Siro only flop for me so far, whereas he's had Staggs, E.Katoa, Williams and Luai all underwhelm.

104 ahead with Rudolf and Johnson to play vs his RCG.

On a side note, anyone else have the App for this on their phone - I'm using Android. My app just died last night and I can't use it anymore. Asks me if I want to open using Chrome or Browser and then just goes to a white screen. Gone. Anyone else have this?

Still working fine on iphone. Im gone in eliminator. Good luck everyone still alive

In all sorts of trouble at half time but I think the Dylan Brown try sank me

Up by 8 with SJ vs Brown and Rudolf

I would have killed for this score last week lol would have blown my opponent back. Ah well such is the beauty of the Eliminator I guess!

Lost with 1110 this week...

Will still make changes to try and win a weekly but that's my attention done for the year

Still in it with a pretty convincing win. The dream remains alive.

I lost mine by 40. Was looking safe as houses until Ponga scored 117....

23point win for me
1090 - 1067

1090 saw me rise 1 spot in the overall rankings.


A tough eliminator matchup this week.
Early prediction has me 1098 him 1089.
Hopefully Twal and Papenhuyzen back this week to give me a boost

Nice one! Good luck Milch!

Made back the 9 spots I lost last round. Gutted I only got the 4th highest score though - although I hadn't even considered it might be a top one.

Good luck for the Eliminator if you're still in it, hopefully one of you guys take it out

Differences in eliminator this week are;

Me (1109)     V       Them(1050)
Jazz T      V             Tohu H
N.Brown   V             Rudolf
G.Williams    V         HTF
D. Fifita       V          Tapine
J. Papalii      V          DCE
Mann          V           Nofoaluma
Haas (C)      V          Haas
T/lolo          V           T/lolo (C)

His bench is 6 cash outs + Grant & JTB so his only move could be to trade Grant to someone and play JTB over Hammer
I still have CS9 on the bench so it probably wouldn't have been this close if he was playing !!

I got the same score last week and a cow knocked me out.
Moral of the story is don't wish to score 1110. The score is now cursed.

Struggling a bit with my last reserve. Mann, or Brimson? Currently on Mann, but I wonder if Brimson could be good for a cheeky roll of the dice. At the moment, my Eliminator is looking like this;

Me vs Him
Papy vs Butcher
Tevaga vs Luai
Bateman vs Murray
Mann/Brimson vs Coates
DCE vs Jurbo
L.Leilua vs Klemmer

But hard to say much about that at the moment as he has a banquet of trade-out options, and interestingly enough, he still has Drinkwater too. Going to be interesting to see how we line up after lock-out.

I would go with Mann. When in doubt just go with home team.

How many trades does everyone have left? I have 10 left before any trades.

Thanks. Yeah, the sensible part of my brain is telling me to stick with Mann.

Holy shit, 10 trades left. I'm down to 4 after this week, 6 before trades.

I have 7, and I feel like that's cutting it fine, so you're owning it! I made up so many spots last year in the last few rounds because I had saved so many trades and could sideways trade injuries on a weekly basis.

I have four trades

Eliminator matchup

Me vs him
Papenhuyzen vs Moses
Aubusson vs Latrell
DFifita vs Luciano
Jurbo vs Aloiai
Ponga vs Nofoaluma
Eisenhuth vs Pangai (or his replacement, assuming they have trades)

We also have to play 1 of Mann/Lomax/Talau each (they play 2 if they can't trade Pangai) - so there is a potential difference there depending on which way we go

i have six trades left, was planning on using two this week but might just do one. StuDogg has me worried about the run home...

It's not that you should be worried, if you're doing upgrades then it's all good especially if you have bench cover. Just something to be wary of with so long to go in the season. 4 or 5 for injuries are what I'm looking at

Think I'm going to bite the bullet this week and dump Mofo and JFH. Both have been underwhelming, and it means i can get JTrbo and Klemmer or similar. Either that or get Koro back in. Either way, that's my 17 done for the year then bar injuries etc or if I feel like sidegrading someone else. Will leave me with something like:

Cook McInnes
Haas Carrigan Klemmer
Lolo DFifita JTrbo Matto
Cleary DCE DBrown
Yeo Mann
Teddy Ponga Lomax
