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.

He did get 49 the week before. For me this week was the week where i waited to see if he would back it up. At the price hes just too enticing. Also has 1.2% ownership. Im more than likely gonna get him and regret it a week from now.

476/11 - deadset shocking with only players above 50 so far being Tolman, Ponga, Arrow and Haas

My remaining players need to step up - Tedesco, CNK, Cook (c), Murray, ARey, Taumalolo

Yeah I don't know what Des is up to regarding Taupau's minutes this season. When Des was at the Bulldogs his props played big minutes so everyone was assuming Taupau would be gold. Ofc we don't know what's going on behind the scenes but there must be an injury &/or fitness issues with Taupau. He's had a recent ankle injury & in games he has hit the wall earlier than usual & when I see training photos he seems to have a bit of flab on his stomach when usually he's doesn't have any body fat at all. Des is known to thrash players in the off season so for Taupau to be carrying a bit of a tyre it tells me that Taupau didn't do many pre season gut busters.

628 with AREY, Murray, CNK to play. 750 is a long way away.

Smith with the C, could have been so much more.

All my bench (Rein, Burr, Waddell, Mahoney scored under Lanes 50 (Lane in my 18-21).

I might be inclined to join you mate,ARey and Ponga are my HLFs but at the cost of having Hughes and Sivo in my WFBs which I don’t think I can do much longer so I might be looking at a cut price HLF option plus boosting round 12 numbers

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 think the logic behind it was needing a bigger body defending in the middle to match the likes of NAS, Jbrom and Finucane early. He was willing to risk the attack structure to do it with Gutho, Salmon and Moses all spending a little bit of time attacking from hooker. It basically says to me he doesn’t trust Mahoney’s defence in an important game which is a terrible message to send your starting hooker

White Lightning wrote: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.

Few concerns in a channel down the middle and one of the corners looking very worn
Apparently the grounds staff have been blasting the field with heat lamps overnight each day to try and grow a bit of grass

Fifita captain slightly offset by Munster and Matterson having blinders. 676 with Murray, Arey, Teddy, CNK to come. Should be somewhat respectable but gonna lose some ground to cook owners

Looking good mate. Anything over 850 looks great this week. Fingers crossed but I'd expect you to clear it comfortably

Mighty Fishes:

198 points + A. Crichton

Me:

D. Cook (C) + CNK + A. Reynolds + M. Morgan

Would you just like me to make it easier and hand you your avatar now?

Random wrote:I am hoping to make 800.

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

I’ll get 801

Nearly landed on captain Arey but was worried about the field holding up for 8 games. Hopefully a respectable ending

The benching of Mahoney might be a suttle way of BA saying that Mahoney isn't ready for origin yet

586 with Murray, Taumalolo, Arey, Teddy and Klokstad still to come.

Captain Fifi, Mahoney, Burr, Lawrie low scores.
Munster and Haas high scores.

Rocks and Diamonds for me this round

I'm 500/11 - Teddy, CNK, Wighton, Reynolds, Cook(c) and Murray to play. Hoping for 850 but probably need big ones from Teddy and Cook to haul up whatever CNK and Wighton deliver. It could be anything really

Eels line-up next week will be interesting, Might be an admission from Arthur that Mahoney isn’t ready to be an 80-minute hooker just yet, which is something I’ve been seeing, has a great 60-65 minutes in him, but really struggles through the last part of the game.

It would be perfect for burns to be back this week for an easy downgrade for Bird

For the guy asking about Taylor.

He is shit.

590 with Cook, Murray, Reynolds & CNK to come. 800 would be great. Sliding down the rankings. Captain Fifi violated me, dry. I need a banner from Reyno and CNK each, and Cooky to just get a quiet 45 this week. Murray with 70. Thanks in advance.
