Boyd can’t run anymore but if you had someone like DEdwards, wow. Isaako looks like when he moves to FB he will be sniffing around the ruck a lot.

was surprised to see TPJ *only* on 60 after playing the full 80.
He was on 40 with his run by the 20th minute, thought he was going massive from there

99/100 people said bad trade? 

He is a stepping stone at best IMO, plenty of injuries in that Parra pack makes him a big risk and he won't be playing lock when Brown returns, He is simply doing the same job as Brown, when Brown returns he will find it hard to replicate the same workload along with Alvaro as well

Just a couple of comments on my mate Terepo. I've had him since round 7 and without actually having any hard facts before me, I think he's only played lock three times, including tonight (maybe four times max?). And last week, with Ma'u at lock, he hit his highest score of the year (59).

Point is, I'm not sure Brown's return will have any impact on his scores at all. I guess I kind of hope so too, but he doesn't score higher at lock than he does on one of the edges. I was actually pretty bummed tonight because I think that's the most minutes he's played so far this season, and he still got stuck on that 50... which I'll take any day of the week, but one can always hope for more.

@Zoras and Verbal,

Getting towards the mid point with you guys in a good position. If you want to keep everything under wraps. (Which is a solid idea.) Definitely feel free to PM me or you know some of the actual Fantasy skilled guys I am sure we are all willing to help you if you need it.

His score looks low to me fantasy wise also, 2 TBs? and he kicked absolutely everything! 

Was expecting him in the 60s

I know you love kick metres Welshy and he's been racking them up, that's why I got him in.............round 4. I had to check. I captained him that week too for his 36   . The next round he scored 87 which normally would make one happy. Me, not so much. He's going okay. Lifted his floor with the km's but is making far less attacking stats. I just feel he might go gangbusters at some stage so I might just keep him until round 17, and maybe he then could possibly make a good 18th man with loophole possibility.

Guys that own Terepo don't even stress. As a Brown owner I want to off myself for holding him for seven weeks. He may not even end up back next week.

Only played 2 games with NBrown 45 and 27 points, not big enough sample.

Point is the extra work and minutes won't be there because Brown and Alvaro will eat it all up

Haha, this guy:



Not this guy:

Maybe we can go 50/50. Just split it now and end the season. Agreed?

I cant remember what I posted about my trades now. I flip flop so much. I also have hardly any clue what I'm doing so if people listen/copy then the joke's on them. pffft haha

Anyway, in all seriousness... I'm just enjoying being up there. I've had a crack at it and there's been some good banter on here. Win win

Man I absolutely love your attitude.

6 missed takles. Most I saw he bounced off at first contact but them completed the tackles with a second effort

Plus no offloads from him. Stuck to gameplan. While he does that coach will give him the minutes.

Yeah, just looking at his scores, his 28 was without Brown there, hey? He has a couple of those in him, but scoring 45 with Brown there (and thereabouts with Brown gone) is hopefully a good sign. I think that he's probably third in line in terms of workload behind Alvaro & Brown, which still leaves him in a solid spot.

Don't get me wrong, though, I was surprised to see his name come up as someone to possibly bring in at this stage of the game... but having had him for close to half the season now, he's been one of the the only decent Fantasy decisions I've made this year.

Looked like he copped an ankle injury or something just before half time and never looked dangerous and assume it must have been due to that.

I was wondering that tonight, if that first miss is considered a missed tackle, even if he ends up as part of the completed tackle.

I didn't bring him in personally but I'm taking the credit for saying Terepo was one to watch this year,he is a BA favourite and a good player minus the errors in his game.

Yep. Gets a -2 then a +1 in the same tackle. Ridiculous.
