Well done White Lightning you've got 4 As.

Can’t figure out what to do
11(2) trades and 6K itv
Cook
Arrow Fifita
Jurbo Chricton Tolo
DCE SJ
Ramien Mitchell
Ponga Turbo Fonua

McInnes Smith TPJ Martin
S’ua fainu TMM Brimson

Thinking of Fonua to Mann for a 147K profit but he will have to play in my 17. Then after RD 17 will do S’ua to a WFB Gun

Thoughts or ideas?

Whats with the hype surrounding Holland?

Are you worried about performance or job security mate?

There is a question mark on his security in a month's time when Jorris returns. In regards scores, he averaged a tickle under 40 over 15 games at Centre in 2016, and this included only 3 tries. Granted the Dogs were playing better but he wasn't relying on tries then either. I haven't looked to see if he kicked goals the whole time though; I believe he had to hand the tee over at some stage back then from memory?

He is 255k so a heap of us make 180k to boot who HAVE to trade Fonua.

It's a long season so with the Rep weekend I took the opportunity to give myself the week off fantasy. What did I miss? Is everyone jumping on Wobbie? Fainu and Holland? How long are Fonua and RFM out? How is everyone?

Yep I'll be following the advice. Good work boys.

Fonua is a trade mate, I think 6 weeks minimum. One less spot in the backline now with MBye as well and we know how Cleary was turning players over.

Not sure if there is an official time frame for RFM but you'd think a month.

Fonua to Holland for me and potentially RFM to Farah.

EDIT: looks like he did kick goals pretty much all the way through those 15 games. Still a chance to over Reese Mastin as well.

Nice try

I'm great mate I just got 4 As

RFM estimated about 4 weeks - no confirmation yet
I think Fonua out for 8 weeks.
I'm selling both.

With no fantasy the forum has been a bit bipolar but we have covered quite an array of subjects as well as the footy.

Round 17 I think I'm going to sell A. Crichton & buy Harris. Sideways as heck (no I'm not 100 yrs old just because I said heck). This is a points based move & Harris has been outscoring Crichton lately. I just need Crichton (b/e 56) to bust out 1 of his 80 point games to match the price rise Harris will make with his b/e of 30.

And for those who were around late last night-the forum completely disappeared.  Not one of those time warp things, it was goneski's for nearly a fucking hour

Conspiracy theories included:

-Henchy hacked the system;
-Fiona and FanHub took exception to MTB being able to run a better statistical platform in his spare time;
-@Random realised how shit his team really was.

Fainu - last I heard Manly were still trying to get the NRL to agree to him playing.

Just because Hastings is gone, doesn't mean anyone else has signed a contract to include them in the top 30 which I am assuming has to happen before NRL sign it off and Manly have to have a squad of 30 before 30th June anyway.

@ SI. I forgot to mention it today but it was odd. Random posted something bizarre yesterday so I thought he blew up the site haha.

Fair play we did have a panic over facebook 

My theory was @Random got paid off to dump the site for the failhub shaming and part donate some of his earnings to Fionas' cat sanctuary

Haha, I FB'd him when it happened, luckily he was still up knocking the top off it...
