Arrow Murray Bateman

Bird Capewell
Teddy CNK Rava

Lawrie Mahoney Nikora Garner
Cartwright CHT Sele Host

Trades this week were McCullough=Bateman  & Keighran=CHT
Fifi is C because roulette always fucks me over and I have gone with him from the start (no smith or cook)
Went for Bateman over Ponga or Crichton as differential from Macca would be bigger next week. Hopefully Rava can hold up with a 30 for one more week.
Went for CHT over Okunbor as don't need a centre and believe they will make the same money over 4-5 weeks
First year didn't start with Smith and regretting it given Cleary's form
Getting worse at this game every year!!

You’re welcome. That’s what I’m here for.

McCullough
Fifita, Taupau
Murray, Bateman, Garner
Cleary, Morgan
Nikora, Bird
Sivo, CNK, Rava

Rein, Tolman, Capewell, Lane
Carty, Garrick, Brown, Kahu

CONCERNS:
- Garner might be on a downward trend after his Rd3 injury.
- Cleary isn't playing like a gun.
- Rookie WFBs are annoying to pick in 13.
- Why did I pick Carty last week instead of CHT?
- Kahu sucks. Sucks worse not at full back.
* LANE is the biggest problem. Checking his 2018 stats as a starter, he should easily average over 50, and is around 40. After 3 weeks of price rises, he actually went negative overall in one bad score last week. What's his problem? I wanna hold, but can't afford to at this rate.

Which 2 should go this week? I'm leaning towards Kahu and Lane, but maybe Cartwright, or even Brown - I'd rather have everyone earning money or points, even though looping is handy.


Can't pick who comes in. Have looked at Okunbor for the fast money more than points, as I need more stats on his reliability before starting him. CHT will get some money too but I don't need him as a scoring half - though he could take Cartwright's spot and be my backup. Xerri should be good points and money with his base last week and Johnson back beside him but I don't need another CTR. I really need another reliable WFB so Ponga or Teddy are on the cards. Lane would have to go to get them.

Kahu & Lane -> Ponga and (Xerri/CHT/Okunbor)?
Brown and Kahu -> 2 Cows?

I've got no idea ... and only 4 hours to go

curious, where you are ranked atm?

King Assassin wrote:Top 5 Players to watch this week

1) Angus Chrichton - Although a lot of people will be buying this week, He has had 3 games starting this season and only had 1 50+ score thanks to a try. If he scores 50+ this week then hes definitely in my side next week.

2) Payne Haas - A player in a lot of teams during preseason before the suspension came. Interested to know what his minutes will be like and how fast he scores. (note - minutes may be affected by TPJ being out).

3) CHT/Carty - It was a debate on who to bring in last week with the halves crisis. Will CHT shit on the Carty party ones again or will the tables turn?

4) Nathan Cleary - We all know what hes capable of when fit. He clearly isnt at the moment. How long will he be affected by this groin complaint? Will he do more general play kicking? If/when his score turn around when is the time to jump on him?

5) Siosiua Taukeiaho - Not on many peoples radar up to this point. After a poor scoring round 1 where most players that didnt get across the line scored poor, He has managed to bring his average up to 51 and has shown his tackle busting ability. Another solid score may bring him into my team next week.
