I have no basis for this what soever, but when I think Manly in fantasy I think good scorers in the middle + DCE & TTrbo, and then bugger all else. When is the last time a C for Manly was good value? Genuine Q as my memory is shot

Moses Suli actually has a decent average there.

Jamie Lyon Goalkicking 40+ average, best centre in the game can't remember how far back but maybe 2012

I feel like Garrick is going to be a dud, but using a trade to get Host feels pretty risky. I don't think anyone can answer with any certainty.

I'm trying to overcome my own FOMO and that means just sitting on Garrick in my NPRs. There will be new cows that pop up.

New cows are born to replace Sivo cows though

Just like garners one sole job in life is to earn enough to become his teammate Ryan Matterson 

Peats good for another 80? No Rein in the 17, could see Sami coming on and pushing Peachey into hooking duties but why not just run with Peach as the utility so he is fresh?

Anyways the main takeway is that Brennan is a dickhead

Would anyone trade both Watson and Dedwards for MMorgan and JBateman leaving Sivo and Ravalawa starting?

I'd actually be worried if I had Tolman, 52 minutes is not enough usually for him to average much more than 38 minutes, luck Bulldogs didn't have the ball much and they had to defend a lot.
Can't see him averaging more the 44 this year.

Adam Elliot 50 mins
Sue 35 mins
Fualalo 30 mins
CHN 30 mins
Napa 45 mins

leaves 50 mins for Tolman ( not sure he gets the big minutes people are expecting as he offers little in attack)

I can’t see how they don’t need him tackling everything that moves for 65-70mins with that shite team.

Don’t send boys out to do a man’s job. Players like sue and Fualolo and Tualala..: I mean these guys are an actual joke.

Garrick didn’t give me much in fantasy term. What’s your thoughts on my earlier trade MTB? Holland + Garrick to Lawrie + Bird?
Reckon I hold holland and Garrick for now?

I don't mind this, but I also think Holland will be fine.

Not sure when he came back on. Seemed pretty late around 55-60 mins on 22pts and ended up with 51

Elliot actually averaged 45 minutes last year so last week was a bit up for him. I think when Napa and Tolman were on the bulldogs actually looked competitive. The coach will see this and will want them on as long as possible. 
Elliot 45
Sue 35
Fualalo 30
CHN 30
Napa 40
That leaves 60 minutes for Tolman... 55 if Napa gets 45. Could be more as Fualolo spends time at lock so leaves more to the props.

My guess is the coach will be making wholesale changes when the Dogs are 0 for 3

Just looking at their stats - Elliot has 7 missed tackles - was he really that bad?

Watching the game I thought Fualalo and CHN were their best forwards

Bird or Bateman 2nd trade this week. If Bird likely get Bateman next week. If Bateman probably go without Bird which seems dangerous

I would start Jackson at 13, CHN right and Faitala-Mariner left.
The less time Elliot gets the better.

Agree. God I didn’t even mention Elliott above.

I want to change my Predictor wooden spooner

For those that have Garrick and Holland and are thinking of cashing out wouldn't it make more sense to cash out Holland to bird/host/lawrie/bateman as there is a 50/50 chance that Holland will lose or make money where as Garrick is bottom dollar and can't drop any lower.

I'd rather not take the gamble on Holland losing more money than a player like garrick who could only improve (unlikely).

This is only if you're dead set on moving Holland along though.

Just looking at the Sivo to Host trade.

Say Friz is out for 4 weeks (I think he will come back sooner). Host has max 4 weeks at an average of 32 points making $150K max? Then back on the bench and the money starts to go and he becomes a trade.

Or you could save the trade and hope Sivo gets an extended run and scores a try to make some money. If Sivo makes $70-100K the difference is not worth a trade in my eyes.

Pretty sure Elliott said in preseason he's getting more field time.

I think Friz will keep playing lock, personally.

Don't see why it is assumed that Korbin Sims starts at lock. Did signing with the Dragons turn him into twice the player he has been for the first 120 games of his NRL career? I doubt it.

Bottom three will be Titans, Sea Eagles, Bulldogs. Shite backs and no depth if injuries occur.

Can see Raiders, Tigers, Eels improving and possibly Dragons, Sharks, Panthers sliding at this stage.

I'd love to grab Siro but don't have anyone I'm prepared to dump to do it yet.

I'm thinking Lawrie could with 2 of Sims/Kerr/Latimore capable bench impact players. Tariq/Frizell starting, 1 of Host/Leilua bench.
Adds a lot more to their attack if Frizell is not being used to plug the middle, as Graham, Vaughan and Lawrie are very capable of doing. Host just adds nothing.
