Nice one Welshy. Wonder if you'll have stopped drinking before the Panthers/Eels game?

Thanks mate! Couldn’t be prouder of my country! Didn’t even play well this tourney, minus a solo dicking Ireland today!just fucking grinders! Outstanding and best stadium in the world boys for atmosphere I’ll see some of you cunts soon I reckon

No trades for me as I managed to avoid the dud picks. No Kahu, Napa, Teddy, Watson, Radley etc.

Don't like the chances of Brown outscoring Keighran in what was a 50/50 decision. Holland looked a lot better than his score shows, missed his B/e by 5 in a 40 point loss with 5 missed tackles. I think he justified the decision to actually pick him and won't be making major changes moving forward.

Wasn't convinced on Mahoney all preseason but price point made him the best choice for me. If he stinks it up I'll probably go to BSmith

Disappointed I didn't grab Lawrie. He would have made a 25 man squad but not a 21 man squad for me

A bit stumped for trades next week. Had a couple of duds in Radley, Holland and Glasby (excl try)... Probably won't trade them but don't know who I should trade to get cows in lol

22 from Kahu with a 15 minute HIA is not too bad. Doesn't need too much improvement to hit the 30-35 that people wanted.

Napa is my other disappointment, but bringing him in allowed Friend, so overall not too unhappy.
Maybe Host/cheapie would have been better.

So far those are the only 2 on the chopping block.

Hughes, Sironen and Surgess probably the guys I most strongly considered and couldn't fit in but did well. (Surgess needing a try to beat his BE perhaps justifying my wariness)

RTS is one who scored well that I didn't think worthwhile.

Cleary is the one playing today I most wanted in my team but couldn't fit. Also Mahoney who I ended up getting too nervous about.
Dylan Brown outside my 17, will I regret that.?

Holland is fine. Players can't beat their average every week, and the dogs won't be *that* bad every game

Currently 664/12 (c) - Arrow, Lane, Mahoney, D. Edwards & CNK to play. Holland & Ofa the only 2 who I'm disappointed in but Ofa should see more mins with Lodge out so I'll keep & Holland I'll probably keep as well. But I am considering selling Cook because he looked more like a director of play instead of making plays himself so imo the cheaper hookers could match his scores.
Some excellent scores on here so well done boys.

I am 714 with Arrow, CNK, Edwards, and Mahoney.

Just feeling off the pace.

My only poor scores Tatola, Holland and Cook with the (c) disappointing. Tatola will be flicked for Bird most likely. Keen to see how the rest go.

Yo be fair RTS played in a dominant warriors team, surgess needed a try to beat his BE as you pointed out. Hughes had a try too.
Ended up giving Mahoney a miss due to the rumours of eels wanting to bring another hooker in and his not so exciting stats for big minute games from last season.

Who are the cheapies to consider for round 2?
Bird, BSmith...Host? With two weeks before Korbin comes back in?

Surgess got an 8-point try but also missed time for a HIA, so pretty happy with his fantasy potential this year.

BSmith is interesting. Could be this year's Tevaga. He's good enough to get more minutes than he does.

BSmith is definitely one I’m considering. He’s a bull at a gate which is awesome for fantasy and I like the way he goes about his game

Who do people have as the priority INs this week if you don’t have them? I’m lukewarm on bird for example

I want to make cash but the key is to be as certain as possible re performance rather than just points, hence me being suss on bird because I thought he was meh watching it live

On the Warriors I know it's just 1 game but that's probably the best team performance I've seen for a couple of years, it was even better than last year even though they put in some great team performances. Everyone having to lift their game with no SJ. Seems getting rid of SJ was the right move especially when he played like shite for the Sharks.

My last two NPRS are Sivo and horsburg. Horsburg his obviously bit of an unknown, Ricky isn’t known for giving his rookie props big minutes. Any other options I could consider?

846 with Edwards and Arrow to go. Should break 900 and for that I am happy.

Thought rank would be higher but that's cool

Yeah that was what I thought when he left. They have noone to hide behind and SJ gets to play with a team that won't rely on him to win.

Yesterday's performance was half doggies playing poorly, and Warriors stepping up right across the board. Every player looked hungry, but they just backed each other up on defence and in attack. It was beautiful.

Dean Pay really needed to give Napa and Tolman more game time. The doggies looked best when they were on. As soon as they went off, Warriors made easy middle metres and beautiful kicking from Green set up the first two tries. Dogs were on the back foot from there

will keighran and nikora sustain 50+ scores

Wth bro, very nice! I'm definitely envious. Thought I was doing well but apparently not lol I'm about 100 behind with those 2 and 2 others to come. What's your rank?

I'd pin Nikora to maintain high scores, maybe not 50+

Keighran looked really good but got a lot of attacking stats later in the game. He was scoring slowly to start
