Bloke's Fantasy team is like an elephant on the ceiling though, you just know it's gonna come crashing down in a big way any second.

Bloody hell. Really trying to avoid the Softcock aren’t you?

It's been a really up and down night for me hasn't it! I sucked up to the bloke who lives on the other side of the country to get brownie points from him over Filth, but hammered the guy who lives a few suburbs across and could come over and belt me.

I may have dabbled in this wizardry previously.

I hope you noticed my brown and green comment you desert dweller.

Good to know.

I did notice said comment. I didn't acknowledge it formally, but I did note it's presence. Even that was more then it deserved.

You would have that attitude having never lived somewhere that’s green like you’ve never seen.
Even downvoted like an internet tough guy:lol!:

It'll be interesting to see how Morgan goes with Clifford at 5/8. A lot of people were either Morgan with TMM or nothing before the start of the season. Hopefully I don't regret bringing him in last round but if Clifford affects his KMs I'll consider it. Has anyone else given it thought?

Can we have a safe zone while I talk about a terrible trade that deserves plenty of scorn and ridicule. Let's get this embarrassment over with late at night and hopefully the daytime crew will just gloss over this in the morning.

Thinking about trading Keighran out. I am aware how fucking stupid that sounds and that he has a breakeven of 3. But it is the only feasible way I can get Burns into my team, and I am stuck with Kahu at 3rd WFB otherwise. I actually think Keighran's first score was the famous first-game-rookie adrenaline rush we see often, and Green is far too dominant a play maker this year. My gut has him pegged for regular 20s and maybe a 30-40k price rise at best unless he finds the stripe. I would love anybody with a strong opinion to the contrary to put their case forward. I can trade him to Burns who I think will make more money and provide close enough to keeper scores in the backline for the time being, and then additionally save a trade for this round. My only other options for Kahu>Burns would be to
A) trade Tolman to Napa
or
B) Burr (my current 4th reserve) to a Waddell-kind of nobody who I would then have to play.
Neither of those options particularly appeals to me and would cost me two trades to do. My other cashies (Sivo, Brown, Ravalawa) are all making megabucks anyway, so the lost cash if I fuck this huge call up is not the biggest issue for me (though the embarrassment of selling him if he comes out with a 50 point game might).

Any thoughts appreciated

Tl;dr- Keighran>Burns ; I am an idiot.

Not completely stupid, Burns should run rampant on the Titans edges

I am turning Gillette into Rein and the worst of my emergencies into Sivo ( maybe ). I have the same halves as you.

Morgan is a bit of a worry with that dodgy shoulder from what I saw in the Cowboys last game. Keighran should be up for a solid performance

in Christchurch after his below par second round. Good luck with your transfers.

I agree, he is set for a big game. I think having Burns this week rather than Kahu playing in my 17 is far more important to me than Keighran who is outside my 17 anyway. It's now or never for Burns too.
And if Keighran finds another 13 point game I think most people will be getting ready to sell him anyway.

Thanks for you input Alfie, much appreciated mate

Pull the pin Pookus, yolo.

Wrong Gillett my friend. One's someone that won't ever end up in my team, the other is one that won't ever end up in my cupboard

on the subject of that Napa trade (even though I don't think he will be coming into my team), how are people getting a read on Napa?

One game he plays 43 mins, the next 52. He makes 78 metres gained week one and 182 in week two. Even excusing the try he has 40 points in base stats against the Eels but only 30 against the warriors. With a breakeven of 3, whether he finds 30 or 40 points makes the big difference of whether its worth bringing him in or not.

Anybody think he finds the 40 points, or does he continue his sub 30 ways?

For what it's worth, i would make the trade.
