Understand you are new to Fantasy and the forum, but to be honest they aren't great picks.  Stick around and soak up the info mate; lots to be learnt on here

I dunno, was having a read on here to check the place out and I saw some guy talking up Maubs and another guy all over Rochow.

Don't listen to that guy, he has absolutely no fucking idea about NRL or Fantasy. We keep him around for his good looks and sense of humour.

Don't want to bring up cheating but Holland owners take note.  If Holland is your highest WFB EMG on your bench you can swap Ponga in and make sure you place who you sub underneath Holland.

Well this rubs it in.

I need somewhere to vent sometimes.

Everyone's celebrating Hollands genius and I'm stuck without him

Nice one wolfie - wasn't keen on playing turbo vs the chooks.

I havent played around with it physically but I think Im right. I reckon Milch can clarify, he's the loop king.

I guess you can't have a WFB in your 13-17 either unless Holland is your first EMG.

After giving "advice" all week about not using trades on Centres at this late stage, I was soooooo close to doing the same thing mate.  To be honest, you've done it now and I think long term it's the right trade.  He could have scored 140 last week, and that is not exaggerating if you watched the game?  He was over the try line like 3 times.  

He looked a bit dusty from the get go tonight so maybe not quite right?

Well I'm taking Holland's score - I don't care about being called a cheat - I'm still holding Dugan so I'll take what I can get

Wonder how different the leaderboard would look if the game was set up to play how they actually intended

Dugan owners get a get out of jail free card.

Bugger Holland down to 54 . Still worth taking.

Well they still own Dugan, so it isn't all smiles and rainbows

It is set up how they actually intended mate; rolling lockout with ranked subs.  Either way I don't think it would have made much difference at all, you are still playing roulette with your scores.  There have been 'loopholes' for 5 or 6 years.

Not sure about anyone else up the top but Zora has stated not using the poolhop at all, so number 1 is number 1 without it.

They only have themselves to blame.

It's not though is it, still open to move around ranked subs when they should be locked out, no point trying to rose tint it 

They introduced ranked subs in the event of a starting player not suiting up, moving around the reserves after lockout was not what they intended

They shouldn't be so shit at their jobs then and have done it properly.
