Yes this true but without that shit score in RD 2 Morgo's average is 49.75 and the Cowboys surely have to improve their attack sooner or later. Morgo should peak somewhere around 700K and plays RD 12. I will be looking at players like Twal around RD 16.

If Morgan gets picked for origin which I think he will then he won't play round 12. Still a good buy though.

Surely he's a high likelihood to be in Origin and then miss R12 whether that be at CTR or 14 for QLD. If not and the spine is Ponga, Munster, DCE, Friend and Hunt 14 and then someone else at CTR I'm bloody cheering, extra number for R12 that I've ruled out

I can't see Morgan not making the team. They'll fit him in somewhere.

Can't see him there hey! Ctr's will be Gagai and Chambers and I think theyll want FAC at 9 and Hunt at 14.

Yeah fair call. I often hedge my bets when it comes to fantasy and sports betting and my own team is involved because I don't want to be doubly burnt but the planets are aligning.

Wavering hand steadied, :balls: hopefully dropping. Is 28 late for that guys?

Cheers legend!

All good mate, I’ll raise a beer for you at kickoff!

Captain Nikora for me, Doesnt feel gud with Fiffy this week.

Gagai on wing, Morgan CTR.

Has to be - we’re not exactly overwhelmed by form wingers.

Happy Birthday! Yeo the Mann!

can't see morgan missing the 17

I reckon Fifi will rip in. If he thinks the coach might pull him off, he'll go hard early.

Captain Kapow anyone? Can see fifi getting reduced mins and with AFB, Kapow might be more involved

Yeah, Fifita doesn't need too many minute to make an impact

(I won't captain him, and he'll be in pole-position)

Tossing up between Hughes, C. Walker or Gutherson to bring in. I think they'll all average about the same so could exclude Hughes because he doesn't play round 12 plus a tough game against the Roosters. Gutherson I'm not sure about because he hasn't signed yet so it could play on his mind or inspire him to perform better plus if Ferguson doesn't play it will affect Gutherson as he can't benefit from Ferguson's go forward. That leaves C. Walker who's confidence must be sky high after last week scoring 4 tries & up against the Bulldogs he could be in for another points haul. The stars seem to allign on C. Walker. Thoughts & thanks.

Hmmm CWalker might have a purple patch, but being a previous CWalker owner I would steer away
King Guth should sit within that 40-50 range
I just sold Hughes for Ponga, so he'll probably start scoring 50+ from now on

$80k

You have a nicely balanced team. Don't really like the idea of trading Morgan out and relying on CHT instead. Morgan is averaging 46 which was about his target when you started with him. BE still lower than that, will end up well over $600k.

Morgan out leaves you with no halves cover and a rookie half instead. (assuming you still play Ponga at FLB).

You have some guys ready to be traded out, would focus on them ahead of Rava and Brown. Tui Kamikamica hasnt scored over 26 without a try and is much less likely to get 1 or 2 tries than Rava who has got a mid 30s without a try. Host is another who coming off the bench is going to get mostly scores in the 20s. Brown allows you to loop really well with Ponga in there, which is extra points until you trade him out.

Left field trade ideas for you after the Haas trade:
- If you want a decent WFB to bring in to replace Ponga and trade Morgan later without worrying about WFB, I am a big fan of DWZ at Fullback for just $295k, a bargain and plays round 12.
- Egan was just named starting hooker based on form and is another bargain that plays round 12. Should score well at 60 minutes per game.
Either trade should be in budget.

Say what?

I've pussied out of all the risky captain options and gone with Taupau. He's kind of still a risk himself given his last game out, he had that shoulder bothering him. However 45 points in 38 minutes is pretty good and with AFB out, he's going to be given extra minutes hopefully.

Just seems like the safest 50+ option available to me.

Host to Ogden?
Ogden has scored close to a ppm in all his matches so if he can get 45 mins he could be a decent scoring cow for the next month or so.

Would you say Fiffy's a bit iffy?

To be honest, although Twal is killing it his minutes are a little over the shop. 49, 54, 66, 53, 68. It appears the 66 and 68 were inflated by injury. Without those two his average minutes is 52 and score 51. Now I don't want to put you off Twal as I would love him in my team but are you buying him expecting him to play 65+ minutes and get 60 points a game when for all we know he could be more of a 50-55 minutes prop making 50-55 points a game, which is still a top 17 player might i add.

To me he looks to be building into full match fitness, looking better each week.
