Yeah a couple of choices that went my way, lobbed with a couple that didnt.
I'm only at rank 3381 mate, but enjoying the fight as I dug the heels in since I was at rank 9750ish...
I like how ur treating it now LB, seem more settled and relaxed. It's good

We have been on similar paths mate didn’t realise, I’m enjoying the different battle in clawing backs the ranks this year instead of treading water!

Cheers mate, how can i be angry when I own Luke Brooks! Haha

I know your current rank isn't what you want or expect but that's a great rank climb Rev. You obviously have the form players who are scoring well so you could really push on from here.

Yeah if ur choices in Cappy and 13 to 17 and trades lead to some sort of improvement then u at least feel like ur in control hey. Treading = frustration.

I love a good late rise up the rankings. Hope it works well for ya, fella.

I've flipped the trend for my teams this year too. I'm gonna run out of trades with too many rounds left and will struggle to stay afloat, I think. :/

Just looking through my weeks and it's a rollercoaster.  Round 1 I was ranked 13800 then round 2 was about 2300.  Blew out to 6800 in round 4 and been between 5000 and 2000 from there with every week going up and down. Quite funny how much it varies, no trend at all. Round 12 I got to 1404 but as it stands sitting at 1912.

I'm buggered for 16 though and with 11 trades might even do some sideways trades for that round. Smith is the only person left that I want that plays that round though.

Mate I've had Brooks for a few weeks now, good trade imo.

Teddy will come back into my team btw.

Yeah round 16, the making or the breaking haha...

868 for my lads. Looks like a small win with Crichton not likely to play Origin 3. Small loss with Finucane now set to play Origin and looking like a dud trade. That's the breaks in fantasy

And RD17 should be interesting too.

Went Brooks/SST instead of McInnes/Finucane.

Small wins so far due to HIA/Origin

Thanks WL, it's going ok, I know we don't know how many are active players, but I'm chipping away.

Also I guess Carrigan/Verills are looking like the two standout cashouts for RD16 enablers??

Yeah gud choices and a bit of luck with the Hia.

750 - had McInnes, CNK, Pearce and Xerri score me a grand total of 42 points

That's tough mate. I feel for you.

Rough mate. Some of us copped 3 but you copped all 4. Bounce back next week mate.

You would have a good crack at 16 I would think?

Yeah he's a very nice person & he pm'ed me before the game but unfortunately I couldn't make it because I look after my dad. That pub would of gone off with the Liverpool win.

Hey WL, I noticed you posted about To'o a couple days back. I agree, but thought I'd add. I watched the kid very closely all game. He has a huge work rate carting the ball up on 1st or 2nd tackles the majority of sets. The thing that got me though is that unless I missed something, he was given the ball twice on the outside. The first was from broken play where he stepped inside and made a LB in the first half. The second was when Edwards put on that beautiful play for him to score in the second half. Every other time the ball went out to the right edge either Martin carted it up, or if it got outside Martin, Yeo hit it up. If he got a ball playing C inside him his scores would increase quite a bit I reckon. Great little player!

Yeah hopefully have a good go at it.

Not much else I can do

I couldn't agree more. As you said they hardly use him because they're are always hitting the other edge I think mainly because Kikau is there but that To'o is quite a player. I don't own him in fantasy but I do in vsdt & sc & he's really stepped up & scored well when I've had to play him the last 2 rounds. Imagine if the Panthers start hitting To'o's edge instead of the left he'll score 40+ every game.
