Fuck. Well, that'll teach me. At least I have Holmes who can play next week. He's more likely at fullback.  I'll need to bring in Olive for Thompson as a cash out, because I'll need to play him.

That's so rough mate. I would have thrown my tv out the window.

How can someone playing 80 minutes score under 20!? (CTR/WFB excluded)

I can understand if they play for a poorer team and don't get a lot of ball, but he plays for one of the better teams in the comp.

Perfectly straight forward comment I thought.

It is indeed surprising the drop in Walker's scores. We knew tries were a stat he needed but his value fantasy wise even without tries have dropped off. His work within the team and their structure and set plays is good, just doesn't cover the stats needed for fantasy. I guess even though he is in a winning team also, you've got Reynolds in top form steering them around and then Sutton has become one of their main focus points and obviously he has played in the halves a lot, so you've almost got three halves out there, and then even Doueihi had a big hand in a lot of what was going on. I guess Walker just cruising doing what he needs to do but with so much strike power, they don't need big plays from him all the time.

Well do ya jump off now to TTurbo if ya have the money or stick him as 18th man and turn someone else into TTurbo??

Means I will have to run Aitken/Fonua at CTR and hope for the best

What ya reckon?

Yeah, goes to show you should always try keep an eye on the team lists. I can handle a week or 2 out, but out until round 16 with a bye the next week.. Is probably a trade.

But, if Olive scores well, I can afford to hold him. With my current plan, I'll have 9 trades remaining in round 16. We know that if this prick ever makes the field, he'll stay a keeper in the backs.

Should have gone Aitken.

Nothing wrong with that centre pairing mate.. TTurb won't being playing alot over the next couple months, 2 origin games and a bye on the way.

Even if Brown plays today I think I wont bring him in this round. Can wait and see

I think that's the way to go because Brown has to blow the cobwebs out & he has to re-build his match fitness.

Blow the cob webs out with a try with 5 defenders hanging off him

That would be excellent.

If I had a plenty of trades left & could afford a 1 week punt I'd definitely buy Radley. Playing 80 minutes & with his work rate he has the potential to score a 50.

If we are playing that game, I would have brought Farah in last night.

Radley is a good shout for a one-off big score too

Only saw one game that radley played and he seemed to me to be the kind of guy that makes hits that get recorded as missed tackles

Boozey brought up the topic of a meetup last night

I'm trying to kick things off.

Pop over to this thread if you are in Sydney and want to come and talk shit with other fantasy tragics

He misses the same amount of games as Walker/Watson from here. I think playing on the wing in Origin he will be fine backing up.

I will probably hold now as his value is pretty much shot.

I reckon the roosters rest Cordner after Origin so I’m picking Radley for two weeks of scores, then off the bench and a (hopefully) decent cash out.

McCullough is still holding an elbow injury. I don’t think Macca goes down but who knows, he’s going to have to be a tacklebot Wednesday night and his return to the Broncos has been flat with less tackles (assuminflt due to his elbow). Next off the rank is Friend? That’s all speculation though and redundant if Macca stays fit.

Jai Arrow on abc radio just said he is 100% fit. Back settled down heaps and ribs "yeah theyre sweet mate".

That’s my boy

But seriously, I think the dude could break his leg and he would rock up game day asking to play.

Katoa was a nice present. Wish TB hadn't switched Gosi to start or would've stuck with Gosi>Lolo instead of selling RFM. Because of this I went without Fifi and not unhappy with his score. Chance he comes down in price a bit with reduced minutes. 

If Matterson out do I consider Matterson>CS9 now and have 2 trades next week? Olive and maybe Tuala. Matterson seems like keeper though even with 73 BE unless continues reduced minutes though these were due to concussion right?

Could be worse. You could have brought him in twice......

By my rough calculations I will be a few k short of going Murray to Olive and Gosiewski to McInnes. Means I have to sell Lane instead to do this and he looked great on Thursday night so I'm hesitant to do so as he still has money to make. In short,fuck you Gosi
