Went Kikau to Crofty but if you guys have anyone else in mind that would benefit for 617K or under. Up against VK in the L8 GF

Looking good Trooper, VK is a man down so you should be ok...
I'll be deathriding Crichton, DCE, Mitchel, Turbo, and McInnes for Zora's sake!

Oh... drag and drop. When are they giving you Fanhub's contract?

From the NRL.com Scout Q&A;

How's your overall placing going Scout? Seems like you've been killing it this year, well done.
From NRL Fantasy Expert

Cheers Mr Expert, I'm ranked 27th.


Pffft.......no one asked you that mate, especially someone called NRL Fantasy Expert, hahahaha!

MTB is so good

How is the ladder prediction Comp looking heading into the final round?

Shit I've got 8 playing on Sunday. I'll be very nervous as my rank freefalls on Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

That would be a massive signing for them. Brown, Alvaro and Taupau is a mixture of hard work and power.

Taupau at the Eels will be a shit fantasy pick because he'll get crap minutes unless Brown loses some of his minutes.

Hughes/Munster to fullback and Croft likely to stay as starter?

Was meant to be his last game at home too - messes with the promoters plans a bit there.
The illness must be a major worry for Slater tho - hope it's nothing too serious

My advice for Zoras

a. Leader likely to captain Cook, so captain anyone else. Lolo is good choice as best POD you have on leader so best potential for big gains

b. not sure looping Cook is worth it. Massive benefit if he somehow gets injured or scores single figures. but even on a poor day Cook is likely to go 40+ and you'll probably want his score. You aren't that far behind that I think its a risk worth taking


These are the 2 loop setups I would consider.

Cook
Fifita Taupau
James Lolo Trbo
ARey SJ
Marsters Holland
Teddy RTS Mbye

Arrow
Smith
Ponga
Aitken
Surgess
Farah
Martin
Lewis

Move in Martin and or Lewis depending on Farah/Surgess's scores


or

Cook
Fifita Taupau
James Lolo Trbo
Lewis SJ
Marsters Holland
Teddy RTS Mbye

Farah
Smith
Ponga
Aitken
Surgess
ARey
Martin
Arrow

Start Lewis, and sub in Martin/Arrow based on Arey/Surgess




Good luck, hope Mbye gets a banner tonight

Given you only have 16 players this week, not a lot you can do, but I'd captain Teddy and hope for the best. He has a good chance at going big against Parra. If you aer going to fluke a victory that is the way to do it.

What definition of rooting are you using there? All good either way haha

I have two trades. Will use them both

You fool!

Save them so that if you end up on the same score as the others you can win on tie-break!
