Take the 57.

Fainu's severe cramp last week is a bit of a worry, not sure if he can go 80 or not.

Yeah I have Burns in NPR and if I could move him in for Fainu I would

I'd take 57 in the bank for sure

Taken, that puts me at 862/15 with Smith (C) and Jurbo left to play, and ranked in the 190s, which is huge for me considering I started the week at 247th.

I'd be a little wary of live ranks. There'll be a few scores getting looped in come 4pm tomorrow

988/16

Only smith to go

Greedy much?

No I think if you subtracted the extra 65 points if I didn't captain Cook and added 70 from that number it'd only be 5 more.  

I don't know, I hated maths.

lol. Appears I am worse at maths that I thought. I was just looking at the 130 compared to the 140, but indeed, there is more to it than that. That makes me feel a bit better then.

I'm really hoping picking Toomaga over Moga doesn't turn into my biggest regret this season. I listen to a few podcasts, but generally have my mind already made up and am rarely ever swayed another way. I blame The 18th Man podcast for this horrid decision, though, lol. Had Moga locked in but changed to Toomaga after listening to that podcast this week. Serves me right for not going with my gut. Just hoping Bateman and Nikora pull through the rest of the season okay...

For the record, Toomaga looked good for the 20mins he was on the field, and more or less scored a point for each minute he was on the field. But jeez he looked fucked after those 20min. And even with the injuries, he still only got 20min.

Fuck me gonna break 1000 easily, have moved up to 33rd overall and I'm gonna lose my eliminator H2H in the second round. Brutal

E: 894 + CS9, Moses, Fainu vs 850 + Jurbo, Turbo, Taupau and CS9

I’m behind everyone it seems. 732 with (C) Smith, AFB, Jturbo and Moses. Friends 6 hurts

846 with Smith,Taupau,Moses and Mahoney to come. Rank is at 25,praying for not too much of a drop

How the earth can you make this prediction now? I'm curious.

Meant to say "before the second round" sorry

forgot about the Eliminator, just looked at mine, scarily similar teams, unique match-ups seem to be

Me: Captain Cam + Cook, JTurb, TTurb
Him: Captain Cook + Cam, Tevega & a blank spot at HLF which would either be Moses or DCE

so in other words = Cam, JTurb, TTurb vs 124 + DCE/Moses... will go down to the wire, but i'm not overly confident in my chances at the upset.

935 with Smith, Taupau and Fainu
So far so good on not bringing Fifita back
The Manly big 3 of DCE and turbos is terrifying as a non owner

I see. I find it impossible to predict this stuff, so you never know. I'm pretty content with my team for the most part, but struggling like a snapped ballsack just to stay in the top 8 of my main H2H. Just hoping for some good fortune.

I'm currently behind by 6 this week with only Turbo to play in terms of unique players, and I find myself kind of hoping he gets rested again so I could pick up SST's 53 and avoid a Turbo hamstring or HIA in the first few mins of the game. Haha. Just been that kind of year.

748 with Smith, Taupau, Fainu, Moses, T.Turbo and loopholed Nikora.

Burns and Mitchell my ctr pairing for rest of season, too late to  change now.

Just a thought .... I think next season they should start giving points for one-on-one steals, it's definitely a skill and seems points-worthy
