Interesting that everyone scored so highly this week. With 9254 points, it was actually the lowest scoring round this year.

Good scores just concentrated in popular fantasy players

The following players scored single digits:

Corey Thompson - 9
JAC - 9
Welch - 9
Luai - 7
To'o - 7
SST - 9
Collins - 7
Don - 6
Rhyse Martin - 8
Hampton - 1
Kris - 2
Rava - 9
Aitken - 8
Host - 7
Blayke Brailey - 9
Boyle - 8

I feel like that's a fair few more than normal.... SST, Martin and Rava would've been owned and played by a few.

Yew... Joined the 997 club and jumped into top 2800s ... at this rate I might get promoted to level 51

Okunbor straight to Lolo?

Okunbor does play round 12 and after a score of 52, his price should rise in the next couple of weeks. But if it's the only way to get taumalolo I would much rather that.

Just realised I'm 4 players away from my finalists 17... Only Morgan the real one I can't stand to play though

Cust ? Lol

No this should be for a keeper half, starting to think is Morgs the keeper half we have all been denying...

If not worried about origin, I'd look at Munster

Wasn't going to trade this week, but might ditch Capewell.

2 poor scores in a short space of time, and not a round 12 player.

Initial thoughts are Sivo to Cotric and Brown to Lolo leaving my team looking like this

15 trades(yikes!) 8k bank

Cook
Fifita Tolman
Murray Taupau Arrow
ARey Ponga
Nikora Xerri
Tedesco CNK Cotric

Smith
Taumalolo
Haas
Rein

Mahoney
Young
Dearden
Whitbread

Barring injuries I’m not trading for a while and I think my team is nicely set up,just needing to upgrade a few players like Xerri and knowing when to jump off peaked cows like Rein,Mahoney etc. Thoughts anyone?

Haven't got Dearden and I seem to be surviving. Making steady cash, is going to do his job as a cash cow but doesn't seem like a must have.

I was going to get Martin in this week but then Papenhuyzen happened. Should make some okay cash and play Round 12 but again you'll survive without him.

and I had to be the one facing you in the mods league, ya bastard!

Why why why why couldn’t I have versed Random this week 

17 trades left. Is it worth trading Xerri to Herbert or Walker for a little extra cash?

Nah.

Really hope Burns is named this week or next, hate playing Lomax in centre, but there is absolutely nobody else Rnd 12 who looks attractive, only centres worth buying are the primos like Marsters and Mitchell, and that's a bit of a waste if you haven't got a billion trades and long-term plan is Bateman/Nikora. Burns would fit bill as decent centre until Bateman returns and then final team wfb/ctr cover, but if he's not back by 12 might have to punt on someone like Waqa Blake pulling a run of scores out of his arse.

Xerri is being hampered by Flano. But don't waste trades on CTRs lol

Capewell and Lawrie on the chopping block this week. Kapow and another r12 player to come into the team. (Unless Papenhuyzen gets the number 1 jersey, which I think is unlikely)

Alright just one trade for the week. CHT to Papenhuyzen. 178k in the bank.

I think I'm actually going to have to pass on Lolo and go for some Round 16 guns.

Cook
Tolman, Fifita
Arrow, Murray, Taupau
Flanagan, Moses
Xerri, Nikora
CNK/Papz, Ponga, Teddy

Haas, Smith, Farah, Rein

CNK/Papz, Young, Sivo, Allan

All depends on TLT I guess.

Not planning any trades this week. Gonna stick with last weeks team. Only changes are putting cap back on Cook and might play Young over Surgess. But that one im gonna decide last minute. No point trading Surgess to Lolo now. Might as well wait till r13 and trade him to Fifi.

Did you not see that Wayne said Burns won't be back anytime in the next month?

I hadn't. I have now. That's irritating...

Anybody else struggle to get onto the site this morning?

It's very annoying with Burns. Even though he is a trade, I still need to move Lawrie and Burr on as they likely lose money. Going cold on Martin as a trade in too so I'm not sure who I could cash out to anyway

Probably going to miss out on Papenhuyzen train. Hopefully I can just stick to Morgan/Cleary this week.
