avoid an awkward boner in the pub

If he doesn't back up at least some of his players he's throwing away 2 points, they've got too many NZ reps to pull that crap.

Manly play on the Saturday. I'd be a lot more worried about any kiwis who play for the Dragons, Eels and Sharks.

Be interesting to see who is selected but I can't think of anyone from those teams who is a certainty except maybe Nightingale and he's not really fantasy relevant though the young dragons kid who played off the bench the other day could be a cheapie who plays a week for him.

1. RTS
2. Beale/Nightingale/Rapana
3. Kahu/Kata/
4. Takairangi/Hiku
5. Kahu/DWZ
6. Marshall/Foran/Nikorima/TMM
7. Johnson
8. Bromwich
9. Luke
10. Taupau
11. Mannering/Proctor
12. Harris
13. Taumalolo Blair/Proctor

14. Nikorima/Brandon Smith/Levi
15. Ma'u/CHN/JFH/RFM
16. NAS
17. JWH/Gavet/Paasi

Lot of options there, throwing in all the names I can think of. Probably missed a number. Few likely from the Eels, Dragons and Sharks though. James Graham is another one to think of if he plays in Denver for the other side.

What is the job security of Hetherington looking like at the moment?

I have no concrete insight, but i love watching Hetherington, i think he looks very promising. Any thoughts i have on him need to be underscored with the fact that i genuinely dont mind if he becomes a red dot down the line.
But aside from that, i wouldnt be surprised if his gig increases based on his performance. If he ticks along as he currently is with 20 minute stints, is that enough for you?

Does anyone else re read their comments and just think "wanker!". No?, just me?. Carry on.

Thats not related to sitting back and having a wank over our own comments is it.... ?

Who should i let stick around for another week. Havili or JFH? Will be trading Arrow in.

Both

JFH based on you know what minutes he'll play i.e. 60-80 mins whereas who knows what Stuart will do regarding Havili's minutes.

If I'm bringing in guys for Rd13 should I wait till next week. Eg. Fonua

Could be wise but he could be 50K dearer.

If they're a gun bring in asap regardless of b/e but if they're are a player that you are unsure of in terms of security/minutes/position then you might want to wait a week to be sure. Of course if you are a risk taker & your gut says buy then the 2nd half of the previous sentence does not apply.

Oh yeah!

NRL late mail saying;

Moose out.

Proctor in.

Seibold reckons Surgess good to go.

Griffin in doubt but says he is fine to play.

RFM in.

How refreshing in this modern age that people are willing to openly discuss masturbation. I'm more a beastiality kind of kind & that's why I spend most of my day at the zoo although I love the odd stray dog.
