Agree seems like minimal upside to me

Cheers mate.

Return serve by rabbits on dearden for what they did to our rookie winger sat night.

Dear Den won't be expected to catch any Reynold's special torpedoes but Burgess brothers could sneak in some facials if you must.

(C)ook
Fifi Haas
Garner Murray Kapow
Arey CHT
Bateman Nikora
CNK Teddy Ponga

Rein, Capewell Lawrie Carty
Xerri Kahu Lomax Brown

Current Trades are - 
Morgan --> Arey
Rava --> Lomax

Looking to Bring in Lolo, Farah, Burns in the coming weeks.

Rate the team lads.
Cheers.

Didnt really want to use two trades, but DCE out really opens up some opportunities with the cash in bank for a second trade. Eg Capewell out for another high range scorer.

Capewell does feel a bit like last time everyone jumped off and he pumped out a 60...

I stand to be corrected but was listening to one of the OZ pundits on radio sport today and he said Dearden is the best schoolboy half he saw last year and played for the winning side in the national comp. Had pretty big wraps on him but as everyone has pointed out its an unknown whether or not he will step up to NRL level. I think it says something that they are choosing him over O'Sullivan though.

Someone get his ISP stats now!

Appears he didn't play last year (too young).
Has 4 games for Wynnum this season averaging 40.75, however that's with 6pts per game coming from goalkicking duties which you would think Isaako keeps. Only averaging 103.75 KM per game in QCUP so that sounds like good news for Milford.

Also, not sure if you guys have seen the stuff going round about FanHub wanting to change the scoring of fantasy in 2020 to be more inline with Supercaoch due to concerns over dwindling numbers....

Perhaps they should have listened to the fucking feedback they received when they sent out those waste of time surveys last year. Then they might start prioritising improvements that people actually want. Fuckin useless knob ends.

my last three: 964, 1010, and 954. no trades for me either this week.

Last season it took me ages to hit the 900. This season I already have 4 900+ rounds

The other thing to remember is great halves don't necessarily equal great fantasy halves either, there's every chance he can step up to NRL level but still not post the fantasy scores that accompany that, especially with someone like Milford next to him who has a fantasy friendly game.

Yeah I saw a big hype article on how great a player he was and how he just dominated a match in ISP. Watched the highlights of the game and he didn't feature in them at all.

It does sound like he's a pretty impressive talent, but as 18th man says, whether or not that translates into good fantasy scoring is another thing.

Supercoach does a much better job marketing their product, with really good pre-round shows that stream live on FB and live discussion of teams, impacts etc, not just CK and some random occasionally chatting. SC don't have it perfect either, but they present what they have much more effectively. Nothing to do with how games are scored. When it is more based on who happens to score a try that week, it just makes it more random, rather than skill based.

That was Butters spreading shit rumors based on an anonymous email. I think someone tweeted 'evidence' to CK and he had a good laugh at it.

If you guys haven't had enough of Waddell love then here'a video

Apparently a few years ago Payne Haas was on the Warriors books while he was at school on the Gold Coast but a bidding war ensued & he signed for the Broncos. Imagine if the Warriors were able to out bid the Broncos because Haas is the very forward the Warriors need in the pack.

Tigers used to have an association with Keebra Park up on the Gold Coast (it's where we got Benji)
Jordan Kahu was meant to play for us but pulled out of the deal because we want to stay close to family in QLD so he defected to the Broncos, and I thinhk the Tigers ended their deal woith Keebra Park soon after (there may have been other deals that fell through, but Kahu is the one I remember)

Would be interesting to see what a Keebra Park 13 would look like. When some of their recent talents have reached their peak, would make a pretty good NRL side I expect.
