Browny!

Mulvy wrote:I don't understand the Mann trade. Never been particularly fantasy relevant. He's on the wing. He MAY play in the halves for ONE game. Meh. But I've done you a solid Wolfy, he'll get a triple now!

I got Mann as a cash out that may have played 16 and should have played 17 in halves.

Couldnt care less what he scores in other rounds.. but looking unlikely he'll play halves next week (hunt prob dropped for game 3).

Also thought he would play next week in the halves but the way Hunt is going tonight, jeez I'm worried.

Same here.
Was originally going to get Latrell, but so far Aiken looks good

Dufty!

Is that a Lafai TA as his pass was quite awkward ?

What happened to Brown? Injured or just given a spel?

Both I think, talking to trainer holding his ribs after he scored!

Middle went to shit soon as he left

MMM says given a spell @danseels1985

Great first half but it can change so quickly/stall for a CTR

Premier CTR is Aitken, glad he is on board!

Dragons also have a good draw for doing that naughty thing for the run home if he doesn't play but the problem is if he does play and doesn't do well. I'm looking at L.Leilua to maybe start next week and then hopefully not get another run.

Anything over 40 is good for a CTR, his main job for the 2nd half is to not get injured

I know he got a try but Bevan French doesn't get involved much. On long kicks, he never offers himself as an option for his full-back and then slots in at dummy half to pass to someone else. He rarely comes off his wing for a hit-up to give his forwards a breather. He's phoning it in.

His try was from a forward pass too.

I binned him in Week 1. Was a shocking pick by me.

Yep - Mann is in the loop for me tonight. At the moment he'll be swapped out

I'm hoping Lomax gets a run next week for the same reason, although other than maybe bench utility, can't see it happening

You're right but it's probably not his fault. The coach knows he's the same weight as Olive Oil and doesn't want him doing hit-ups and would prefer him doing the dummy half thing probably. I have'nt been watching that closely though.

over 40 is GUN for a CTR, Aitken has had a poor patch lately well capable of going 42-45 from now until end of season

I'm considering keeping Isaako who falls slightly below it, since R6 and getting acclimitised the rook has averaged 38 points and there's still the hope he replaces Boyd at FB

With 13 trades I was also hoping over these two weeks Mann could also make some good coin and then cash out again to a bottom dollar non player in 18. Backfiring big time so far.

Yep also him. I rate him, from the little I've seen , can bust a tackle and wouldn't play again you would think.

WINGER

H/T going as expecting without scoring a try, don't worry about it his score will only matter next week anyway
