Fuck, I only just got him in this week. Will it be because of the score?

We don't know.

Last week he moved to the halves when Liddle came on, but that was without Benji.

Marsters is such a gun

Is Cleary a member of Bird's school of being loved by stats guys or does he just get points in the right stats. Been average and nearly got 50

Yeah I know. But at his price I was hoping for a 80 minute hooker.

Yeah, happy with his score, but not what I was hoping for when I too made the purchase this week. I guess we can only hope it’s because of the score. I stupidly captained him too, which is a bit of a bummer considering what he’d have got if he played the 80.

I haven't been watching the game but it looks like Matterson is finally living up to his Fantasy potential. It's frustrating, as I brought him in at the start and stuck with him for the first 7 rounds. Mind you, he would have been averaging somewhere around 45/50 but I always felt he had a potential higher base.

Wonder if Farah's only gone off because of the scoreline. Wouldn't surprise me.
Makes it hard to judge whether he'll continue to play 80 regardless of the bench. :/

Cleary has scored very well in a very wet blow out

And I disagreed with it then too. What's happening is that a rich team can buy another home game. The Tigers have never taken a Warriors game to Mount Smart.

I also have issues with the unbalanced draw the NRL has but that's a rant for another day.

Broncos aren't buying the game. I don't believe thy get any financial benefit. Manly get the money from hosting the game.

If they just got themselves a decent stadium in Sydney they wouldn't need to.

Most other teams in Sydney have realised you can't make money playing at shitty surburban grounds all the time. If Manly/other teams didn't sell home games they'd struggle more financially.

People whinge about a top 8 rewarding mediocrity, but one thing it does is mean everyone has a chance to play finals, even if they get a worse draw than other teams

My main issue is the sporting inequality the arrangement creates. Broncos get 13 home games, everyone else gets 12.

Doesn't look like it will matter much for the Broncos this year though.

Yep, as a coach make the most of an opportunity, rest the old bloke give the young bloke a run you might be stuck with

I think I might go Cleary over DCE after origin

Yeah, I hate the uncertainty it creates going forward.

Maloney kicked the ball and when down like a footballer

Great win for the Tigers

He says in a week where a lot of people captained Fifita.

Cleary 55 somehow lol.

Great week to buy him

Fuck the Broncos

and fuck the Panthers... hahaa

Impressive Brookes

Matterson might help salvage my week, but I doubt it
