177/5 so far, enough for a jump of 400 in the rankings.

Nobody has really done well though. So expect a bit of a fall over the weekend when people start killing it (probably Taupau, McInnes and Mitchell)

Who'd you captain mate?

Played hipgrave and traded in cleary. Rip fantasy team

No update for Walker for those run metres and line break. So many weeks now where most updates are just 1 point up or down. What do they think we are IDIOTS !!!!!

I know he was backing up from origin but the love for Cleary disguises the fact that Maloney is becoming the dominant half. He is kicking goals for fun and generally running the show and they are winning.

SJ's performance against Manly may decide my second half position and the Kikau situation must be addressed unfortunately.

Vossy and Braith on the same call was a study on how to engage your audience on one hand and piss them off with the other. Anasta's use of the word HUUUUGE along with his obligatory OUTSTANDING is
a lesson on less is more and this is with Vossy calling!!

Was looking at picking him up for R17, so either next week or the week after. Even though he wasn't scoring amazingly, I've always liked James and is pretty consistent.

Exact same plan for me Finchy. After his 100 point performance he will be a very popular trade in and probably over priced for his average

On the subject on the banner I don't care who gets it as long as I stop having to look at Taupau's smug face multiple times a day

Wow terrible fantasy night really, only James owners will wake up happy! Surgess just drops the ball too much.. That disallowed try would have netted him a decent 50 odd though, he has that in his game. Just got to hold and hope.

I've only had Arrow, Arey and Surgess play. Pretty average numbers, nothing too terrible though..

Round 17 is looking terrible at the moment. Even though JFH was a piece of shit, despite the coin he will lose, I might still keep him around until then and just not play him. I won't have to when Cook and Crichton are back but not sure if the 30 points is worth the 100K loss.

I'm trading out Thompson for cash, who would people go with; Olive, Katoa or Tuala? Or I could get a round 17 nuffie that hopefully will play and sub him in for Coggar to get Doueihi's 43 points?

Who comes in for Rapana i wonder?

Captained Surgess in all comps and cried myself to sleep last night. 80 minutes of pure puss. If i knew he took Georges 2017 hands out of storage for his 150th game i might of steered clear.

Oldfield. Actually good thinking. Might even hold off if we can find out if Rapa's injury is long term.

39 minutes for 1 point isn't exactly inspiring.

We'll I've captained Marty so I'd be fine with him earning another banner.

Oh, carry on then.

So, Ma'u 100% out then?

Yes due to birth of child. Why can't nrl players time the birth of their children in the off season haha.

Pffft, she could've crossed her legs for another couple of days. Push it back in!

Depends how the birth is going, if the head is out is that 20% ?
