What you doing with our boy Edwards mate?

I have already ridden him for a loss of 130K, I AM OFF. With a BE of 47 I am happy to let go.... for now.

I know Gillett came back with a 53 as well but that included a try and a line break. With a BE of 40 and most likely back to lock this week I am afraid he parts ways also. - CHT and Teddy in this week.

Hughes for Ponga next week most likely.

EDIT: I feel I am wasting trades like they are nothing but if it means jumping on guns that have bottomed out for cows/middies that have peaked or failed I am happy. I think after next week I can sit tight for a while with Burns hopefully back soon and a full strength team. Once burns returns Ponga can join Morgan in the halves.

EDIT EDIT: For those worried about Morgan... don't be. This is where the Cows excel. When they're at the bottom of the ladder this is when they play their best.

Going to be an interesting TLT with all the injuries for all those effected
Okunbor is going to be heavily traded in given his low BE, Milperra Colt but more of a Mustang
Out of the other cashies, CHT is also off to a great start and took his chance with both hands
David Klemmer is looking more and more like a keeper each week too, playing huge minutes.
Bronson Xerri has a big future too, solid debut by the 18 year old and will be one to enjoy watching
Yesterdays 'events' really did sour the weekend which I would imagine isn't fun to read either.
End of the day people come here to have fun and avoid drama, it's a shame a few enjoy causing it

Has scoring changed to include -2 for missed kick? Doesn’t super coach have that? Did arey have as many missed as he did goals.

Not sure what’s more A+ changing score system with out telling people or not including obvious points

Scoring has changed to include negative points for some (but not all) missed kicks, and only if your first name is 4 letters long and starts with a vowel.

This is the real reason why the Warriors dropped Adam Keighran for Chanel Harris Tavita, it was just to help their fantasy output

I am going to take a pass on Okkie (starting the nickname) especially with the plethora of WFB/CTR's i already have. Yes he has a low BE and should make money regardless but I am more excited by CHT who should keep up the scoring long term and has the flair and speed and step to go with it in that warriors side. Okunbor relinquished against an uncharacteristic Storm side, and ever more uncharacteristic Cameron Smith bouncing off tackles. I know he only needs 25's to make some decent money but CHT looks better for my team at the moment.

I feel after what Holland did yesterday Edwards can bounce back, but then again, he might not. I think what luckynumber suggested is what I was kind of looking to do anyway. Was going to get Ponga last week but didn't. The other end of me thinks to keep him and get a bye POD like Rapa instead and start planning for the byes, but will probably keep falling behind. I want to hold Burns too truthfully.

Same I think. Means I don't have to play Carty this week.

How is CHT's score on the weekend any different to Keighran's big score first up.

Convince me that it was
a) a fluke
b) sustainable

Um....Keighan got a try, Chanel didn't?

So what your saying, it’s neither of those option. It’s both. That’s even more A+ than I expected

Its not the stats guys. VSDT use same stats providers and they managed to work it out.

I missed it all so pretty happy lol but yeah, this place is a great escape. I love it. People just stressed about all the duds and injuries lol

Garner--got it wrong about the 80 because I usually just have the games on in the background lol

Do you think 5 TBs and a Line break will be standard for CHT?

CHTs first game contained more attacking points than Keighran in round 1. Fine if he keeps it up week to week. Do you trust the Warriors to be that consistent?

Yes this has me worried also. IF on the wing he should be a little more involved but it seems like something is going in within the team because when he was at FB and supporting they looked as to not want to get him the ball.
I am also worried about BYE planning at the moment as i only have 9 playing RD 12, although some are on the trading block. After Ponga i might focus on getting in some RD 12 cows/Middies who can be upgraded for the second BYE.

I luckily wasnt invited to the carty party

Just bird for me this year.

I'll be picking up Angooooos this round and brining in the young warrior.

I'll be saying goodbye to burr and Brown. SO many damn holes to plug

Burr made 43k this round, no need to trade him out yet

My current issue is finding players to trade out. Have spare cash, $178k after my first trade. Everyone in my squad is a keeper performing well or a cow / mid ranger with low BE that is scoring well.

You don't have to drain the milk fully. If you are able to jump onto your final 17 players earlier then go for it. I think Verbal used this strategy last year and it worked for him. I know some of the POD's of yours have done very well but they may not be final keepers so keep an eye out.

Chanel was known to be a flashy runner with a mean step that can break the line. Keighran wasnt.

Bulldogs we're terrible which led to decent attack points for AK and easy defensive reads.

Titans were terrible. If they had turned their opportunities into points they would have got a lot more possession and field position. I think CHT is just as likely to do an AK as he is of going well. Literal coin flip

More seriously, it looks like they have added in -1 for a missed penalty (but not a missed conversion)

No idea how or why it happened
