517 with c)ook Murray arey Morgan cnk to come. 800 will be a miracle

I'm 509 with these 5 to come mate.  Captain Cook also.  He needs a monster game.

When you’ve been killing it week after week and even your name mentioned in the origin frame only for you to be dropped for Peni Teropo and have the fullback play in that spot for you would definitely play an effect on your head. The poor fella! I don’t know what BA was thinking I don’t think he was. Hopefully he’s seen that error and won’t try stupid Mary shit like that again

One of the most stupidest moves I've ever seen with no reason or benefit.  I'm sure he will be starting next week.

I am hoping to make 800.

467 with Cook (C), Morgan, Arey, Murray, Tedesco, and CNK left to play.

Im 406/9(c) obvs capt Fifita the killer. Tough week

What on earth was the logic in starting Mahoney off the bench? Does it make sense to you lads who know your league? He seems to have been going well playing 80. If its because he's starting to get jaded at this point of the season its a real concern....

I'm guessing Arthur predicted Melbourne to come out firing after their loss last week, and wanted to protect Mahoney from the opening 20 minutes so he'd be fresh for the end of the game.

Broncos used to do it a lot with McCullough, starting Thaiday or McGuire at hooker

For a laugh & not really expecting a reply I sent off a complaint to fanhub complaining about the 8 missed tackles attributed to JFH & thought there's no way they would reply. They did but it's a stats provider issue & they provided an email address for the stats provider. They replied pretty quickly too which surprised me as I wasn't really expecting a reply. Anyway I've now emailed the stats provided raising the issue. I don't expect them to change it & as Milchy said fantasy actually gave JFH an extra 7 tackles (so I hope they don't realise & dock him some tackles haha #digmyowngrave) compared to sc but it will be a good exercise to see how quickly they deal with issues concerning player scoring.

Thanks, Wonder if he will do it again? Didnt work very well by the looks.

This is a funny week. Some people gonna really drop in rankings and others gonna soar. Its not so much the popular guys scoring poorly IMO, its guys like Munster & Milford that will really seperate some teams. Well done if you've got both of these lads.

Good luck with the stats providers - what is their email though? They could do with a rocket up them every now and then. Just to remind them that people do actually check the work they are doing.

I was just going to post it = feedback@nrl.com.au

So if you are questioning a certain player's score/stats then send an email. I actually have to say the email  from fanhub was pretty sympathetic & helpful.

Fainu will be a good purchase if Koroisau's foot injury results in him missing a good chunk of games.

I don't think anyone was very surprised by Melbourne winning big last night, after the public flogging Bellamy gave his team last week. Parra were just the unfortunate team in the way, and Arthur had the tough task of trying to stop it. If it wasn't for wanting fantasy points, people wouldn't think twice about some of the actions coaches take (except Mary swapping 1 fit centre for another - that is just craziness)

I've always been a pretty harsh critic of the Warriors because I care but if they play well I will compliment them as well. That comeback victory was a great effort after being 18-6 down at half time & to keep the Dragons scoreless in the 2nd half the victory was even more impressive. Why can't they play like that every week is the question all Warriors's fans want answered.

Im thinking of bringing Ash Taylor into my team next week. Cheap as chips and hopefully the worst of his scoring is behind him. Has lost over 200k this year. Got 50 this week so should have a low breakeven next week and plays 12. Also with my money itb i could get Taylor and Fainu for CHT and Brown who im still sitting on. Would be handy coming up to r12. Only downside is he could just start stinking it up again.

Fanhub cop enough flack for some of the things they stuff up (most of it justified) that it must feel bad when they get hammered for stuff beyond their control

These are the guys that do stats these days

I hate companies that don't include phone numbers or email addresses on their web page. Are we supposed to send in our queries via Australia Post?

On Ash Taylor I would be inclined to be patient before jumping in just make sure this game wasn't a 1 off. Also remember T. Roberts was out this game so everything went through Ash. When Roberts is playing he seems to be the dominant half not Ash.

All the worries that the field would be a mess by the Sunday games looks off the mark. All the games I've seen have been open running games with no issues regarding the field. There have been a couple of bad injury but they were players ending up in awkward positions resulting in injury.

Marty Taupau probably won’t be any cheaper than at the moment though he is a concern injury and minute wise there is not a lot out there to look as an alternative.
