Here's hoping the Broncos kick out to a solid early lead so they can reduce Haas' workload and let Carrigan pick up some extra mins. I would hate to see young Haas over doing it and burning himself out early in the season, or maybe I'm just being selfish.

Nice joke mate tell another one.

good lord, if that was sexist, stand-up comedy is cancelled, there's none left (men or women) once the outrage mob comes for them all.

Yeah, my comment before was in disbelief, not that I didn't know what is going on. People need to pull their heads out of their own asses sometimes IMO.

Only problem is no PODS. Team is solid as fuck and probably has the top players in each position just about... only problem is you need that 1-2 PODs in your team to climb up the ranks.

Yeah as I just said to Revs in PM, I doubt any women would be offended by that. Maybe ask them first before getting emo over it.

I just think people need to realise not everyone has the same opinion as one another. We are all brought up in different families, environments with different beliefs, thoughts and tendencies. The world tells us to be ourselves, and believe in what we believe in yet when someone preaches their belief they get shun down and attacked for it (speaking general world consensus here). I myself don't specifically choose to preach what I believe as I am an atheist who believes in science and equality. I just find it hard when someone like folau, who yes is supposed to be a role model, gets shun down for preaching in what he believes, yet we praise and glorify people who believe that the crossing lights should be female! I am all for equal wage and equality amongst all living beings but seriously do we not have more pressing issues like terrorism, unemployment and debt in our country!

This is the territory my team is travelling in also. It's great having all the best players and posting good scores but so difficult now to climb any rankings.

The thing about finding a good POD is that their porobably not going to score that much differently to a popular option anyway unless you manage to avoid an injury like the non Fifita owners did last year. You're almost counting on that to happen often enough to keep climbing. Finding a POD pumping out 60's like the main guns is difficult to nail. Even if the POD scores 50, the player that's in their place that's a more popular option is going to be scoring similar making it hard to climb.

Thank you
You raise some good points but no hooker has scored below their PPM since round 11.

Yeah, and you may be right that there is a trend going on here - or, it could be just a red-black situation and we are on a string of reds.....

It will be interesting the see if the trend continues!

Well, yeah you are a StormTrooper so makes sense.

Interesting mate, and nice work.

Therefore I think your 3.44% figure is probably the best stat of them all. Chuck a CI around that though and I suspect it would contain zero.

Love what you've done though mate!

There is no rivalry, I don't even know who they are.  

Regardless I've seen what passes for hilarity on this forum and with it I think it's a good time to bid this place farewell and adieu for the year.    

Hooroo

Hello guys just joined up and didn’t know this site existed til a week or so ago.

It’s my third year playing fantasy and I’m in some head to head leagues on Bunnies forums/sites.

Turns out one of the leagues couldn’t get filled so there are some celeb teams that’d have been in one of the league, Fantasy Fantatics, CK, Lone Scout, Renegade RFS, Damien Cook etc.....

I’m playing for head to head and overall, would love to join a league on here next year if that would be possible. I’m currently having my best season yet and am ranked 583 for overall.

I have 5 trades and 198k left and would love some advice, I need to get Teddy in but am stumped how to do so, my 18-21 in my squad are pretty weak.

I’ve considered trading Fifita out and then back in but it may not be the best choice, I also have Tevaga and Twal, trading Twal to Fifita though only leaves me 39k spare, I’ll just post my team below:

i mean, i wouldn't just yell it to her from across the street, but if some strange reason i found myself in a conversation and the context come up, it wouldn't be something i'd class as off-limits, there's nothing remotely offensive about it, every time the joke is approached it doesn't even paint women in a bad light, the set-up is ALWAYS "men are the dumbest things living in the universe for thinking they're smarter than/can win an argument against a women and here's why -"

And right on queue, the resident lefty snowflake pops up. Lol.

Of course it was slightly sexist, and I know a lot of women who would find it so, I’m married to one of them. But I downvoted it mainly because it’s just unoriginal.

I mean those broads always changing their minds amirite?

Already been said by literally hundreds of wits on every social media post about this woman bravely stepping out of the kitchen and into refereeing.
