Really stumped at how to approach this week.

What's everyone obsession with Taupau?  He's never been a guaranteed keeper in the past few seasons especially when you have Fifita and Haas this season pumping out the numbers.

Go invest in another hooker or something.  Seriously.

For me, I'm glad I have stuck with Cook.  My hair has really started thinning lately and deciding a C on Thursday arvo's won't help.  (The good thing I have found about thinning hair though is when it's a grey one that falls out never to grow back then it's a small victory each and every time    )


TL;DR: Yes we wanted more, but Cook has still been a great C option; personally I am finding picking and sticking a balanced reward; and getting old sucks.

What position are you suffering most in mate?

Nice banner btw.

My take on the interesting cows and low BEs:

Dearden - not urgent. He’s playing the bunnies away. We get to have a look at him, see what happens to niko, CHT, and make sure O’Sullivan keeps dropping off the reserves.

Flanagan - wouldn’t say now or never, as his next 3 fixtures are much better than this. If I could afford to, would prefer to hold likes of a Morgan (Home against Titans) over Flanagan vs the Storm this week and make a Dearden vs Flanagan cashout decision next week. Neither have great fixtures and neither play round 12: Can’t see a huge price rise for him this week.

Waddell - yes he plays 12 but I wouldn’t upgrade another cow to him and given he’s almost 400k and an interchange player, he is hardly a great downgrade or cash out either and this guy for me is boat missed. Be different if he was named to start this week. AFB back around just decreases my interest further.

Lomax - no round 12 but I’m not in the steer clear camp on him that a few others are. He’s a centre not a wingers arsehole and they’ve finally dropped that little greedy arsehole for him. Sound defensively, kicks goals, away this week but it is only Parra. He is a great cash out and should hold ok as a season keeping CTR/WFB number 20/21.

He has gained an opportunity somewhat through default

Cheers mate, I have no HLF cover at all. Currently running Morgan/Carty with a crocked Brown in EMG. As it stands I'd much prefer a straight cash out though like Lomax to maximise cash although WFB/CTR is pretty sorted though with Sivo acting as cover for the WFB and Xerri at CTR.

Dearden seems to be the guy that ticks both boxes but as you've stated more of a wait and see.

Thanks again

The forwards will be running at Dearden all day. I don't know how good defensively he is but if he can tackle he should end up making 20-25 tackles.

Get on him.

Actually considering switching from Bateman to him solely because of the dream

I'd totally forgotten mate so thanks for the reminder. This one brings back some wonderful memories
